تحوّب

Root: حوب

Form: 5

Full Definition

تحوّبV He abstained from, shunned, or avoided, sin, or crime; put it away from himself: he applied himself to acts, or exercises, of devotion; became devout, or a devotee. Here the form تَفَعَّلَ is deprived of the radical signification, as in the cases of the syn. words تَأَثَّمَ and تَحَنَّثَ; though its property is oftener to confirm the radical signification. (TA. [See تحنّث.]) You say, تحوّب مِنْ كَذَا He abstained from such a thing as a sin, or crime.
2 He humbled himself in his prayer, or supplication.
3 He expressed pain, grief, or sorrow; lamented, or complained. And تحوّب مِنْ كَذَا He was enraged, and expressed pain or grief or sorrow, or lamented, or complained, by reason of such a thing.
4 He cried out, expressing pain or grief or sorrow, or lamenting, or complaining: he cried aloud, or vehemently, in prayer, or supplication. He wept, in impatience, or sorrow, and with loud crying: and sometimes, in a general sense, he cried out, or aloud,
5 He cried, or howled: because his cry is like that of a person expressing pain or grief or sorrow, or lamenting, or complaining, as though he were writhing from the pain of hunger or beating.
