أَوَانٌ ذ (T, S, M, Msb, K) and ↓ إِِوَانٌ , (T, M, Msb, K,) the latter mentioned by Ks on the authority of Aboo-Jámi', but the former is the usual mode of pronouncing it, (T,) and ↓ أَوْنٌ , (M,) A time; a season: pl. آوِنَةٌ; (T, S, M, Msb, K;) but Sb says آوناتٌ; (M; [so in a copy of that work; app. آوِنَاتٌ, as though pl. of آوِنَةٌ;]) and آيِنَةٌ is syn. with آوِنَةٌ. (AA, T, K.) You say, جَآءَ أَوَانُ البَرْدِ [The time, or season, of cold came]. (T.) And فُلَانٌ يَصْنَعُ ذٰلِكَ الأَمْرَ آوِنَةً, (S, K, *) and آيِنَةً, (K, [in the CK آئِنَةً,]) Such a one does that thing sometimes, leaving it undone sometimes. (S, K. *) And أَتَيْتُهُ آينَةً بَعْدَ آيِنَةٍ I came to him times after times. (AA, T.) And آوِنَةً signifies Time after time. (TA, from a trad.) In the saying (of Aboo-Zubeyd, L), “ طَلَبُوا صُلْحَنَا وَلَاتَ أَوَانٍ
” (M,) or إِِوَانٍ, (L,) [They sought our reconciliation with them, but it was not the time that reconciliation should be sought], accord. to Abu-l- 'Abbás, the tenween of the last word is not a sign of the genitive case, but is, as in the instance of إِِذٍ, because of the suppression of a proposition to which the word should be prefixed, as when you say, جِئْتُ أَوَانَ قَامَ زَيْدٌ I came at the time that Zeyd stood. (M, L.) ― -b2- [Hence, أَوَانَئِذٍ At that time or season; then; like حِينَئِذٍ.]
