غ و ث

غوّث , (S, K,) inf. n. تَغْوِيثٌ ; (K;) and ↓ استغاث ; (TA;) He cried out, (TA,) and said, (S, K,) ↓ وَا غَوْثَاهُ (S, K, TA) [Alas! a cry for aid, or succour! also pronounced وا غَوْثَاهِ (accord. to one of my copies of the S) and وا غَوْثَاهْ ]. You say, ضُرِبَ فُلَانٌ فَغَوَّثَ Such a one was beaten, and cried وا غوثاه . (TA.) This is declared by the leading grammarians to be the primary signification of غوّث : then they used it as meaning He cried out, or called, desiring, or demanding, aid, or succour. (MF.) -A2- See also غَوِيثٌ .

اغاثهُ , (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. اـِغَاثَةٌ (Msb, K) and ↓ مَغُوثَةٌ [which is anomalous], (K,) He aided, or succoured, him; (Msb;) He (i. e. God, Msb) removed from him trouble, or affliction: (Msb, TA:) ↓ غَاثَهُ , aor. يَغِيثُهُ , is used in the sense of اغاثهُ , but is rare, and is said [by some] to be from الغَيْثُ , not الاـِغَاثَةُ : غاثهُ , aor. يَغُوثُهُ , is mentioned by Az as not heard by him from any one; but ISd mentions غاثهُ , inf. n. غَوْثٌ and غِيَاثٌ , though saying that اغاثهُ is more approved. (TA.) And one says also, أَغَاثَنَا المَطَرُ (assumed tropical:) [The rain gave us relief]. (Msb.)

تَغَاوَثُوا , accord. to Freytag, appears to be used in the Deewán of the Hudhalees as signifying They said, one to another, وَا غَوْثَاهُ : -A2- and تغاوث as syn. with أَغَاثَ .]

استغاثهُ , (S, O, Msb, K,) and استغاث بِهِ , (O, Msb, TA,) the latter disallowed by some, but used by Sb, (TA,) He sought, desired, or demanded, aid, or succour, of, or by means of, him, or it; he sought, &c., [or called for,] his aid, or succour. (O, MF, TA.) ― -b2- See also 2. [Hence, استغاث العُودُ (assumed tropical:) The lute sent forth plaintive sounds: a modern phrase.]

غَوْثٌ and ↓ غُوَاثٌ and ↓ غَوَاثٌ , (S, K,) the last deviating from the common course of speech, (K, TA,) with respect to analogy, as will be seen from what follows, (TA,) A cry for aid, or succour. (S, K, KL, PS.) One says, أَجَابَ ا@للّٰهُ ↓ دُعَا=ءَهُ وغُوَاثَهُ and ↓ غَوَاثَهُ [God answered his prayer, and his cry for aid]. (Fr, S.) ↓ غَوَاثٌ is said by Fr to be the only word significant of a sound, or cry, having fet-h [to the first letter]; other words of this kind being with damm, as بُكَا=ءٌ and دُعَا=ءٌ , or with kesr, as نِدَا=ءٌ and صِيَاحٌ . (S.) See also 2. ― -b2- And see غِيَاثٌ .

غُوَاثٌ : see غَوْثٌ , in two places: ― -b2- and see also the paragraph here following.

غِيَاثٌ , (S, Msb, K, &c.,) in which the و is changed into ى because of the kesreh preceding it, (S,) a form disapproved by some of the lexicographers, but several others assign to it priority, (MF,) a subst. from أَغَاثَهُ , (S, Msb, K, &c.,) as also ↓ غَوَاثٌ , ascribed by Ibn-Hajar to the majority, and ↓ غُوَاثٌ , mentioned on the authority of Aboo-Dharr, (MF,) and ↓ غَوْثٌ ; (Msb;) signifying Aid, or succour; (Msb;) or deliverance from difficulty, distress, or adversity, and [from] revenge; and aid to release from difficulties, distresses, or adverse circumstances. (MF.) In the T, الغِيَاثُ is expl. as signifying That with which God aids, or succours, one. (TA.) ― -b2- And غِيَاثٌ signifies also An aider, or a succourer: you say, فُلَانٌ غِيَاثُنَا Such a one is our aider, or succourer; i. q. ↓ مُغِيثُنَا : (TA in art. نور :) and God is said to be غِيَاثُ المُسْتَغِيثِينَ [The Aider of the seekers of aid].
