(TA.) -A2- See also 1. -A3- And see 2 in art. زنو .

زِنًى , often written زِنًا : see the next paragraph, in two places.

زَنْيَةٌ A single act of الزِّنَى [i. e. fornication or adultery]: (Msb, TA:) and ↓ زِنًى is [used in the same sense, (though properly an inf. n., not of un.,) as is shown by its being] dualized: they say زِنَيَانِ : (TA:) [but this is post-classical:] thus using the dual of زِنًى , the lawyers say, قَذَفَهُ بِزِنَيَيْنِ [He reproached him with two acts of fornication or adultery]: (Msb, TA:) but [in this instance, and] in the saying ↓ شَهِدَ عَلَى زِنَاءَيْنِ , [which is dual of زِنَا=ءٌ , properly an inf. n. like زِنًى ,] or زِنَيَيْنِ , [He testified, or gave decisive information, respecting two acts of fornication or adultery,] the right word is زَنْيَتَيْنِ . (Mgh.) One says also, هُوَ ا@بْنُ زَنْيَةٍ , and sometimes ↓ زِنْيَةٍ , (K,) but the former is the more chaste, (Az, TA,) meaning ↓ ا@بْنُ زِنًى [i. e. He is a son of fornication or adultery]: (K:) or هُوَ وَلَدُ زَنْيَةٍ and ↓ زِنْيَةٍ , (Mgh, Msb,) and لِزَنْيَةٍ [ هُوَ ] and ↓ لِزِنْيَةٍ , (Mgh,) with fet-h and with kesr, [meaning as above, or وُلِدَ لِزَنْيَةٍ He is, or was, born of fornication or adultery,] contr. of وَلَدُ رِشْدَةٍ and لِرِشْدَةٍ , (Mgh,) or contr. of هُوَ لِرِشْدَةٍ : (Msb:) or ↓ هُوَ لِزِنْيَةٍ and لِزَنْيَةٍ , [He is the offspring of fornication or adultery,] contr. of لِرِشْدَةٍ and لِرَشْدَةٍ : (S:) accord. to Fr, one says, هُوَ لِغَيِّةٍ and لِزَنْيَةٍ and لِغَيْرِ رَشْدَةٍ , [all meaning the same, and] all with fet-h: accord. to Ks, however, one may say ↓ زِنْيَة and رِشْدَة , with kesr, but غَيَّة only with fet-h: (TA:) ISk says that زنية and غيّة are both with kesr and fet-h. (Msb.)

زِنْيَةٌ [accord. to analogy signifies A mode, or manner, of fornication or adultery]. See the next preceding paragraph, in five places. -A2- Also The last of a man's children; (K;) like as فِجْرَةٌ signifies the “ last of a woman's children. ” (TA.)

زِنَا=ءٌ [properly an inf. n., but having a dual assigned to it]: see an instance of its dual voce زَنْيَةٌ

زِنَوِىٌّ [meaning Of, or relating to, fornication or adultery] is the rel. n. from زِنًى ; (S, Msb;) the [radical] ى being changed into و because three ى s are deemed difficult of pronunciation: (Msb:) and the rel. n. from زِنَا=ءٌ [having the same meaning] is ↓ زِنَا=يءِىٌّ . (S.)

زِنَايءِىٌّ : see what next precedes.

زَنَّا=ءَةٌ an appellation applied to A female ape ( قِرْدَةٌ ). (S.)
