1 عَانَتْ, (
S,
K,)
aor. ـُ
inf. n. عَوْنٌ, (
S,
TA, [but see what follows,]) said of a woman, She was, or became, such as is termed عَوَان [
q. v.]; as also ↓ عَوَّنَتْ,
inf. n. تَعْوِينٌ: (
S,
K:) and in like manner, عانت,
aor. as above,
inf. n. عُؤُونٌ, [or عَوْنٌ, (
Ham p. 630,)] is said of a cow,
accord. to
Az. (
TA.) 2 عَوَّنَ see 1:
A2: and see also 10.
A3: تَعْوِينٌ signifies also The he-ass's leaping his she-ass much, or often. (
IAar,
K.)
A4: And The invading another in respect of his share, or portion. (
K.) 3 عَاوَنَهُ,
inf. n. مُعَاوَنَةٌ and عِوَانٌ (
K,) [He aided, helped, or assisted, him, being aided, &c., by him:] see 6:
b2: and
i. q. أَعَانَهُ: see the latter, and see also 10.
4 اعانهُ [
inf. n. إِعَانَةٌ] and ↓ عَاوَنَهُ signify the same, (
S, *
MA,
K,) i. e. He aided, helped, or assisted, him. (
MA.) رَبِّ أَعِنِّى وَلَا تُعِنْ عَلَىَّ [O my Lord, aid me, and aid not against me,] is said in a form of prayer. (
S.) [And you say, اعانهُ عَلَي الأَمْرِ
lit. He aided him against, meaning, to accomplish, or perform, the affair]. See also 6 and 10, the latter in two places.
5 تَعَيَّنَ, originally تَعَوَّنَ: see 10, last sentence.
6 تَعَاوَنُوا signifies بَعْضُهُمْ بَعْضًا ↓ أَعَانَ, (
S,
Msb,
K,) They aided, helped, or assisted, one another; (
MA;) as also ↓ عَاوَنُوا; (
Msb;) and ↓ اِعْتَوَنُوا, (
S,
K,) in which the و is preserved because it is preserved in تعاونوا with which it is
syn.; (
Sb,
S;) and also ↓ اِعْتَانُوا,
accord. to
IB, who cites as an
ex. a verse in which نَعْتَانُ occurs; but this correctly means نَأْخُذُ العِينَةَ [belonging to art. عين]. (
TA.) One says, تَعاونوا عَلَي الأَمْرِ They aided, helped, or assisted, one another [
lit. against, meaning, to accomplish, the affair]. (
MA.) 8 اِعْتَوَنُوا and اِعْتَانُوا: see 6, in two places.
10 استعانهُ and استعان بِهِ He sought, desired, demanded, or begged, of him, aid, help, or assistance. (
MA.) You say, اِسْتَعَنْتُهُ, (
Mgh,) or اِسْتَعَنْتُ بِهِ, (
S,
Msb,) or both, (
K,) ↓ فَأَعَانَنِى (
S,
Mgh,
Msb, *
K) and ↓ عَاوَنَنِى, (
S,
TA,) for which last, ↓ عَوَّنَنِى is erroneously put in the copies of the
K; (
TA;) [i. e. I sought, &c., of him, aid, &c., and he aided me.] The alteration of the infirm letter [و into ا] is made in استعان and ↓ اعان in imitation of a general rule [which requires it when that alteration is made in the unaugmented triliteral verb], though عَانَ,
aor. ـُ [as their source of derivation,] is not used. (
TA.) ب [i. e. بِ] is called حَرْفُ اسْتِعَانَةٍ [A
particle denotative of seeking aid, &c.,] because when you say ضَرَبْتُ بِالسَّيْفِ and كَتَبْتُ بِالقَلَمِ and بَرَيْتُ بِالمُدْيَةِ, it is as though you said اِسْتَعَنْتُ بِهٰذِهِ الأَدَوَاتِ عَلَي هٰذِهِ الأَفْعَالِ [meaning I sought aid of these instruments, or made use of them as means, against, i. e. to perform, these actions of smiting &c.]. (
TA.) [And you say, استعان بِنَفْسِهِ, meaning He sought self-help, or exerted himself, فِي أَمْرٍ in an affair, and عَلَيْهِ against it, or him.]
A2: استعان signifies also He shaved his عَانَة, or pubes; (
S,
Msb,
K;) and so ↓ تَعَيَّنَ, originally تَعَوَّنَ, on the authority of
ISd. (
TA.) عَوْنٌ (
S,
Mgh,
K) and ↓ مَعُونَةٌ (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K) and ↓ مَعْوُنَةٌ, (
K,
TA,) with damm to the و, agreeably, with
analogy, (
TA, [in the
CK written مَعْوَنَةٌ,]) and ↓ مَعَانَةٌ (
S,
Msb,
K) and ↓ مَعُونٌ, (
S,
K,) [respecting the second and last of which see what follows,] are simply substs., (
Mgh,
Msb,
K,) and signify Aid, help, or assistance: (
S,
Mgh, *
Msb, *
K: *) عَوْنٌ is one of those quasi-
inf. ns. that govern like the
inf. n., i. e. like the verb; as in the saying, إِذَا صَحَّ عَوْنُ الخَالِقِ الْمَرْءَ لَمْ يَجِدْ عَسِيراً مِنَ الآمَالِ إِلَّا مُيَسَّرَا [When the Creator's aiding the man is true, he will not find such as is difficult, of hopes, otherwise than facilitated]: (
I 'Ak, § إِعْمَالُ المَصْدَرِ:) or,
accord. to
AHei, it is an
inf. n. [having no verb]: (
TA:) ↓ مَعُونَةٌ is of the measure مَقْعُلَةٌ, (
Az,
Msb,
TA,) from العَوْنُ; (
Az,
TA;) or, as some say, of the measure فَعُولَةٌ, from المَاعُونُ: (
Az,
Msb,
TA:) one says, مَا عِنْدَكَ مَعُونَةٌ and ↓ مَعَانَةٌ and عَوْنٌ [i. e. There is not with thee any aid]: (
S:) and ↓ مَا أَخْلَانِى فُلَانٌ مِنْ مَعَاوِنِهِ [Such a one did not make me to be destitute of his aids]; مَعَاوِنُ being
pl. of مَعُونَةٌ: (
S,
TA:) ↓ مَعُونٌ is said by
Ks to be
syn. with مَعُونَةٌ; (
S;) and he says that it is the only
masc. of the measure مَفْعُلٌ except مَكْرُمٌ: (
TA:) an
ex. of it occurs in a verse of Jemeel cited
voce أَىُّ:
Fr says that it is
pl. [virtually, though not in the language of the grammarians,] of مَعُونَةٌ; (
S,
TA;) and that there is no
sing. of the measure مَفْعُلٌ. (
S. [On this point, see مَأْلُكٌ,
voce أَلُوكٌ.])

pl. number, (

TA,) and to a male, (
TA,) and to a female: (

TA in art. تأر:) أَعْوَانٌ is
pl. of عَوْنٌ; (
Lth,
S,
Msb,
K;) and ↓ عَوِينٌ is a
quasi-pl. n., (
K,) said by
AA to be
syn. with أَعْوَانٌ, and
Fr says the like. (
TA.) The Arabs say, السَّنَةُ جَآءَتْ مَعَهَا
أَعْوَانُهَا, meaning When drought comes, [its aiders] the locusts and the flies and diseases come with it. (
TA.) And عَوْنٌ signifies Anything that aids, helps, or assists, one: for instance, [one says,] الصَّوْمُ عَوْنُ العِبَادَةِ [Fasting is the aider of religious service]. (
Lth,
TA.)
b3: See also what next follows.
أَبُو عُونٍ, with damm, Dates: and salt: (
K:) or ↓ أَبُو عَوْنٍ [thus, with fet-h,] has the latter meaning; salt being metonymically thus called because its aid is sought for the eating of food. (
Har p. 227.) عَانَةٌ A herd of wild asses: (

K:) and a she-ass: (
K:)
pl. عُونٌ, (

accord. to
Az (
Mgh,
Msb,
TA) and
AHeyth, (
TA,) the place of growth of the hair above the anterior pudendum of a man (
Msb,
TA) and of a woman; (
TA;) the hair itself being called the شِعْرَة (
Mgh,
Msb,
TA) and the إِسْب; (
Msb,
TA;) though it is also called عانة (
Mgh,
Msb) by an extension of the proper meaning (
Mgh) or by an ellipsis: (
Msb:) the word is originally عَوَنَةٌ: (
Msb:) and the
dim. is ↓ عُوَيْنَةٌ. (
Mgh.)
A3: فُلَانٌ عَلَي عَلَي عَانَةِ بَكْرِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ is a saying mentioned by
Lh as meaning جَمَاعَتِهِمْ وَحُرْمَتِهِمْ [i. e.,
