اناءIV He did the thing not firmly, not soundly, not thoroughly. نيّأ الامر, accord. to the K, signifies the same: but this is unknown, and not authorized by transmission [from the Arabs of the classical ages], and therefore not mentioned by IM nor by other leading lexicographers: the correct phrases are [when the verb is intrans.] ناء الامرُ [and اللحمُ], and [when it is trans.] اناء اللحمَ [and الامر]: the forms of the verb being like بَانَ and أَبَانَ.
2 اناء, (S, incorrectly written in the K أَنْيَأَ, TA,) Verbal.Noun إِنَآءَةٌ, He insufficiently cooked flesh-meat [&c.].
