You say also, بَزَا عَلَيْهِ, Present.T as above, meaning تطاول [i. e., thus followed by عليه, He held up his head with an assumption of superiority over him; behaved haughtily towards him; exalted himself above him; or overpowered, subdued, or oppressed, him]. And بُزِىَ بِالقَوْمِ The people, or company of men, were overcome, or subdued. And بَزَاهُ, Present.T as above, Verbal.Noun بَزْوٌ, He overcame, or subdued, him; and laid violent hands upon him, or assaulted him; as also ابزى بِهِ: or this last signifies he overcame him, and subdued him: and بَزَاهُ, he wronged him; or treated him wrongfully, or injuriously: and may signify the same; or this may mean he induced him to become أَبْزَى, q. v.: and accord. to Aboo-Riyásh, ابزى signifies he pressed heavily upon his adversary, or imposed on him that which he was unable to do, or to bear, in order to treat him wrongfully, or injuriously. [It is said that] بَزَوَانٌ [an Verbal.Noun of which the verb, if it have one, is بَزَا,] signifies the act of Leaping; syn. وَثْبٌ. (S: [but I think it not improbable that this may have been taken from a mistranscription of نَزَوَانٌ, an Verbal.Noun of نَزَا.])
