طوى

طِيَّةٌ ذ , (S, TA,) from طَوَيْتُ الشَّىْءَ, (S,) is like جِلْسَةٌ (S, TA) and رِكْبَةٌ (S) and مِشْيَةٌ, signifying A mode, or manner, of folding &c.; and a mode, or manner, of being folded &c. (TA.) One says, اـِنَّهُ لَحَسَنُ الطِّيَّةِ [ Verily he is good in respect of the mode, or manner, of folding, &c.]. (K, TA.) And طَوَاهُ طِيَّةً جَيِّدَةً [ He folded it, &c., in a good mode, or manner, of doing so ]. (TA.) And hence the saying of Dhu-rRummeh, كَمَا تُنَشَّرُ بَعْدَ الطِّيَّةِ الكُتُبُ [ Like as the writings, or letters, are unfolded after the folding in a particular manner ]: (S, TA:) he said طِيَّة, with kesr, because he did not mean a single time [of folding]. (TA.) ― -b2- [See also 1, second sentence, where it is mentioned as a simple inf. n., and sometimes pronounced طِيَةٌ, without teshdeed.] ― -b3- Also i. q. نِيَّةٌ; (S, K;) and so ↓ طَوِيَّةٌ; (K;) and [agreeably with this explanation] Kh says that it may mean A place of alighting or abode [ to which one purposes repairing, or betaking himself ], and it may mean an object of aim or purpose or intention [ whatever it be ]: (S:) and in the A it is expl. as meaning the direction towards which countries are traversed: (TA:) one says طِيَّةٌ بَعِيدَةٌ i. e. [ A place of alighting or abode &c.] that is distant, or remote: and بَعُدَتْ عَنَّا طِيَّتُهُ i. e. The place of alighting, or of abode, to which he purposed repairing [ was distant, or remote ]: and مَضَى لِطِيَّتِهِ i. e. [ He went ] to his نِيَّة [meaning either place of alighting &c. or object of aim &c.] that he purposed: (S:) and لَقِيتُهُ بِطِيَّاتِ العِرَاقِ i. e. [ I met him in ] the regions, or quarters, or directions, of El-'Irak: and sometimes it is pronounced طِيَةٌ, without teshdeed. (TA.) ― -b4- Also An object of want or need. (TA.) [Therefore مَضَى لِطِيَّتِهِ may be rendered He went to accomplish his object of want or need. ] ― -b5- اآخِرَ طِيَّةٍ is syn. with اآخِرَ مَخْطَرٍ [expl. voce خَطْرَةٌ, q. v.]. (TA in art. خطر.)
