accord. to
A'Obeyd, one says to her عَاجٍ, and جَاهٍ, with tenween: [but see art. جوه:]

inf. ns. of عَوِجَ,
q. v., or the latter is a simple
subst.; and both, used as simple substs.,] signify Crookedness, curvity, a bending, a winding, wryness, contortion, distortion, or unevenness: (

IAth,
TA:)
Az makes the same distinction; but adds that some of the Arabs used the latter word in relation to a road: (
Msb:)
accord. to
ISk, (
S,
O,) the former is in anything erect, (
S,
O,
K,) or in anything that was erect and has inclined, (

TA:) and عَوَجٌ, (
S,
O,
TA, [thus
accord. to both of my copies of the
S,]) or عِوَجٌ, (
accord. to a copy of the
A, [which I incline to regard as the right, in consideration of its consistency with explanations here preceding, notwithstanding the apparent preponderance of authority in favour of عَوَجٌ,]) in a man, signifies evilness of natural disposition: (
S,
A, O: [and so,
app., هَوَجٌ:]) or عَوَجٌ, with fet-h to the ع, as an

L,
Msb:) and
pl. عُوجٌ. (
L.) One says ↓ عَصًا مُعْوَجَّةٌ [A crooked, or crooking, staff or stick]; but not مِعْوَجَّةٌ, with kesr to the م: (
S, O:) or,
accord. to
ISk, one says the former; but not ↓ مُعَوَّجَةٌ, with fet-h to the ع and teshdeed to the و; though
analogy does not forbid this, as it is allowable to say عَوَّجَهَا:
accord. to
As, one should not say ↓ مُعَوَّجٌ, with teshdeed to the و, except in applying it to a stick, or in another sense
expl. below:
Az says that this word is allowable as signifying rendered crooked or curved &c. (
Msb.)
b2: [Hence,] العَوْجَآءُ signifies The bow. (

b5: نَخِيلٌ عُوجٌ signifies Palm-trees inclining, or leaning, and therefore crooked, or curved: and
accord. to some, the saying of Lebeed, describing a [wild] he-ass and his she-asses, وَأَوْرَدَهَا عَلَى عُوجٍ طِوَالِ [the latter hemistich of a verse cited in the first paragraph of art. حوذ] means, And he brought them to the watering-place at [tall] palm-trees growing over the water, inclining and curving by reason of the abundance of their fruit: but others say that the meaning of على عوج is, upon their crooked legs. (
TA.)
b6: Hence, عُوجٌ signifies The legs of a horse or similar beast; (
O,
TA;) as
ISd says, thus used as an
epithet in which the quality of a
subst. predominates [
app. implying their having that bending, or curving, and tension of the sinews, termed تَجْنِيب, agreeably with what here follows]. (

prov., (
Meyd,
O,
TA,) meaning fortune at one time declines from thee, and at another time returns to thee; (
Meyd;) said by him at whose affliction one rejoices, or said on his part, and sometimes on an occasion of threatening:
Az says that عُوجٌ, here, may be
pl. of أَعْوَجُ, or of عَوْجَآءُ; or it may be
pl. of ↓ عَائِجٌ, and originally عُوُجٌ. (
O,
TA.) [Hence,] العُوجُ is used as signifying The days [in allusion to their variableness with respect to good and evil]. (
TA.)
b11: and أَعْوَجُ is a [proper] name of A watering-trough. (
Th,
TA.)

أَعْوَجِىٌّ the rel.
n. of أَعْوَجُ: (
Msb,
TA:) and applied to A [single] horse of those termed الأَعْوَجِيَّاتُ, (
TA,) an appellation of certain horse so called in relation to one named أَعْوَجُ, belonging to the Benoo-Hilál, (
S,
O,
K,) a stallion than which there was none more celebrated among the Arabs, nor any that had a more numerous progeny: (

L,) and ↓ بَنَاتُ أَعْوَجَ, (
S,
O,) and ↓ بَنَاتُ عُوجٍ; and a poet says, وَقَاحُ الحَافِرِ ↓ أَحْوَى مِنَ العُوجِ [Brown, or a blackish bay, of the progeny of Aawaj, hard in the hoof]; meaning ↓ مِنْ وَلَدِ أَعْوَجَ; using that form of
pl. because أَعْوَجُ is originally an
epithet. (
TA.) مَعَاجٌ A place to which one turns; or in which one remains, stays, dwells, or abides. (
Har p. 325.)
A2: Also an
