4 اشوى اللَّحْمَ ذ : see 1. ― -b2- أَشْوَاهُمْ; (S, Msb, K;) and ↓ شَوَّاهُمْ, inf. n. تَشْوِيَةٌ; (K;) He fed them with شِوَاآء [i. e. roasted, or broiled, or fried, flesh-meat ]. (S, Msb, K.) And (both verbs with their complements) He gave them flesh-meat that they might roast, or broil, or fry, thereof. (AZ, K.) -A2- And اشوى (tropical:) He left a portion remaining of his supper: (S, K, TA:) or he left some roasted, or broiled, or fried, flesh-meat of his supper. (A, TA.) ― -b2- And اشوى القَمْحُ The wheat became fit to be rubbed with the hands and to be roasted. (ISd, K.) ― -b3- And اشوى السَّعَفُ (assumed tropical:) The palmbranches became yellow on the occasion of their drying up; (K, TA;) as though a roasting affected them. (TA.) -A3- Also He got, or acquired, the worse, or viler, sort of cattle. (K.) -A4- اشواهُ said of a shooter or caster, He hit (S, * Msb, * K) his شَوَى, (K,) i. e. [ one or more of his ] extremities, (TA,) not a [ vital ] place where a wound would occasion death; (S, Msb, K;) and so ↓ شَوَاهُ, as in the Tekmileh: in the K, erroneously, شوّاهُ. (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence, He missed it, i. e. the object of his aim. See مُشْوًى: and see also Ham p. 91.] ― -b3- [Hence, also, app.,] Hr says that اشوى is allowable in the sense of أَسْقَطَ (assumed tropical:) [ He dropped, left out, omitted, &c., anything]; like أَسْوَى [q. v.]. (TA in art. سوى.) -A5- In the saying مَا أَعْيَاهُ وَأَشْيَاهُ (S, K, [in some copies of the K وَمَا أَشْيَاهُ,]) and so in ما اعياه وَأَشْوَاهُ, (S, * K, * TA,) the latter verb is an imitative sequent to the former [added only for the purpose of corroboration]. (S, K, TA.)
