إِوَزٌّ

(S, Msb, K) and إِوَزَّةٌ, (S,) or the latter is the n. un. of the former, [which is a coll. gen. n.,] (Msb,) i. q. بَطٌّ [The goose, or geese; and the duck, or ducks; but اوزّ is generally applied to the former of these birds; and بطّ, to the latter; agreeably with a statement in the Jm, that بَطٌّ is applied by the Arabs to the small, and إِوَزٌّ to the large]; (S, K;) as also وَزٌّ, of which the n. un. is وَزَّةٌ: (Msb:) إِوَزٌّ is of the measure فِعَلٌّ: (Msb:) [but see what follows:] the plural is إِوَزُّونَ, (S, Msb, K,) a form which is sometimes used, (S, Msb,) and which is anomalous. (Msb.) [See also كُرْكِىٌّ.]

[Hence,] إِوَزٌّ also signifies (assumed tropical:) Short and thick: (K:) fleshy without being tall: (Lth, TA:) feminine with ة. (TA.) El-'Okberee asserts that the أ is augmentative, because it is followed by three radical letters: (MF, TA:) but ISd says that it is of the measure فِعَلٌّ, and may not be of the measure إِفْعَلٌ, [i. e., originally إِوْزَزٌ,] because this does not occur as the measure of an epithet. (TA.) [It seems, however, that اوزّ is in this case a subst. used tropically as an epithet, after the manner of many nicknames.]

Also, applied to a man, and to a horse, and to a camel, Firm in make: (AHei in the Expos. of the Tes-heel, and TA:) or, applied to a horse, compact and strong in make. (TA.)
