Full Definition
2 المُرَاوَحَةُ فِى العَمَلَيْنِ, or بَيْنَ العَمَلَيْنِ, signifies The doing the two deeds, or works, alternately; this one time, and that one time: as, for instance, reading, or reciting, at one time, and writing at another time: and المراوحة بين الرِّجْلَيْنِ the standing upon the two legs alternately; upon each in turn: and المراوحة بين الجَنْبَيْنِ the turning over [upon the two sides alternately, or] from side to side. You say, راوح بَيْنَ عَمَلَيْنِ [He did two deeds, or works, alternately; he alternated them]. And راوح بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهِ He stood upon one of his legs one time and upon the other another time: it is said also of one walking [as meaning he moved his legs alternately]. And it is said in a trad., كَانَ يُرَاوِحُ بَيْنَ قَدَمَيْهِ مِنْ طُولِ القِيَامِ He used to rest upon one of his feet one time and upon the other another time to give relief to each of them [in consequence of long standing]. One says also, راوحهُ He did a thing with him by turns, each of them taking his turn [and so relieving the other: for المُرَاوَحَةُ signifies the giving mutual relief, or rest]. (TA in art. عقب.) [See also 6.]
