غَذَوِىّ is the lamb (حَمَل), or the kid, that is not nourished with the milk of its mother, but with another's milk; according to which explanation it is different from the غَذِيّ; and so it is according to Az as IF says, some imagine الغَذَوِىُّ to be from الغَذِىُّ, which signifies the
سَخْلَة [as explained in the beginning of this paragraph]. (Msb, TA.) The diminutive of غَذِىٌّ is
