EaZiymN * Having the quality denoted by the verb EaZuma ; [i. e. great, big, or large; &c.;] (S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ EuZaAmN (S, K, TA) in an intensive sense [i. e. signifying very great &c.], (TA,) and ↓ EuZ~aAmN (K, TA) in a more intensive sense than EuZaAmN [i. e. signifying very very great &c.]: (TA:) or EaZiymN signifies esteemed great &c. by another or others; differing from kabiyrN , which signifies “ great &c. in itself: ” (El-Fakhr Er-Rázee, TA:) or the former is the contr. of HaqiyrN ; [i. e. it signifies of great account or estimation; ] and as HaqiyrN is inferior to SagiyrN , so EaZiymN is superior to kabiyrN ; (Ksh and Bd in ii. 6;) and signifies great, or the like, in comparison with other things of its kind: (Bd ibid:) [it may therefore often be rendered huge, enormous, or vast: used metaphorically, as applied to an object of the intellect, it means great in estimation or rank or dignity; and thus as applied to a man: also of great magnitude or moment or importance: of great gravity: difficult, hard, severe, grievous, distressing, afflictive, troublesome, or burdensome: (see 6:) and formidable, or terrible. (Bd in xxii. 1.) Hence one says, rajulN EaZiymN fiY Almajodi waAlr~aA^oYi (tropical:) [ A man great in respect of glory, honour, dignity, or nobility, and of judgment, or opinion ]. (TA.) And ramaAhu biEaZiymK and ↓ bimuEoZamK (assumed tropical:) [ He reproached him, or upbraided him, with, or he accused him of, a thing, or an act, of great gravity; or an enormity ]: both mean the same. (TA.) [The pl. of EaZiymN is EiZaAmN and, applied to rational beings, EuZamaA='u .] ― -b2- AlEaZiymu as an epithet applied to God is syn. with Alkabiyru [signifying The Incomparably-great ]. (TA.)
