2 سُوِّسَ الرَّجُلُ أُمُورَ النَّاسِ, or أَمْرَ النَّاسِ, or أَمْرَ قَوْمِهِ, The man was made ruler of the affairs of the people; [or of the affairs of his people, accord. as the phrase is given in the A:] or was made king. Accord. to a relation of a verse of El-Hotei-ah, he uses the expression سَوَّسْتَ أمْرَ بَنِيكَ [as though meaning Thou hast ruled the affairs of thy sons]; but Fr says that سَوَّسْتَ is a mistake. (S. [Thus I find it in one copy of the S: but in another copy of the S, I find سَوَّسْتِ, which is clearly wrong; and in the TA, سُوِّسْتَ, which Fr can hardly be supposed to have disallowed.])

You say, سَوَّسَ فُلَانٌ لَهُ أَمْرًا فَرَكِبَهُ [Such a one made an affair easy to him, or, perhaps, commended it to him by making it seem easy, and so he embarked in it, or undertook it]: like as you say, سَوَّلَ لَهُ, and زَيَّنَ لَهُ.
