هي لغة في (الوثء) ، بالهمز، وهو شبه الفسخ في المفصل، ويكون في اللحم كالكسر في العظم وقد تقدم.

It is a dialectal variant of (al-wath'u), with hamza, which is a kind of dislocation in a joint, and can occur in the flesh like a fracture in bone, as previously mentioned.

ووثيت يده، بالضم، فهي موثية، أي موثوءة.

And his hand was sprained (wuthiyat, with damma), so it is muwthiyah, meaning mawthoo'ah (sprained).

وبه وثء، ولا تقل وثي، وهي عبارة الجوهري هناك.

And he has a sprain (wath'un), but do not say 'wathi', which is Jawhari's phrasing there.

فما أنكره أولا كيف يستدركه ثانيا.

So how can he first deny it and then later correct it?

أصابه وثء، فإن خففت قلت: وث، ولا يقال وثي ولا وثو.

A sprain afflicted him (wath'un); if you lighten it, you say 'wath', but it is not said 'wathi' or 'wathoo'.

وتقدم أيضا وثئت يده، كعني، فهي موثوءة ووثئة فتأمل ذلك.

It was also previously mentioned that his hand was sprained (wuthi'at, like 'uni), so it is mawthoo'ah and wathi'ah; ponder that.

And al-wathaa, like al-hudaa: ailments.

أوثى الرجل: انكسر به مركبه من حيوان أو سفينة.
