2 And you say, عَذُوَتِ الأَرْضُ and عَذِيَت أَحْسَنَ العَذَاةِ or العَذَآءَةِ. (So accord. to different copies of the K [in which what immediately precedes app. indicates that the meaning is, The land was such as is termed عَذَاة, in the best degree; so that العَذَاة or العَذَآءَة, the former of which is the reading in the T, is the Verbal.Noun: but accord. to the TK, عَذُوَتِ الأَرْضُ, having for its Verbal.Noun عَذَاوَةٌ, and عَذِيَت, having for its Verbal.Noun عَذًى, mean, without any addition, كَانَتْ أَحْسَنَ العَذَاةِ i. e. the land was the best of what is termed عَذَاة].)
