أَوَى إِلَيْهِ , (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) and أَوَاهُ,
(M, Msb, K,) aor. يَأْوِى, (T, S, Msb,) imperative
اِيوِ (T,) inf. n. أُوِىُّ, (T, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,)
with damm, (K,) of the measure فُعُولٌ, [originally
أُوُوىٌ,] (S,) and إِوِىٌّ, (Fr, M, K,) with kesr, (K,)
and إِوَآءٌ; (S;) and أوّى ↓ اليه, (M, K,) inf. n.
تَأْوِيَةٌ; (K;) and ↓ تأوّى; (M, K;) and ↓ ٱأْتَوَى,
(thus [more commonly ائتوى] accord. to a copy
of the M,) or ↓ ٱتَّوَى, (K,) like ٱتَّخَذَ, (TK,) and
↓ اِيتَوَى, (M, K,) both of the measure افتعل;
(TA;) and ↓ آوَى is used by some in the same
sense, but rejected, in this sense, by several;
(Msb;) the pronoun relating to a place of abode;
(T, S, M, Msb, K;) He betook himself to it, or
repaired to it, for lodging, covert, or refuge;
(Mgh;) and [simply] he got him or got himself,
betook himself, repaired, or resorted, to it; (T,
Mgh;) he returned to it; (M;) he took up his
abode in it; he lodged, or abode, or dwelt, in it.
(Msb, K.) Hence, in the Kur [xi. 45], سَآوِى إِلَى
جَبَلٍ يَعْصِمُنِى مِنَ المَآءِ [I will betake myself for
refuge to a mountain that shall preserve me from
the water]. (S.) الأُوِىُّ properly relates to living
beings; but is used otherwise, metaphorically.
(M.) In the saying of Lebeed,
بِصَبُوحِ صَافِيَةٍ وَجَذْبِ كَرِينَةٍ
بِمُوَتَّرٍ تَأْتَى ↓ لَهُ إِبْهَامُهَا
[With a morning-potation of clear wine (خَمْرٍ
being understood), and a female singer's straining
of her chords, with a stringed instrument to which
her thumb returns after the straining], he means
تَأْتَوِى لَهُ, of the measure تَفْتَعِلُ, from أَوَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ
signifying عُدْتُ; the و being changed into ا
[written ى], and the ى, which is the final radical,
being elided. (M. [But see another reading near
the end of the first paragraph of art. أَوَى ([.اول,
aor. as above, inf. n. أُوِىٌّ, also signifies He turned
away: and hence, [it is said,] إِذْ أَوَى الفِتْيَةُ إِلَى الكَهْفِ
[When the young men turned away to the cave:
though the verb may be here well rendered betook
themselves for refuge]. (Har p. 246.) You say
also, أَوَيْتُ إِلَى فُلَانٍ, (A'Obeyd, T,) or لَهُ, (as
afterwards written in a copy of the T,) [I betook
myself to such a one, or repaired to him, for
lodging, covert, or refuge; or] I joined myself,
got myself, betook myself, repaired, or resorted,
to such a one: and accord. to AHeyth, أَوَيْتُ
فُلَانًا signifies the same; but he did not know
أَوَيْتُ to be syn. with آوَيْتُ as explained below.
(T.) And أَوَى إِلَى ٱللّٰهِ He returned unto God.
(TA, from a trad.) ―
2-b2- أَوَى said of a wound: see
5. ＝
1-A2- See also 4, in seven places. ＝
1-A3- أَوَى لَهُ, (T,
S, M, Mgh, K,) like رَوَى, (K, TA,) but it would
have been more explicit if the author of the K
had said like رَمَى, (TA,) [as is shown by the false
reading in the CK, أوِىَ لَهُ كَرَوِىَ,] aor. يَأْوِى,
(T, S, Mgh,) inf. n. أَوْيَةٌ (S, K) and إِيَّةٌ, (S, Mgh,
K,) with kesr, (TA,) [originally إِوْيَةٌ,] the و
being changed into ى because of the kesreh
before it, (S,) or because combined with ى and
preceded by sukoon [a mistake for “kesreh”],
(IB as cited in the TA,) [in a copy of the T
written ايَّة, and in a copy of the M and in the CK
اَيَّة,] and مَأْوِيَةٌ, (S, M, K,) without teshdeed, (S,
TA,) [in my copy of the Mgh written with tesh-deed,] and مَأْوَاهٌ, (S, M, K,) He compassionated
him; felt compassion, or pity, for him; (T, S,
M, Mgh, K;) as also ↓ ائتوى, (T, K,) of the
measure افتعل. (TA.) In using the imperative
form, you say, اِوِ لَهُ, [unless this be a mistranscription for اِيوِ لَهُ,] meaning Be thou compassionate to him. (T, TA.)
