Full Definition
عُنَانَاكَ
means The utmost of thy power, or ability, or of thy case: so in the saying, عُنَانَاكَ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا [The utmost of thy power, &c., is, or will be, thy doing such a thing]: as though from
المُعَانَّةُ ; the case being that thou desirest to do a thing, and an obstacle intervenes in the way to it, preventing thee and withholding thee from it: but it is disputed whether it be correctly thus, or غُنَامَاكَ.
