2 Also He inclined to suspicion, or evil opinion: and sometimes pronounced أَطْنَأَ.

def.2 اطناهُ He hit him in that which was not a vital part. (K, TA. In some copies of the K, فِى المَقْتَلِ is [erroneously] put for فِى غَيْرِ المَقْتَلِ.) And, said of a disease, It left him with somewhat of life remaining in him. One says, هٰذِهِ حَيَّةٌ لَا تُطْنِى This is a serpent that will not suffer him who is bitten by it to survive; that kills instantly: or that will not miss: originally لا تُطْنِئُ. And ضَرَبَهُ ضَرْبَةً لَا تُطْنِى He struck him a blow that would not be slow in killing him. And لَدَغَتْهُ حَيَّةٌ فَأَطْنَتْهُ [A serpent bit him and suffered him to survive]. And the subst. [used in the sense of the Verbal.Noun] from this verb as expl. in all these phrases is طَنًى .
