هُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّى لَحًّا [He is my cousin on the father's side,] closely related: (S, K:) from the phrase لَحِحَتْ عَيْنُهُ. (S.) Here لحّا is put in the acc. case as a denotative of state, because what precedes it is determinate. (S.)

You say the same in the case of the fem. and dual and pl.; (S;) making no difference between the sing. and dual and pl. and fem. (L.) Lh says, that one says, [of two persons who are cousins, one to the other,] هُمَا ابْنَا عَمٍّ لَحٍّ, and لَحًّا; and in like manner هما ابنا خَالَةٍ; but not هما ابنا خَالٍ لَحًّا, nor ابنا عَمَّةٍ لَحًّا. (L.) When the ابن عمّ is not in the state termed لَحّ, but is of the عَشِيرَة, you say هُوَ ابْنُ عَمِّ الكَلَالَةِ, and ابنُ عَمٍّ كَلَالَةٌ. (S, K.) [See also دِنْيًا; and the contr., ظْهرًا.]
