فنى

3 فاناهُ ذ , (T, S, M, K,) inf. n. مُفَانَاةٌ, (T, TA,) He (a man, S, M) soothed, or coaxed, him: (AA, T, S, M, K:) and, (M,) accord. to El-Umawee, (T, S,) he stilled, or quieted, him. (T, S, M.) El-Kumeyt says, (S, M,) mentioning anxieties, (M,) تُقِيمُهُ تَارَةً وَتُقْعِدُهُ كَمَ يُفَانِى الشَّمُوسَ قَائِدُهَا [ They rouse him at one time, and at another time they render him sedate like as her leader soothes, or coaxes, or like as he stills, or quiets, the refractory mare]. (S, M: in the T, accord. to the TT, the verse ends with رَائِدُهَا [her pastor], instead of قَائِدُهَا.) Accord. to IAar, فاناهُ signifies واِجاهُ [app. a mistranscription for وَاخَاهُ, originally اآخَاهُ, He fraternized with him; or acted with him in a brotherly manner ]. (TA.) [Hence the phrase] أُفَانِى الأَيَّامَ i. e. أُزَجِّى الزَّمَانَ [meaning I make the time to pass away easily; as though beguiling it]. (Har p. 607.) ― -b2- And one says, بَنُو فُلَانٍ مَا يُعَانُونَ مَالَهُمْ وَلَا يُفَانُونَهُ i. e. The sons of such a one do not tend, or take care of, their cattle, or camels, or [ other ] property, and do not manage the same well. (T.)
