4 اوجس He conceived a thing in his mind;
syn. أَضْمَرَ. (
A.) So in the
Kur, [xx. 70,] فَأَوْجَسَ فِى نَفْسِهِ خِيفَةً And he conceived in his mind a fear: (Aboo-Is-hák,
S:) and ↓ تَوَجَّسَ signifies the same: (

Kur. signify he perceived, or felt, and conceived, in his mind a fear; (
K;) and in like manner in the same book, [xi. 73, and] li. 28: or, as Aboo-Is-hák says, in one place, اوجس signifies fear fell into his mind. (
TA.) See also 1, and 5.

S,
A,
K) a sound, (
A,) or a low, faint, gentle, or soft, sound. (

Ex. توّجس رِكْزًا [He listened to a low, sound], occurring in a poem of Dhu-r-Rummeh: or, as some say, it means he perceived a low sound, and listened to it, being in fear. (

TA.) And in another it is said, respecting the same case, that they used to dislike [what is termed] الوَجْس. (

A2: See also أَوْجَسُ.
وَجَسَانٌ: see 1, and وَجْسٌ.
وَجَّاسٌ is
syn. with عَالِمٌ [Knowing, &c.]; and therefore made
trans. by means of بِ in the saying of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, ذُو مِرَّةٍ بِدِوَارِ الصَّيْدِ وَجَّاسُ [An intelligent person, acquainted with the circumvention of game: see دَاوَرَهُ]: (
M, art. دور:) (
ISd holds it to be a possessive
epithet, since it has no known verb [of a suitable meaning that is unaugmented]: or [the meaning of these words is, a person possessing skill in circumventing game, a listener, or attentive, to their sounds and motions; for],
accord. to Es-Sukkaree, رجّاس means يَتَوَجَّسُ. (
TA.) وَاجِسٌ An opinion, idea, or object of thought, bestirring itself, or occurring, in the mind;
syn. هَاجِسٌ, (
S,
K,) i. e., خَاطِرٌ. (
TA.) أَوْجَسُ A little of food, and of beverage. (
K.) One says, مَا دُقْتُ عِنْدَهُ أَوْجَسُ I tasted not, at his abode, any food; (El-Umawee,
S;) and [in like manner] ↓ وَجْسًا. (
TA.) And مَافِى سِقَائِهِ
أَوْجَسُ There is not in his skin a drop: thus the phrase is given, without the mention of beverage: or a drop of water. (
TA.) It is said that the word is not used except in negative phrases. (
TA.)
b2: Also, الأَوْجَسُ and الأَوْجُسُ (
S,
K) the latter on the authority of Yaakoob, (
S,
TA,) but the former is the more chaste, (
TA,) Time;
syn. الدِّهْرَ. (
S,
K.) Hence the saying, (
TA,) لَاأَفْعَلُهُ سَجِيسَ الأَوْجَسِ, (
S,
K,) and الأَوْجُسِ, (
S,) I will not do it ever. (
ISk,
S,
K.) And أَفْعَلُهُ سَجِيسَ عُجَِيْسَ الأَوْجَسٍ I will not do it while time lasts. (El-
Fárisee.)
