(See, again, 4.]) ― -b2- Also [simply] I began, or commenced, the affair: (O, * K:) some of the Benoo-Temeem use the phrase [thus] in the sense of اِئْتَنَفْتُهُ: (Lth, O, TA:) an instance of العَنْعَنَةُ.

And the removing from the sitting-place is a cause of scaring from him sleep ]: making الاِعْتِنَافُ to be the putting himself in motion, and removing from place to place; which is like الاِئْتِنَاف [or the beginning, or commencing, anew].
