Lane's Lexicon (Edward Lane, 1863)

حَوْزٌ حوز inf. n. of 1 [q. v.]. ― -b2- فِى حَوْزِهِ: see حَوْزَةٌ. -A2- A place of which a man takes possession, (TA,) and around which a dam (مُسَنَّاةٌ) is made: (K, TA:) pl. أَحْوَازٌ. (TA.) ― -b2- حَوْزُ الدَّارِ: see حَيِّزٌ. -A3- لَيْلَةُ الحَوْزِ The first night during which camels repair towards the water (As, S, K) when it is distant from the pasture: (As, S:) because they are driven gently that night: but when their faces are turned towards the water and they are left to pasture that night, the night is called لَيْلَةُ الطَّلَقِ. (TA.) One says to a man, when he holds back respecting an affair, دَعْنِى مِنْ حَوْزِكَ وَطَلَقِكَ (assumed tropical:) [ Let me alone and cease from this and that discursion of thine ]. (TA.) And one says also, طَوَّلَ عَلَيْنَا فُلَانٌ بِا@لْحَوْزِ وَا@لطَّلَقِ قَبْلَ القَرَبِ (assumed tropical:) [ Such a one was prolix, or tedious, to us with this and that discursion before coming to the point ]. (TA.) ― -b2- حَوْزٌ is also used as an epithet; though properly an inf. n.: you say, سَوْقٌ حَوْزٌ [ A gentle driving: or a vehement driving ]. (TA.)

حَوْزَةٌ حوز حوزه حوزة i. q. حَيِّزٌ, as pointed out in two places below. (S, Msb, &c.) ― -b2- [Hence,] (assumed tropical:) A thing that is in one's possession or occupation; a thing that is one's property: so in the saying of a certain woman, وَأَحْمِى حَوْزَةَ الغَائِبِ (assumed tropical:) And I guard from encroachment the property of the absent: meaning her فَرْج, which was the property of her husband by the marriage-contract: whence it appears that, if this saying be the only ground upon which Az has asserted that one of the significations of حَوْزَةٌ is the فَرْج of a woman, [as is also said in the K,] his assertion requires consideration; for a woman's فرج is her own when she has no husband; and when she is married, it is her husband's property. (L, TA.) You say also, صَارَفِى حَوْزَتِهِ, and ↓ فِى حَوْزِهِ, [and ↓ فى حَيِّزِهِ,] It became in his possession, or occupation. (L, TA.) And فُلَانٌ مَانِعٌ حَوْزَتَهُ (assumed tropical:) Such a one defends, or guards, from encroachment, or invasion, or attack, what is in his حَيِّز [or place; meaning, in his possession or occupation ]. (TA.) In like manner, a poet says, حَمَى حَوْزَاتِهِ فَتُرِكْنَ قَفْرًا He guarded from encroachment his tracts of pasture-land [ so that they were left deserted ]. (Fr, TA.) And it is said in a trad., فَحَمَى حَوْزَةً الاـِسْلَامِ (tropical:) And he defended, or protected, or guarded, from encroachment, or invasion, or attack, the limits, [meaning, what the limits comprised, i. e., the territory, ] and the tracts, or regions, of El-Islám [meaning, of the Muslims ].

(S, K.) ― -b3- (assumed tropical:) Nature; or natural disposition, temper, or other quality or property; (K, TA;) whether good or evil. (TA.)

(KT.) ― -b2- A quarter, tract, region, or place, considered relatively, or as part of a whole; or a part, or portion, of a place; syn. نَاحِيَةٌ; (S, Mgh, Msb;) as also ↓ حَوْزَةٌ: (S, Msb, K:) so the authors on practical law mean by حَيِّزٌ; such, for instance, as a room, or an apartment, of a house: (Mgh:) pl. أَحْيَازٌ, (S, Msb, TA,) which is extr., (TA,) being from the contracted form [حَيْزٌ]: (Msb:) by rule it should be أَحْوَازٌ, (Az, Msb, TA,) like أَمْوَاتٌ, pl. of مَيِّتٌ [and مَيْتٌ]: (Az, TA:) or by rule [if from the uncontracted form حَيِّزٌ] it should be حَيَائِزُ, with hemz, accord. to Sb; or حَيَاوِزُ, with و, accord. to Abu-l-Hasan. (TA.) حَيِّزُ الدَّارِ, (S, Msb, TA,) as also الدّارِ ↓ حَوْزُ, (TA,) signifies What is annexed to the house, (S, TA,) or appertains thereto, (Msb,) of the مَرَافِق (S, Msb, TA) and مَنَافِع (TA) and نَوَاحٍ; (Msb;) [i. e., of the conveniences thereof, such as the privy and the kitchen and the like, and other parts or apartments; ] such are termed collectively أَحْيَازُ الدَّارِ; (Msb;) and each part or apartment (نَاحِيَة), by itself, is termed حَيِّزٌ. (TA.) ― -b3- [Hence the saying,] أَنَا فِى حَيِّزِهِ وَكَنَفِهِ (tropical:) [ I am in his quarter and protection ]. (A, TA.) ― -b4- [And hence also the saying,] فِى حَيِّزِ التَّوَاتِرُ (tropical:) In the manner, and place, of [ that kind of transmission which is termed ] التواتر [which is “ transmission by such a number of persons as cannot be supposed to have agreed to a falsehood: ” as explained in the Mz, 3rd نوع]. (Mgh.) ― -b5- And صَارَ فِى حَيِّزِهِ: see حَوْزَةٌ. ― -b6- [And عَلَى حَيِّزِهِ By himself or itself. ]

3 حاوش البَرْقَ ذ He turned aside from the place of the rain of the lightning, whichever way it turned.

(A.) ― -b3- [And hence,] حَاوَشْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ I excited, incited, urged, or instigated, him to do it. (Ibn-'Abbád, A, * Sgh, K.) [It is indicated in the A that in the ex. immediately preceding this, أُحَاوِشُهُ may also be rendered agreeably with this explanation.]

7 انحاش عَنْهُ ذ He took fright, and fled from him; or was averse from him; and shrank from him; (S, * K;) and was frightened at him; and was moved by him. (TA.) [In the TA it is here added, that this verb is quasi-pass. of الحَوْشُ in the sense of النِّفَارُ; but this seems to indicate that a copyist has written النفار by mistake for الاـِنْفَارُ, which is a syn. of the inf. n. of 1 in a sense explained above: so that انحاش signifies He became scared, or the like.] Hr mentions this verb in art. حيش; but it belongs to the present art. (IAth.) You say, زَجَرَهُ فَمَا ا@نْحَاشَ لِزَجْرِهِ He chid him (meaning a wolf or other animal) but he did not take fright and flee, &c., at his chiding. (TA.)

(Msb.) [Alluding to the collecting of the blood about the uterus previously to menstruation.]

حَاشَ لِلّٰهِ ذ i. q. تَنْزِيهًا لِلّٰهِ. One should not say حَاشَ لَكَ, but حَاشَاكَ, and حَاشَى لَكَ. (S, K.) [See these phrases explained in art. حشى.]

(TA.) You say, لَا زِلْتَ فِى حِيَاطَةِ ا@للّٰهِ Mayest thou not cease to be in the protection of God. (TA.) And مَعَ فُلَانٍ حِيطَةٌ لَكَ There is with such a one compassion and affection for thee: you should not say عَلَيْكَ. (S.)

He guarded thee, or defended thee, in a distant quarter; meaning, (tropical:) he did not guard thee, or defend thee; for he who guards, or defends, his brother, draws near to him, and supports him, or aids him. (A, TA.)

(K, TA.) And حُطْنِى القَصَا (tropical:) Retire thou to a distance from me; (Ibn-Wellád, and K in art. قصو;) as also القَصَاآءَ. (Ibn-Wellád, and TA in that art.) And لَأَحُوطَنَّكَ القَصَا وَلَأَغْزُوَنَّكَ بِالعَصَا, in each case with the short & ا, meaning I will assuredly leave thee, and not go near thee; [ and I will assuredly go against thee to fight thee with the staff. ] (Ks, TA in art. قصو.) حُطْ حُطْ means Take thou care of the tie of kindred, and preserve it. (IAar, K. *) It also signifies Deck thou the boys (الصِّبْيَة [in the CK الصَّبِيَّة the girl ]) with the حَوْط [ for preservation from the evil eye ]. (IAar, K.) And حُوطُوا غُلَامَكُمْ Deck ye your boy with the حَوْط.

[Hence also, حوّط عَلَيْهِ, in the present day, is used to signify (assumed tropical:) He monopolized it. See also 4.] ― -b3- حوّط حَائِطًا, (K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He made a حائط [meaning either a walled garden or a wall; app. a wall of enclosure ]; (K, TA;) as also ↓ احاطهُ.
