(ISh and TA in art. اوى . See 2 in that art. in the present work.) You say, ا=هِ مِنْ كَذَا [Ah, or alas, on account of, or for, such a thing!]; (S, Msb;) and in like manner, أَوْهِ [&c.], followed by مِنْ , and by لِ , (S, TA,) and by عَلَى . (TA.)

(TA.) And hence the saying, in imprecating evil on a man, ا=هَةً لَكَ [May God cause moaning to thee!], and أَوَّةً لَكَ , with the ه suppressed, and with teshdeed to the و . (S.) [See also أَوَّةٌ in art. او .] And see ا=هِ above. -A2- [Also] Measles: thus in the phrase, used in imprecating evil on a man, ا=هَةً وَمَاهَةً [May God cause] measles and small-pox [to befall thee]! (K, * TA,) mentioned by Lh on the authority of Aboo-Khálid. (TA.)
