(JK, T, TA.) And ↓ خناية [written without any syll. signs, app. خَنَايَةٌ, like فَحَاشَةٌ,] is of the measure فعالة from خَنًا [and seems to be syn. therewith as an inf. n. or as a subst.]: it occurs in the saying of El-Katámee, دَعُوا التَّمْرَ لَا تُثْنُوا عَلَيْهَا خنايةً فَقَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ فِى جُلِّ مَا بَيْنَنَا التَّمْرُ [ Leave ye dates: speak not of them in a foul manner, or speak not of them foul speech; for dates have benefited in most of what has occurred between us, or among us ]. (TA.) ― -b2- خَنَا الدَّهْرِ The calamities of time or fortune. (JK, K.)
