ـُ; and أَنُسَ, Present.T
ـُ; Verbal.Nounأَنَسٌ and أَنَسَةٌ, both of أَنِسَ, or إِنَسٌ, also of أَنِسَ, but this is rare, and أُنْسٌ, which is the more common, and is of أَنَسَ, or أُنْسٌ has a different signification from إِنْسٌ the Verbal.Noun of أَنِسَ, [see أُنْسٌ below,] or it is a subst. from أَنِسَ بِهِ, and أُنْسَةٌ; [but this also is probably a subst.;] one says أُنْسٌ and أُنْسَةٌ, like as one says بُعْدٌ and بُعْدَة; He was, or became, sociable, companionable, conversable, inclined to company or converse, friendly, amicable, or familiar, with him, or by means of him, and to him: and [انس به] he was, or became, cheered, or gladdened, by his company or converse, or by his, or its, presence; or cheerful, gay, or gladsome: the Verbal.Noun signifying the contr. ofوَحْشَةٌ: or he was, or became, at ease, or tranquil, with him: or his heart was, or became, at ease, or tranquil, with him; without shrinking, or aversion: and استأنس بِهِ, and إِلَيْهِ, and بِهِ, signify the same, i. e., the same as أَنِسَ and أَنَسَ and أُنُسَ: أَنِسَ بِفُلَانٍ is likewise explained as signifying he delighted, or rejoiced, in such a one; he was happy, or pleased, with him: [and
آنسهُ, a form of frequent occurrence, Verbal.Nounمُؤَانَسَةٌ, which occurs in this art. in the TA, also signifies he was, or became, sociable, &c., with him; like أَنِسَ بِهِ &c.: it is also said in the TA that أَنِسَ بِهِ and بِهِ are syn., meaning, app., like استأنس and تأنّس به, and that آنس in this case is therefore of the measure فَاعَلَ; but this admits of some doubt, as it is said immediately after آنسهُ as meaning the contr. of أَوْحَشَهُ:] and
استأنس, said of a wild animal, signifies [he became familiar, or tame, or domesticated; or] his wildness (تَوَحُّشُهُ) departed: you say إِذَا جَآءَ اللَّيْلُ ٱسْتَأْنَسَكُلُّ وَحْشِىٍّ وَٱسْتَوْحَشَ كُلُّ إِنْسِىٌ [When the night comes, every wild animal becomes familiar with his kind, and every human being becomes shy of his kind, i. e., of such thereof as he does not know, when meeting them in the dark]. (A, TA, Msb in art. وحش.)
