الأَفَانِى ذ [without the article أَفَانٍ] is the name of A species of plant, (T, S, K,) yellow, and red; (T;) [ said to be so called ] while fresh and succulent; (S;) accord. to AA, (T,) when it has dried up, it is called الحَمَاطُ; (S, T;) but this is a mistake; for الافانى signifies a particular species of plant by itself, of the herbs, or leguminous plants, termed ذُكُور, which dries up, and becomes scattered; whereas the حماط is the حَلبة [a mistranscription for حَلَمَة], and this does not dry up, because it is of the [kind called] جَنْبَة and عُرْوَة (T:) the n. un. is أَفَانِيَةٌ, (T, S.) like ثَمَانِيَةٌ [in measure]. (S.) And it is said to signify also [ The plant called ] عِنَبُ الثَّعْلَبِ. (S. [See also الفَنَى, above.])

Lacking power or ability; (S, K;) as also ↓ فَهِهٌ, (CK, but omitted in other copies of the K,) and ↓ فَهِيهٌ, (S, * K,) and ↓ فَهْفَهٌ, (K,) which last is mentioned by IDrd as signifying dull of tongue, lacking power. or ability, to accomplish the object of his want: (TA:) and فهَّة is applied, in the sense first mentioned, to a woman (S;) or as meaning lacking power, or ability, to accomplish the object of her want.
