1 سَاجَ نَسِيجَهُ بِالمِسْوَجَةِ ذ , said of a weaver, He passed the مِسْوَجَة, i. e. the sprinkling instrument, to and fro over his web [ to dress the warps with the preparation termed سَوْج]. (A, TA. *) ― -b2- [Hence, app., unless the reverse be the case, the inf. n.] سَوَجَانٌ signifies The act of going and coming: (AA, O, K, TA:) asserted by some to be سَوْجَانٌ, [and thus it is in the CK,] but this is a mistake. (TA.) You say, سَاجَ, aor. يَسُوجُ, inf. n. سَوْجٌ [and سَوَجَانٌ], He, or it, went and came. (TA.) ― -b3- And ساج, (IAar, O, K,) aor. as above, (IAar, O,) inf. n. سَوْجٌ and سُوَاجٌ and سَوَجَانٌ, He went along gently, softly, or in a leisurely manner. (IAar, O, K.) IAar cites the following [as an ex. of an epithet hence derived]: الجِلْبِحِ ↓ غَرَّاآءَ لَيْسَتْ بِالسَّؤُوجِ [A female fair in face: she is not the ugly old woman that goes along gently, or softly, by reason of decrepitude]. (O.)
