حَظِيَّةٌ , applied to a woman in favour with, or beloved by, and in high estimation with, her husband; pl. حَظَايَا. You say, هِىَ [She is my favourite], and إِحْدَيِ حَظَايَايَ [one of my favourites]. For حَظِيَّةٌ, the vulgar say, erroneously, ; [meaning thereby A concubine; in which sense حَظِيَّةٌ is used by late writers;] and making the pl. مَحَاظِى, which is also wrong. Hence the prov., إِلَّا فَلَا أَلِيَّةً, explained in art. الو.
