حسو

1 حَسَا حس حسا , (S, Msb, K,) aor. يَحْسُو, (Msb,) inf. n. حَسْوٌ, (S, Msb,) and some say that حَسْوَةٌ also is an inf. n., (Msb,) [but this is properly an inf. n. of un.,] He (a man) supped, or sipped, or drank by little and little, (K,) soup, or broth, (S, K,) or سَوِيق, and the like; (Msb;) as also ↓ احتسى (S, K) and ↓ تحسّى , (K,) or the last means, in a leisurely manner. (Sb, S.) You say also, حَسَوْتُ حَسْوَةً وَاحِدَةً [I supped, or sipped, one sup, or sip]. (S.) And حَسَوْتُ as meaning I drank [or supped or sipped] what is termed حَسُوء and حَسَآء. (ISk, TA.) [Hence,] كَأْسَ المَنَايَااِحْتَسَوْا (assumed tropical:) [They sipped the cup of death; lit, deaths]: and ↓ اِحْتَسَوْا أَنْفَاسَ النَّوْمِ (assumed tropical:) [They sipped the draughts of sleep; meaning they took naps]. (TA.) ― -b2- One says also of a bird, حَسَا المَآءَ, (Msb, K,) aor. as above, (Msb,) inf. n. حَسْوٌ, (Msb, K,) like as one says of a man, شَرِبَ; (TA;) [He sipped the water:] one should not say, in this case, شَرِبَ. (Msb, K.) Hence the prov., (Msb,) نَوْمٌ كَحَسْوِ الطَّيْرِ [A sleeping like the sipping of the bird] i. e., of short duration; (S, M, Msb, TA;) likened, in its quick ending, to a bird's swallowing water: (Msb:) in the copies of the K, يَوْمٌ [a day]; and so in [some copies of] the S, and in the A. (TA.) And the saying, نِمْتُ نَوْمَةً كَحَسْوِ الطَّيْرِ I slept [a sleep like the sipping of the bird; meaning,] a short sleep. (T, Msb. *) 2 حَسَّوَ see 4, in two places. 3 حَاْسَوَ [حاساهُ He supped, or sipped, with him soup, or broth, &c.] You say, حَاسَيْتُهُ كَأْسًا مُرَّةً [I supped, or sipped, with him a bitter cup].

It is said in a prov., “ الحُسَىلِمِثْلِهَا كُنْتُ أُحَسِّيكَ

(TA.)

[of un.]: (Msb:) pl. حُسًى [for an ex. of which see 4] (Msb, TA) and حُسْوَاتٌ or حُسَوَاتٌ or حُسُوَاتٌ (Msb) and [of pauc.] أَحْسِيَةٌ and أَحْسِوَةٌ [in some copies of the K, erroneously, أَحْسُوَةٌ], and pl. pl. أَحَاسِى [or rather أَحَاسٍ], (K,) which ISd thinks to be rather a pl. of ↓ حَسَآءٌ , contr. to rule.
