3 مِشْيَةٌ أُنُفٌ A goodly [as though novel] gait, or manner of walking.
4 آتِيكَ مِنْ ذِى أُنُفٍ is like the phrase مِنْ ذِى قَبَلٍ; i. e., فِيمَا يُسْتَقْبَلٌ [I will come to thee in what is to be begun ; meaning, immediately; nearly the same as آنِفًا, but relating to the nearest future time, whereas this latter relates to the nearest past time]. And أَفْعَلُ ذَاكَ مِنْ ذِى أُنُفٍ: i. e., فِيمَا [I will do that in what is to begun &c.]; like مِنْ ذِى عَوْضٍ. (K in art. عوض.)
