And a man is 'haa' laa': 'haa'' meaning impatient, and 'laa'' meaning pained; this is the narration of the linguists, and the correct is 'mutawajji'' to express 'fa'il' by 'fa'il', and 'laa'' is not an echo of what preceded from their saying 'a man is 'laa'' without 'haa'';

قَالَ الأَزْهَرِيُّ: اللَّوْعَةُ السَّوَادُ حَوْلَ حَلَمَةِ المَرْأَةِ، وَقَدْ أَلْعَى ثَدْيُهَا إِذَا تَغَيَّرَ.

Al-Azhari said: Al-law'ah is the darkness around a woman's nipple, and her breast became 'al'aa'' if it changed color.

ابْنُ الأَعْرَابِيِّ: أَلْوَاعُ الثَّدْيِ جَمْعُ لَوْعٍ وَهُوَ السَّوَادُ الَّذِي عَلَى الثَّدْيِ، قَالَ الأَزْهَرِيُّ: هَذَا السَّوَادُ يُقَالُ لَهُ لُعْوَةٌ وَلَوْعَةٌ، وَهُمَا لُغَتَانِ؛

Ibn Al-A'rabi: 'Alwaa' al-thady' is the plural of 'law'' which is the darkness on the breast, Al-Azhari said: this darkness is called 'lu'wah' and 'law'ah', and they are two variants;

بَلُوعِ ثَدْيٍ، كَأَنَّفِ الكَلْبِ، دِمَاعٌ
