def.2 He paused, stopped, stayed, remained, or tarried, بِا لمَكَانِ in the place; (M, K; * [in the latter explained by تَلَبَّثَ عَلَيْهِ; but this seems to be a mistake, arising from the omission of part of a passage in the M, running thus; تَأَيَّا بِا لمَكَانِ تَلَبَّثَ وَتَمَكَّثَ وَتَأَيَّا عَلَيْهِ ٱنْصَرَفَ فِى تُؤَدَةٍ;]) and confined, restricted, limited, restrained, or withheld, himself. In the sense of its Verbal.Noun, [by rule تَأَىّ, originally تَأَيُّىٌ,] they said تَأَيَّةٌ , or تَإِيَّةٌ or تَئِيَّةٌ; [thus differently written in different places in copies of the T and S;] as in the ex. لَيْسَ مَنْزِلُكُمْ بِدَارِ تَأَيَّةٍ or تَإِيَّةٍ, or لَيْسَ مَنْزِلُكُمْ هٰذَا بِمَنْزِلِ تَأَيَّةٍ or تَإِيَّةٍ, i. e. Your abode, or this your abode, is not an abode of tarriance and confinement.
2 He expected, or waited for, a thing: and he acted with moderation, gently, deliberately, or leisurely; without haste; or with gravity, staidness, sedateness, or calmness; فِى الأَمْرِ in the affair; Verbal.Noun تَأىٍ. تَأَيَّيْتُ عَلَيْهِ, in a verse of Lebeed, means I acted with moderation, &c., as above, and paused, stopped, stayed, remained, or tarried, upon him, i. e., upon my horse: or I remained firm upon him: but it is explained by Lth as meaning I turned away, or back, deliberately, or leisurely, upon him.
