Parallel reading

رجل عزهاة وعنزهوة وعزهاءة وعزهى، منون: لئيم

A man 'azhah, 'anzahuwah, 'azhā'ah, or 'azhā, with tanwin: mean.

قلبت الياء الزائدة فيه ألفا لوقوعها طرفا بعد ألف زائدة، ثم قلبت الألف همزة

The extra ya' was inverted into an alif because it occurred at the end after an extra alif, and then the alif was inverted into a hamza.

كله: عازف عن اللهو والنساء لا يطرب للهو ويبعد عنه

All of them: abstaining from amusement and women, not being moved by amusement and staying away from it.

والذي يجمعهما الانقباض والتأبي، فيكون ثاني إنقحل

And what unites them is contraction and disdain, so the second would be 'inqahala'.

وهو الذي لا يقرب النساء

And he is one who does not approach women.

إذا كنت عزهاة عن اللهو والصبا، ... فكن حجرا من يابس الصخر جلمدا

If you are 'azhah from amusement and youth, ... then be a stone from dry rock, a boulder.

رجل عزهى وعزهاة وعزه وعنزهوة، وهو الذي لا يحدث النساء ولا يريدهن ولا يلهو وفيه غفلة

A man 'azhā, 'azhah, 'azah, and 'anzahuwah, who does not speak to women, nor desire them, nor amuse himself, and has heedlessness.

فلا تبعدن، إما هلكت، فلا شوى ... ضئيل، ولا عزهى من القوم عانس

So do not go far away; if I perish, then there will be no meager roast meat, nor an 'azhā among the people, an old maid.

والعنزاه والعنزهوة: الكبر

And al-'anzāh and al-'anzahuwah: arrogance.

يقال: رجل فيه عنزهوة أي كبر

It is said: a man has 'anzahuwah, meaning arrogance.

جمع العزهاة عزهون، تسقط منه الهاء والألف الممالة لأنها زائدة فلا تستخلف فتحة

The plural of al-'azhah is 'azhūn, from which the ha' and the slanted alif are dropped because they are extra and do not substitute a fatha.

وتقول في جمع أعشى أعشون ويحيى يحيون، لأنه على بناء أفعل ويفعل، فلذلك فتحت في الجمع

And you say for the plural of 'a'shā, 'a'shawn, and for Yaḥyā, Yaḥyūn, because it is on the pattern 'af'ala and yaf'alu, therefore it is opened in the plural.

ويقال عزهاة للرجل والمرأة

And 'azhah is said for the man and the woman.

وأنت عزهاة صبور

And you are 'azhah, patient.
