زن

4 أَزْنَنْتُهُ ذ I thought him to possess good or evil; as also ↓ زَنَنْتُهُ, aor. زَنُ3َ , inf. n. زَنٌّ: or both mean I imputed, or attributed, to him good or evil: (Msb:) or فُلَانًا بِخَيْرٍ ↓ زَنَّ or بِشَرٍّ he thought such a one to possess good or evil; like أَزَنَّهُ; syn. ظَنَّهُ بِهِ: (K:) or, accord. to Lh, one says, أَزْنَنْتُهُ بِمَالٍ and بِخَيْرٍ I thought him to possess [ property and (as appears from what is said below on his authority) wealth ]: but ↓ زَنَنْتُهُ is what the vulgar say, and is wrong. (TA.) And أَزْنَنْتُهُ بِشَىْءٍ, (S,) or بِكَذَا, (K,) and also بكذا ↓ زَنَنْتُهُ, (Har p. 112,) [and accord. to Golius ↓ اِزْتَنَنْتُهُ, mentioned by him as from the S, but not found therein by Freytag, nor by me in either of my copies,] I suspected him of a thing, or of such a thing: (S, K, and Har ubi suprà:) [but] Lh says, لَا يَكُونُ الاـِزْنَانُ فِى الخَيْرِ [app. meaning that أَزَنَّ is not said in relation to that which is good: see what is cited on his authority above]. (TA.) And ازنّهُ بِالأَمْرِ He suspected him of the thing, or affair; like أَظَنَّهُ. (S.) And هُوَ يُزَنُّ بِكَذَا [ He is suspected of such a thing ]. (S.) Hassán says, حَصَانٌ رَزَانٌ مَا تُزَنُّ بِرِيبَةٍ i. e. [ Chaste, staid, ] she is not suspected of evil: [in which تُزَنُّ may be from ↓ زُنَّتْ or from أُزِنَّتْ:] but some restrict themselves to the quadriliteral verb [ازنّ]. (Msb.)
