From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root لحن. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

لَحَنَ He erred in speech; spoke incorrectly. (Msb.) ― -b2- لَحَنَ لَهُ He said to him something which he (the latter) understood, but which was unintelligible to others: (Az, S, Msb, K:) he intimated to him something which he (the latter) alone understood.

لَاحَنَهُمْ i. q. فَاطَنَهُمْ . (S, K.) See an ex. voce جَامِعٌ ; and see my explanations of مُفَاطَنَةٌ .

لَحْنٌ The meaning of speech; its intended sense or import: (S, K, TA:) its intent: (TA:) [it is direct: and also indirect:] an indication thereof whereby the person addressed is made to understand one's intent; so says Az (Msb: [and the like is said in the TA on the authority of AHeyth:]) an oblique, or ambiguous, mode of speech: (Msb:) an inclining of speech to obliqueness, or ambiguity, and equivocal allusion. (Bd, in xlvii. 32.) ― -b2- A barbarism, an incorrect word. ― -b3- عَرَفْتُهُ فِى لَحْنِ كَلَامِهِ and فى نَحْوِ كلامه . and فى مِعْرَاضِ كلامه signify the same. (Msb in art. عرض .) See the last of these voce عَرُوضٌ . ― -b4- لَحْنٌ A modulated sound; expl. as being مِنَ الأَصْوَاتِ المَصُوغَةِ المَوْضُوعَةِ : pl. أَلْحَانٌ and لُحُونٌ . (K.) You say, أَلْحَانُ الأَغَانِى [The modulated sounds of songs]. (Mgh.)
