اـِيَّانَ أيان اـيان ايان : see أَيَّانَ, in two places.

اآئِنٌ ذ part. n. of اآنَ in both its senses. اآيِنَةٌ: see أَوَانٌ.

2 ايّه بِهَا ايه بها , (S, TA,) and, accord. to some, بِهِمْ (TA,) and بِهِ, (K, * TA,) inf. n. تَأْيِيهٌ, (S, K,) He cried out to, or shouted to, and called, (S, K, TA,) them, namely, camels, (S, TA,) and, accord. to some, horses, and men, (TA,) and him, (K, TA,) namely, a camel: (TA:) or ايّه به signifies he said to him, namely, a man, and a horse, يَا وَيْهَاهْ [ Ho! On! ]: (A 'Obeyd:) and he said to him, namely, a man, يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّجُلُ [ O thou man ]: (K:) or he called him, يا ايّها الرجل: (IAth:) and he cried out to him, or at him; or drove him away with crying or a cry; namely, an object of the chase. (TA.)

[ أَيْهَ ذ would seem to be a dial. var. of وَيْهَ; for it is said that] أَيْهَكَ is syn. with وَيْهَكَ. (K: [but see وَيْهَ.]) -A2- أَيْهًا: see أَيْهَاتَ.

اـِيهْ أي أيه أية اـيه ايه اية آية , with the ه quiescent, is a word used in chiding, or checking; meaning حَسْبُكَ [ Sufficient for thee is such a thing; &c.]. (ISd, K.) ― -b2- اـِيهًا signifies, (S, K,) as also ايهَ, (K,) a command to be silent, (S, K,) and to abstain; (S, TA;) i. e. Be silent; and abstain, or desist: (TA:) both are used in chiding, or checking: and هِيهَ is used in the place of اـِيهَ. (Lth, TA.) You say [also,] اـِيهًا عَنَّا Be silent, and abstain from [ troubling ] us. (S, TA.) And اـِيهَا عَنِّى ا@لْاآنَ Abstain thou from [ Troubling ] me now. (AZ, TA.) ― -b3- اـِيهًا also occurs as meaning I hold that to be true, and approve it. (IAth, TA.) -A2- اـِيهِ, as also اـِيهَ and اـِيهٍ, is a word denoting a desire, or demand, for one to add, or to give, or do, more; (Lth, K;) and a desire for one to speak: (K:) it (i. e. اـِيهِ) is an imperative verbal noun, (S,) indecl., with kesr for its termination: (K:) you say to a man, when you desire, or demand, his telling or saying more of a [certain] story or subject of discourse, or his doing more of a [certain] deed, اـِيهِ, with kesr. to the ه; (S;) [i. e. Tell me, or say, more of this; say on; go on, or proceed, with this; or do more of this; ] and ا@فْعَلْ اـِيهِ [ Go on, or proceed, with this; do it ]; (AZ;) and for اـِيهِ, you say, هِيهِ: (Lth:) but when you make no interruption after it, you pronounce it with tenween, (ISk, S, K,) and say اـِيهٍ, (ISk, S,) which means حَدِّثْنَا [i. e. Tell us, or relate to us, something ]; (Ks, Lh, (ISk, * S; *) and for this one says هِيهٍ, by substitution of one letter for another: (Ks, Lh:) or it means زِدْ [i. e. tell, or say, or do, something more ]; and هَاتِ [i. e. give, or relate, something ]; (Har p. 592;) and تَكَلَّمَ [i. e. speak ]. (Idem p. 419.) In the following saying of Dhu-r-Rummeh, وَقَفْنَا وَ قُلْنَا اـِيهِ عَنْ أُمِّ سَالِمٍ وَ مَا بَالُ تَكْلِيمِ الدِّيَارِ البَلَاقِعِ [ We stopped, and we said, Tell us some tidings: inform us (أَخْبِرِينَا being app. understood) respecting Umm-Sálim: but what is the case (meaning what is the use) of speaking to the vacant dwellings? ], he has used the word without tenween, though making no interruption after it, because he intended a pause. (ISk, S.) Ibn-Es-Seree says, When you say, اـِيهِ يَا رَجُلُ, you only command him to tell you more of the subject of discourse known to you and him, as though you said, هَاتِ الحَدِيثَ [ Give, or relate, the story, or narrative, O man ]: but if you say, اـِيهٍ, with tenween, it is as though you said, هَاتِ حَدِيثًا مَّا [ Give, or relate, some story or narrative ], because the tenween renders indeterminate: and Dhu-rRummeh meant the tenween, but omitted it through necessity. (S.) As says that Dhu-rRummeh has committed a mistake; the expression of the Arabs being only اـِيهٍ [in a case of this kind]: ISd says, the truth is, that it is without tenween when determinate, and with tenween when indeterminate; and that Dhu-r-Rummeh asks the ruins to tell him more of a known story, as though he said, Relate to us the story, or tell us the tidings: (TA:) Aboo-Bekr Ibn-Es-Sarráj says, citing this verse, that ايه is not known in a case of this kind without tenween in any of the dialects; meaning that it is never conjoined with a following word unless it be with tenween. (IB, TA.)

أَيْهَا ذ : see what next follows.

أَيْهَاتَ ذ i. q. هَيْهَاتَ [ Far, or far from being believed or from the truth, is such a thing: or remoteness, or remoteness from being believed or from the truth, is to be attributed to such a thing. ]: as also ↓ أَيْهَانِ, (S, K,) and ↓ أَيْهَانَ, (K, TA, in the CK اَيْهَانُ,) [and several other dial. vars., for which see هَيْهَاتَ,] and ↓ أَيْهَا, (TA; and so in some copies of the S and K; in other copies of these, ↓ أَيْهًا; [but the former is app. the right;]) with the ن [or the ت] suppressed, (TA,) which is said in pronouncing [a thing] to be remote [whether in a proper or a tropical sense]: (S, TA:) Th explains ↓ أَيْهَانِ as meaning بَعِيدٌ ذٰلِكَ AA explains it as meaning بَعُدَ ذٰلِكَ, making it a verbal noun; and this is the correct explanation: (TA:) or the meaning is البُعْدُ, [as I have indicated above,] (K in art. هيه,) but this is only when لِ is prefixed to what follows it, as Sb says. (TA. [See هَيْهَاتَ.])

ضَبٌّ ذ [ A species of lizard; termed lacerta caudiverbera, from its habit of striking with its tail; (see جَرَشَ;) Forskål (Descr. Animalium, p. 13,) terms it lacerta Aegyptia; referring to Hasselquist, p. 302; and adds the following description: “ femora teretia sine verrucis: cauda verticillata non longa: squamæ patentes, subconicæ mucronatæ: corpus nudum, rugosum: ”] a certain reptile, or small creeping thing, (S, TA,) of those termed حَشَرَات, (TA,) well known; (K, TA;) resembling the وَرَل [q. v., but not so long ]: (TA:) or resembling the حِرْذَون [q. v.]; of which there are two species, one of the size of the حرذون, and one larger: (Msb:) accord. to 'Abd-El-Káhir, of the size of a little young crocodile; having a tail like the tail of the latter: it assumes various colours when exposed to the sun, like as does the chameleon; lives seven hundred years; drinks not water, being satisfied with the air; voids one drop of urine in every forty days; its teeth consist of one curved piece; when it has quitted its hole it knows it not; and it lays eggs, like a bird: so say IKh and Dmr and others: AM says, the وَرَل is of a lank make, with a long tail; the latter resembling that of a serpent; and the length of some exceeds two cubits; but the tail of the ضبّ is jointed, and its utmost length is a span: the Arabs deem the ورل a foul and filthy thing, and do not eat it; but they are eager to hunt and eat the ضبّ: this animal has a rough tail, serrated with jags resembling vertebræ; its colour inclines to a blackish dusty hue; and when it becomes fat, its breast becomes yellow; it eats nothing but [ the locusts called ] جَنَادِب, and young locusts before their wings have grown (دَبًا), and herbage, not venomous or noxious reptiles; whereas the ورل eats scorpions and serpents and chameleons and beetles: its flesh is an antidote against poisons, and women grow fat upon it: (L, TA:) it is the longest, of the animals, in retaining the remains of life: (O:) [see also مُطَبِّخٌ:] the fem. is with ة: (S, O, Msb, K:) and the pl. [of pauc.] is أَضُبٌّ and [of mult.] ضِبَابٌ (S, O, Mgh, Msb, K) and ضُبَّانٌ, (K,) which last Lh particularizes as used to denote a great number, but ISd sees no reason for this distinction, (TA,) and [quasipl. n.] ↓ مَضَبَّةٌ, (O, K,) like as مَشْيَخَةٌ is of شَيْخٌ, (O,) this last on the authority of As, as heard by him from more than one of the Arabs. (TA.) Hence one says رَجُلٌ خَبٌّ ضَبٌّ (tropical:) [ A very deceitful or mischievous, and ] an abominable, guileful, ireful man: (TA:) or a very deceitful or mischievous or wicked, and guileful man: (S:) likened to the [lizard called] ضَبّ on account of his guilefulness: and in like manner, اِمْرَأَةٌ خَبَّةٌ ضَبَّةٌ. (A, TA.) And أَخْدَعُ مِنَ الضَّبِّ More guileful than the ضبّ: (A, TA:) a prov. (TA.) And أَعَقُّ مِنْ ضَبٍّ [ More undutiful to kindred than a ضبّ]; because the ضبّ often eats its حُسُول [or young ones when they have just come forth from the eggs]: another prov.: (S:) أَبُو حِسْلٍ is a surname of the ضبّ. (TA.) One says also أَطْوَلُ ذَمَاآءً مِنَ الضَّبِّ, another prov. [expl. in art. ذمى]. (O.) And أَحْيَرُ مِنْ ضَبٍّ, which is likewise a prov. [expl. in art. حير]. (Har p. 166.) And أَتُعْلِمُنِى بِضَبٍّ أَنَا حَرَشْتُهُ, another prov. [expl. in art. حرش]. (TA.) And لَا أَفْعَلُهُ حَتَّى يَحِنَّ الضَّبُّ فِى اـِثْرِ الاـِبِلِ الصَّادِرَةِ [ I will not do it until the ضبّ utters a yearning cry at the heels of the camels returning from water ]: and لَا أَفْعَلُهُ حَتَّى يَرِدَ الضَّبُّ [ I will not do it until the ضبّ comes to water: i. e. I will never do it:] because the ضبّ does not drink water. (S, O.) كَفُّ الضَّبِّ [means The paw of the ضبّ]: to this the Arabs liken the hand of the niggard when he fails to give: (TA:) and it is also applied by way of comparison to (tropical:) a niggard himself: and to denote (tropical:) shortness and littleness. (A, TA.) ― -b2- [Hence also,] (tropical:) Rancour, malevolence, malice, or spite, (S, A, O, Msb, K, TA,) latent in the heart; (A, TA;) like the [lizard called] ضبّ hiding itself in the furthest extremity of its hole: (A:) and anger, wrath, or rage: (K:) or rancour, &c., or vehement rancour, &c., and enmity: (TA:) and ↓ ضِبٌّ signifies the same: (K:) the pl. is ضِبَابٌ, and [app. ضِبَبٌ also, for] the phrase كُلٌّ مِنْهُمَا حَامِلُ ضِبَبٍ لِصَاحِبِهِ [ Each of them a bearer of latent rancours &c. towards his fellow ] occurs in a trad. (TA.) -A2- Also A certain disease in the lip, (S, O, Msb, K,) in consequence of which it flows with blood, (S, O, Msb,) or swells, and becomes hard, or dry and hard, and flows with blood. (TA.) ― -b2- And A tumour in the breast of a camel. (O, K.) ― -b3- And A tumour (S, O, K) in the خُفّ, (so in copies of the K [i. e. foot ], in the TA انف [which is, I doubt not, a mistranscription],) or in the فِرْسِن, [which means the same, or the extremity of the foot, ] (S, O,) of the camel. (S, O, K.) ― -b4- And A disease in the elbow of a camel; (K, TA;) said to be its cutting into his skin [ by rubbing against it ]; or its being distorted, and falling against his side, so as to gall it. (TA.) ― -b5- And A chapping, or cracking, (اِنَفِتَاقٌ,) [ in the crease ] of the armpit [of a child, or of a camel], and abundance of flesh: (S, O, TA:) El- 'Adebbes El-Kinánee gives the same explanation, and says that this is what is also termed ضَاغِطٌ. (TA. [See 5.]) -A3- Also The طَلْع [i. e. the spadix, or the spathe, ] of the palm-tree: pl. ضِبَابٌ: (S, O:) or ↓ ضَبَّةٌ signifies, (K, TA,) and so ضَبٌّ, (TA,) [but the latter seems to be a coll. gen. n., and the former its n. un.,] a طَلْعَة [meaning spathe of a palm-tree ] before it cleaves open (K, TA) from [ around ] the غَرِيض [or spadix ]. (TA.)
