2.
Also i. q. تَذَبْذَبَ [It moved to and fro; dangled; was, or became, in a state of motion or commotion; said of a thing hanging in the air, &c.; and so ارتجح]. (K.) You say, ترجّحت الأُرْجُوحَةُ The seesaw inclined, [or moved up and down,] (S, K,) بِهِ (K,) i. e., (TA,) بِالغُلَامِ [with the boy], (S, TA,) or بِالغُلَامَيْنِ [with the two boys]. (A. [There mentioned as tropical; but why, I see not.]) And ارتجح He (a boy, TA) inclined, [or moved up and down,] upon a seesaw, (K, TA,) and [moved to and fro] upon a rope, or swing. (TA.) And رَوَادَفُهَا ارتجحت Her posteriors moved to and fro: (K:) and عَلَيْهَا رَوَادِفُهَا تَرْتَجِحُ Her posteriors move to and fro upon her; said of a girl whose posteriors are heavy. (Az, TA.) And الإِبِلُ ارتجحت and ترجّحت The camels had a quivering [or vacillating] motion in going along with short steps. (K.) And فَلَوَاتٌ كَأَنَّهَا تَتَرَجَّحُ بِمَنْ سَارَفِيهَا (assumed tropical:) [Deserts, or waterless deserts, seeming] as though they bandied him who journeyed therein to the right and left. (TA.)
3.
[Hence,] ترجّح بَيْنَ شَيْيءَيْنِ (assumed tropical:) He wavered, or vacillated, between two things; (A in article رنح, and TA;) [and so رجّح, for] التَّرْجِيحُ بَيْنَ شَيْيءَيْنِ is like التَّمْيِيلُ بَيْنهُمَا. (TA in article ميل.) And ترجّح فِى القَوْلِ i. q. تَمَيَّلَ بِهِ (tropical:) [apparently meaning He inclined, in the saying, now this way and now that]. (A, TA.)
