def.2 Hence, أَوَارِىُّ is metaphorically applied to The places (أَحْيَاز) that are made, in shops, for grain and other things: and to the water-tanks, or troughs, in a bath.

def.3 El-'Ajjáj says, describing a [wild] bull, and his covert, وَٱعْتَادَ أَرْبَاضَّا لَهَا آرِىُّ meaning [And he frequented lodging-places] having a firm foundation for the quiet of the wild animals therein [as having been from the first occupied by such animals and unfrequented by men]. — آرِىُّ is also said to signify Land of a kind between even and rugged.
