2 دوّى دواية دوى دوي , (T, S, M, K,) inf. n. تَدْوِيَةٌ, (T, S, K,) He, or it, made a sound; or what is termed دَوِىّ; (T, M;) [i. e., a confused and continued sound; such as the rustling, or murmuring, of the wind; and the rustling of a bird; and the humming, or buzzing, of bees; and the rumbling of thunder; or the distant sound of rain and of thunder;] accord. to some, particularly said of thunder [as meaning it made a rumbling sound]; (M;) or it (a cloud) thundered: (KL:) and he (a stallioncamel) brayed so as to make a [rumbling] sound such as is termed دَوِىّ to be heard. (T, S, K.) -A2- [Also,] said of a bird, It circled in the air without moving its wings: (Msb:) or, accord. to As, one says of a dog, دوّى فِى الأَرْضِ [he went round upon the ground]; like as one says of a bird, دَوَّمَ فِىالسَّمَآءِ, meaning “ it circled in its flight, rising: ” he says that التَّدْوِيمُ is not upon the ground, nor التَّدْوِيَةُ in the sky; and he finds fault with the first of the verses of Dhu-r-Rummeh cited in the second paragraph of art. دوم: but some say that the two verbs are dial. vars., both meaning he went round about.

(T, S, M, K.) And, said of water, It was, or became, overspread with what was raised and scattered by the wind, (M, K,) resembling what is termed دُوَايَة. (M.) ― -b2- And [hence,] دَوَّتِ الأَرْضُ (assumed tropical:) The land became overspread with various herbage; as though it were the دُوَايَة of milk. (T.) -A4- دَوَّيْتُهُ, (inf. n. as above, TA,) I gave him the دُوَايَة of milk, (M, K,) or of broth, to eat it. (M.) -A5- And دوّى He sold [and app. made also (see مُدَوٍّ）] what is called دَوَاة.
