(L.) b2:  لَاذَ بِهِ, (L,) inf. n. as above, in the commencement of the art., (K,) It encompassed, or surrounded, it; (L, K; *) as also ↓ الاذ, (L,) inf. n. إِلَاذَةٌ. (L, K.)

(L.) See also 3. b3:  لَاذَ بِالقَوْمِ and بِهِم ↓ الاذ, He laboured, or strove, to overcome the people in any way; expl. by the words هى المداورة من حيث ماكان. (T, L.) [Perhaps المداورة is a mistake for المُدَارَاة; see 3: the same phrases being explained in the M by دَاَراهُمْ: but there is a near resemblance between the significations of المداورة and المداراة.]3 لاوذ القَوْمُ, (S, L,) inf. n. مُلَاوَذَةٌ and لِوَاذٌ, (S, L, K,) with which تَلْوَاذٌ is syn., (K,) The people had recourse, one to another, for refuge or protection or preservation; sought, or took, refuge, one in another; protected, concealed, defended, or fortified, themselves, one by another. (S, L, K. *) Agreeably with this explanation, (as some say, L,) لِوَاذًا is used in the Kur, xxiv. 63: were it from لَاذَ, it would be لِيَاذًا. (S, L.) b2:  See 1. b3: لاوذ بِهِمْ, inf. n. مُلَاوَذَةٌ, He went round about them, or encompassed them. (Msb.) See also 1. b4:  لاوذهُ, (M, L,) inf. n. مُلَاوَذَةٌ (K) and لِوَاذٌ, (M, L, K,) He circumvented, or deluded, him; (M, L, K; *) syn. رَاوَغَهُ (M, L) inf. n. مُرَاوَغَةٌ.

(M, L.) لاوذ He eluded, and shunned, or avoided, thee: syn. رَاغَ عَنْكَ, and حَادَ Agreeably with this explanation, or as signifying مراوغة, some render لِوَاذًا in the Kur, xxiv. 63.

(L, K.) Agreeably with this explanation, Zj renders لِوَاذًا in the Kur, xxiv. 63; saying  that the meaning which he thus assigns to it is shown to be the true one by the words immediately following. (L.) 4 أَلْوَذَ see 1: b2:  and 3. b3:  الاذ بِهِ غَيْرَهُ [He caused another to have recourse to him or it for refuge or protection or preservation; to seek, or take, refuge in him or it; to protect, conceal, defend, or fortify, himself by him or it: or he protected, concealed, defended, or fortified, another by means of him or it].
