جاوتهاverb

1.
he called them to waterclassical
He called the camels to water, a more correct form according to some.

جايت الإبل: قال لها: جوت جوت، وهو دعاؤه إياها إلى الماء

Calling camels: he said to them: 'Jawt Jawt', and it is his calling them to water.

قال: جايتها فهاجها جواته

He said: 'I called them, and his calling them agitated them.'

وهذا يبطله التصريف، لأن جايتها من الياء، وجوت جوت من الواو

And this invalidates it by conjugation, because 'jaytuhā' is from the 'yā', and 'jawt jawt' is from the 'wāw'.

اللهم إلا أن يكون معاقبة حجازية، كقولهم: الصياع في الصواع، والمياثق في المواثق، أو تكون لفظة على حدة

Unless it is a Hijazi substitution, like their saying 'al-ṣiyāʿ' for 'al-ṣawāʿ', and 'al-miyāthiq' for 'al-mawāthiq', or it is a word on its own.

والصحيح: جاوتها، فهاجها جواته

And the correct form is: 'jāwatuhā', so his calling them agitated them.
