عَطُشٌ / عَطُشَةٌ

عَطُشٌ; and its fem. عَطُشَةٌ: see the next paragraph, in three places.


عَطِشٌ

عَطِشٌ (Mgh, O, Mṣb, Ḳ) andعَطُشٌ↓ (Ḳ) andعَطْشَان↓ [without and with tenween, as is shown by the two forms of its fem., which see in what follows,] (Ṣ, Mgh, O, Mṣb) andعَاطِشٌ↓ (TA) Thirsting; or thirsty: (Ṣ, TA:) or needing water: (Mgh:) or you say,هُوَ عَطْشَانُ↓ ٱلْآنَ [He is thirsting, or thirsty, now]; (Lḥ, Ḳ;) andهُوَ عَاطِشٌ↓ غَدًا [He will be thirsting, or thirsty, tomorrow]; (Lḥ, O, Ḳ;) andمَا هُوَ بِعَاطِشٍ↓ بَعْدَ هٰذَا اليَوْمِ [He will not be thirsting, or thirsty, after this day]: (Lḥ, TA:) fem. [of the first] عَطِشَةٌ (O, Mṣb, Ḳ) and [of the second] عَطُشَةٌ↓ (TA) and [of the third] عَطْشَى↓, (Ṣ, O, Mṣb, Ḳ,) which is also used as a pl., (Ṣ, Ḳ,) andعَطْشَانَةٌ↓: (Lth, O, Ḳ:) pl. masc. [of the first and third and fourth, and perhaps of the second also,] عِطَاشٌ (Ṣ, O, Mṣb, Ḳ) and عُطَاشٌ [which is irregular] and عَطِشُونَ and [of the second] عَطُشُونَ (TA) and [of the third] عَطَاشَى: (Ṣ, O, Ḳ:) pl. fem. عِطَاشٌ, like the masc., (Ṣ, O, Ḳ,) and [of the first] عَطِشَاتٌ, (Lth, O, Ḳ,) but this was ignored by Aboo-Leylà, (O,) and [of the second] عَطُشَاتٌ (TA) and [of the third] عَطْشَانَاتٌ. (Lth, O, Ḳ.) Accord. to Moḥammad Ibn-Es-Seree, عَطْشَان↓ is originally عَطْشَآءُ, like صَحْرَآءُ, the ن being substituted for the fem. ا, as is shown by its plural's being عَطَاشَى like صَحَارَى: (Ṣ, O:) [but there are many similar pls. of epithets of the measure فُعْلَان; as سَكَارَى and غَيَارَى and نَدَامَى and كَسَالَى, &c.] You say also عَطْشَانُ نَطْشَانُ; the latter being an imitative sequent to the former, not used alone. (Ṣ, O.) Andإِنَّكَ إِلَى الدَّمِ عَطْشَانُ↓ كَأَنَّكَ عَطْشَانُ [Verily thou art thirsting for blood, as though thou wert 'Atshán]: (A:) this being the name of a sword of ʼAbd-El-Muttalib Ibn-Háshim. (A, O, Ḳ.) The dim. of عَطِشٌ is عُطَيْشَان↓, as though from عَطْشَان; andعُطَيْشٌ↓ also; but the former is the better. (ISk, O.)

Root: عطش - Entry: عَطِشٌ Signification: A2

[Hence,]عَطْشَان↓ also signifies ‡ Longing; or desiring. (Ḳ.) You say,إِنِّى إِلَيْكَ لَعَطْشَانُ↓[Verily I am longing for seeing thee]. (IAạr, O.)
