2 حَنَّ3َ [حنّنهُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ, accord. to modern usage, and perhaps classical also, He, or it, caused him to be merciful, compassionate, pitiful, or favourably inclined, towards another. ] -A2- حَمَلَ فَحَنَّنَ He charged, or made an assault or attack, and was cowardly, and retreated. (K, TA.) ― -b2- مَا حَنَّنَ عَنِّى He did not turn away from me; did not leave, or relinquish, me. (TA.) [And ↓ احنّ, or ↓ حَنَّ, seems to have a similar meaning: for] you say, أَثَرٌ لَا يُحِنُّ عَنِ الجِلْدِ A mark that does not go away from the skin: or, accord. to Th, who does not explain it, it is يَحِنُّ. (TA.) -A3- حَنَّنَتِ الشَّجَرَةُ The tree blossomed, or flowered: (K:) and in like manner one says of a herb. (TA.)
