Full Definition
فَيْنَانٌ
2 And one says also, agreeably with analogy, رَجُلٌ فَيْنَانٌ, and اِمْرَأَةٌ فَيْنَانَةٌ, meaning [A man, and a woman,] having much hair; for فَيْنَان is perfectly decl., derived from أَفْنَانُ الشَّجَرِ: IAar has mentioned اِمْرَأَةٌ فَيْنَى meaning [a woman] having much hair; and if the phrase be thus, فَيْنَان must be imperfectly decl.; but [ISd says] I regard this as a mistake of IAar. [See also art. فين.]
