(TA.) ظَعَنٌ ذ : see 1: -A2- and see also ظَاعِنٌ. ظُعْنَةٌ ذ A short journey. (TA.) ظِعْنَةٌ ذ A state or condition, or a mode or manner, of journeying or departing.

[But see, in what follows, an assertion of AZ respecting the pl. ظُعُنٌ.]) ― -b2- And A woman, (ISk, Mgh, Msb, TA;) whether in a هَوْدَج or elsewhere; (ISk, TA;) the word being used in the sense of مَظْعُونَةٌ [for مَظْعُونٌ بِهَا]; because her husband journeys (يَظْعَنُ) with her: (Msb:) or a man's wife; because she journeys with her husband: (TA:) or a woman as long as she is in the هودج; (S, Msb, K;) when not in it she is not thus called: (S:) or this is the primary meaning: then it was applied to her though in her tent, because she might become مَظْعُونَة [i. e. مَظْعُون بِهَا]: (Msb:) it is mostly applied to a woman riding [in a هودج]: then, to a هودج without a woman: and to a woman without a هودج. (TA.) 'Amr Ibn-Kulthoom says, “ قِفِى قَبْلَ التَّفَرُّقِ يَا ظَعِينَانُخَبِّرْكِ اليَقِينَ وَتُخْبِرِينَا
” [Pause thou before separation, O woman in the camel-vehicle: we will inform thee of the real truth respecting our case, and thou shalt inform us respecting thy case]: (S:) يَا ظَعِينَا is for يَا ظَعِينَةُ. (EM p. 185.) ― -b3- And, accord. to Lth, A camel that is ridden by women: [like ظَعُونٌ:] and applied to signify a woman because she rides it: or, accord. to IAmb, a camel upon which one journeys: and hence the trad., لَيْسَ فِى جَمَلٍ ظَعِينَةٍ صَدَقَةٌ i. e. [There is no poor-rate in the case of] the camel upon which one journeys; if the phrase be thus: but if it be فِى جَمَلِ ظَعِينَةٍ, by the last word is meant a woman: (TA:) AZ says, one should not say حُمُولٌ nor ظُعُنٌ except as meaning the camels upon which are هَوَادِج, whether there be in them women or not.

(TA.) مِظْعَانٌ ذ , applied to a horse or mare, and to a she-camel, Easy in pace. (TA.) مَظْعُونٌ ذ Made to journey, go away, depart, or remove; originally مَظْعُونٌ بِهِ; the complement being suppressed because of frequency of usage. (Msb.)
