أَفْجَى

an epithet, of which the feminine is فَجْوَاءُ. (K, TA.) The latter, applied to a bow, Having its string distant from the part called its كَبِد; (S, K, TA;) as also ↓ فَجُوْءٌ; and so فَجَّاءُ [mentioned in article فج]. (Er-Rághib, TA.)

And the former, (K, TA,) applied to a man, (TA,) Wide between the thighs, or between the knees, or between the shanks: or, applied to a camel, wide between the hocks: (K, TA:) or, according to Az, it signifies having the thighs very wide apart. (TA.) [Freytag adds “ Ventrosus, ” applied to a camel, as from the K, in which I do not find it.] [Accord. to the TA, some of the words of this article have ى for the final radical; but for this distinction there is no reason.]
