4 أَثْنَتْ ذ , or ↓ اِثْتَنَتْ, She brought forth her second offspring. (TA in art. بكر.) ― -b2- See also 1, in two places. ― -b3- اثنى, (inf. n. اـِثْنَاآءٌ, TA,) He shed his tooth called the ثَنِيَّة; (S, Mgh, Msb;) he became what is termed ثُنِىّ; said of a camel [&c.]: (M, K:) he shed his رَوَاضِع [pl. of رَاضِعَة which is the same, in this case, as ثَنِيَّة]; said of a horse [&c.]. (IAar, T.) -A2- اثنى عَلَيْهِ, (T, S, M, Msb, K, &c.,) inf. n. اـِثْنَاآءٌ; (T;) and ↓ ثنّى, inf. n. تَثْنِيَةٌ, accord. to the K, but this is a mistake for ↓ ثبّى, inf. n. تَثْبِيَةٌ; (TA;) He praised, eulogized, commended, or spoke well of, him: and he dispraised, censured, discommended, or spoke ill of, him: (T, * M, Msb, K:) the object is either God or a man: (T:) or it has the former meaning only: (M, K;) or the former meaning is the more common: (Msb:) accord. to IAar, اثنى signifies he spoke, or said, well, or good; and ill, or evil; and انثى, “he defamed,” or “did so in the absence of the object;” and “he disdained, scorned, shunned, disliked, or hated,” a thing: (T:) and you say, اثنى عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا [ He spoke, or said, well, or good, of him ]; (S, and TA from a trad.;) and شَرًّا [ ill, or evil ], also. (TA from the same trad.) One says also, أَثْنَيْتُ فِعْلَهُ [ I praised his deed ]; meaning عَلَى فِعْلِهِ; or because أَثْنَى means مَدَحَ. (Ham p. 696.)
