(TA.) ― -b2- And فَهِهْتُ الشَّىْءَ I forgot the thing. (ISh, K, * TA. [In the K the third pers. is mentioned, as being فَهِهَ; but I think it should be contracted (agreeably with a general rule), as in what here follows.]) And فَهَّ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ, inf. n. فَهٌّ [probably, I think, a mistake for فَهَّةٌ], He forgot the thing.
