(TK.) You say, ↓ خَازَانِى فَخَزَيْتُهُ , (Ks, JK, S, K,) aor. of the latter أَخْزِيهِ, (Ks, JK, S,) [inf. n. app. خَزْىٌ,] I vied, or contended, with him (JK, TK) in mutual abasing, &c., (TK,) and I surpassed, or overcame, him [therein]: (JK:) [or it may signify, in abasement, &c.; for] the meaning [of the latter verb with its pronoun] is كُنْتُ أَشَدَّ خَزْيًا مِنْهُ.

(TA.) See also مُخْزٍ, below. ― -b2- Also He made him to be ashamed for himself (Ham pp. 114 and 397, and TA) in respect of him, for his shortcoming. (TA.)
