Full Definition
[When I arise to saddle her, by night, she moans with the moaning of the sorrowful man]: ISd says that, in his opinion, the subst. is here put in the place of the Verbal.Noun, i. e. تَأَوُّه: but some recite the verse differently, saying, أَهَّةَ, from أَهَّ meaning تَوَجَّعَ: and some say, تَهَوَّهُ هَاهَةَ. And hence the saying, in imprecating evil on a man, آهَةً لَكَ [May God cause moaning to thee!], and أَوَّةً لَكَ, with the ه suppressed, and with teshdeed to the و. [See also أَوَّةٌ in art. او.] And see آهِ above.إِذَا مَاقُمْتُ أَرْحَلُهَا بِلَيْلٍ تَأَوَّهُ آهَةَ الرَّجُلِ الحَزِينِ
def.2 [Also] Measles: thus in the phrase, used in imprecating evil on a man, آهَةً وَمَاهَةً [May God cause] measles and small-pox [to befall thee]! mentioned by Lh on the authority of Aboo-Khálid.
