(TA.) ― -b2- حُشْتُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّيْدَ I aided him to hunt, or catch, the chase, or game; as also عليه ↓ أَحَشْتُهُ , and ↓ أَحْوَشْتُهُ عليه, and أَحْوَشْتُهُ إِِيَّاهُ, on the authority of Th: (TA:) and حَاشَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّيْدَ He scared the chase, or game, towards him, and drove and collected it to him; as also ↓ احاشهُ . (TA.) ― -b3- حَاشَ الذِّئْبُ الغَنَمَ The wolf drove along the sheep or goats. (TA.) ― -b4- حَاشَ الإِِبِلَ He collected together, and drove, the camels. (S, K.) ― -b5- حَاشَهُ, inf. n. حَوْشٌ, also signifies [simply] He collected it; drew it together. (TA.)

[See also 1.] 3 حاوش البَرْقَ ذ He turned aside from the place of the rain of the lightning, whichever way it turned. (Ibn-'Abbád, K.) ― -b2- Hence, (TA,) حَاوَشَهُ, (A,) inf. n. مُحَاوَشَةٌ, (TA,) He circumvented him: or he endeavoured to induce him to turn, or incline, or decline; or endeavoured to turn him by deceit, or guile: syn. دَاوَرَهُ: (A, TA: *) in war, and in litigation or contention [&c.]. (TA.) You say, ظَلِتُ أُحَاوِشُهُ وَأُحَاوِتُهُ حَتَّى فَعَلَ [I continued during the day to circumvent him, or to endeavour to induce him to turn, &c., and to delude him, or act towards him with artifice, like a fish in the water, until he did what I desired: see also what next follows]. (A.) ― -b3- [And hence,] حَاوَشْتُهُ عَلَيْهِ I excited, incited, urged, or instigated, him to do it. (Ibn-'Abbád, A, * Sgh, K.) [It is indicated in the A that in the ex. immediately preceding this, أُحَاوِشُهُ may also be rendered agreeably with this explanation.] 4 احاش الصَّيْدَ ذ , and أَحْوَشَهُ: see 1, in five places. 5 تحوّش القَوْمُ عَنّى ذ The people, or company of men, removed, withdrew, or retired to a distance, from me.

(AA, K.) 6 تَحَاْوَشَ see 8. 7 انحاش عَنْهُ ذ He took fright, and fled from him; or was averse from him; and shrank from him; (S, * K;) and was frightened at him; and was moved by him. (TA.) [In the TA it is here added, that this verb is quasi-pass. of الحَوْشُ in the sense of النِّفَارُ; but this seems to indicate that a copyist has written النفار by mistake for الإِِنْفَارُ, which is a syn. of the inf. n. of 1 in a sense explained above: so that انحاش signifies He became scared, or the like.] Hr mentions this verb in art. حيش; but it belongs to the present art. (IAth.) You say, زَجَرَهُ فَمَا ا@نْحَاشَ لِزَجْرِهِ He chid him (meaning a wolf or other animal) but he did not take fright and flee, &c., at his chiding. (TA.)

(TA.) ― -b2- Hence the phrase احتوش الدَّمُ الطُّهْرَ (assumed tropical:) [The blood invaded from every quarter the state of pureness]; as though the blood encompassed the pureness, and enclosed it on either side. (Msb.) [Alluding to the collecting of the blood about the uterus previously to menstruation.] حَاشَ لِلّٰهِ ذ i. q. تَنْزِيهًا لِلّٰهِ. One should not say حَاشَ لَكَ, but حَاشَاكَ, and حَاشَى لَكَ.
