حَاطَهُ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. as above, (S, Msb,)
inf. n.
حَوْطٌ (S, Msb, K) and
حِيطَةٌ and
حِيَاطَةٌ,
(S, K, TA, [the second and third, in the CK,
erroneously, with fet-h to the
ح, the former of
them being expressly said in the S and TA, and
the latter also in the TA, to be with kesr, and
both being shown in the S to be originally with
و,
i. e.
حِوْطَةٌ and
حِوَاطَةٌ,]) and
حِيَاطٌ is used in
poetry for the last of these; (TA;) and ↓
حوّطهُ,
(K,) inf. n.
تَحْوِيطٌ; (TA;) and ↓
تحوّطهُ; (K,
TA; [omitted in the CK;])
He guarded, kept,
kept safely, protected, or
took care of, him, or
it;
(S, Msb, K, TA;)
he defended him, or
it; (TA;)
he paid frequent attention to him, or
it; (K,
TA;)
he minded, or
was regardful of, the things
that were for his, or
its, good. (TA.) You say,
لَا زِلْتَ فِى حِيَاطَةِ ٱللّٰهِ Mayest thou not cease to be
in the protection of God. (TA.) And
مَعَ فُلَانٍ
حِيطَةٌ لَكَ There is with such a one compassion and
affection for thee: you should not say
عَلَيْكَ.
(S.) And
أَحُوطُ عِرْضِى [
I guard, or
defend, or
take care of, my honour, or
reputation]. (TA.)
And
أَخَاهُ ↓
هُوَ يَتَحَوَّطُ He takes care of, or
pays
frequent attention to, his brother; and undertakes, or
superintends, or
manages, his affairs.
(TA.) And
حَاطَهُمْ قَصَآءَهُمْ and
بِقَصَائِهِمْ He
fought in their defence. (TA.) [But this is generally meant ironically.] When an affliction
befalls thee, and thy brother does not guard thee,
or defend thee, and does not aid thee, one says
[to thee],
حَاطَكَ الفَضَآءَ [so in the TA, app. a
mistranscription for
القَصَآءَ or
القَصَا, with which,
however, it is nearly syn.,] which is used ironically; i. e.
He guarded thee, or
defended thee, in
a distant quarter; meaning, (tropical:)
he did not guard
thee, or
defend thee; for he who guards, or defends, his brother, draws near to him, and supports
him, or aids him. (A, TA.) [See also 1 in art.
حبو.] You say also,
حَاطُونَا القَصَآءَ, (K,) or
القَصَا,
(TK,) [both are said to be correct in the TA in
art.
قصو, on the authority of Ibn-Wellád,] in
some of the copies of the K with
ف and
ض, and
in some with
ف and
ض, the latter unpointed, and
so in [a copy of] the A, (TA,) (tropical:)
They retired to
a distance from us, they being around us, and we
not being distant from them, had they desired to
come to us. (K, TA.) And
حُطْنِى القَصَا (tropical:)
Retire
thou to a distance from me; (Ibn-Wellád, and
K in art.
قصو;) as also
القَصَآءَ. (Ibn-Wellád, and
TA in that art.) And
لَأَحُوطَنَّكَ القَصَا وَلَأَغْزُوَنَّكَ
بِالعَصَا, in each case with the short &
ا, meaning
I will assuredly leave thee, and not go near thee;
[
and I will assuredly go against thee to fight thee
with the staff.] (Ks, TA in art.
قصو.)
حُطْ حُطْ
means
Take thou care of the tie of kindred, and
preserve it. (IAar, K. *) It also signifies
Deck
thou the boys (
الصِّبْيَة [in the CK
الصَّبِيَّة the girl])
with the حَوْط [
for preservation from the evil eye].
(IAar, K.) And
حُوطُوا غُلَامَكُمْ Deck ye your boy
with the حَوْط. (AA.) ―
2-b3-
حَاطَ الحِمَارُ عَانَتَهُ, (S, *
Msb, K,) nor, as above, (S, Msb,) inf. n.
حَوْطٌ,
(Msb,)
The [wild]
he-ass collected, or
drew together, (S, * Msb, K, *)
and guarded, or
took care
of, (TA,)
his عَانَة [app. meaning his
herd of wild
asses: or the phrase may mean
the he-ass drew
towards himself, or
compressed, and guarded, his
she-ass: Freytag here renders
عانة by “ pubem; ”
and Golius, by “ veretrum ”]. (S, Msb, K.)
