س ن ه

سانههُ , inf. n. مُسَانَهَةٌ and سِنَاهٌ ; and سَاناهُ , inf. n. مُسَانَاةٌ ; (K;) or عَامَلَهُ مُسُانَهَةً , and مُسَانَاةً ; (Msb;) He made an engagement, or a contract, with him for work or the like, by the year: (K:) and اِسْتَأْجَرْتُهُ مُسَانَهَةً , and مُسَانَاةً , [I hired him by the year:] (S:) مُسَانَهَةٌ and مُسَانَاةٌ from السَّنَةُ are like مُعَاوَمَةٌ from العَامُ , and مُشَاهَرَةٌ from الشَّهْرُ , and مُرَابَعَةٌ from الرَّبِيعُ , &c. (TA in art. ربع .) ― -b2- سانهت النَّخْلَةُ The palm-tree bore one year and not another; (As, K;) as also عَاوَمَت . (As, TA.)

أَسْنَهَ In this form of the verb, the final radical letter is changed into ت , so that they say أَسْنَتُوا , meaning They experienced drought, or barrenness. (TA. [See also art. سنت .])

تَسَنَّهْتُ عِنْدَهُ , (S,) and تَسَنَّيْتُ عنده , (S, Msb,) I remained, stayed, dwelt, or abode, with him, or at his abode, a year: (Msb:) both signify the same. (TA.) [See also 5 in art. سنو and سنى .] ― -b2- تسنّهت النَّخْلَةُ (assumed tropical:) The palm-tree underwent the lapse of years; (S, Msb;) as also ↓ سَنِهَت : (S:) and in like manner one says of other things. (Msb.) ― -b3- تسنّه said of food and of beverage, (Fr, S, TA,) (assumed tropical:) It became altered [for the worse]; as also ↓ سَنِهَ , aor. سَنَهَ , inf. n. سَنَهٌ : (TA:) or it became altered [for the worse] by the lapse of years: (Fr, S, TA:) and التَّسَنُّهُ in relation to bread and beverage &c. means the becoming mouldy, or musty, or spoiled. (S: and so in some copies of the K and in the TA: in other copies of the K, السَّنِهُ , like كَتِف , is put in the place of التَّسَنُّهُ ; and المُتَكَرِّجُ in the place of the explanation التَّكَرُّجُ .) فَا@نْظُرْ اـِلَى طَعَامِكَ وَشَرَابِكَ لَمْ يَتَسَنَّهْ , in the Kur [ii. 261], means (assumed tropical:) [But look at thy food and thy beverage,] it has not become altered [for the worse] by the lapse of years: (Fr, S, TA:) Az says that this is the right way of reading, by pronouncing the ه in يتسنّه in pausing after it and in continuing without pausing: Ks used to suppress the ه in the latter case and to pronounce it in the former: and Aboo-'Amr EshSheybánee says that the original form [of يَتَسَنَّ ] is يَتَسَنَّنْ ; the like change being made in it as is made in تَظَنَّيْتُ [for تَظَنَّنْتُ ] and in قَصَّيَتُ أَظْفَارِى [for قَصَّصْتُ اظفارى ]. (TA. [See also 5 in art. سنو and سنى , last sentence.])

سَنَةٌ a word of which the final radical letter is rejected, (S, Msb,) and of which there are two dial. vars., (Msb,) being, accord. to some, originally سَنْهَةٌ , (S, Msb,) like جَبْهَةٌ (S) or سَجْدَةٌ , (Msb,) and accord to others, سَنْوةٌ , (S, * Msb,) like شَهْوَةٌ , and upon each of these originals are founded modifications of the word, (Msb,) therefore it is mentioned in the K [and S and other lexicons] in the present art. and again in art. سنو , (TA,) A year; syn. حَوْلٌ ; (Msb;) or عَامٌ : (M, K:) or, as Suh says, in the R, the سَنَة is longer than the عَام ; the latter word being applied to the [twelve] Arabian months [collectively], and thus differing from the former word: (TA:) with the Arabs it consists of four seasons, mentioned before [in art. زمن , voce زَمَنٌ ]: but sometimes it is tropically applied to (tropical:) a single فَصْل [or quarter]; as in the saying, دَامَ المَطَرُ السَّنَةَ كُلَّهَا , meaning [The rain continued] during the فَصْل [or quarter, all of it]: (Msb:) [see more in art. سنو and سنى :] the dim. is ↓ سُنَيْهَةُ (S, Msb) accord. to those who make the original of سَنَةٌ to be سَنْهَةٌ , (Msb,) and ↓ سُنَيَّةٌ (S, Msb) accord. to those who make the original of سَنَةٌ to be سَنْوَةٌ ; (Msb;) and some say سُنَيْنَةٌ , but this is rare: (TA:) the pl. is سَنَهَاتٌ (Msb, K) accord. to those who make the original of سَنَةٌ to be سَنْهةٌ , (Msb,) and سَنَوَاتٌ (Msb, K) accord. to those who make the original of سَنَةٌ to be سَنْوَةٌ ; (Msb;) and سِنُونَ also, (S, Msb, K,) like the masc. perfect pl., (Msb,) [agreeably with a rule applying to other cases of this kind,] with kesr, to the س , (S, TA,) and سِنِينَ [in the accus. and gen. cases], (Msb, TA,) so that one says, هٰذِهِ سِنُونَ [These are years], and رَأَيْتُ سِنِينَ [I saw years], (TA,) and the ن is elided when it is prefixed to another noun, governing the latter in the gen. case, (Msb,) and some say سُنُونَ , with damm to the س ; (S, TA;) and in one dial., the ى is retained in all the cases, and the ن is made a letter of declinability, with tenween when the word is indeterminate, [so that one says سِنِينٌ ,] and is not elided when the word is prefixed to another noun, governing the latter in the gen. case, because it is [regarded as] one of the radical letters of the word; and of this dial. is the saying of the Prophet, اَللّٰهُمَّ ا@جْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينًا كَسِنِينِ يُوسُفَ [O God, make them to be to them years like the years of Joseph]; (Msb; [but in my copy of the Mgh, I find كَسِنِى يُوسُفَ ;]) or with respect to سِنِينٌ , like مِيءِينٌ , with refa [and tenween], there are two opinions; one is, that it is of the measure فِعْلِينٌ , like غِسْلِينٌ , with a rejection [of one letter], though this is an anomalous pl., for there sometimes occurs among pls. that which has no parallel, as عِدًى , and this is the opinion of Akh; the other is, that it is of the measure فَعِيلٌ , changed to فِعِيلٌ because of the kesreh of the second letter; the pl. being in some instances of the measure فَعِيلٌ , like كَلِيبٌ and عَبِيدٌ ; but he who holds this opinion makes its final ن to be a substitute for و , and that of مِايءَةٌ a substitute for ى : (S:) you may also suppress the tenween in سِنِينٌ ; [in which case it seems that one says سِنِينَ in the nom. case (assimilating it to سِنُونَ ) as well as in the accus. and the gen.; like as one does in the instances of بُرِين and بِرِين , pls. of بُرَةٌ , accord. to the K, though, as I have shown in art. برو , there is some doubt on this point;] but the suppression of the tenween in سِنِينٌ is more rare than its pronunciation: (I' Ak p. 18:) and another pl. is سُنِىٌّ , [originally سُنُوٌّ ,] of the measure فُعُولٌ . (Er-Rághib, TA in art. سنو .) The phrase ثَلٰثَ مِايءَةٍ سِنِينَ , in the Kur [xviii. 24], is said by Akh to be for ثَلٰثَمِايءَةٍ مِنَ السِّنِينَ [Three hundred of years]: and he says that if the سِنُون be an explicative of the مِايءَة , it is in the gen. case [to agree with مِايءَةٍ ]; and if an explicative of the ثَلٰث , it is in the accus. case [to agree with ثَلٰثَ ]. (S. [See also Bd on this phrase; and see De Sacy's Ar. Gr., 2nd ed., i. 423.]) [ لِسَنَةٍ , relating to an animal or a plant or the like, means To the completion of a year: and لِسَنَتِهِ , to the completion of his, or its, year; i. e. in his, or its, first year.] And one says, ↓ لَقِيتُهُ مُنْذُ سُنَيَّاتٍ [I met him some years ago; three or more, to ten, years ago]: a phrase like لَقِيتُهُ ذَاتَ العُوَيْمِ . (Az, TA in art. عوم .) And ↓ سُنَيَّةٌ is a dim. of enhancement, of سَنَةٌ : one says سُنَيَّةٌ حَمْرَا=ءُ A severe year of drought or barrenness or dearth: (TA:) and البِيضِ ↓ وَقَعُوا فِى السُّنَيَّاتِ [They lapsed into the severe years of scantiness of herbage]: these were years that pressed hard upon the people of ElMedeeneh. (K, TA.) ― -b2- سَنَةٌ [alone] also signifies (tropical:) Drought, or barrenness: (Msb, K, TA:) or vehement, or intense, drought: (TA in art. سنو :) an instance of a noun used especially in one of its senses, like دَابَّةٌ applied to “ a horse, ” and مَالٌ applied to “ camels: ” pl., in this, as in the former, sense, سَنَهَاتٌ [and سَنَوَاتٌ ] and سِنُونَ and سِنِينٌ . (TA.) One says of a land ( أَرْضٌ ), أَصَابَتْهَا السَّنَةُ (tropical:) Drought, or barrenness, befell it. (Msb.) And in like manner one says of people, أَصَابَتْهُمُ السَّنَهُ (tropical:) [Drought, &c., befell them]. (TA.) A seeker of herbage and of a place in which to alight was sent to a tract, and found it dried up by want of rain, and when he returned, being asked respecting it, he said, السَّنَةُ , meaning (tropical:) Drought, &c. [has befallen it]. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., اَللّٰهُمَّ أَعِنِّى عَلَى مُضَرَبِالسَّنَةِ , i. e. (tropical:) [O God, aid me against Mudar] by drought &c. (TA.) -A2- It is also [used as an epithet,] applied to land ( أَرْضٌ ), as meaning (tropical:) Affected with drought, or barrenness; (As, S, K;) as also ↓ سَنْهَا=ءُ and سَنْوَا=ءُ . (Msb.) One says likewise, هٰذِهِ بِلَادٌ سِنِينٌ (tropical:) These are countries, or tracts, affected with drought &c.: and Et-Tirimmáh says بِمُنْخَرَقٍ تَحِنُّ الرِّيحُ فِيهِ حَنِينَ الحُلْبِ فِى البَلَدِ السِّنِينِ (tropical:) [In a gusty tract, the wind moaning therein like the moaning of the milch ewes or goats (see حَلُوبٌ ) in the country affected with drought, or the countries, &c., بَلَد being regarded as a coll. gen. n. and therefore qualified by a pl., like قَوْمٌ in the phrase قَوْمٌ كَافِرُونَ ]. (TA.)
