(A, O, K.) The dim. of عَطِشٌ is ↓ عُطَيْشَان, as though from عَطْشَان; and ↓ عُطَيْشٌ also; but the former is the better. (ISk, O.) ― -b2- [Hence,] ↓ عَطْشَان also signifies (tropical:) Longing; or desiring. (K.) You say, اـِنِّى اـِلَيْكَ ↓ لَعَطْشَانُ (tropical:) [ Verily I am longing for seeing thee ].

(Msb,) the pl. is أَعْطَافٌ, [properly a pl. of pane.,] (Msb, TA,) and, as relating to a man, عِطَافٌ also, and عُطُوفٌ. (TA.) Hence the phrase, هُمْ أَلْيَنُ عِطْفًا [ They are more pliant, or pliable; properly as meaning flexible, supple, lithe, or limber; but app. here used tropically, as meaning compliant: compare لَيِّنُ الجَانِبِ]. (Mgh.) And لَيِّنُ الأَعْطَافِ [ Pliant, or pliable, &c.], applied to a horse: (En-Nadr, TA voce غُوْجٌ: [see also عَاجٌ, in art. عوج:]) and ↓ سَهْلُ المَعْطِفِ [and ↓ المَعَاطِفِ and الأَعْطَافِ, which signify the same,] so applied.

(O, K, TA.) ― -b4- One says also, تَنَحَّ عَنْ عِطْفِ الطَّرِيقِ [i. e.

عَطْفَةٌ ذ [as an inf. n. un.] An inclining: hence, in a trad., كَأَنَّ عَطْفَتَهُمْ حِينَ سَمِعُوا صَوْتِى عَطْفَةُ البَقَرِ عَلَى أَوْلَادِهَا [ As though their inclining, when they heard my voice, were the inclining of the cows (app. meaning wild cows) towards their young ones ].
