زهو
Root entry · 1 derived lemmaأَزْهَى ذ [meaning More, and most, proud, vain, boastful, or self-conceited, is, like مَا أَزْهَاهُ (q. v.), from زَهَا as syn. with زُهِىَ; not from the latter of these two verbs]. You say أَزْهَى مِنْ غُرَابٍ [ More proud, &c., than a crow ]; (S, Meyd;) because the crow, in walking, ceases not to go with a proud, or self-conceited, gait, and to look at itself: and مِنْ وَعِلٍ [ than a mountain-goat ]: and من طَاؤُوسٍ [ than a peacock ]: and دِيكٍ and ذُبَابٍ and ثَوْرٍ and ثَعْلَبٍ [ a cock and a fly and a bull and a fox ]: all these are provs. (Meyd.)
