The people's cattle became lean, or emaciated; like اصوى القوم. (IKtt, TA in art. صوى.)
2 And He had offspring such as is termed ضَاوِىّ born to him: and in like manner اضوت is said of a woman [as meaning she brought forth such offspring]; or she brought forth a boy such as is so termed. اِغْتَرِبُوا وَلَا تُضْوُوا, occurring in a trad., means Marry ye among women that are remote in respect of relationship, and not among the relations of your paternal uncles, or and not among your near relations, lest your offspring be such as is termed ضَاوِىّ: for the Arabs assert that a man's offspring from his near relation is meagre, though generous, of the nature of his people.
def.2 اضواهُ He rendered it weak. You say, اضوى الأَمْرَ
2 And اضواهُ حَقَّهُ
def.3 اضواهُ اللَّيْلُ إِلَيْهِ The night made him to have recourse, or to betake himself, to him for protection, or refuge.
