Lane's Lexicon (Edward Lane, 1863)

زُهَاآءٌ ذ Number, or amount. (JK, Msb.) You say, كَمْ زُهَاؤُهُمْ How many is their number? or how much is their amount? (Msb, TA:) or, the computation of them? (TA.) And هُمْ زُهَاآءُ مِائَةٍ [ They are as many as a hundred; ] they are the number, or amount, of a hundred; (El-Fárábee, S, Mgh, Msb, K; *) or their number, or amount, is a hundred: (Mgh:) and مِائَةٍ ↓ زِهَاآءُ, also, with kesr: (El-Fárábee, Msb:) but the saying of the [common] people هُمْ زُهَاآء عَلَى مِائَة is not [correct] Arabic. (Msb.) ― -b2- Also A large number: whence in a trad. respecting the time of the resurrection, اـِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ بِنَاسٍ مِنْ قِبَلِ المَشْرِقِ أُولِى زُهَاآءٍ i. e. [ When ye hear of men coming from the direction of the east, ] having a large number. (TA.) ― -b3- And زُهَاآءُ الشَّىْءِ signifies The شَخْص [i. e. corporeal form or figure or substance, which one sees from a distance, ] of the thing. (TA.)

زِهَاآءُ مِائَةٍ ذ : see the next preceding paragraph.

زُهُوٌّ ذ : see زَهْوٌ, in two places. ― -b2- Also The redness of colour, and beauty, of garments or cloths. (JK.)

زَاهٍ ذ [act. part. n. of زَهَا]. ― -b2- اـِبِلٌ زَاهِيَةٌ Camels that will not pasture upon the [ plants, or trees, termed ] حَمْضِ: (ISk, S:) pl. زَوَاهٍ. (TA.) ― -b3- زَاهِى اللَّوْن Bright in respect of colour. (TA.) ثِيَابٌ زَاهِيَةٌ: see زَهْوٌ, last sentence.

أَزْهَى ذ [meaning More, and most, proud, vain, boastful, or self-conceited, is, like مَا أَزْهَاهُ (q. v.), from زَهَا as syn. with زُهِىَ; not from the latter of these two verbs]. You say أَزْهَى مِنْ غُرَابٍ [ More proud, &c., than a crow ]; (S, Meyd;) because the crow, in walking, ceases not to go with a proud, or self-conceited, gait, and to look at itself: and مِنْ وَعِلٍ [ than a mountain-goat ]: and من طَاؤُوسٍ [ than a peacock ]: and دِيكٍ and ذُبَابٍ and ثَوْرٍ and ثَعْلَبٍ [ a cock and a fly and a bull and a fox ]: all these are provs. (Meyd.)

اـِنْزَهْوٌ ذ , in which each of the first two letters is augmentative, and which is said to be the only word of its kind except اـِنْقَحْلٌ from قَحَلَ, (MF, TA,) applied to a man, Proud, haughty, or insolent; (Lh, K;) as also ↓ مُزْدَهًى [which more properly means incited, or excited, to lightness, levity, or unsteadiness ]; (Har p. 264:) pl. of the former اـِنْزَهْوُونَ. (Lh, TA.) [See also what next follows.]

مَزْهُوٌّ ذ , from زُهِى, applied to a man, Proud, haughty, or insolent; (S, TA;) [ vain, and boast- ful; ] pleased with himself, or self-conceited. (TA.) [See also what next precedes.]

مُزْدَهًى ذ : see اـِنْزَهْوٌ, above.

1 زُىَّ عَلَيْنَا ذ , or زِىَّ, (accord. to different copies of the S, in the TA زُىَّ,) [from زَوٌّ, originally زُوِوَ, then زُوِىَ, and then زُىَّ or زِىَّ,] or it is زُوِىَ, (thus in some copies of the S,) It was decreed against us. (S.)

4 أَزْوَى ذ , (K,) said of a man, (TA,) [from زَوٌّ,] He came having with him another: (K, and T in art. تو:) mentioned by Az and Sgh on the authority of IAar: (TA:) opposed to أَتْوَى meaning “ he came alone; by himself. ” (T in art. تو.)

زَوٌّ ذ A pair, or couple; two coupled together; (S, K, TA;) [of men, and] of ships and other things; (TA;) i. q. زَوْجٌ: (K, and T in art. تو:) opposed to تَوٌّ meaning “ one, and no more. ” (K, and TA in this art. and in art. تو.) You say, جَاآءَ فُلَانٌ زَوًّا, meaning Such one came with his companion. (S.) [See also art. تو.] -A2- الزَّوُّ is also the name of A ship constructed by ElMutawekkil, (K, TA,) the 'Abbásee; in which he associated in drinking with the poet El-Boh- turee. (TA.) Accord. to the S, it is the name of a mountain in El-'Irák: but Aboo-Zekereeyà EtTebreezee, and after him the author of the K, deny this, and suppose J to have been led into error in asserting such to be the case by the following saying of the poet above mentioned: وَلَا جَبَلًا كَالزَّوِّ يُوقَفُ تَارَةً وَيَنْقَادُ اـِمَّا قُدْتَهُ بِزِمَامِ [ Nor have I seen a mountain like الزَّوّ, that is made stationary at one time, and becomes led on at another time if thou draw it along with a leading-rope ]: J, however, does not say that he took this from the poetry of El-Bohturee. (TA. [In the CK, in the verse above cited, اِذْ ما is put in the place of اـِمَّا.]) -A3- [J also says that,] accord. to As, زَوُّ المَنِيَّةِ signifies What happens of decreed perdition or death: and زَوٌّ is also said to signify a decree [of God]: (S, TA:) and in the M it is said that زَوٌّ signifies perdition, or death: and زَوُّ المَنِيَّةِ, the accidents, or calamities, of destiny or death: but accord. to the T, As said زَوْءُ المَنِيَّةِ, withء (TA.)

2 زوّج شَيْئًا بِشَىْءٍ ذ , and زوّجهُ اـِلَيْهِ, [inf. n. تَزْوِيجٌ,] He coupled, or paired, a thing with a thing; united it to it as its fellow, or like. (TA.) So in the Kur [xliv. 54 and lii. 20], زَوَّجْنَاهُمْ بِحُورٍ عِينٍ We will couple them, or pair them, [ with females having eyes like those of gazelles: ] (S, Mgh, K, TA:) the meaning is not the تَزْوِيج commonly known, [i. e. marriage,] for there will be no [such] تزويج in Paradise. (MF, TA.) And so in the Kur [lxxxi. 7], وَاـِذَا النُّفُوسُ زُوِّجَتْ And when the souls shall be coupled, or paired, or united with their fellows: (TA:) i. e., with their bodies: (Bd, Jel:) or, each with its register: (Bd:) or with its works: (Bd, TA:) or the souls of the believers with the حُور, and those of the unbelievers with the devils: (Bd:) or when each sect, or party, shall be united with those whom it has followed. (TA.) And so in the phrase, زَوَّجْتُ اـِبِلِى I coupled, or paired, my camels, one with another: (A:) or زَوَّجْتُ بَيْنَ الاـِبِلِ I coupled, or paired, every one of the camels with another. (TA.) So too in the Kur [xlii. 49], أَوْ يُزَوِّجُهُمْ ذُكْرَانًا وَاـِنَاثًا Or He maketh them couples, or pairs, males and females: or, accord. to AM, maketh them of different sorts [or sexes ], males and females: for ― -b2- تَزْوِيجٌ signifies [also] The making to be of different sorts or species [&c.]. (TA.) ― -b3- زَوَّجْتُهُ ا@مْرَأَةً, (T, S, A, * Mgh, Msb, K,) thus the Arabs say accord. to Yoo (S, Mgh) and ISK, (Mgh,) making the verb doubly trans. by itself, [without a particle,] meaning I married him, or gave him in marriage, to a woman; (Msb, TA;) as also بِا@مْرَأَةٍ; (A, K;) Akh says that this is allowable [app. as being of the dial. of Azd-Shanooäh (see 5)]: (Msb, TA:) [when the verb is trans. by means of بِ, it generally has the meaning expl. in the first sentence of this art.:] زَوَّجْتُ مِنْهُ ا@مْرَأَةً is not of the language of the Arabs: (T, Mgh, TA:) [but see a similar phrase in a verse cited in art. حصن, conj. 4:] the lawyers say, زَوَّجْتُهُ مِنْهَا [meaning I married him to her ]; but this is a phrase for which there is no reasonable way of accounting, unless that it is accord. to the opinion of those who hold that مِنْ may be redundant in an affirmative proposition, or that of those who hold that it may be substituted for بِ. (Msb.)

3 زاوجهُ ذ , [inf. n. مُزَاوَجَةٌ and زِوَاجٌ] It, or he, was, or became, a couple, or pair, with it, or him: or made a coupling, or pairing, with it, or him. (MA.) [And زَاوَجَا They two formed together a couple, or pair. ] ― -b2- [And زاوجا, inf. n. as above, They married each other. ] You say, هُذَيْلٌ يُزَاوِجُ عِكْرِمَةَ [The tribe of Hudheyl intermarry with that of 'Ikrimeh ]. (A. [See also 6.]) ― -b3- زاوج بَيْنَهُمَا and ↓ ازوج (tropical:) [ He made them two (referring to sentences or phrases) to have a mutual resemblance in their prose-rhymes, or in measure: or to be connected, each with the other; or dependent, each on the other ]. (A, TA.) See also 8, in three places.

4 أَزْوَجَ see the next preceding paragraph.

5 تَزَوَّجْتُ ا@مْرَأَةً ذ , (T, S, A, * Mgh, Msb, K,) thus the Arabs say accord. to Yoo (S, Mgh) and ISK, (Mgh,) meaning I married a woman; i. e., took a woman in marriage; took her as my wife; (Msb, TA;) as also بِا@مْرَأَةٍ; (A, * K;) or this is rare; (K;) Akh says that it is allowable; (Msb, TA;) and it is said to be of the dial. of AzdShanooäh, (S, Mgh, Msb, TA,) by Fr; (S, TA;) but accord. to Yoo (S, Mgh) and ISK, (Mgh,) it is not of the language of the Arabs. (T, S, Mgh.) And تزوّج فِى بَنِى فُلَانٍ (A, Msb, TA) He married, or took a wife, among the sons of such a one. (Msb, TA.) And تزوّج اـِلَيْهِ i. q. خَاتَنَهُ [ He allied himself to him by marriage ]. (K in art. ختن.) ― -b2- [Hence,] تزوّجهُ النَّوْمُ (assumed tropical:) Sleep pervaded him; syn. خَالَطَهُ. (K.)

6 تزاوج القَوْمُ ذ and ↓ اِزْدَوَجُوا The people, or party, married one another; intermarried. (TA. [See also 3.]) ― -b2- See also the next paragraph, in three places.

8 اِزْدَوَجَتِ الطَّيْرُ ذ [ The birds coupled, or paired, one with another ]. (TA.) ― -b2- See also 6. ― -b3- اِزْدَوَجَا and ↓ تَزَاوَجَا [and ↓ زَاوَجَا], said of two phrases, or sentences, (A, TA,) (tropical:) They bore a mutual resemblance in their prose-rhymes, or in measure: or were connected, each with the other; or dependent, each on the other: and in like manner, ازدوج and ↓ تزاوج, said of a phrase, or sentence, (tropical:) It was such that one part of it resembled another in the prose-rhyme, or in the measure: or consisted of two propositions connected, each with the other; or dependent, each on the other: (TA:) اِزْدِوَاجٌ and ↓ مُزَاوَجَةٌ (S, A, K) and ↓ تَزَاوُجٌ (S) are syn.: (S, A, * K:) ازدواج signifies A conformity, or mutual resemblance, [ with respect to sound, or measure, ] of two words occurring near together; as in the phrase مِنْ سَبَأٍ بِنَبَأٍ [in the Kur xxvii. 22]: (Kull p. 31:) and this is also termed ↓ مُزَاوَجَةٌ and مُحَاذَاةٌ and مُوَازَنَةٌ and مُقَابَلَةٌ and مُؤَازَاةٌ. (Marginal note in a copy of the Muzhir, 22nd نوع.)

زَاجٌ ذ [ Vitriol; ] a well-known kind of salt; (K, TA;) called شَبٌّ يَمَانِىٌّ; [but see شَبٌّ;] which is a medicinal substance, and one of the ingredients of ink: (Lth, TA:) [pl. زَاجَاتٌ, meaning species, or sorts, of vitriol; namely, green, or sulphate of iron, which is an ingredient in ink, and is generally meant by the term زاج when unrestricted by an epithet; blue, or sulphate of copper; and white, or sulphate of zinc:] it is a Pers. word, (S,) arabicized, (S, K,) originally زاG. (TA.)

زَوْجٌ ذ primarily signifies A sort of thing of any kind [ that is one of a pair or couple ]: and زَوْجَانِ signifies a pair, or couple, i. e. any two things paired or coupled together, whether they be likes or contraries: زَوْجٌ signifying either one of such two things: (Az, TA:) or, accord. to 'Alee Ibn- 'Eesà, a sort of thing [absolutely]: (Mgh:) or a sort of thing having its like, (El-Ghooree, Mgh, Msb,) as in the case of species; (Msb;) or having its contrary, (El-Ghooree, Mgh, Msb,) as the moist and the dry, and the male and the female, and the night and the day, and the bitter and the sweet; (Msb;) though sometimes applied to any sort of thing; and to a single thing: (El-Ghooree, Mgh:) or it is applied to a single thing only when having with it a thing of the same kind; (Mgh, Msb;) زَوْجَانِ signifying a pair, or couple, of such things: (Mgh:) the pl. is أَزْوَاجِ: (TA:) you say زَوْجَانِ مِنْ حَمَامٍ and زَوْجَا حَمَامٍ [ A pair of pigeons ]: (A:) and اِشْتَرَيْتُ زَوْجَى حَمَامٍ [ I bought a pair of pigeons ], meaning a male and a female: (S:) and زَوْجَا نِعَالٍ [ A pair of sandals ]: (S, A:) and in like manner زَوْجَيْنِ is used in the Kur xi. 42 and xxiii. 28; (S;) meaning a male and a female: (Bd, Jel:) or, accord. to the M, زَوْجٌ signifies one of a pair or couple: and also a pair or couple together: (TA:) and in like manner says AO, (Mgh, Msb,) and IKt, and IF: (Msb:) and ISh says that it signifies two; (Mgh;) and so says IDrd: (Msb:) so that you say, هُمَا زَوْجٌ as well as هُمَا زَوْجَانِ [meaning They two are a pair, or couple ]; (S, K, TA;) like as you say, هُمَا سَوَاآءٌ and هُمَا سِيَّانِ: (S, TA:) and عِنْدِى زَوْجُ نِعَالٍ, meaning [ I have ] two [ sandals ]; and زَوْجَانِ, meaning four: (Msb:) or زَوْجُ حَمَامٍ as meaning a male and a female [of pigeons] is a phrase which should not be used; one to which the vulgar are addicted: (TA:) IAmb says, the vulgar are wrong in thinking that زَوْجٌ signifies two; for the Arabs used not to employ such a phrase as زَوْجُ حَمَامٍ, but used to say زَوْجَانِ مِنَ الحَمَامِ, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) meaning a male and a female; (TA;) and زَوْجَانِ مِنَ الخِفَافِ, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) meaning the right and the left [of boots]: (TA:) nor did they apply the term زَوْجٌ to one of birds, like as they applied the dual, زَوْجَانِ, to two; but they applied the term فَرْدٌ to the male, and فَرْدَةٌ to the female: (Mgh, Msb:) Es-Sijistánee, also, says that the term زَوْجٌ should not be applied to two, neither of birds nor of other things, for this is a usage of the ignorant; but to every two, زَوْجَانِ: (Msb:) Az says that the grammarians disapprove the saying of ISh that زَوْجٌ signifies two of any things, (Mgh, * TA,) and that زَوْجَانِ مِنْ خِفَافٍ signifies [ Two pairs of boots, or] four [ boots ]; for زَوْجٌ with them signifies one [ of a pair or couple ]: a man and his wife [together] are termed زَوْجَانِ: and ثَمَانِيَةَ أَزْوَاجٍ in the Kur [vi. 144 and xxxix. 8] means Eight ones [ of pairs or couples ]: the primary meaning of زَوْجٌ being that first mentioned in this paragraph; (TA:) in the Kur xxii. 5 and 1. 7 [it seems to be implied that it means pair or couple; but more probably in these instances] it means sort, or species: (Bd, Jel:) it is also expl. by the word لَوْنٌ [used in this last sense]: (T, TA;) in the Kur xxxviii. 58, its pl. أَزْوَاجٌ means أَلْوَانٌ and أَنْوَاعٌ [i. e. sorts, or species ] of punishment: F explains the sing. as meaning لَوْنٌ مِنَ الدِّيبَاجِ وَنَحْوِهِ [ a sort, or species, of silk brocade and the like ]; but his restricting the signification by the words من الديباج ونحوه is not right, as is shown by a citation, in the T, of a verse of El-Aashà, in which he uses the phrase كُلُّ زَوْجٍ مِنَ الدِّيبَاجِ [ every sort, or species, of silk brocade ], as an ex. of زوج in the sense of لون. (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] A woman's husband: and a man's wife: in which latter sense ↓ زَوْجَةٌ is also used; (S, M, A, Mgh, * Msb, K; *) as in a verse of El-Farezdak cited in art بول, conj. 10; (S, Mgh;) but it is disallowed by As; (TA;) and the former word is the one of high authority, (Mgh, Msb,) and is that which occurs in the Kur, in ii. 33 and vii. 18, (S, Mgh, Msb, TA,) and in iv. 24, (Mgh, TA,) and in xxxiii. 37: (Mgh:) AHát says that the people of Nejd call a wife ↓ زَوْجَةٌ, and that the people of the Haram use this word: but ISk says that the people of El-Hijáz call a wife زَوْجٌ; and the rest of the Arabs, ↓ زَوْجَةٌ: the lawyers use this latter word only, as applied to a wife, for the sake of perspicuity, fearing to confound the male with the female: (Msb:) the pl. of زَوْجٌ is أَزْوَاجٌ (Msb, K *) and زِوَجَةٌ; (K;) and the pl. of ↓ زَوْجَةٌ is زَوْجَاتٌ (A, Mgh, Msb) and أَزْوَاجٌ also; (A, Msb;) and أَزَاوِيجُ occurs [as a pl. pl., i. e. pl. of أَزْوَاجُ,] in a verse cited by ISk. (TA in art. نأج.) ― -b3- [Hence also,] A consociate, an associate, or a comrade: (A:) its pl. in this sense is أَزْوَاجٌ, (S, A, K,) occurring in the Kur xxxvii. 22. (S, A.) ― -b4- And A fellow, or like: pl. أَزْوَاجٌ: in this sense, each one of a pair of boots is the زوج of the other; and the husband is the زوج of the wife; and the wife, the زوج of the husband. (TA.) You say, عِنْدِى مِنْ هٰذَا أَزْوَاجٌ I have, of this, fellows, or likes. (TA.) ― -b5- As used by arithmeticians, (Mgh, Msb,) contr. of فَرْدٌ; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) i. e. it signifies An even number; a number that may be divided into two equal numbers; (Msb;) as, for instance, four, and eight, as opposed to three, and seven: (Mgh:) pl. أَزْوَاجٌ. (S, Mgh.) One says زَوْجٌ أَوْ فَرْدٌ [ Even or odd? ], like as one says خَسًا أَوْ زَكًا [or rather زَكًا أَوْ خَسًا] and شَفْعٌ أَوْ وِتْرٌ. (S, Mgh.) ― -b6- Also A [ kind of cloth such as is termed ] نَمَط [q. v.]: or silk brocade; syn. دِيبَاجٌ: (TA:) or a نَمَط that is thrown over the [ kind of vehicle called ] هَوْدَج. (S, K, TA.)

زِيجٌ ذ : see art. زيج.

زَوْجَةٌ ذ : see زَوْجٌ, in four places, in the latter half of the paragraph.

زَوْجِيَّةٌ ذ and ↓ زَوَاجٌ [The marriage-state, or simply marriage ]: the latter is a subst. from زَوَّجَ, [i. e. a quasi-inf. n.,] like سَلَامٌ from سَلَّمَ, and كَلَامٌ from كَلَّمَ. (Msb.) You say, بَيْنَهُمَا حَقُّ الزَّوْجِيَّةِ and ↓ الزَّوَاجِ [ Between them two is the right of the marriage-state, or of marriage ]: (A, Msb:) and الزِّوَاجِ is also allowable as [an inf. n. of 3,] coordinate to المُزَاوَجَة.

2 زوّدهُ ذ , (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَزْوِيدٌ; (KL;) as also ↓ ازداهُ, (K,) inf. n. اـِزْوَادٌ; (TA;) and ↓ زَادَهُ, inf. n. زَوْدٌ; (MF;) He furnished him with, or gave him, provisions (S, Msb, K, * KL) for travelling [or for a fixed residence ]. (S, Msb.) [It is doubly trans.:] you say, زَوَّدَهُمْ مِلْءَ المَزَاوِدِ [ He furnished them with what filled the provision-bags for travelling-provision ]: (A:) and زوّدهُ الزَّيْتُ [ He furnished him with olive-oil for travelling-provision ]. (S in art. زيت.) And Aboo-Khirásh says, وَقَدْ يَأْتِيكَ بِالأَخْبَارِ مَنْ لَا ↓ تُجَهِّزُ بِالحِذَاآءِ وَلَا تُزِيدُ [ And sometimes, or often, he will bring thee tidings whom thou wilt not furnish with the sandal nor furnish with travelling-provisions ]. (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] زَوَّدْتُهُ كِتَابًا (tropical:) [ I provided him with a letter ]. (A, TA.)

5 تزوّد ذ [ He became furnished, or he furnished himself, with provisions for travelling or for a fixed residence; ] he took, or prepared, for himself provisions (S, * KL, TA) for travelling or for a fixed residence: (TA: [Golius makes it to be trans. by means of بِ as on the authority of the KL; in which the only explanation, as that of the inf. n., is توشه برGرفتن:]) and he chose a thing as زَاد [or provision ] for himself. (Har p. 92.) You say, تَزَوَّدَ مِنَّا فُلَانٌ [ Such a one was furnished, or such a one furnished himself, with provisions from us ]. (A.) And تزوّد لِسَفَرِهِ [ He was furnished, or he furnished himself, with provisions for his journey ]. (Msb.) And see another ex. voce زَادٌ. You say also, تَزَوَّدَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا لِلْاآخِرَةِ (tropical:) [ Take thou provisions from the present world, i. e. make thou provision in it, for the world to come ]. (A, TA.) And تَزَوَّدَ مِنَ الأَمِيرِ كِتَابًا لِعَامِلِهِ (tropical:) [ He provided himself with a letter from the commander, or governor, or prince, to his prefect ]. (A, TA.)

(L.) ― -b2- And hence, as being likened thereto, (tropical:) Any deed, or acquirement, whether good or evil, whereby one becomes changed in state, or condition; (L;) [or rather, whereby one provides for a change of state, or condition, like as a traveller provides for a journey. ] It is said in the Kur [ii. 193], فَاـِنَّ خَيْرَ الزَّادِ ↓ وَتَزَوَّدُوا التَّقْوَى (L) meaning, [as is implied in the L, (tropical:) And make ye provision; but verily the best acquirement whereby to provide for a change of state, or condition, is fear of God, or piety: or the meaning is] and prepare ye provisions for your journey; and verily the best provision is that whereby one provides against begging from others, &c. (Jel.) ― -b3- [It is also said to be used as meaning (assumed tropical:) Salutation and the returning of a greeting. (De Sacy's Chrest. Ar., ii. 415, q. v.)]
