2 أُنْتُ, Present.T and Verbal.Noun as above, I enjoyed a life of ease and plenty; a state of freedom from trouble or inconvenience, and toil or fatigue; a state of ease, repose, or tranquillity.
3 I was, or became, grave, staid, steady, sedate, or calm.
4 I was, or became, gentle; or I acted gently: and I acted, or proceeded, with moderation, without haste or hurry, in pace or journeying: I went gently, softly, or in a leisurely manner: أَوْنٌ [the Verbal.Noun] is formed by substitution [of أ for ه] from هَوْنٌ. You say, أُنْتُ بِالشَّىْءِ, and عَلَى الشَّىْءِ, I was gentle, or I acted gently, with the thing; and فِى الأَمْرِ in the affair. And أُنْ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ Act thou gently with thyself, or be thou gentle, in pace or journeying: and proceed thou with moderation, without haste or hurry: said in the latter sense to one who has become unsteady, or irresolute. [In like manner,] you say, عَلَى قَدْرِكَ, meaning اِتَّئِدْ عَلَى نَحْوِكَ [app. Act thou with moderation, gentleness, deliberation, or in a leisurely manner, according to thine ability, or to the measure of thine ability; for قَدْرٌ and نَحْوٌ are both syn. with مِقْدَارٌ]. And فِى سَيْرِكُمْ Proceed ye with moderation in your course or pace or journeying. And فِى الأَمْرِ He paused, or was patient, in the affair.
def.2 أَوْنٌ also signifies The being weary, or fatigued; like أَيْنٌ. [Whether, in this sense, it have a verb, is doubtful: see its syn. here mentioned.]
2 Also The putting oneself to trouble, or inconvenience, for the sake of what one may expend upon himself and his family. And hence, accord. to one [whose name is imperfectly written in the TA], the word مَؤُونَةٌ , [as being originally مَأْوُنَةٌ,] of the measure مَفْعُلَةٌ: but others say that it is of the measure فَعُولَةٌ, from مَأَنْتُ.
def.3 آنَ and أَوَانُكَ [and أَيْنُكَ] signify the same. [See art. اين.]
