Full Definition

تَسَنَّحَV see 10.

def.2 تَسَنَّجْ مِنَ الرِّيحِ means اِسْتَذْرِمِنْهَا [i. e. Shelter thyself from the wind]: so says Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee. (O [and so, probably, in correct copies of the K: in my MS. copy of the K, اِسْتَدْرِ منها: in the CK, اِسْتَدِرْ منها: in the TA, strangely, استدَّر منها, and expl. as meaning اُطْلُبْ منها الدَّرَّ: in the TK, استدبر منها, and expl. as meaning ولّها ظهرك: Freytag, app. having to choose only between the reading in the CK and that in the TK, has followed the latter, without mentioning their disagreement; though, if the meaning were “ turn thy back towards the wind, ” the explanation should be اِسْتَدْبِرْهَا, not اسْتَدْبِرْمِنْهَا].)
