ت, (S, M,) to distinguish between this verb and
اسنى in the sense expl. above. (S. [See art.
سنت.]) 5
تسنّى : see 2, in two places. ― -b2- Also i. q.
رقى

تسنّى
فُلَانًا [He sought to please, content, or satisfy, such a one;
or he pleased, contented, or satisfied, such a one, after striving,
labouring, or toiling]: (K:) but it is said in the M, [app. a
mistake, perhaps for the T, for in the M I do not find it,] that
سنيت
فلانا [by which may be meant either ↓
سَنَيْتُ or ↓
سَنَّيْتُ ] means
ترضّيته. (TA.) -A4-
تَسَنَّيْتُ

أَقَمْتُ

تسنّى signifies also It became altered [for the worse], (S, K,
TA,) accord. to Er-Rághib, so that it lost its freshness, by the lapse of

28 and 33]
مِنْ
حَمَأٍ
مَسْنُونٍ; one of the
نs being changed into
ى; and is similar to
تَقَضَّى for

اِسْتَنَوْا
لِأَنْفُسِهِمْ : see 1. -A2-
استنى
النَّارَ He looked at the light of the fire. (IAar, M.)
سَنًا
ذ Light: (Msb, MF:) or the light of lightning, (S, M, K,)
and of fire: (M:) or the point, or extremity, of the light of
lightning: (T, TA:) or light shining or gleaming, or
diffusing itself and rising: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or a high light: and
applied also to the shining, or gleaming, of weapons: (Ham p.
271:) MF says that the apparent particularization in the K [&c.] seems to have
been taken from the verse of the Kur [xxiv. 43], and that the word is correctly
a general term, meaning as expl. in the Msb: (TA:) [it is originally
سَنَوٌ, though mentioned in the K as belonging to art.
سنى; for] the dual is
سَنَوَانِ: As knew not a verb belonging to it. (TA.) -A2- Also [The
cassia senna of Linn.; the common senna of medicine; so called in the
present day; and also called
سَنَامَكَّة, and
سَنَا
حِجَازِىّ;] a certain plant, (S, M, Msb, K,) used as a medicine;
(S, TA;) and recommended in a trad.; (TA;) an attenuant of the yellow bile
and the black bile and the phlegm, (K, TA,) howsoever used; (TA;)
[and] used as a collyrium; (M;) AHn describes it as a shrub, or
small tree, of the [class called]
أَغْلَاث [pl. of
غَلَثٌ], which is mixed with
حِنَّآء, and improves and strengthens its colour, and blackens it; and
which has a fruit of such kind that, when it dries up, and is put in motion by
the wind, it causes to be heard a sound such as is termed
زَجَل [q. v.]: (M in arts.
سنو and
سنى, and TA:) its name is as above and ↓
سَنَآءٌ : (M, K:) and the n. un. is
سَنَاةٌ and
سَنَآءَةٌ: (M in arts.
سنو and
سنى:) the dual of
سَنًا is
سَنَيَانِ, and some say
سَنَوَانِ. (M in art.
سنى.) [Accord. to a gloss. in a copy of the S, as stated by Golius, the dual
سَنَوَانِ is applied to The leaves of cyprus (or
حِنَّآء) and senna mixed together, with which the hair is dyed
black.] In the phrase
سَنَا
المِسْكِ, in a verse of El-Jaadee, the plant [above mentioned] may be meant,
as though it were mixed with musk: or it may be from
سَنًا signifying “ light; ” because the diffusion of odour is like that of
light. (M.) -A3-
سَنَا, (JM,) or
سَنَا
سَنَا, (TA,) without teshdeed, and also with tesh-deed, to the
ن, is an Abyssinian expression, meaning
حَسُنَ [q. v.], (JM, TA,) occurring in a trad. of Umm-Khálid; but it is
differently related; some saying
سَنَهْ
سَنَهْ; and some,
سَنَان; and pronouncing each with, as well as without, teshdeed: so in the
Nh. (TA.)
طَعَامٌ
سَنٍ [Food, or wheat,] that has undergone the
lapse of years; as also
سَنِهٌ. (AZ, TA in art.
سنه.)
سَنَةٌ , applied to a portion of time, (M,) signifying A year,
syn.
حَوْلٌ, (Mgh,) or
عَامٌ, (K,) but a distinction is made between
عَامٌ and
سَنَةٌ, [as has been stated in art.
سنه,] (TA,) belongs to arts.
سنو and
سنه [in both of which it is mentioned in many of the lexicons: see what has
been said respecting it in art.
سنه in the present work]: (M:) accord. to Suh, in the R, it is from
سَنَا, aor.
يَسْنُو, said of a beast [turning a water-wheel], meaning “ he turned round
about the well; ” so that it signifies a single revolution of the sun;
and it is sometimes termed
دَارٌ: he says also that it is longer than the
عَام, which is applied to the [twelve] Arabian months [collectively]: but
سَنَةٌ is also applied to twelve revolutions of the moon: the
سَنَة
شَمْسِيَّة [or solar year] is three hundred and sixty-five days
and a quarter of a day: and the
سَنَة
قَمَرِيَّة [or lunar year] is three hundred and fifty-four days
and a third of a day: it is also said, on the authority of Er-Rághib, that
سَنَةٌ is used as denoting a year in which is difficulty, and drought, or
barrenness, or dearth; and
عَامٌ, as denoting that in which is ampleness of the means, or
circumstances, of life, and abundance of herbage or the like; and by this is
explained the nice point in the words of the Kur [xxix. 13],
أَلْفَ
سَنَةٍ
إِِلَّا
خَمْسِينَ
عَامًا [a thousand years save fifty years]; because the fifty years
passed before the mission of the prophet [Noah], before which no harm happened
to him from his people; but after his mission, the years were difficult to him.
(TA.) [Respecting the dims., (which are
سُنّيَّةٌ and
سُنَيْهَةٌ, the former accord. to those who make the original of
سَنَةٌ to be
سَنْوَةٌ, and the latter accord. to those who make it to be
سَنْهَةٌ,) and the pls., (which are
