You say, أَذَمَّ and اعيا بِهِ بَعِيرُهُ, both meaning the same [i. e.

(S, TA.) And a poet says, (namely, 'Amr Ibn-Hassán, TA) فَاـِنَّ الكُثْرَ أَعْيَانِى قَدِيمًا وَلَمْ أُقْتِرْ لَدُنْ أَنِّى غُلَامُ [ And, or for, abundance of wealth baffled my attempts to obtain it of old; but I have not been poor from the time of my being a boy ]: (S, TA:) he means, I have been in a middling condition; not very poor, nor able to collect much wealth: but some relate the verse otherwise, saying أَعْنَانِى i. e. “ rendered me humble, lowly, or submissive. ” ― -b2- Also He, (TA,) or it, (Msb,) or going or journeying, (MA, K,) fatigued, tired, or wearied, him; (MA, Msb, K, TA;) namely, a man, (Msb,) or a camel.
