9 اِحْوَوَى احووى احووي , (As, S, K,) [like اِرْعَوَى, originally اِحْوَوَّ, of the measure اِفْعَلَّ, then اِحْوَوَوَ, and then اِحْوَوَى,] aor. يَحْوَوِى, inf. n. اِحْوِوَاآءٌ, said of a horse, (As, S,) He was, or became, of the colour termed حُوَّةٌ [q. v. infrà]; as also ↓ اِحْوَاوَى, (As, S, K,) [originally اِحْوَاوَّ, of the measure اِفْعَالَّ, then اِحْوَاوَوَ, and then اِحْوَاوَى,] aor. يَحْوَاوِى, inf. n. اِحْوِيوَاآءٌ, (As, S,) or, accord. to ISd, correctly, اِحْوِيَّاآءٌ, because the ى changes the و [after it] into ى, as it does in أَيَّامٌ [which is originally أَيْوَامٌ]; (TA;) and ↓ اِحْوَوَّى, (ISd, K,) [accord. to the pronunciation of the Koofees, as will be seen below, originally اِحْوَوَّوَ,] said by IB to be found thus written in some of the copies of the book of As, [that entitled كِتَابُ الفَرَسِ,] but to be a mistake, because it is agreed that there is not in the language a verb ending with three letters of the same kind except اِبْيَضَضَّ [for اِبْيَضَّ]; (TA;) and ↓ حَوِىَ, (As, S, K,) like رَضِىَ, (K,) [originally حَوِوَ,] aor. يَحْوِى, inf. n. حُوَّةٌ, (As, S,) or حَوًى; (K;) this last verb mentioned by As as used by some of the Arabs. (S.) And الأَرْضُ ↓ اِحْوَاوَتِ The land was, or became, green; as also ↓ اِحْوَوَّت; (K;) [or the latter is correctly اِحْوَوَت:] IJ says that ↓ اِحْوَاوَت is of the measure اِفْعَالَّت, [originally اِحْوَاوَّت, then احْوَاوَوَت. and then اِحْوَاوَت,] and that the Koofees say اِحْوَاوَّت and ↓ اِحْوَوَّت; but ISd says that their usage is wrong, for the Arabs say اِحْوَوَى, like اِرْعَوَى, and do not say اِحْوَوَّ. (TA.)

حُوَّةٌ حوه حوة [ A brown colour; ] redness inclining to blackness: (As, S, K:) or a colour intermixed with [ the blackish red termed ] كُمْتَةٌ, like the rust of iron: (S:) or blackness inclining to greenness. (K.) In the lip, [The brownish colour termed ] سُمْرَةٌ; (S;) [i. e.] a colour resembling [ that termed ] اللَّعَسُ and اللَّمَى: (T, TA:) or a blackness in the lips; which is approved. (Ham p. 386.)

أَحْوَى ذ Of the colour termed حُوَّةٌ [q. v. suprà]: and also black: (K:) or black by reason of [ intense ] خُضْرَة [by which may be here meant either greenness, or dark, or ashy, dust-colour ]: (TA:) applied to a horse, i. q. كُمَيْتٌ [i. e. bay ] overspread with blackness; (TA;) or red in the back; (En-Nadr, TA;) or more yellow than, but nearly the same as, such as is termed أَحَمُّ, so that one swears, of such a horse, that he is أَحَمّ: (AO, TA: [see مُحْلِفٌ:]) applied to a camel, whose خُضْرَة [here meaning dark, or ashy, dust-colour ] is intermixed with blackness and yellowness: (S:) applied to a man, having [ a brownish colour such as is termed ] سُمْرَةٌ in the lip; (S;) or having a blackness in the lips, which is approved; (Ham p. 386;) fem. حَوَّاآءُ, applied to a woman, (S,) and also to a lip (شَفَةٌ) as meaning red inclining to blackness: (K:) applied to a plant, inclining to blackness by reason of its intense greenness; (K;) and such is the softest of plants: (TA:) the pl. is حُوٌّ; occurring in a trad., in which the best of horses are said to be those thus termed: (TA:) the dim. of أَحْوَى is ↓ أُحَيْوٍ, in the dial. of him who says أُسَيْوِدُ [instead of أُسَيِّدُ, dim. of أَسْوَدُ]; but there is a difference of opinion as to the form with idghám: 'Eesà Ibn-'Omar says ↓ أُحَىٌّ, making it perfectly decl., which Sb pronounces a mistake: 'Amr Ibn-El-'Alà, or Aboo-'Amr Ibn-El-'Alà, (accord. to different copies of the S,) says ↓ أُحَىٍّ, after the manner of أُحَيْوٍ, which, also, Sb disallows: Yoo says ↓ أُحَىُّ, and this, says Sb, is the regular and right form. (S.) [Hence,] بَكْرَةٌ حَوَّاآءٌ A sheave of a pulley formed of black wood. (TA.) And نَمْلٌ حُوٌّ Red ants; called نَمْلُ سُلَيْمَانَ. (TA.) فَجَعَلَهُ غُثَاآءً أَحْوَى, in the Kur [lxxxvii. 5], means, accord. to Fr, And hath made it (the herbage mentioned before) dried up, black by reason of oldness: or it may mean and hath made it to become غثاآء [or decayed, or dried-up, leaves and stalks, ] after it has been green. (TA.)

حَاآءٌ حذاآء The name of the letter ح, q. v.; as also حَا: (S and K and TA in باب الالف اللّينة:) it is called حا in a case of pause, and حَاآءٌ when made a noun: and when it is not called a letter, [i. e. when one does not prefix to it the word حَرْف,] it is [properly] fem.: its dim. is حُيَيَّةٌ, meaning a ح written small, or indistinct: (Lth, TA ubi suprà:) and its pl. is أَحْوَاآءٌ and أَحْيَاآءٌ and حَااآتٌ. (TA ubi suprà.)

1 حَابَ حاب , (Msb, K,) sec. pers. حُبْتُ, (S,) aor. يَحُوبُ, (S, Msb,) inf. n. حَوْبٌ (S, Msb, K) and حَوْبَةٌ and حِيَابَةٌ, (S, K, accord. to one copy of the K حِيَابٌ,) and حِيبَةٌ (TA) and حُوبٌ; (K;) or this last is a simple subst.; or, as some say, it and حَوْبٌ are two dial. vars.; that with damm, of the dial. of El-Hijáz; and that with fet-h, of the dial. of Temeem; (Msb;) accord. to Zj, that with damm signifies “ sin, or crime; ” and that with fet-h, the “ act ” of a man; [i. e. the “ act of committing a sin, or crime; ”] (TA;) He sinned; committed a sin, or crime; did what was unlawful; (S, Msb, K;) بِكَذَا [ by such a thing ]. (S, K.) ― -b2- Also, aor. as above, [inf. n. not mentioned,] He, or it, became in an evil condition, or state. (TA.) ― -b3- He slew [another]: of the dial. of the tribe of Asad.

(IJ, TA.) Here the form تَفَعَّلَ is deprived of the radical signification, as in the cases of the syn. words تَأَثَّمَ and تَحَنَّثَ; though its property is oftener to confirm the radical signification. (TA. [See تحنّث.]) You say, تحوّب مِنْ كَذَا He abstained from such a thing as a sin, or crime. (A 'Obeyd, S, TA. [See also another explanation below.]) ― -b2- He humbled himself in his prayer, or supplication. (TA.) ― -b3- He expressed pain, grief, or sorrow; lamented, or complained. (S, K, * TA.) And تحوّب مِنْ كَذَا He was enraged, and expressed pain or grief or sorrow, or lamented, or complained, by reason of such a thing. (TA. [See another explanation above.]) ― -b4- He cried out, expressing pain or grief or sorrow, or lamenting, or complaining: he cried aloud, or vehemently, in prayer, or supplication. (TA.) He wept, in impatience, or sorrow, and with loud crying: and sometimes, in a general sense, he cried out, or aloud, (TA.) ― -b5- He (a jackal) cried, or howled: because his cry is like that of a person expressing pain or grief or sorrow, or lamenting, or complaining, as though he were writhing from the pain of hunger or beating.

El-Mukhabbal Es-Saadee says, ↓ فَلَا تُدْخِلَنَّ الدَّهْرَ قَبْرَكَ حَوْبَةً يَقُومُ بِهَا يَوْمًا عَلَيْكِ حَسِيبُ [ Then introduce not thou, ever, into thy grave, a sin with which a reckoner, or taker of vengeance, may one day rise up against thee ].

And أَلْحَقَ ا@للّٰهُ بِهِ الحَوْبَةَ May God bring upon him want, or poverty, or indigence. (S, * TA.) [And hence,] ↓ اِبْنُ حَوْبٍ A man oppressed by difficulty, trouble, distress, or adversity; a man in need: i. e. any man in such a state. (IAar, TA.) And ↓ عِيَالُ ا@بْنِ حَوْبٍ [ The family of a man oppressed by difficulty, &c.].

حَاجَةٌ حاج حاجه حاجة (S, K, &c.) and ↓ حَائِجَةٌ, (AA, IDrd, &c.,) of which latter the former is a contraction, (Kh in the 'Eyn, TA,) or the latter word is unused [except as an epithet, as will be seen below], and ↓ حَوْجَاآءُ, (S, K, &c.,) are syn. words, of which the meaning is well known: (S, K, TA:) Want; need; necessity, or necessitude; exigency: (TA:) [whence,] اِبْنُ حَاجَةً one who is constantly in want, or need: (Har p. 143:) حَاجَةٌ is a more general term than فَقْرٌ; or each of these terms is more general than the other in some respects, and more particular in others: (TA:) and the former signifies also a thing wanted, needed, or required; an object of want, of need, or of exigence; a want; a needful, or requisite, thing, affair, or business: (A, TA:) [and a thing to be done, an affair, or a business: ] pl. ↓ حَاجٌ, [or rather this is a coll. gen. n., of which حَاجَةٌ is the n. un.,] and حَاجَاتٌ, [which is of more frequent occurrence,] (S, Msb, K,) and حِوَجٌ, [which is of rare occurrence,] (S, K,) and حَوَائِجُ, (S, Msb, K,) which is anomalous, (S, K,) and was disapproved by As, and pronounced by him to be post-classical, but he disapproved it only because of its being anomalous, (S,) and he is said to have retracted his assertion of its being post-classical, (TA,) for it is of frequent occurrence in the [classical] language of the Arabs, (S,) in their verses and in the traditions: (IB, TA:) it seems as though formed from the sing. حَائِجَةٌ, (S, K,) which some assert to have been not used; or, accord. to some, it may be pl. of حَوْجَاآءُ, changed from the regular form of حَوَاجٍ, [originally حَوَاجِىُ,] like صَحَارٍ, by putting the [elided] ى before the ج, agreeably with what is often done in the language of the Arabs. (TA.) You say, قَضَى حَاجَتَهُ [ He accomplished his want ]: (TA:) a phrase which signifies [also] he did his business; meaning he eased nature. (ISk, TA.) And خُذْ حَاجَتَكَ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ [ Take what thou wantest, or requirest, of the food ]. (A.) And فِى نَفْسِى حَاجَةٌ and ↓ حَائِجَةٌ and ↓ حَوْجَاآءُ [ In my mind is a want ]. (AA, TA.) And لِى عِنْدَ فُلَانٍ حَاجَةٌ [ I want a thing of such a one ]. (TA.) [When the thing wanted, or not wanted, is mentioned, or referred to by a pronoun, the subst. denoting it, or the pronoun referring to it, is preceded by اـِلَى, as in the sayings لِى حَاجَةٌ اـِلَى كَذَا I have a want of such a thing, and مَا لِى اـِلَيْهِ حَاجَةٌ I have not any want of it, and مَا حَاجَتُكَ اـِلَيْهِ What is the reason of thy want of it, or thy wanting it? ] You say also, وَلَا لَوْجَاآءُ اـِلَّا قَضَاهَا ↓ مَا بَقِىَ فِى حَوْجَاآءُ There remained not in his bosom a want but he accomplished it. (TA.) [The dim. of حَوْجَاآءُ is ↓ حُوَيْجَاآءُ: whence the saying,] ↓ مَا لِى فِيهِ حَوْجَاآءُ وَلَا لُوَيْجَاآءُ ↓ وَلَا لَوْجَاآءُ وَلَا حُوَيْجَاآءُ I have no want, [ nor any little want, ] with respect to him, or it. (Lh, S, K.) [See also حَوْجَاآءُ, below.] In the phrase حُجْ حُجَيَّاكَ [ Seek the little thing that thou wantest ], it seems that the second and third radical letters of the latter word [originally حُوَيْجَاآءَكَ] have been transposed [and that حُجَيْوَاآءَكَ has been then changed into حُجَيَّاكَ]. (IDrd, AAF, TA.) ― -b2- مَا تَرَكْتُ مِنْ حَاجَةٍ وَلَا دَاجَةٍ I left not any act of disobedience to which I was enticed. (TA from a trad. [But see دَاجَةٌ in art. دوج.])

حَوْجَاآءُ حوجاآء : see حَاجَةٌ, in four places: ― -b2- and see حَائِجَةٌ ― -b3- You say also, وَلَا لَوْجَآءُ مَا فِى صَدْرِى بِهِ حَوْجَآءُ There is not in my bosom any doubt respecting him, or it. (Th, S, K.) And وَلَا لُوَيْجَآءُ وَلَا رُوَيْغَةٌ لَيْسَ فِى ↓ أَمْرِكَ حُوَيْجَاآءُ [ There is not any doubt in, or in respect of, thine affair, or thy case ]. And -b2- وَلَا لَوْجَاآءَ كَلَّمْتُهُ فَمَا رَدَّ عَلَىَّ حَوْجَآءَ, like the phrase بَيْضَاآءُ فَمَا رَدَّ عَلَىَّ سَوْدَآءُ, i. e. I spoke to him, and he returned me not a bad word nor a good one. (ISk, S, K.)

حُوَيْجَاآءُ حويجاآء : see حَاجَةٌ, in two places: ― -b2- and see حَوْجَاآءُ. ― -b3- You say also, خُذْ حُوَيْجَاآءَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ Take thou a different and winding road of the land. (K.)

حَائِجَةٌ ذ : see حَاجَةٌ, in two places. ― -b2- You say also حَاجَةٌ حَائِجَةٌ and ↓ حَاجَةٌ حَوْجَاآءُ A great want; a thing much wanted. (TA.)

مُحْوِجٌ محوج A man in want, needy, indigent, or poor; (Msb, TA;) [as also ↓ مُحْتَاجٌ:] the pl., by rule, should be مُحْوِجُونَ because it is an epithet applied to a rational being; but the pl. used is مَجَاوِيجُ: some, however, reject this, and assert that it has not been heard [as a classical word]: (Msb:) ISd thinks that محاويج is pl. of ↓ مِحْوَاجٌ, if the latter word have been used: (TA:) the vulgar say مَحَاوِجُ [as pl. of مُحْوِجٌ], meaning مُحْتَاجُونَ. (Mgh.)

مُحْتَاجٌ محتاج : see the next preceding paragraph.
