1.
, aorist طَنَفَ , (K,) verbal noun طَنَفٌ, (TK,) the verb of الطَّنَفُ signifying التُّهَمَةُ, (K,) [apparently, as such, meaning He was suspicious, agreeably with the rendering of Golius; or he suspected; as is indicated by its being said of طَنِفٌ meaning مُتَّهَمٌ, in the TA, that it is apparently a possessive epithet; for if it were a particle n., طَنِفَ would signify he was suspected; as it is said to do in the TK and by Freytag; in my opinion, erroneously, on the supposition that طَنِفٌ meaning مُتَّهَمٌ is its particle n.]
