وَجَسَانٌ

وَجَسَانٌ: see 1, and وَجْسٌ.


وَجَّاسٌ

وَجَّاسٌ is syn. with عَالِمٌ [Knowing,, &c.]; and therefore made trans. by means of بِ in the saying of Aboo-Dhu-eyb,

* ذُو مِرَّةٍ بِدِوَارِ الصَّيْدِ وَجَّاسُ *

[An intelligent person, acquainted with the circumvention of game: see دَاوَرَهُ]: (M, art. دور:) (ISd holds it to be a possessive epithet, since it has no known verb [of a suitable meaning that is unaugmented]): or [the meaning of these words is, a person possessing skill in circumventing game, a listener, or attentive, to their sounds and motions; for], accord. to Es-Sukkaree, رجّاس means يَتَوَجَّسُ. (TA.)


وَاجِسٌ

وَاجِسٌ An opinion, idea, or object of thought, bestirring itself, or occurring, in the mind; syn. هَاجِسٌ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) i. e., خَاطِرٌ. (TA.)


أَوْجَسُ

أَوْجَسُ A little of food, and of beverage. (Ḳ.) One says, مَا دُقْتُ عِنْدَهُ أَوْجَسُ I tasted not, at his abode, any food; (El-Umawee, Ṣ;) and [in like manner] وَجْسًا↓. (TA.) And مَافِى سِقَائِهِ أَوْجَسُ There is not in his skin a drop: thus the phrase is given, without the mention of beverage: or a drop of water. (TA.) It is said that the word is not used except in negative phrases. (TA.)

Root: وجس - Entry: أَوْجَسُ Signification: A2

Also, الأَوْجَسُ and الأَوْجُسُ (Ṣ, Ḳ) the latter on the authority of Yaạḳoob, (Ṣ, TA,) but the former is the more chaste, (TA,) Time; syn. الدِّهْرَ. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) Hence the saying, (TA,) لَاأَفْعَلُهُ سَجِيسَ الأَوْجَسِ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) and الأَوْجُسِ, (Ṣ,) I will not do it ever. (ISk, Ṣ, Ḳ.) And أَفْعَلُهُ سَجِيسَ عُجَيْسَ الأَوْجَسٍ I will not do it while time lasts. (El-Fárisee.)
