(MA.) -A2- رَزَنَ بِالمَكَانِ [thus in the K, with fet-h to the ز,] He remained, stayed, dwelt, or abode, in the place. (K.) -A3- رَزَنَهُ, (S, K,) aor. رَزُنَ , inf. n. رَزْنٌ, (S,) He lifted it (namely, a thing, S) in order that he might see what was its weight.

(T, Mgh.) رَوْزُنَةٌ ذ : see the next preceding paragraph. أَرْزَن ذ [accord. to general opinion, being a subst. only, not originally an epithet, أَرْزَنٌ, or, accord. to some, it may be أَرْزَنُ, as being imagined to possess the quality of an epithet,] A kind of hard tree, (Lth, S, K,) of which staves are made. (Lth, S.) هُوَ مُرَازِنُهُ ذ i. q. مُحَالُّهُ [He is his companion in alighting, or descending and stopping or sojourning &c.]: (so in copies of the K:) or مُخَالُّهُ [his friendly associate; or true, or sincere, friendly associate].
