(S, TA.) [See also حَذَمَانٌ, below.] Hence, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) 'Omar said, (S, TA,) to the مُؤَذّن of Jerusalem, (TA,) إِذَا أَذَّنْتَ قَتَرَسَّلْ وَإِذَا أَقَمْتَ فَاحْذِمْ, (S, A, Mgh, Msb, TA,) i. e.

[with the ه of pausation]: and some say that the ه of pausation is likened to the fem. ة, and is then made movent with fet-h. (TA. [See more in art. ليت.]) b4: See also حِينَةٌ, in two places.

(IB, TA.) and one says, مَا أَلْقَاهُ إِلَّا الحِينَةَ بَعْدَ الحِينَةَ, i. e. الحِينَ

(S.) 6 تباطأ [accord. to general analogy, He feigned, or affected, to be slow, tardy, &c.: or] he was slow, or sluggish; or he made delay; in going, or pace: and he held back from work, or action.

(S, TA.) [بطآن is an enunciative placed before its inchoative: and, being originally بَطُؤَ, it may be a simple enunciative, or an enunciative having an intensive signification; as that verb signifies simply “ it was slow,” &c., and may be used as co-ordinate to رَمُوَ, meaning “ excellent is he in his shooting! ” &c., and قَضُوَ
