Full Definition

حَايَيْتُIII , (Verbal.Noun مُحَايَاةٌ, TA,) i. q. [i. e. I gave life to, enlivened, or revived, the fire] by blowing. [See also 2 in art. رهب; where a similar meaning is assigned to the former verb; but perhaps it is there a mistranscription.] مُحَايَاةٌ also signifies Nourishment (غِذَآء [which is properly speaking a subst., but seems to be here used as an Verbal.Noun,]) for, or of a child, with that whereby is his life, or, as in the M, because thereby is his life.
