إِوَزَّي

Full Definition

إِوَزَّي A manner of walking in which is a moving up and down: or leaning on one side; [the latter omitted in the CK;] at one time on the right and at another on the left [like a goose or duck]: and the walk of a sprightly horse. Az says that it may be of the measure إِفْعَلَى, [i. e., originally إِوْزَزَّى,] or فِعَلَّى; but Abu-l-Hasan holds the latter to be the more correct, because it is the measure of many words relating to walking; as جِيَضَّى, and دِفَقَّى.
