In line with this use of the verb, طَوَاهُ may be rendered he caused it to pass away, or come to an end; he destroyed it; see the ism mafʿūl. And according to Bd, يَوْمَ نَطْوِى ٱلسَّمَآءَ in Kur 21:104 may mean on the day when we shall efface the heaven; but it is better rendered on the day when we shall fold, or roll up, the heaven.

Core sense — the creases and lines of folding; a folding; a stone casing of a wellgenerated

1the lines, or streaks, and creases of the folding of a garment, a written sheet, the belly, fat, the guts, a serpent, and other thingsأَطْوَآءٌ

Originally a maṣdar, of طَوَى.

According to the M, طِىٌّ and طِوَى are singulars of this word. The latter is said in one place to be like إِلَى, but I think that is only said to show that its first vowel is kesr and its second fetḥ, and that it is correctly طِوًى, since there is no reason for it to be imperfectly declinable.

the creases of a serpent, of the guts, of fat, of the belly, and of a garment or piece of clothمَطَاوٍ

So in the T and K; its singular is مَطْوًى, and the word used of these things is أَطْوَآء.

there remained not in the creases of the guts any relic of foodمَا بَقِيَتْ فِى مَطَاوِى أَمَعَائِهَا ثَمِيلَةٌ
the creases of a coat of mail when it is drawn togetherمَطَاوِى الدِّرْعِ
on her forehead are the wrinkles that mark the time for paying the debt of natureعَلَى جَبِينِهَا أَطْوَآءُ النَّجْمِ

That is, طَرَائِقُهُ; جَبِين sometimes means the forehead.

the lines, or creases, of the fat of the hump, in a she-camelأَطْوَآء

That is, the طَرَائِق, the lines or streaks, or perhaps the creases, of the fat of the hump: or the creases, one above another, of the side and of the hump.

Lth says طَرَائِقُ جَنْبِهَا وَسَنَامهَا طَىٌّ فَوْقَ طَىٍّ: the creases of her side and of her hump consist of طَىّ above طَىّ.

the places of bending in the tail of the locustأَطْوَآءٌ

AHn says these are like عُقَد, that is, articulations. The plural of multitude is طِوَى, said to be like إِلَى, though I think it is correctly طِوًى.

1.1figurative · مجازI found such a thing within the folding of the letterوَجَدْتُ فِى طَىِّ الكِتَابِ كَذَا
within the folds of the writings, or lettersفِى أَطْوَآءِ الكُتُبِ

Meaning enclosed or included in it, or among its contents and implications.

Also مَطَاوِيهَا.

rancour, malevolence, malice, or spite is folded up in his heartالغِلُّ فِى طَىِّ قَلْبِهِ
he folded me up within the folding of oblivionأَدْرَجَنِى فِى طَىِّ النِّسْيَانِ
1.2

See also طَوًى.

1.3

And see طَوِىٌّ.

1.4

Also a casing of stones or of baked bricks, and particularly such a casing of a well: a maṣdar used as a noun proper, and often occurring in this sense.

Nounطُوًى1 sense

Core sense — a thing done twice, as though folded; the name of a certain valleygenerated

1

Some say it is like طِوًى, meaning a thing done twice, as though folded, and that it has this sense in the Kur 20:12 and 79:16, meaning twice sanctified, of the valley mentioned there.

It is explained so, and said to be like ثِنًى, in the Ksh and by Bd.

Or, as El-Ḥasan says, twice blessed and sanctified; or it means twice called, referring to the calling of Moses mentioned in the context. Er-Rāghib says much the same.

But طُوَى, as most pronounce it, or طُوًى, in the Kur, is generally held to be the name of a certain valley.

Golius explains طُوًى and طِوًى as meaning 'Plicata, plicabilis, res', which is a mistake; and he adds, 'Ambulatio, incessus reciprocatus, ultro citroque in se rediens'. For this second explanation, both of which he gives on the authority of J and the K, I am quite unable to account.
