غَضَنَهُ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) aor. ـِ {يَغْضِنُ} and ـُ {يَغْضُنُ}, (Ḳ,) inf. n. غَضْنٌ, (Ṣ,) He, or it, (a man, and a thing, Ṣ,) withheld, restrained, hindered, or diverted, him. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) One says, مَا غَضَنَكَ عَنَّا What withheld, hindered, or diverted, or has withheld,, &c., thee from us? (Ṣ.) In the “Nawádir” of IAạr, this verb, which is correctly thus, with ض, is erroneously with ص. (TA.)

غَضَنَتْ بِوَلَدِهَا, andغَضّنت↓, She (a camel) cast her young one, or fœtus, in an imperfect state, (Ḳ, TA.) before the hair had grown upon it and its make had become [perfectly] apparent. (TA. [See also خَدَجَتْ.]) [This is what is meant in the Ṣ where, after the mention of a signification of التَّغْضِين↓ which will be found below, it is said that this word signifies also الرِّجَاعُ (an inf. n. of رَجَعَتْ, q. v.): hence, app., (though referring to the Ḳ as his authority,) Freytag has given to غضّنت, as said of a she-camel, besides the signification mentioned above, another, which is also assigned to رَجَعَتْ; i. e., she falsely indicated her being pregnant, by raising her tail,, &c.]
