Full Definition

صَغًا an Verbal.Noun of صَغِىَ [q. v.]: and also [used as] a simple subst. [meaning Inclination]. One says, أَقَامَ صَغَاهُ [He rectified] his inclination. And مَعَكَ and , and صَغَاهُ, i. e. His inclination [is with thee, meaning, is agreeable with thine]. In [some of] the copies of the K صَغْوُهُ and صِغْوُهُ are written صَغْوَةٌ and صِغْوَةٌ, which would lead the inadvertent to imagine these two words to be syn. with the word there next preceding, namely, صَغْوَآءُ as an epithet applied to the sun.
