Full Definition

أَخَّيْتُII , or الدَّابَّةَ, Verbal.Noun تَأْخِيَةٌ, I made an آخِيَّة [q. v.] for the beast, and tied the beast therewith; [and so, app., (which, if correct, is probably of the measure أَفْعَلْتُ); for it is related that] an Arab of the desert said to another, لِى آخِيَّةً أَرْبِطُ إَلَيْهَا مُهْرِى [Make thou for me an آخيّة to which I shall tie my colt]. And you say, فُلَانٌ فِى فُلَانٍ آخِيَّةً فَكَفَرَهَا Such a one did a benefit to such a one, and he was ungrateful for it. [But perhaps آخِ and آخَى in these two exs. are mistranscriptions for أَخِّ and أَخَّى.]
