The dim. ↓ حُظَيَّةٌ signifies Such an arrow having no head: the pl. is حُظَيَّاتٌ: (S:) and [hence,] إِحْدَي حُظَيَّاتِ لُقْمَانَ One of the [small headless] arrows of Lukmán, the son of 'Ád, is a prov., applied to him who is known for evil conduct, and from whom proceeds (S, K) something, (S,) or some good act.

For حَظِيَّةٌ, the vulgar say, erroneously, ↓ مَحْظِيَّة; [meaning thereby A concubine; in which sense حَظِيَّةٌ is used by late writers;] and making the pl. مَحَاظِى, which is also wrong. (TA.)
