1 Hasuna Hsn Hsnn , (S, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.,) which may also be written and pronounced Hasona , with the dammeh suppressed, (S,) and Hasana , (K,) aor. Hasuna , (TA,) inf. n. HusonN (S, * Msb, K, * TA) and HusonaY , (Ham p. 657, and Bd in ii. 77,) He, or it (a thing, S, Msb), had, or possessed, the quality termed HasonN [which see below; i. e., was, or became, good, or goodly, (generally the latter,) beautiful, comely, or pleasing, &c.; and ↓ tHs~n often signifies the same, as in the phrase tHs~n Einodahu it was, or became, good, &c., in his estimation ]: (S, K, TA:) and [in like manner] zayodN ↓ A^aHosana means Zeyd became possessed of Huson . (Mughnee in art. bi .) ― -b2- One may not say Husona , transferring the dammeh of the s to the H and making the former letter quiescent, except in one case; because it is [virtually, together with its agent expressed or implied, in this case,] a predicate: [see I'Ak p. 234:] this is allowable only in the case of a verb of praise or dispraise; Husona , in respect of the transference of the medial vowel, being likened to niEoma and biy^osa , which are originally naEima and bay^isa : and thus one does in all verbs like these two in meaning: a poet says, lamo yamonaEi Aln~aAsu min~iY maA A^aradotu wa maA A^uEoTiyhimu maA A^araAduwA Husona *aA A^adabaA [Men have not withheld from me what I have desired, nor do I give them what they have desired: good, or very good, is this as a mode of conduct! ]: meaning Hasuna h`*aA A^adabFA . (S, TA.) You say also, Hasuna zayodN , [meaning Good, or goodly, &c., or very good &c., is Zeyd! or] meaning bihi ↓ A^aHosino [i. e. how good, or goodly, &c., is Zeyd! as also ↓ maA A^aHosanahu ]. (B, TA in art. bi .)
