(L.) [Hence,] خَفِيفُ الحَاذ ‡ A man light of back; (S, A, L, Msb;) as also خَفِيفُ الحَالِ; (A;) meaning having little property: and also having a small family to maintain: (L:) or having little property and a small family to maintain: (L, K:) like خَفِيفُ الظَّهْرِ. (A, L, Msb.) and كَيْفَ حَاذُكَ and حَالُكَ † [lit. How is thy back? meaning, thy state, or condition? ]. (Sh, L.) حَاذٌ and حَاذَةٌ both signify † A state, or condition; like حَالٌ and حَالَةٌ, which are the more approved words. (TA.) You say, وَاحِدَةٍ ↓ هُمَا بِحَاذَةٍ † They are both in one state, or condition . (K.) -b1- الحَاذَانِ The parts of the backs of the two thighs (of a camel, A) against which the tail falls, (S,A, * L, K,) on this side and on that: (L:) or the parts of the two thighs of a beast that faces one when he stands behind it: and two portions of flesh in the outer sides of the two thighs of a man &c.; (ISd, L:) or the hinder parts of the two thighs: pl. اآحَاذٌ. (Ham p. 443.) They say, أَنْقَعُ اللَّبَنِ مَاوَلِىَ حَاذَىِ النَّاقَةِ [ The most thirst quenching of milk is that which is next to the hinder parts of the two thighs of the she-camel ]: i. e., when it is fresh-drawn, without her having been previously sucked by a young one. (TA. [But the first word, there, is انفع, which I regard as a mistranscription.])
