عَائِهٌ and عَاهٌ are like مَائِهٌ and مَاهٌ, and رَجُلٌ عاه is like كَبْشٌ ضانٌ [so in my original, but correctly عَائِهٌ and ضَائِنٌ: both app. mean A man having some moral bane or malady]: accord. to IAar, عَاهُونَ [the pl. of عَاهٌ] signifies persons having in them what occasions suspicion, and what is evil, or corrupt.
