1. رَوْعٌ
rawoEN * [see 1, of which it is an inf. n. ― -b2- ] Fright, or fear; (S, K;) as also ↓ rawEN [accord. to some, but this seems to be little known]. (TA.) Hence the saying, A^aforaxa rawoEuhu His fright, or fear, departed. (S.) Az says, All the lexicologists whom I have met say A^aforaxa rawoEuhu , with fet-h to the r [in rwEh ], except El-Mundhiree, who informs me that AHeyth used to say, It is only ↓ Afrx rawoEuka , with damm. (TA.) Accord. to different relations of a trad., you say, ↓ A^aforaxa ruwEuka , meaning Fright, or fear, hath departed from thy heart; or may fright, or fear, depart from thy heart; (K, TA;) thus expl. by AHeyth; (TA;) and Afrx rawoEuka , with fet-h; or this latter, only, is the right, and means what thou fearest hath quitted thee, and departed from thee, and become removed; or may what thou fearest quit thee, &c.; as though it were taken from the young bird's going forth from the egg, (K, TA,) and the darkness' becoming removed from it; thus expl. by Aboo-Ahmad El-Hasan Ibn-' Abd-Allah Ibn-Sa'eed El-' Askeree; and AO says that Afrx rwEk [thus in the TA, without any syll. signs,] means let thy fright, or fear, depart, for the case is not as thou fearest it to be. (TA.) It is also said, in a trad. of Mo'áwiyeh, that he wrote in a letter to Ziyád, ↓ liyuforixo ruwEuka , with damm; (K, TA;) but the opinion commonly obtaining with the leading lexicologists is, that it is with fet-h; except AHeyth, who relates it thus, with damm; (TA;) meaning Dismiss thou the rawoE from thy ruwE ; (K, TA;) i. e., the fright, or fear, from thy heart: (TA:) for you say A^aforaxati AlbayoDapu when the young bird quits the egg; and rawoE is fright, or fear, which does not depart from itself, but from its place, which is the ruwE , with damm; (AHeyth, K;) the rawoE in the ruwE being like the young bird in the egg: in like manner also one says A^aforaxa fuw^aAdu Alr~ajuli when a man's fright, or fear, departs: but Dhu-r-Rummeh, though knowing the meaning, has made an inversion, saying, qado A^aforaxato Eano ruwEihi Alkurabu [for qado A^aforaxa Eani Alkurabi ruwEuhu His heart had freed itself from griefs ]. (AHeyth, TA.) AHeyth adds, (TA,) one also says, Eani AlA^amori ↓ A^aforixa ruwEaka , or EalaY AlA^amori , [accord. to different copies of the K, the latter being the reading in the TA, but the former probably the right,] meaning [ Free thy heart from the affair; i. e.] be thou tranquil, and without fear. (K, TA.) Az observes, What AHeyth says is clear; but I am averse from it because of his being alone in his saying; though sometimes later authorities correct things in which the earlier have erred; therefore the correctness of AHeyth may not be [absolutely] denied in this matter, seeing that he had an ample share of knowledge. (TA.) [See also art. frx , in several places.] ― -b3- Also (tropical:) War, or battle; as in the phrase, $ahida Alr~awoEa (tropical:) [ He witnessed, or was present at or in, war, or battle ]. (TA.) [See also an ex. in a verse cited voce saEafN .]
