(S.) A2: He directed himself, or his course or aim, to, or towards, him, or it: (Az, TA:) and ↓ تحجّى

And بِهٰذَا المَكَانِ ↓ تَحَجَّيْتُ I preceded you, or outwent you, to this place, and clave to it before you. (S, TA.) And [hence,] بِهِمْ ↓ تحجّى is said to mean (assumed tropical:) He was first, or foremost, or quick, to blame them. (TA.) b3: حَجِىَ, (K, TA,) aor. ـَ (TA,) is also [said to be] syn. with عَدَا, (K,) He ran; (TK;) thus bearing two contr. significations: (K:) but this requires consideration.

[And hence, I tried him with an enigma or enigmas, and overcame him therein: (see 6:) or] I proposed to him an enigma [&c.]: (T, TA:) [or I contended with him in proposing an enigma or enigmas, &c.]: i. e. دَاعَيْتُهُ فَغَلَبْتُهُ: (S:) so in the handwriting of Aboo-Zekereeyà, and in that of Aboo-Sahl, [and in my two copies of the S,] but in [some of the copies of] the S دعيته.

You say, يَتَحَاجَوْنَ بِأُحْجِيَّةٍ [They try one another with an enigma: or contend, one with another, in proposing an enigma]: (S, TA:) التَّحَاجِى signifying التَّدَاعِى.

[or rather coll. gen. n.] of ↓ حَجَاةٌ: (S, K: [in the CK, erroneously, حِجاة:]) the latter word, which is like حَصَاةٌ, is explained by Az as signifying a bubble that rises upon water, like a flask; and as having for its pl. حَجَوَاتٌ: and the same word (حجاة) signifies also a pool of water, itself, such as is left by a torrent. (TA.) A3: See also حَجِىٌّ.

A4: حَجَا is also used, by poetic license, for حَجَاج, q. v. (TA in art. حج.) حَجٍ: see حَجِىٌّ.

A2: إِنَّهُ لَحَجِىٌ إِلَى بَنِى فُلَانٍ means لَا جِئٌ لَهُمْ [i. e. Verily he is betaking himself for refuge, or protection, to the sons of such a one; like لَحَجِئٌ: but by rule it should be لَحَجٍ; and thus, perhaps, it is correctly written]. (Az, TA.) حِجًا or حِجًى Intelligence, or understanding; (S, Msb, K;) sagacity, or skill and knowledge: (K:) [said to be] from حَجَا meaning “ he, or it, prevented, or withheld; ” because it prevents, or withholds, a man from doing that which is bad, or corrupt.

A contention in intelligence &c.; and particularly, in trying with an enigma or enigmas; in proposing an enigma or enigmas; or simply the proposal of an enigma; see 3]; (T, TA;) the subst. denoted by حَاجَيْتُهُ فَحَجَوْتُهُ; (K;) [or rather by the verb حَاجَيْتُ, agreeably with the foregoing explanation from the T;] as also ↓ حُجَيَّا, (S, K, TA,) with a dammeh, (K, TA,) and with teshdeed of the ى; (TA; [in some copies of the K erroneously written حُجْيُا;]) and ↓ أُحْجِيَّةٌ: (S:) or ↓ حُجَيًّا is the dim. of حَجْوَى: (T, TA:) and ↓ أُحْجِيَّةٌ signifies a saying of which the meaning differs from the letter, as also ↓ أُحْجُوَّةٌ, (K,) but احجيّة is preferable, (T, TA,) and كَلِمَةٌ

(Seer, in Har ubi suprà.) One says, مَاكَانَ ↓ حُجَيَّاكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا [The question of contention with thee in trying thine intelligence by an enigma, or the enigma proposed to thee, is, What is, or was, such a thing, and such a thing?]: it means a certain game, and a question put with the view of causing one to make a mistake: A 'Obeyd says, It is like their saying, Disclose what is in my hand, and thou shalt have such a thing. (S.) One says also, فِى هٰذَا ↓ أَنَا حُجَيَّاكَ, meaning مَنْ يُحَاجِيكَ [i. e. I am he who contends with thee in intelligence, or in trying with an enigma, &c., respecting this thing]. (S.) And ↓ بَيْنَهُمْ أُحْجِيَّةٌ يَتَحَاجَونَ بِهَا [Between them is a contention in intelligence, or in proposing enigmas, or between them is an enigma, with which they try one another]. (S.) هُوَحَجِىٌّ بِهِ He is adapted, disposed, apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, competent, or proper, for it; or worthy of it; as also ↓ حَجٍ, (S, M, K, TA,) of which the pl. is حَجُونَ; (TA;) and ↓ حَجًى, (S, M, K, TA,) which last has no fem. nor dual nor pl. form, (S, M,) retaining the same form as fem. and dual and pl.: (M:) and in like manner you say, أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ذٰلِكَ ↓ إِنَّهُ لَمَحْجَاةٌ Verily he is adapted, &c., to do that; (S, K; *) and إِنَّهَا لَمَحْجَاةٌ; and إِنَّهُمْ لَمَحْجَاةٌ. (S.) b2: حَجِىٌّ is also syn. with حَرِيصٌ [Vehemently desirous, eager, &c.]. (KL.) حُجَيَّا: see حَجْوَى, in five places.

A2: Respecting this word in the phrase حثجْ حُجَيَّاكَ, see حَاجَةٌ (in art. حوج), near the end of the paragraph.

أحْجَى More, and most, adapted, disposed, apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, competent, proper, or worthy: (TA, Ham p. 523:) so in the saying, هُوَ أَحْجَى أَنْ يَكُونَ كَذَا [He is more, or most, adapted, &c., to be thus; or worthy of being thus]: (TA:) and فُلَانٌ أَحْجَى بِكَذَا [Such a one is more, or most, adapted, &c., for such a thing; or worthy of it]. (Ham ubi suprà.) Hence, in a trad., مَعَاشِرُ هَمْدَانَ أَحْجَى حَىٍّ بِالكُوفَةِ [The companies of Hemdán are the most worthy tribe in El-Koofeh]: or, as some say, the meaning is, the most intelligent tribe. (TA.) أُحْجُوَّةٌ: see حَجْوَى.

أُحْجِيَّةٌ: see حَجْوَى, in five places.

حَاوِىٌّ: see حَائِىٌّ, in art. حوأ.

حَيَّةٌ [meaning A serpent] is said by some to be from تَحَوَّى, because what is so termed gathers itself together, and winds, or coils, itself; (ISd, * K, * TA;) and to be originally حَوْيَةٌ; (TA in art. حى;) and their opinion is strengthened by the forms and meaning of the words حَوَّآءٌ and حَاوٍ (TA) [and by the form and meaning of the word مَحْوَاةٌ]: or the حيّة is so called because of the length of its life (لِطُولِ حَيَاتِهَا).

See an ex. voce رُوحٌ.]10 استحياهُ He spared him; let him live; or left him alive; (S, Msb, K, TA;) did not slay him; (Msb;) in which sense the verb has but one form: (Msb, TA:) or he left him; let him alone; or forbore from him. (Mgh.) b2: Hence, as some say, (K,) إِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَسْتَحْيِى أَنْ يَضْرِبَ مَثَلًا, (S, K,) in the Kur [ii. 24], i. e. لَا يَسْتَبْقِى

[meaning Verily God will not spare to propound, or refrain from propounding, a parable, or as a parable]. (S.) [Hence, also,] إِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَسْتَحْيِى مِنْ ذِى الشَّيْبَةِ المُسْلِمِ أَنْ يُعَذِّبَهُ, i. e. [Verily God] forbears from punishing [the hoary Muslim]. (Er-Rághib.) b3: [اِسْتَحْيَى, or اِسْتَحْيَا, which latter is the more proper mode of writing it, also signifies He felt, or had a sense of, or he was, or became, moved or affected with, shame, shyness, or bashfulness; and particularly, but not always, honest shame, or pudency, or modesty; or his soul shrank from foul things; as also اِسْتَحَى; and ↓ حَيِىَ, inf. n. حَيَآءٌ.] استحيى is of the dial. of El-Hijáz; and استحى, with a single ى, is of the dial. of Temeem; (Akh, S, Msb;) the former being the original, (Akh, S,) and that which is used in the Kur: (Msb:) in the latter, the first ى [of the original] is suppressed, [and its vowel is transferred to the ح,] to facilitate the pronunciation, because of the occurrence of the two ى s together: this is the opinion of Sb; and with it agrees that of Aboo-'Othmán [ElMázinee]: the opinion ascribed to Sb in the S, namely, that اِسْتَحَيْتُ is changed from اِسْتَحْيَيْتُ in like manner as اِسْتَبَعْتُ is changed from اِسْتَبٌيَعْتُ, is that of Kh, and is disallowed by El-Mázinee. (IB.) You say, استحيى منه, (S, K, [in the CK, erroneously, عَنْهُ,]) or استحيا منه, (Mgh, Msb,) and استحى منه, and استحياهُ, (S, Msb, K, TA,) and استحاهُ; (TA, [and so in the CK in the place of استحياهُ;]) as also منه ↓ حَيِىَ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. ـْ (S,) inf. n. حَيَآءٌ; (S, * Mgh, Msb, K;) He was ashamed of it or on account of it, or ashamed to do it, or shy of doing it; [generally meaning a foul thing;] he was ashamed for himself, or of himself, or was bashful, or shy, with respect to it, or him; he was abashed at, or shy of, it, or him; (K;) he shrank from it, or him: (Msb, K: *) and استحيى مِنْ كَذَا [or استحيا] He disdained, or scorned, such a thing; abstained from it, or refused to do it, by reason of disdain and pride; he dislike, or hated, it, and his soul was above it; he shunned it, avoided it, or kept himself far from it; syn. أَنِفَ مِنْهُ. (TA.) حَىَّ a verbal noun, (S, M, Mgh, TA,) and therefore immediately followed by عَلَى, (M, TA,) used as an imperative [addressed to a single person, male or female, and to more than one]; (S;) used in calling, or summoning, or inviting, and urging; (Lth, T, TA;) and having no verb derived from it [alone, for حَيْعَلَ is derived from حَىَّ and عَلَى together]; (Lth, T, Msb, TA;) meaning Come: (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K, TA, &c.:) or come quickly: or hasten. (Mgh, TA.) Hence, حَىَّ عَلَى الصَّلَاهٌ (in the أَذَان, TA) Come to prayer: (IKt, S, M, Msb, K:) or come ye to prayer: or come ye quickly: or hasten ye. (TA.) And حَىَّ عَلَى الفَلَاحْ [in the same: see art. فلح]. (Mgh, TA.) And حَىَّ عَلَى الغَدَآءِ [Come to the morning-meal]: and على العَشَآءِ [to the evening-meal]: (Msb:) and على الثَّرِيدِ [to the crumbled bread moistened with broth]: (S:) and على الخَيْرِ [to good, good fortune, prosperity, &c.]. (Lth, T, TA.) The saying of Ibn-Ahmar, حَىَّ الحُمُولَ فَإِنَّ الرَّكْبَ قَدْ ذَهَبَا means Keep thou to the loads [for the riders upon the camels have gone]. (TA.) b2: In the phrase حَىَّ هَلَ, and حَىَّ هَلًا, followed by عَلَى كَذَا and إِلَى كَذَا, and حَىَّ هَلَا, (K,) which last is used in a case of pausation, but is bad in other cases, (S in art. هل,) and حَىَّ هَلْ, and حَيَّهْل, [so in the copies of the K,] with the ه quiescent, (K,) and حىّ هلن [app. حَىَّ هَلَنْ, for حَىَّ هَلًا, or perhaps a mistranscription for حَىَّ هَلَكَ], (TA,) [the most common rendering of حَىَّ هَلَ &c. is like that of حَىَّ alone, namely, Come: or] حىّ signifies hasten thou; and [هل or] هلا, come to it, or reach it; [so that the meaning is hasten thou: come to such a thing:] or حىّ signifies come; and [هل or] هلا, quickly (حَثِيثًا), or be thou quick; [so that the meaning is come quickly to such a thing:] or [هل or]

هلا signifies be thou quiet; and the meaning is أَسْرِعْ عِنْدَ ذِكْرِهِ وَاسْكُنْ حَتَّى يَنْقَضِىَ [Speed thou at the mention thereof, and be quiet until it is finished]. (K.) Accord. to Abu-lKhattáb, the Arabs used to say, حَىَّ هَلَ الصَّلَاةَ, meaning Come thou to prayer. (TA.) And one says, حَىَّ هَلْ بِفُلَانٍ, (IAar, and so in the CK,) and حَىَّ هَلًا بفلان, (IAar, and so in MS. copies of the K,) and حَىَّ هَلَ بفلان, meaning Hasten thou with such a one: (IAar:) or keep thou to such a one, and call him. (K.) It is said in a trad., إِذَا ذُكِرَ الصَّالِحُونَ فِحَىَّ هَلَ بِعُمَرَ, (S in art. هل,) or فَحَيَّهَلًا بِعُمَرَ, (TA,) i. e. [When the good, or righteous, are mentioned, then] keep thou to 'Omar, and call 'Omar, (S ubi suprà, and TA,) and begin with him, and be quick in mentioning him; (TA;) for he is of such. (S ubi suprà.) Accord. to some of the grammarians, (TA,) when you say حَىَّ هَلًا, with tenween, it is as though you said حَثًّا; and without tenween, it is as though you said الحَثَّ; the tenween being made a sign of indeterminateness; and the omission of it, a sign of determinateness: and so it is in all compounds of this kind. (K.) [See also art. هل.]

حَىٌّ Living, having life, alive, or quick; contr. of مَيِّتٌ [or مَيْتٌ]; (S, Mgh, * Msb, * K;) and ↓ حَيَوَانٌ is syn. with حَىٌّ [as meaning having animal life]: (IB:) dim. of the former ↓ حُيَىٌّ: (Msb:) and pl. أحْيَآءٌ. (Msb, K.) When you say of a person, لَيْسَ بِحَىٍّ, you mean that he is dead: (Lh:) but مِنْهَا ↓ ضُرِبَ ضَرْبَةً لَيْسَ بِحَاىٍ, (Lh, K,) [in the CK ضَرَبَ, and] in [some of] the copies of the K, erroneously, بِحَآءٍ, (TA,) means [He was struck a blow] in consequence of which he will not live: (Lh, K: *) like as the saying لَا تَأْكُلْ كَذَا فَإِنَّكَ مَارِضٌ means Thou wilt be sick if thou eat such a thing. (Lh, K.) Accord. to ISh, one says, أَتَانَا حَىُّ فُلَانٍ, meaning Such a one came to us in his life [-time]: and سَمِعْتُ حَىَّ فُلَانٍ يَقُولُ كَذَا, meaning I heard such a one say thus in his life [-time]: (TA:) [or the former may mean Such a one himself came to us: and the latter, I heard such a one himself say thus: for] حى [i. e. حَىّ as a prefixed noun] is sometimes redundant, like آل and ذُو: (Ham p. 308:) [and] IB says that حَىُّ فُلَانٍ means Such a one himself. (TA.) And they say, أَهْلِكَ ↓ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ وَحَيَّةُ, i. e. How art thou, and those remaining alive of thy family? (TA.) b2: Applied to God, Deathless. (Er-Rághib.) b3: Possessing the faculty of growth, as an animal, and as a plant: (Er-Rághib:) and, applied to a plant, fresh, juicy, or succulent, and growing tall. (TA.) b4: [Sensitively alive;] possessing the faculty of sensation. (Er-Rághib.) b5: (assumed tropical:) [Intellectually alive;] possessing the faculty of intellect. (Er-Rághib.) [Hence,] (assumed tropical:) A Muslim; like as مَيِّتٌ means an unbeliever. (TA.) b6: (assumed tropical:) Lively, as meaning free from grief or sorrow. (Er-Rághib.) b7: (assumed tropical:) Whole, sound, or unbroken. (L and TA in art. صأب.) b8: أَرَضٌ حَيَّةٌ (assumed tropical:) Fruitful land; or land abounding with herbage; (K, TA;) like as ارض مَيْتَةٌ means unfruitful land. (TA.) b9: الشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ (assumed tropical:) The sun is, or was, of a clear colour, unaltered by approaching the place of setting; as though its setting were regarded as death: (TA:) or still bright and white: or still hot and powerful: but the former of these two meanings is the more probable. (Mgh.) b10: نَارٌ حَيَّةٌ (assumed tropical:) [A live, or burning, fire. (AHn.) b11: طَرِيقٌ حَىٌّ (assumed tropical:) An apparent, or a distinct, road or way: (K:) pl. أَحْيَآءٌ. (TA.) A2: See also حَيَّةٌ, first sentence.

A3: [A tribe] of the Arabs: (S:) the children, or descendants, of one father or ancestor, whether many or few: and a شَعْب comprising قَبَائِل: (Az, TA:) or a قَبِيلَة of the Arabs: (Msb:) or a بَطْن of the بُطُون of the Arabs: (K, TA:) pl. أَحْيَآءٌ. (S, Msb, K.) A4: The vulva, or external portion of the organs of generation, of a woman. (Az, K. See also حَيَآءٌ, of which حَىٌّ is also said to be a pl.) Hence, سَعَفُ الحَىِّ, applied by an Arab of the desert to The paraphernalia of a bride. (Az, TA.) A5: لَاحَىَّ عَنْهُ means لَامَنْعَ مِنْهُ, (Ks, K, *) i. e. [There is no forbiddance of him; or] nothing is forbidden him. (Fr.) A6: لَا يَعْرِفُ الحَىَّ مِنَ اللَّىِّ He knows not, or will not know, what is true from what is false; (IAar, K, Har p. 236;) and so الحَوَّ من اللَّوِّ: (TA:) or the حَوِيَّة [or winding gut, &c.,] from the twisting of the rope: (K:) or overt speech from covert: or the living from the dead: or the act of turning round, or winding, [see حَوَاهُ, (in art. حوى,) of which حَىٌّ is an inf. n.,] from the act of twisting. (Har ubi suprà.) A7: The act of collecting. (TA. [But in this and some other senses it is an inf. n. of حَوَى: see 1 in art. حوى.]) A8: أَحْيَآءٌ as pl. of حَآءٌ: see art. حوأ.

حِىٌّ: see حَيَاةٌ, of which it is said to be a syn.: and of which it is also said to be a pl.:

A2: and see حَيَآءٌ, of which, also, it is said to be a pl.

حَيَّةٌ [A serpent;] a certain thing well known: (K, TA:) [improperly explained in the Msb as syn. with أَفْعًى:] applied to the male and the female; (S, Msb;) the ة being added to denote one of a kind, as in بَطَّةٌ and دَجَاجَةٌ; [although حَىٌّ is not used as a coll. gen. n.; and] although the saying عَلَى حَيَّةٍ ↓ رَأَيْتُ حَيًّا, as meaning [I saw] a male [serpent] upon a female [serpent], is related as having been heard from the Arabs: (S:) but ↓ حَيُّوتٌ is also applied to the male; (Az, S, K;) the ت being augmentative; for the word is originally حَيُّو [or حَيُّوٌّ]: (Az, TA:) it is said that it does not die unless by an accident: and they say of a long-lived man, مَا هُوَ إِلَّا حَيَّةٌ [He is none other than a serpent]; and in like manner they say of a woman; as though it were called حيّة because of its long life: [for] some, including Sb, say that it is derived from حَيَاةٌ, as the rel. n. is حَيَوِىٌّ, not حَوَوِىٌّ: and to him who objects that one says رَجُلٌ حَوَّآءٌ [meaning “ a man who collects serpents ”], it is replied that حَيَّةٌ and حَوَّآءٌ are of different roots, like لُؤْلُؤٌ and لَأّلٌ, &c.: but it may be from تَحَوَّى, because of its winding, or coiling, itself; and some say that it is originally حَوْيَةٌ; some, that it is originally حَيْوَةٌ: (TA:) [the dim. is ↓ حُيَيَّةٌ:] the pl. is حَيَّاتٌ (K) and حَيْوَاتٌ, (K, TA,) or حَيَوَاتٌ. (So in some copies of the K [agreeably with the dial. of Hudheyl].) Hence the prov. هُوَ أَبْصَرُ مِنْ حَيَّةٍ

[He is more sharp-sighted than a serpent]; because of the sharpness of its sight: and أَظْلَمُ مِنْ حَيَّةٍ [more wrongful in conduct than a serpent]; because it comes to the burrow of the [lizard called] ضَبّ, and eats its young one, and takes up its abode in its burrow. (TA.) and سَقَاهُ اللّٰهُ دَمَ الحَيَّاتِ [May God give him to drink the blood of the serpents]; i. e., (assumed tropical:) destroy him. (TA.) And ↓ لَا تَلِدُ الحَيَّةُ إِلَّا حُيَيَّةً [The serpent does not bring forth anything save a little serpent]: a prov. applied to the cunning and mischievous, or malignant. (TA.) And فُلَانٌ حَيَّةُ الوَادِى, or الأَرْضِ, or البَلَدِ, or الحَمَاطِ, (assumed tropical:) Such a one is cunning and mischievous, or malignant, (IAar, K,) and intelligent, in the utmost degree: (IAar:) [or] فلان حيّة الوادى means (assumed tropical:) such a one is strong in resisting, a defender of his possessions. (TA.) And حَيَّةُ الوَادِى is also an appellation applied to (assumed tropical:) The lion; (K, TA;) because of his cunning, or craftiness. (TA.) One says also, هُمْ حَيَّةُ الأَرْضِ, meaning (assumed tropical:) They are cunning, guileful, malignant, or mischievous, and strong, not neglecting to take blood-revenge: so in a saying of Dhu-l-Isba' El-'Adwánee cited voce عَذِيرٌ. (TA.) And فُلَانٌ حَيَّةٌ ذَكَرٌ (S, TA) (assumed tropical:) Such a one is courageous and strong. (TA.) and رَأْسُهُ رَأْسُ حَيَّةٍ (assumed tropical:) He is clever, or ingenious; acute, or sharp; intelligent. (TA.) And رَأَيْتُ فى كِتَابِهِ حَيَّاتِ وَعَقَارِبَ (assumed tropical:) I saw in his letter slanders, or calumnies, addressed to the ruling power, in order to cause the object thereof to fall into embarrassment from which escape would be difficult. (TA.) b2: الحَيَّةُ is also a name of (assumed tropical:) [The constellation Draco; commonly called التِّنِّينُ;] certain stars [partly] between the فَرْقَدَانِ [or B and y of Ursa Minor] and بَنَاتُ نَعْشٍ [meaning the stars in the tail of Ursa Major]: (K:) so called by way of comparison. (TA.) b3: And حَيَّةٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) A certain mark made with a hot iron upon the neck, and upon the thigh, of a camel, twisting, or winding, like the حَيَّة [properly so called]. (Ibn-Habeeb, TA.) A2: See also حَىٌّ.

حَيًا Rain; (S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ حَيَآءٌ: (K:) or much rain: (Har p. 185:) as being the means of giving life to the earth: (TA:) and (assumed tropical:) plenty; or abundance of herbage, (S, K,) and the means of giving life to the earth and to men; as being caused by the rain; and so ↓ حَيَآءٌ: (TA:) or [simply] herbage; because produced by the rain: and fat, and fatness; because produced by the herbage: (Ham p. 662:) dual. حَيَيَانِ: (S:) and pl. أَحْيَآءٌ. (TA.) حَيَا الرَّبِيعِ means The rain [called ربيع, or of the season thus called,] that gives life to the earth. (TA.) A2: See also the next paragraph.

حَيَآءٌ an inf. n. of حَيِىَ in the first of the senses explained in this art. (K.) b2: [Hence,] syn. with حَيًا, in two senses: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places. b3: Also inf. n. of حَيِىَ as syn. with اِسْتَحْيَى; (S, * Mgh, Msb, K;) i. q. اِسْتِحْيَآءٌ; (S;) Shame; a sense of shame; shyness, or bashfulness; [and particularly, but not always, honest shame, or pudency, or modesty;] syn. حِشْمَةٌ; (K;) a shrinking of the soul from foul conduct, (Bd in ii. 24, and Er-Rághib,) through fear of blame; (Bd ibid.;) a languor that affects the animal faculty, (Bd ibid, and Mgh, *) and turns it back from its actions: (Bd:) and repentance; syn. تَوْبَةٌ. (K.) b4: And hence, as being a thing that should be concealed, and of which one is ashamed to speak plainly, (TA,) The vulva, or external portion of the female organs of generation, (فَرْج, El-Fárábee, Msb, K, or رَحِم, [which here means the same,] S,) of a camel, (El-Fárábee, S, Msb, K,) or an animal having feet like those of the camel, and of a cloven-hoofed animal, and of a beast of prey: (K:) accord. to Az, the دُبُر [here meaning the same as فَرْج] of any of these and of other animals: (Msb:) accord. to IAar, it is of the ewe or she-goat, the cow, and the gazelle: (ISd, TA:) and [sometimes] the فَرْج of a girl, (El-Fárábee, Msb,:) or of a woman: (Zj in his “ Khalk el-Insán: ” [see also حَىٌّ:]) and ↓ حَيًا signifies the same; (K;) but accord. to Az, this is not allowable except in poetry, in a case of necessity: (TA:) pl. أَحْيَآءٌ (Az, IJ, K) and أَحْيِيَةٌ (As, Sb, S, K) and, by contraction, أَحِيَّةٌ, (Sb, IB, TA,) which is said to be preferable, (TA,) and [quasi-pl. n.] ↓ حَىٌّ and ↓ حِىٌّ [which two have been mistaken by Freytag for syns. of تَحِيَّةٌ, immediately following them in the K]. (Sb, K.) حَيَاةٌ, or ↓ حَيٰوة, (as in different copies of the K, in the latter manner in copies of the S,) written with و in the Kur, to show that و follows ى in the pl. [حَيَوَاتٌ, like صَلَوَاتٌ], or because the sound of the ا is inclined towards that of و, (ISd, TA,) and ↓ حَيَوْةٌ, with sukoon to the و, (K,) which is substituted for the ا of حَيَاةٌ, as is done by the people of El-Yemen in the case of every ا that is changed from و, as in صَلَاةٌ and زَكَاةٌ, though the final radical letter of the verb of حَيَاةٌ is ى, (TA,) an inf. n. of حَيِىَ in the first of the senses explained in this art.; (IB, Mgh, Msb;) Life; contr. of مَوْتٌ; (S, K;) as also ↓ حَيَوَانٌ and ↓ حِىٌّ, (K,) or this last is asserted to be a pl. of حَيٰوةٌ, (S,) and as also ↓ مَحْيًا, (S, * Har pp. 25 and 350,) of which the pl. is مَحَاىٍ: (S:) حَيَاةٌ signifies the faculty of growth, as in an animal, and in a plant: and the faculty of sensation: and (assumed tropical:) the faculty of intellect: and (assumed tropical:) freedom from grief or sorrow: and everlasting life in the world to come; to which one attains by that حياة which is intelligence and knowledge: and the حياة that is an attribute of God. (Er-Rághib.) يَا لَيْتَنِى قَدَّمْتُ لِحَيَاتِى, in the Kur [lxxxix. 25], means [O, would that I had prepared, or laid up in store,] for my everlasting state of existence. (Er-Rághib.) And ↓ فَإِنَّ الدَّارَ الآخِرَةَ لَهِىَ الحَيَوَانُ, in the Kur [xxix. 64], means [And verily the last abode is] the abode of everlasting life: (TA:) or الحيوان here means the life that will not be followed by death: or much life; like as مَوَتَانٌ signifies much death: (Msb:) and it is also the name of a certain fountain in Paradise, [the water of] which touches nothing but it lives, by permission of God. (TA.) الحَيٰوةُ الطَّيِّبَةُ, accord. to I'Ab, explaining xvi. 99 of the Kur, (TA,) means Lawful means of subsistence (K, TA) in the present world: (TA:) or Paradise. (K, TA.) b2: Also (assumed tropical:) Advantage, or profit; or a cause, or means, thereof: whence the saying, لَيْسَ لِفُلَانٍ حَيَاةٌ There is not, in such a one, profit, nor good: and so it is said to mean in the Kur [ii. 175], وَلَكُمْ فِى القِصَاصِ حَيٰوةٌ (assumed tropical:) [And there is to you, in retaliation, an advantage]: (TA:) or this means that the knowledge of the law of retaliation restrains from slaughter, and so is a cause of life to two persons; and because they used to slay one who was not the slayer, retaliation upon the slayer is a cause of saving the lives of the rest: or the meaning is life in the world to come; for when the slayer has suffered retaliation in the present world, he is not punished for his act in the world to come. (Bd.) b3: حَيَاةُ الشَّمْسِ means (assumed tropical:) The remaining of the light and whiteness of the sun: or the remaining of its heat and power: but the former of these two meanings is the more probable. (Mgh. [See الشَّمْسُ حَيَّةٌ, voce حَىٌّ.]) حَيٰوةٌ and حَيَوْةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

حَيِىٌّ Having حَيَآء [i. e. shame, shyness, bashfulness, pudency, or modesty]; (K;) part. n. of حَيِىَ as syn. with استحيى; of the measure فَعِيلٌ: (Msb:) fem. حَيِيَّةٌ. (TA.) The saying of I'Ab, اَللّٰهُ حَيِىٌّ, means God is one who acts with others in the manner of him who has حَيَآء; for حَيَآء in its proper sense is not ascribable to Him: (Mgh:) or one who leaves undone evil deeds, and does good deeds. (Er-Rághib.) حُيَىٌّ: see حَىٌّ, of which it is the dim.

حُيَيَّةٌ: see حَيَّةٌ, (of which it is the dim.,) in two places.

A2: And dim. of حَآءٌ, q. v. in art. حوأ. (Lth, TA in باب الالف الليّنة.) حَيَوِىٌّ [Of, or relating to, the serpent;] rel. n. of حَيَّةٌ. (S.) A2: [And rel. n. of حَا: see حَائِىٌّ in art. حوأ.]

حَيَوَانٌ an inf. n. of حَيِىَ, like حَيَاةٌ, (IB,) but having an intensive signification: (Msb:) see حَيَاةٌ, in two places. b2: See also حَىٌّ, first sentence. b3: Also Any thing, or things, possessing animal life, (Msb, K, *) whether rational or irrational; [an animal, and animals;] used alike as sing. and pl., because originally an inf. n.; (Msb;) contr. of مَوَتَانٌ [q. v.]. (S.) [حَيَوَانَاتٌ is used as its pl. of pauc. And hence,] الحَيَوَانَاتُ الخَمْسُ [The five animals] is applied to what may be killed by a person in the state of إِحْرَام, and by one engaged in prayer: (Msb in art. فسق:) these are the rat, or mouse, and the biting dog, and either the serpent, the crow termed أَبْقَع, and the kite, or the serpent, the scorpion, and the kite, or the serpent, the scorpion, and the crow, or the scorpion, the crow, and the kite. (Es-Suyootee, in “ El-Jámi' es-Sagheer,” voce خَمْسٌ.) It is originally حَيَيَانٌ; (Sb, K, TA;) the ى which is the final radical letter being changed into و because the occurrence of two ى together is disliked: (Sb, TA:) Aboo-'Othmán [El-Má- zinee] holds the و to be a radical letter; but his opinion is said to be not admissible, because it is asserted that there is no instance in the language of a word of which the medial radical is ى, and the final و. (TA.) حَيَوَانِىٌّ [Of, or relating to, an animal or animals]. b2: It is [also] particularly applied to A seller of birds. (TA.) حَيَوَانِيَّةٌ Animality; or animal nature.]

حَيُّوتٌ: see حَيَّةٌ.

حَاىٍ, of the measure فَاعِلٌ, [said to be] originally حَايِوٌ, is syn. with حَاوٍ and حَوَّآءٌ, belonging to art. حوى [q. v.]. (Az, TA.) أُحَىُّ and أُحَىٌّ and أُحَىٍّ: see art. حو.

أُحَيْوٍ: see art. حو.

أَحْيَى in the saying أَحْيَى مِنْ ضَبٍّ [More longlived than a ضبّ, a kind of lizard, which is supposed to live seven hundred years,] is from الحَيَاةُ. (TA.) b2: In the sayings أَحْيَى مِنْ هَدِىٍّ [More shy, or bashful, than the bride] and أَحْيَى مِنْ مُخَدَّرَةٍ [More shy, or bashful, than a girl kept behind the curtain] it is from الحَيَآءُ. (TA.) تِحْيَاةٌ: see the next paragraph.

التَّحَايِى The two stars in the foot and before the foot of the foremost of Gemini: (Kzw:) or three stars over against الهَنْعَة [which is the Sixth Mansion of the Moon]; (IKt, K;) and sometimes the moon deviates from الهنعة, and makes its abode in التحايى: (IKt:) they are between the Milky Way and the stars that follow العَيُّوق [or Capella]: Aboo-Ziyád El-Kilábee used to say that this name means الهنعة, and is also pronounced التَّحَائِى, withء: but AHn says that the moon makes its abode in these stars, and not in الهنعة itself: (TA:) its sing. is ↓ تِحْيَاةٌ; (IKt, AHn, TA;) if so, of the measure تِفْعَلَةٌ, like تِحْلَبَةٌ, not فِعْلَاةٌ, like عِزْهَاةٌ, because there is no such root as تَحى; derived from الحَيَا, because its نَوْء [here meaning its auroral setting, in midwinter,] is attended with much rain: but التحائى, with ء, is irreg.; as though pl. of ↓ تَحِيَّةٌ likened to a word of the measure فَعِيلَةٌ. (IB.) تَحِيَّةٌ inf. n. of 2. (Mgh, Msb, K.) b2: Also A salutation, or greeting, (A'Obeyd, AHeyth, Mgh, Msb,) pronounced by one person to another on their meeting; (AHeyth;) particularly the saying سَلَامٌ عَلَيْكَ; (Mgh, * Msb;) and the like; (Mgh;) the most comprehensive form thereof, used by the believer [to his fellow-believer], being the saying السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ وَرَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ: (AHeyth:) hence it is pluralized; the pl. being تَحِيَّاتٌ and تَحَايَا. (Mgh.) b3: Also Continuance, or endurance; or endless, or everlasting, existence: (IAar, Msb, K, &c.:) and so it is said to mean in the following verse of Zuheyr Ibn-Jenáb ElKelbee; who was a [kind of] king among his people: قَدْ نِلْتُهُ إِلَّا التَّحِيَّهْ وَلَكُلُّ مَا نَالَ الفَتَى

[And indeed everything that the young man has attained, I have attained it, except endless existence]: or, as some say, it here means security from death and from evils. (TA. [But more probably the meaning is that next following: for in the Mz, 49th نوع, where this verse is cited, but with مِنْ كُلِّ in the place of وَلَكُلُّ, he is said to have been (not a king, but,) “ a nobleman. ” See also, respecting him, p. x. of my Preface.]) and (tropical:) Dominion, or kingship: (Fr, AA, S, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.:) because the people of the Time of Ignorance used to greet kings [or rather those of Himyer] by the saying أَبَيْتَ الَّعْنَ, which they addressed to none other than a king; so that when any one of them became a king, it was said of him, فُلَانٌ نَالَ التَّحِيَّةَ [meaning (tropical:) Such a one has attained the kingship]. (Mgh: in which, and in the S, the foregoing verse is cited as an ex. of this last meaning.) التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلّٰهِ means Endless existence belongs to God: (Lth, Msb, TA:) or dominion, or kingship: (Lth, Yaakoob, S, Msb, TA:) or freedom, or security, from all evils, (Khálid Ibn-Yezeed, AHeyth,) and from all causes of the cessation of existence: (AHeyth:) or endless existence, and security from evils, and dominion, and the like: (Fr:) or the expressions [of praise] that indicate and imply the ascription of dominion and endless existence: (KT:) or salutations and benedictions are Gods, and at his disposal. (Mgh.) [التَّحِيَّاتُ is also a term applied to the following form of words repeated in the ordinary prayers: التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلّٰهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ يَاأَيُّهَا النَّبِىُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللّٰهِ الصَّالِحِينَ

أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَاهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ, or (instead of عبده ورسوله) رَسُولُ اللّٰهِ: see 5 in art. شهد.] b4: The assigning to this word, as used in the Kur iv. 88, the meaning of A gift is a mistake. (Mgh.) A2: See also التَّحَايِى.

مَحْيًا: see حَيَاةٌ. b2: Also A time, and a place, of life. (TA.) مُحْىٍ and مُحْيِيَةٌ, applied to a she-camel, Having living offspring; whose offspring seldom, or never, die. (S.) مُحَيًّا The face (S, K, Ham p. 23) of a man, because it is specified in salutation; [see 2;] (Ham ubi suprá;) a term used only in praise; (Ham p. 640;) i. e. the face altogether: or the حُرّ of the face [i. e. the ball of the cheek; or what appears of the elevated part thereof; or what fronts one, of the face, &c.]. (K.) b2: Of a horse, it is The place where the flesh is separated (حيث انفرق اللحم) beneath the forelock. (Ham p. 23.) And دَائِرَةُ المُحَيَّا, in a horse, [The feather in] the place of separation [of the hair] beneath the forelock, in the upper part of the forehead. (TA.) محَيِّىٌ act. part. n. of 2; fem. مُحَيِّيَةٌ: (S, TA:) for in every noun in which three ىs occur together, [the last of them being the final radical, and ending the word,] if it is not formed from a verb, the final radical letter is elided from it, as in عُطَىٌّ the dim. of عَطَآءٌ, and in أُحَىُّ the dim. of أَحْوَى: but if it is formed from a verb, that letter remains, as in مُحَيِّىٌ from حَيَّى. (S.) أَرْضٌ مَحْيَاةٌ i. q. مَحْوَاةٌ, i. e. A land containing serpents: (Ibn-Es-Sarráj, S:) or abounding with serpents. (TA in art. حوى.) أَبُو يَحْيَى Death. (TA, Har p. 218.)
