عنو

مُعَنًّى ذ A stallion [camel] of mean origin, which, when excited by lust, is confined in the [ enclosure called ] عُنَّة, because his exercise of the faculty of a stallion is avoided: but it is said that it is originally مُعَنَّنٌ, from العُنَّةُ; one of the ن being changed into ى: (S, TA: *) or of mean origin, of which the legs are bound with a rope, when he is excited by lust, for that reason. (TA.) ― -b2- And A camel of which the people of the Time of Ignorance used to displace the سَنَاسِن [pl. of سِنْسِنٌ, q. v.] of one of his vertebræ, and to wound his hump, in order that he might not be ridden, and that no use might be made of his back: this was done when his owner possessed a hundred camels, he being the camel by which they became a hundred: and this act was termed الأِغْلَاقُ: it may be from عَنَاآءٌ meaning “ fatigue; ” or from the signification of “ confinement from freedom of action. ” (TA.) -A2- See also عُنْوَانٌ.
