maṣdarأَوْنٌmuḍāriʿيَؤُونُ

Core sense — he was at rest, at ease; he acted gently, without hastegenerated

1.1

He was, or became, at rest, or at ease; he rested in a journey.

1.1.1I enjoyed a life of ease and plenty—أُنْتُ

Muḍāriʿ and maṣdar as above.

A state free from trouble and from toil or fatigue; a state of ease, repose, or calm.

1.1.2

I was, or became, grave, staid, steady, sedate, or calm.

1.1.3I was gentle, or I acted gently, with the thing—أُنْتُ بِالشَّىْءِ

I was, or became, gentle, or I acted gently; I acted, or proceeded, with moderation, without haste, in pace or journeying; I went gently, softly, or in a leisurely manner.

The is formed by substituting أ for ه in هَوْنٌ.

One says عَلَى الشَّىْءِ in the same sense.

I was gentle, or I acted gently, in the affair—فِى الأَمْرِ

Act gently with yourself in pace or journeying; proceed with moderation, without haste—أُنْ عَلَى نَفْسِكَ

[apparently: act with moderation, gentleness, deliberation, or in a leisurely manner, as much as you are able]—أَوِّنْ عَلَى قَدْرِكَ

In the sense of proceeding with moderation, the command is said to one who has become unsteady or irresolute.

It means اِتَّئِدْ عَلَى نَحْوِكَ; both قَدْرٌ and نَحْوٌ are synonymous with مِقْدَارٌ.

Proceed with moderation in your course, or pace, or journeying—أَوِّنُوا فِى سَيْرِكُمْ

He paused, or was patient, in the affair—تَأَوَّنَ فِى الأَمْرِ

Like أَيْنٌ. [Whether it has a verb in this sense is doubtful; see the synonym just mentioned.]

1.2.1

Also the putting oneself to trouble, or inconvenience, for the sake of what one may spend on himself and his family.

Hence, according to one authority [whose name is imperfectly written], the word مَؤُونَةٌ [as being originally مَأْوُنَةٌ] is of the measure مَفْعُلَةٌ; but others say that it is of the measure فَعُولَةٌ, from مَأَنْتُ.

1.3

آنَ أَوْنُكَ and أَوَانُكَ [and أَيْنُكَ] have the same meaning. [See the article اين.]

a time; a season—أَوْنٌ

The second form is mentioned by Ks on the authority of Aboo-Jámiʿ, but the first form is the usual way of pronouncing it.

Plural آوِنَةٌ; but Sb says آوناتٌ [so in one copy of his work; apparently آوِنَاتٌ, as though it were the plural of آوِنَةٌ].

آيِنَةٌ is synonymous with آوِنَةٌ.

shāhid

طَلَبُوا صُلْحَنَا وَلَاتَ أَوَانٍ

; another reading has إِوَانٍ.

According to Abu-l-ʿAbbás, the tanwīn of the last word is not a sign of the genitive case, but stands, as in إِذٍ, because a clause to which the word should be prefixed has been suppressed, as when you say جِئْتُ أَوَانَ قَامَ زَيْدٌ, I came at the time that Zeyd stood.

1.1at that time or season; then—أَوَانَئِذٍ

(AA, T, K.) You say, جَآءَ أَوَانُ البَرْدِ [The time, or season, of cold came]. (T.)

In the saying (of Aboo-Zubeyd, L), 1 (M,) or إِوَانٍ , (L,) [They sought our reconciliation with them, but it was not the time that reconciliation should be sought], accord. to Abu-l- 'Abbás, the tenween of the last word is not a sign of the genitive case, but is, as in the instance of إِذٍ , because of the suppression of a proposition to which the word should be prefixed, as when you say, جِئْتُ أَوَانَ قَامَ زَيْدٌ I came at the time that Zeyd stood. (M, L.) طَلَبُوا صُلْحَنَا وَلَاتَ أَوَانٍ [Hence, أَوَانَئِذٍ At that time or season; then; like حِينَئِذٍ .]
