muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُmaṣdarهَزٌّ هَزْهَزَةٌ
Core sense — he shook it, he set it in motion; he made him brisk, or eagergenerated
1.1he shook it; he put it in motion, or into a state of commotion—هَزَّ بِهِ
[See what is said about this on an example below.]
.
Also هزّزهُ and هزّز بِهِ (maṣdar تَهْزِيزٌ) and هَزْهَزَهُ (): he made it move by pulling and pushing; or he made it move to the right and left. Er-Rāghib: he did so violently.
It is said that هَزَّ is transitive by itself and also by means of بِ, like أَخَذَ and تَعَلَّقَ.
[And shake towards you the trunk of the palm-tree]—وَهُزِّى إِلَيْكِ بِجِذْعِ النَّخْلَةِ
This occurs in the Qur'ān 19:25, where it is transitive in the latter way; that is, حَرِّكِى. But ISd says the verb is here made transitive by means of ب because it is used in the sense of جُرِّى; and MF says that properly it is not transitive by means of ب.
[he shook the sword, etc.]—هَزَّ السَّيْفَ وَغَيْرَهُ
[the wind shook the branches, and the trees]—هَزَّتِ الرِّيحُ الأَغْصَانَ
Also الشَّجَرَ and هَزَّزَتْهَا.
it shook the plants—هَزَّتِ النَّبَاتَ
That is, حَرَّكَت. This expression also has a figurative sense, given below.
1.1.1figurative · مجاز — inferred[literally, I shake my shoulder-blade;] I walk with an elegant, proud, self-conceited gait—أُهُزُّ كَتِفِى
[literally, I shake my shoulder-joint;] I behave with pride and self-conceit—مَنْكِبِى
[literally, he shook his sides at such a thing]—هَزَّ عِطْفَيْهِ لِكَذَا
Apparently meaning: he was active, or prompt, and brisk to do such a thing, or he was rejoiced at such a thing — like اِهْتَزَّ لَهُ. In the same way, هَزَّ مَنْكِبَيْهِ.
[what I saw rejoiced me]—هَزَّ مَا رَأَيْتُ مِنْ عِطْفَى
he made the camels brisk, or sprightly, by his singing to urge them on—هَزَّ الإِبِلَ
Apparently so, according to a gloss cited by De Sacy in his Anthologie Grammaticale Arabe, p. 309; or, as he renders it on p. 286, "ce dont j'étois témoin, réveilla en moi le courage." (Z, in his preface to the Kesh-sháf.)
