عنم عنو عنى


1. ⇒ عنوعنى

عَنَا, (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb,) first pers. عَنَوْتُ, (Ḳ,) aor. يَعْنُو, (Ṣ, Mṣb,) inf. n. عُنُوٌّ, (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ,*) andعَنْوَةٌ↓ is the subst. thereof, (Mgh, Ḳ,* TA,) [and] so is عَنَآءٌ↓, (Mṣb,) or عَنْوَةٌ is its inf. n., (MA,) [and so, app., is عَنَآءٌ, in this sense as well as in another sense, accord. to the Ḳ,] He was, or became, lowly, humble, or submissive; (Ṣ, MA, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ,) and obedient; (MA, TA;) to the truth, &c. (TA.) You say, عَنَا لَهُ He was, or became, lowly, humble, or submissive, to him; or obedient to him. (MA.) And hence the saying in the Ḳur [xx. 110], وَعَنَتِ ٱلْوَجُوهُ لِلْحَىِّ القَيُّومِ (Ṣ, TA) And the countenances shall be lowly, &c. [to the Deathless, or Ever-living, the Self-subsisting by Whom all things subsist: or shall be downcast; like the Hebr. phrases ending verses 5 and 6 in Gen. iv.]: or shall be submissive like captives: or the meaning is [shall be depressed by] the depressing of the forehead and the knee [or rather knees] and the hands in the lowering of the head and the prostrating oneself [in prayer]: or [عَنَت is here from عَنَى, belonging to art. عنى, and الوجوه is used by a synecdoche for the persons (as being the most noble of all the parts thereof), and the meaning is] shall suffer fatigue, or weariness, and shall toil. (TA.)

Root: عنو - Entry: 1. Signification: A2

And عَنَا, inf. n. عُنُوٌّ (M, Mṣb, Ḳ, TA, accord. to some copies of the Ḳ [erroneously] عَنْوٌ) and عُنِىٌّ (TA) and عَنَآءٌ; (Ḳ;) and عَنِىَ; (M, Ḳ;) He became a captive: (Ḳ:) and the latter verb signifies also he stuck fast in captivity: (Ḳ in art. عنى:) or both of these verbs have this latter signification: (Mṣb:) [or] you say, عَنَا فِيهِمْ فُلَانٌ أَسِيرًا Such a one remained among them a captive; and was in a state of confinement: (Ṣ:) and عَنَآءٌ signifies also confinement, or imprisonment, in hardship and humiliation. (TA.) Hence the trad., الخَالُ وَارِثُ مَنْ لَا وَارِثَ لَهُ يَفُكُّ عُنِيَّهُ i. e. أَسْرَهُ [The maternal uncle is the heir of him who has no more nearlyallied heir: he shall loose his (the latter's) captivity]: meaning [he shall acquit him of] what is incumbent on him, and clings to him, because of the actions that require punishment or retaliation, the way [or custom] of which is that the عَاقِلَة [q. v., of whom he is a member,] bear the responsibility for them.

(Mṣb, Ḳ, TA.) A poet (cited by Fr, TA) says,

* فَمَا أَخَذُوهَا عَنْوَةً عَنْ مَوَدَّةٍ *
* وَلٰكِنَّ ضَرْبَ المَشْرَفِىِّ ٱسْتَقَالَهَا *

(Mṣb, TA;) which is said to mean, [And they did not take it, or her, or them,] by concession, and obedience, [arising from love, or affection,] without fighting: [but the smiting of the Mesh-rafee sword demanded the renouncing thereof:] ʼAbd-El-Kádir Ibn-ʼAmr El-Baghdádee asserts the meaning of عَنْوَةٌ to be submission and concession; adducing as evidence thereof this verse; attributing the contr. meaning to the vulgar: both, however, are correct; and that first mentioned occurs repeatedly in traditions: but the most learned Yákoot Er-Roomee, in his Moajam, says that the verse above-cited may be rendered as meaning and they did not take it, or her, or them, by superior power attended by [or in consequence of] love, or affection: but they did so by fighting: and that this may be regarded as indicated by the poet's saying اخذوها; for otherwise he would have said, فَمَا سَلَّمُوهَا: and he says, it is a matter of common consent that عَنْوَةٌ signifies force, and superior power. (TA.)

Root: عنو - Entry: عَنْوَةٌ Signification: A3

It is also a subst. from عَنَا in the first of senses mentioned in this art.: [i. e. it signifies Lowliness, humility, or submissiveness:] (Mgh, TA:) [and] so is عَنَآءٌ↓: (Mṣb:) see 1, first sentence.
