Full Definition
نَحِيحٌ
[Very niggardly, or avaricious]: the latter word is an imitative sequent: or it is a corroborative syn. of the former: as though meaning one who when asked for something, disliking to give it, has recourse to a pretence, and makes a reiterated breathing [or humming in his throat] as a feint to hide his unwillingness. [See also نَحَانِحَةٌ.]
