(L.) And one says, مَعَاذَ ا@للّٰهِ, (S, A, O, L, K,) and مَعَاذَةَ ا@للّٰهِ, (S, O, L, K,) and مَعَاذَ وَجْهِ ا@للّٰهِ, and مَعَاذَةَ وَجْهِ ا@للّٰهِ, (S, O, L,) and عِيَاذَ ا@للّٰهِ, (A,) meaning أَعُوذُ بِا@للّٰهِ مَعَاذًا [I seek protection, or preservation, by God; &c.; which is equivalent to the saying may God protect me, or preserve me]: (S, A, O, L, K:) مَعَاذًا [as also مَعَاذَةً] being here used instead of the verb because it is an inf. n., though [accord. to some] not employed as such [in other cases], like as is the case in the phrase سُبْحَانَ ا@للّٰهِ. (S, O, L.) [One says also, مَعَاذَ ا@للّٰهِ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ كَذَا, for مِنْ أَنْ أَفْعَلَ كَذَا, I seek preservation by God, &c., from my doing such a thing; as though meaning may God preserve me from doing such a thing: see an ex. in the Kur xii. 79: and] some reckon مَعَاذَ ا@للّٰهِ among the forms of oaths. (MF.) [In like manner also,] عَوْذٌ بِا@للّٰهِ مِنْكَ means أَعُوذُ بِا@للّٰهِ مِنْكَ [I seek protection, or preservation, by God, &c., from thee]. (S, O, L, K. *) [See also the phrase عَائِذًا بِا@للّٰهِ, voce عَائِذٌ.] ― -b2- عَاذَتْ بِوَلَدِهَا (assumed tropical:) She (a camel) stayed with her young one, and attended to it affectionately, as long as it remained little, is as though it were an inverted phrase, meaning عَاذَ بِهَا وَلَدُهَا [her young sought protection by her: or it may be from what next follows]. (TA.) ― -b3- عاذ بِالعَظْمِ (tropical:) It (flesh-meat) clave to the bone: (S, O, L, K: *) a tropical phrase. (A.) ― -b4- And عَاذَتْ, [aor. تَعُوذُ,] (L, K,) inf. n. عِيَاذٌ (S, O, L, K) and عُؤُوذٌ; (S, L; [in the O عُؤُوذَة;]) and ↓ أَعَاذَتْ , and ↓ أَعْوَذَتْ ; (L, K;) (assumed tropical:) She (a gazelle, S, O, L, K, and a camel, and a mare, S, O, L, and any female, L, K) was in the state of such as is termed عَائِذ [q. v.]; or that of having recently brought forth. (S, O, L, K.) One says, هِىَ فِىعِيَاذِهَا She is in the early stage of the period after having brought forth. (S, O, L.)
