يَأْنَسُ ; (Msb, TA;) and أَنَسَ, (S, M, A,
Msb, K,) aor.
يَأْنِسُ (M, Msb, TA) and

and أَنُسَ, aor.
يَأْنُسُ ; (M, Sgh, K;) inf. n. أَنَسٌ
and أَنَسَةٌ, (S, K,) both of أَنِسَ, (S,) or إِنْسٌ,
(AZ, AHát, T, M, Msb,) also of أَنِسَ, (AZ,
AHát, Msb, TA,) but this is rare, (T, TA,)
and أُنْسٌ, (T, S, M, A, K,) which is the more
common, (T, TA,) and is of أَنَسَ, (S,) or أُنْسٌ has
a different signification from إِنْسٌ the inf. n. of
أَنِسَ, [see أُنْسٌ below,] (AZ, AHát,) or it is a
subst. from أَنِسَ بِهِ, (Msb,) and أُنْسَةٌ; (M;) [but
this also is probably a subst.;] one says أُنْسٌ and
أُنْسَةٌ, like as one says بُعْدٌ and بُعْدَةٌ; (Ham p. 768;)
He was, or became, sociable, companionable, conversable, inclined to company or converse, friendly,
amicable, or familiar, with him, or by means of
him, and to him: and [انس به] he was, or became,
cheered, or gladdened, by his company or converse,
or by his, or its, presence; or cheerful, gay, or gladsome: the inf. n. signifying the contr. of وَحْشَةٌ: (T,
S, A, K:) or he was, or became, at ease, or tranquil,
with him: (M:) or his heart was, or became, at ease,
or tranquil, with him; without shrinking, or aversion: (Msb:) and استأنس ↓ بِهِ, (S, M, A, Msb,) and
إِلَيْهِ, (A,) and تأنّس ↓ بِهِ, signify the same, (S,
M, Msb,) i. e., the same as أَنِسَ (M, A, Msb,
TA) and أَنَسَ (M, Msb) and أَنُسَ: (M:) أَنِسَ بِفُلَانٍ
is likewise explained as signifying he delighted, or
rejoiced, in such a one; he was happy, or pleased,
with him: (IAar, TA:) [and ↓ آنسهُ, a form of frequent occurrence, inf. n. مُؤَانَسَةٌ, which occurs in
this art. in the TA, also signifies he was, or became,
sociable, &c., with him; like أَنِسَ بِهِ &c.: it is
also said in the TA that أَنِسَ بِهِ and آنَسَ ↓ بِهِ are
syn., meaning, app., like استأنس and تأنّس به,
and that آنس in this case is therefore of the
measure فَاعَلَ; but this admits of some doubt, as
it is said immediately after آنسهُ as meaning the
contr. of أَوْحَشَهُ:] and ↓ استأنس, (K, TA,) said of
a wild animal, (TA,) signifies [he became familiar,
or tame, or domesticated; or] his wildness (تَوَحُّشُهُ)
departed: (K, TA:) you say إِذَا جَآءَ اللَّيْلُ ٱسْتَأْنَسَ
كُلُّ وَحْشِىٍّ وَٱسْتَوْحَشَ كُلُّ إِنْسِىٍّ [When the night
comes, every wild animal becomes familiar with
his kind, and every human being becomes shy of
his kind, i. e., of such thereof as he does not know,
when meeting them in the dark]. (A, TA, Msb
in art. وحش.)
