انف

أَنِفٌ ذ A camel having a complaint of, or suffering pain in, his nose, from the بُرَة [or nose-ring ]: (ISk, S, M, K:) or wounded by the nose-rein, whether it be with a خِشَاش or بُرَة (A 'Obeyd, T, M) or خِزَامَة [all of which are different kinds of nose-rings]. (A' Obeyd, T.) And consequently, Submissive, and tractable: (S, TA:) or submissive and obedient, that dislikes chiding and beating, and goes as he is able to do spontaneously and easily: (Aboo-Sa'eed, TA:) and ↓ اآنِفٌ signifies the same; (A 'Obeyd, M, K;) but the former is the more correct and the more chaste: (Sgh, K:) by rule, it should be مَأْنُوفٌ, like مَصْدُورٌ, (T, S, M,) and مَبْطُونٌ. (T, S.) To such a camel, the believer is likened in a trad.; (T, S, M;) because he ceases not to complain, or suffer pain; (M;) or because he does not require to be chidden nor to be punished, but endures and performs what is incumbent on him. (Aboo-Sa'eed, TA.) ― -b2- Disdaining, or disdainful; scorning, or scornful; i. q. حَمِىُّ الأَنْفِ: and ↓ أَنْفَانُ [signifies the same;] i. q. سَمِىُّ الأَنْفِ. (T, K.) -A2- See also اآنِفٌ.
