اهَةٌ

1.
a subst. from تَأَوَّهَ; occurring in the saying of El-Muthakkib El-'Abdee,
إِذَا مَاقُمْتُ أَرْحَلُهَا بِلَيْلٍ
تَأَوَّهُ اهَةَ الرَّجُلِ الحَزِينِ
[When I arise to saddle her, by night, she moans with the moaning of the sorrowful man]: (S, ISd:) ISd says that, in his opinion, the subst. is here put in the place of the verbal noun, i. e. تَأَوُّه: (TA:) but some recite the verse differently, saying, أَهَّةَ, from أَهَّ meaning تَوَجَّعَ: (S:) and some say, تَهَوَّهُ هَاهَةَ. (TA.) And hence the saying, in imprecating evil on a man, اهَةً لَكَ [May God cause moaning to thee!], and أَوَّةً لَكَ, with the ه suppressed, and with teshdeed to the و. (S.) [See also أَوَّةٌ in article او.] And see اهِ above.
2.
[Also] Measles: thus in the phrase, used in imprecating evil on a man, اهَةً وَمَاهَةً [May God cause] measles and small-pox [to befall thee]! (K, * TA,) mentioned by Lh on the authority of Aboo-Khálid. (TA.)
