أَوَّةٌ
1.
[A moaning (see its synonym اهَةٌ in article اوه)] is said by some to be of the measure فَعْلَةٌ, in which the ة is the sign of the feminine gender; for they say, سَمِعْتُ أَوَّتَكَ [I heard thy moaning], making it ت: and so says Lth; أَوَّةٌ is after the manner of فَعْلَةٌ: (T:) you say, أَوَّةً لَكَ [May God cause moaning to thee!], (Lth, T, and S in article اوه,) and اهَةً لَكَ: [but according to J, the former of these is cognate with the latter; for he says that] the former is with the ه suppressed, and with teshdeed to the و. (S in article اوه, where see اهَةٌ.)
