2 سَوَّسُوهُ ذ (tropical:) They made him, or appointed him, ruler, or governor, over them; (M, * TA;) as also ↓ اساسوهُ . (TA.) ― -b2- سُوِّسَ الرَّجُلُ أُمُورَ النَّاسِ, (S, K,) or أَمْرَ النَّاسِ, (as in the TA,) or أَمْرَ قَوْمِهِ, (A,) (tropical:) The man was made ruler of the affairs of the people; (S;) [or of the affairs of his people, accord. as the phrase is given in the A:] or was made king. (K.) Accord. to a relation of a verse of El-Hotei-ah, he uses the expression سَوَّسْتَ أمْرَ بَنِيكَ [as though meaning Thou hast ruled the affairs of thy sons]; but Fr says that سَوَّسْتَ is a mistake. (S. [Thus I find it in one copy of the S: but in another copy of the S, I find سَوَّسْتِ, which is clearly wrong; and in the TA, سُوِّسْتَ, which Fr can hardly be supposed to have disallowed.]) ― -b3- سَوَّسَ لَهُ أَمْرًا (assumed tropical:) He made an affair easy to him; syn. رُوَّضَهُ and ذَلَّلَهُ. (TA.) You say, سَوَّسَ فُلَانٌ لَهُ أَمْرًا فَرَكِبَهُ (assumed tropical:) [Such a one made an affair easy to him, or, perhaps, commended it to him by making it seem easy, and so he embarked in it, or undertook it]: like as you say, سَوَّلَ لَهُ, and زَيَّنَ لَهُ. (AZ, K. *) ― -b4- سوّس المَرْأَةَ He slit the vulva of the woman. (TA.) -A2- See also 1, in two places.
