3 اثنى, (Verbal.Noun إِثْنَآءٌ, TA,) He shed his tooth called the ثَنِيَّة; he became what is termed ثُنِىّ; said of a camel [&c.]: he shed his رَوَاضِع [pl. of رَاضِعَة which is the same, in this case, as ثَنِيَّة]; said of a horse [&c.].
def.2 اثنى عَلَيْهِ, Verbal.Noun إِثْنَآءٌ; and ثنّى , Verbal.Noun تَثْنِيَةٌ, accord. to the K, but this is a mistake for , Verbal.Noun تَثْبِيَةٌ; He praised, eulogized, commended, or spoke well of, him: and he dispraised, censured, discommended, or spoke ill of, him: the object is either God or a man: or it has the former meaning only: or the former meaning is the more common: accord. to IAar, اثنى signifies he spoke, or said, well, or good; and ill, or evil; and انثى, “he defamed,” or “did so in the absence of the object;” and “he disdained, scorned, shunned, disliked, or hated,” a thing: and you say, اثنى عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا [He spoke, or said, well, or good, of him]; and شَرًّا [ill, or evil], also. One says also, أَثْنَيْتُ فِعْلَهُ [I praised his deed]; meaning عَلَى فِعْلِهِ; or because أَثْنَى means مَدَحَ.
