آخِيَّةٌ آخيه آخية , (Lth, S, Msb, K, &c.,) originally of the measure فَاعُولَةٌ, [i. e. آخُويَةٌ,] (Msb,) and آخِيَةٌ, (Lth, Msb, K,) and أَخِيَّةٌ, (JK, K, TA, [but in the K the orthography of these three words is differently expressed in different copies, and somewhat obscurely in all that I have seen,]) A piece of rope of which the two ends are buried in the ground, (ISk, JK, S,) with a small staff or stick, or a small stone, attached thereto, (ISK, S,) a portion thereof, resembling a loop, being apparent, or exposed, to which the beast is tied; (ISk, JK, S;) it is made in soft ground, as being more commodious to horses than pegs, or stakes, protruding from the ground, and more firm in soft ground than the peg, or stake: (TA:) or a loop tied to a peg, or stake, driven [into the ground], to which the beast is attached: (Msb:) or a stick, or piece of wood, (K, TA,) placed crosswise (TA) in a wall, or in a rope of which the two ends are buried in the ground, the [other] end [or portion] protruding, like a ring, to which the beast is tied: (K, TA:) or a peg, or stake, to which horses are tied: (Har p. 42:) [see also آرِىُّ:] the pl. of the first is أَوَاخِىُّ; (JK, S, Msb, K;*) and of the second, أوَاخٍ; (Msb;) and of the third, أَخَايَا, (JK, K,*) like as خَطَايَا is pl. of خَطِيَّةٌ. (TA.) In a trad., the believer and belief are likened to a horse attached to his آخيّة; because the horse wheels about, and then returns to his آخيّة; and the believer is heedless, and then returns to believe. (TA.) And in another, men are forbidden to make their backs like the أَخَايَا of beasts; i. e., in prayer; meaning that they should not arch them therein, so as to make them like the loops thus called. (TA.) ― -b2- Also i. q. طُنُبٌ; (K;) i. e. The kind of tent-rope thus called. (TA in art. طنب, q. v.) ― -b3- And (assumed tropical:) A sacred, or an inviolable, right or the like; syn. حُرْمَةٌ and ذِمَّةٌ. (S, K.) You say, لِفُلَانٍ أَوَاخِىُّ وَأَسْبَابٌ تُرْعَى [(assumed tropical:) To such a one belong sacred, or inviolable, rights, and ties of relationship and love, to be regarded]. (S.) And لَهُ عِنْدِى آجِيَّةٌ (assumed tropical:) He has, with me, or in my estimation, a strong, sacred, or inviolable, right; and a near tie or connexion, or means of access or intimacy or ingratiation. (TA.) ― -b4- In a trad. of 'Omar, in which it is related that he said to El-'Abbás, أَنْتَ آخِيَّةُ آبَآءِ رَسُولِ اَللّٰهِ, it is used in the sense of بَقِيَّةَ; [and the words may therefore be rendered Thou art the most excellent of the ancestors of the Apostle of God;] as though he meant, thou art he upon whom one stays himself, and to whom one clings, of the stock of the Apostle of God. (TA.)
