Full Definition

مُسْوٍ [act. part. n. of 4]. One says in answer to him who asks, “ How have ye entered upon the morning? ” or “ How have ye entered upon the evening? ” مُسْوُونَ صَالِحُونَ [as enunciatives of نَحْنُ understood], or صَالِحِينَ [as enunciatives of أَصْبَحْنَا or أَمْسَيْنَا understood, but I think that مُسْتَوِينَ is a mistranscription for مُسْوِينَ], meaning In a good, right, state, with respect to our children and our cattle.
