بُنُوَّةٌ
Sonship: [it may be originally بُنُويَةٌ, for Az says, app. on the authority of Zj,] it is not a decisive proof that the last radical is و, since they say فُتُوَّةٌ, though the dual [of the word from which this is derived] is فَتَيَانِ; [and ISd says that] بُنُوَّةٌ is thus because of the dammeh.
