هزج

[ هَزَجٌ ذ (tropical:) The twanging of a bow, on the archer's loosing the string after drawing it; and of a lutestring: in the TA, i. q. رَنّةٌ: pl. أَهْزَاجٌ and pl. pl. أَهَازِيجُ: or perhaps this latter is a pl. of which the sing. is ↓ أُهْزُوجَةٌ, like as أَرَاجِيزُ is pl. of أُرْجُوزَةٌ: and the twanging of a bow-string or lute-string may be likened to an ode or a song of the metre termed الهَزَج, which is perhaps, judging from analogy, the proper signification of اهزوجة.] لِلْعُودِ وَالقَوْسِ أَهَازِيجُ (tropical:) [ To the lute and the bow there are twangings ]. (A.) El-Kumeyt says, [speaking of a bow,] لَمْ يَعِبْ رَبُّهَا وَلَا النَّاسُ مِنْهَا غَيْرَ اـِنْذَارِهَا عَلَيْهِ الحَمِيرَا بِأَهَازِيجَ مِنْ أَغَانِيِّهَا الجُشِ وَاـِتْبَاعِهَا النَّحِيبَ الزَّفِيرَا [ Neither its owner nor the people imputed a fault to any of its properties, except its warning the (wild) asses of his presence by the twangings of its harsh singings, and its causing a groaning sound to follow the loud, or prolonged, wailing ]. (S.) ― -b2- هَزَجٌ One of the modes of singing (الأَغَانِىّ), in which is a trilling, or quavering: (S, K:) pl. أَهْزَاجٌ. (L.) [But see 1.] ― -b3- A voice that excites lively emotions of joy or grief. (K.) ― -b4- A fine, or delicate, and elevated, voice. (TA.) ― -b5- A voice in which is hoarseness, or harshness. (K.) ― -b6- Any speech of which the component parts are closely consecutive, or near together, (K,) uttered in a light, or quick, manner: pl. as above. (L.) ― -b7- الهَزَجٌ The name of a certain kind of metre of verse; (S, K;) consisting of four feet, each of the measure مَفَاعِيلُنْ: originally of six feet, like the رَجَز and the رَمَل, in each of which, [as in the هَزَج,] each foot consists of one element of the kind termed وَتِدٌ مَجْمُوعٌ, and of two elements of the kind termed سَبَبٌ خَفِيفٌ: so called because of the mutual nearness of its component parts. (TA.) ― -b8- هَزَجٌ Lightness, or agility. (TA.) ― -b9- Quickness in the falling, and putting down, of the legs [ upon the ground ]. (TA.) ― -b10- (tropical:) The sound of thunder.
