So, too, one says of a she-camel, meaning She yearned towards, longed for, or desired, her home, or her young one; and in like manner, of a pigeon: but in most instances it means she (a camel) yearned with a cry, or uttered a cry when yearning [or a yearning cry or the cry produced by yearning], towards her young one or her companions: or she uttered a cry with emotion after her young one: in its primary sense, she reiterated her [yearning] cry after her young one: but when you say, حَنَّ قَلْبِى إِلَيْهِ, you mean My heart yearned towards, longed for, or desired, him, or it, without the uttering of a cry or sound. (TA.) They said also, لَاأَفْعَلُهُ حَتَّى يَحِنَّ الضَّبُّ فِى أَثَرِ الإِبِلِ الصَّادِرَةِ [I will not do it until the lizard called ضبّ yearn after the camels returning from the water; meaning I will never do it]: this is only a prov.; for the ضبّ has no حَنِين nor does it ever go to the water. (TA.) [and حنَّ العُودُ, aor.  and inf. n. as above, (assumed tropical:)  The lute produced plaintive sounds: or excited lively emotions of sadness, or of mirth: see حَنَّانٌ. and in like manner one says of a musical reed: see مُثَقَّب.] And حَنَّتِ القَوْسُ, (K,) aor.  as above, (S,) and so the inf. n., (TA,) (assumed tropical:)  The bow [twanged, or] made a sound (K, TA) when its string had been pulled and then let go.

(TA in art. صر.) And حَنَّ قِدْحُ لَيْسَ مِنْهَا (assumed tropical:)  [An arrow of those used in the game called المَيْسِر produced a sound: it was not of them]: a prov., applied to a man who ascribes to himself a false origin, or who arrogates to himself that to which he has no relation: by the قدح is meant one of the arrows of the ميسر; for when this is not of the same substance as the others, and is made to vibrate, it produces a sound different from the sounds of the others, and is known thereby. (TA. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 341.]) And حَنَّتِ الرِّيحُ and ↓ استحنّت (assumed tropical:)  [The wind made a plaintive, or moaning, or perhaps a shrill, sound; made a sound like the حَنِين of camels: see حَنُونٌ]: both signify the same.

(Lh, TA.) b3: See also 2. b4:  حَنَّ عَنِّى, aor. ـُ means صَدَّ; (S;) i. e. He turned away from me, avoided me, or shunned me: so that it is anomalous; for by rule the aor.  should be حَنِّ; and it is not mentioned among the exceptions [to the rule applying to a case of this kind]. (MF, TA.) [But it appears from what here follows that صَدَّ may perhaps be here meant to be understood in its trans. sense.]A2:  حَنَّهُ, (K,) [aor. ـُ as is shown below,] inf. n. حَنٌّ, (TA,) signifies صَدَّهُ and صَرَفَهُ [He turned him, or it, away, or back].

A3:  [حُنَّ, inf. n. حَنٌّ, app. He was, or became, possessed by a demon, or by one of the tribe or kind or class termed الحِنّ; and hence, he was, or became, mad, or insane: for] حَنٌّ is syn. with  جُنُونٌ; (TA as from the K; [but not in the CK nor in my MS. copy of the K;]) whence مَحْنُونٌ applied to a man [as meaning مَجْنُونٌ]. (TA.) 2 حَنَّّ [حنّنهُ عَلَى غَيْرِهِ, accord. to modern usage, and perhaps classical also, He, or it, caused him to be merciful, compassionate, pitiful, or favourably inclined, towards another.]A2:  حَمَلَ فَحَنَّنَ He charged, or made an assault or attack, and was cowardly, and retreated. (K, TA.) b2:  مَا حَنَّنَ عَنِّى He did not turn away from me; did  not leave, or relinquish, me. (TA.) [And ↓ احنّ, or ↓ حَنَّ, seems to have a similar meaning: for] you say, أَثَرٌ لَا يُحِنُّ عَنِ الجِلْدِ A mark that does not go away from the skin: or, accord. to Th, who does not explain it, it is يَحِنُّ. (TA.) A3: حَنَّنَتِ الشَّجَرَةُ The tree blossomed, or flowered: (K:) and in like manner one says of a herb. (TA.) 4 احنّ القَوْسَ He made the bow to [twang, or] give a sound, [by pulling, and then letting go, the string.] (K.) A2:  And احنّ He (a man.

(Az, TA.) وَحَنَانًا مِنْ لَدُنَّا, in the Kur [xix. 14], respecting which I 'Ab is related by 'Ikrimeh to have said, I know not what is الحَنَانُ, means And mercy from us. (S, TA.) The Arabs say, حَنَانَكَ يَا رَبِّ and حَنَانَيْكَ [I beg thy mercy, O my Lord]: both signify the same; i. e. رَحْمَتَكَ: (S:) the latter is the expression commonly used: (A 'Obeyd, in a marginal note in a copy of the S:) or [rather] the latter means have mercy on me time after time, and with mercy after mercy: (K, * TA:) it is a dualized inf. n., of which the verb is not expressed; like لَبَّيْكَ and سَعْدَيْكَ: (TA:) or it means [let thy mercy be continuous to me;] whenever I receive mercy and good from Thee, let it not cease, but be conjoined with other mercy from Thee: (ISd, TA:) the dual form is not to be understood as restricting the signification to duality: (Suh, TA:) the word is not used in this form otherwise than as a prefixed noun: (Sb, TA:) but sometimes they said حَنًانًا, in the sing., without prefixing it. (ISd, TA.) They said also, سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ وَحَنَانَيْهِ meaning [I extol, or celebrate, or declare, the absolute purity, or perfection, or glory, of God,] and I beg his mercy; like as they said, سُبْحَانَ اللّٰهِ وَرَيْحَانَهُ.

(TA.) You say also, رِيحٌ لَهَا حَنِينٌ كَحَنِينِ الإِبِلِ (assumed tropical:)  [A wind that has a plaintive, or moaning, or perhaps a shrill, sound, like the حنين of camels].
