One who moans; who utters a moaning, or prolonged voice of complaint; or who says Ah; much, or frequently; as also
أُنَانٌ and
أُنَنَةٌ : or this last signifies one who publishes complaint, or makes it public, much, or frequently: or one who talks and grieves and complains much, or frequently; and it has no verb derived from it: and you say, رَجُلٌ أُنَنَةٌ قُنَنَةٌ, [in which the latter epithet is app. an imitative sequent to the former,] meaning an eloquent man. The fem. of أَنَّانٌ is with ة: and is said to be applied to a woman who moans, or says Ah, and is affected with compassion, for a dead husband, on seeing another whom she has married after the former. [See also حَنَّانَةٌ, voce حَنَّانٌ.]
