إِيَّا

: see article ايا. [Az says,] I have not heard any derivation of إِيَّا; but I think, without being certain, that it is from تَايَيْتُهُ as explained above; as though it were a noun from that verb, of the measure فِعْلَى, like ذِكْرَى from ذَكَرْتُ; so that the meaning of إِيَّاكَ is I direct myself, or my aim, to, or towards, thee, and thy person.
