حى: ر حى ند حيو

حَيِىٌّ حي حيى حيي حييي Having حَيَاآء [i. e. shame, shyness, bashfulness, pudency, or modesty ]; (K;) part. n. of حَيِىَ as syn. with استحيى; of the measure فَعِيلٌ: (Msb:) fem. حَيِيَّةٌ. (TA.) The saying of I'Ab, اَللّٰهُ حَيِىٌّ, means God is one who acts with others in the manner of him who has حَيَاآء; for حَيَاآء in its proper sense is not ascribable to Him: (Mgh:) or one who leaves undone evil deeds, and does good deeds.
