(TA.)

[And طَوَيْتُ السِّقَآءَ عَلَى بُلُلَتِهِ, and بُلَلَتِهِ, or بَلَلَتِهِ, I folded the skin while it was moist: whence the phrases طَوَيْتُ فُلَانًا عَلَى بُلُلَتِهِ, and بُلَلَتِهِ, &c., and طَوَاهُ عَلَى بِلَالِهِ, and بُلُولِهِ, expl. voce بَلَلٌ; and a similar phrase in a verse cited voce ذَرِبَ, q. v.: see also a similar phrase in art. دمل, conj. 3: and see طَوِىَ.]

(TA.) [It is also implied in the TA that, in accordance with this usage of the verb, طَوَاهُ may be rendered † He caused it to pass away, or come to nought or to an end; destroyed it; or annihilated it: (see the pass. part. n.:) and, accord. to Bḍ, يَوْمَ نَطْوِى ٱلسَّمَآءَ, in the Ḳur xxi. 104, may mean On the day when we shall efface the heaven: but this phrase is better rendered on the day when we shall fold, or roll up, the heaven.]

طَىٌّ [originally an inf. n., of طَوَى, q. v.,] andطِىٌّ↓ andطِوَى↓, [said in one place in the TA to be like إِلَى, but I think that this is only said to show that its first vowel is kesr and the second fet-ḥ, and that it is correctly طِوًى, for there is no reason for its being imperfectly decl.,] accord. to the M, are sings. of أَطْوَآءٌ, which it explains as signifying The lines, or streaks, and creases, of the folding of a garment, or piece of cloth, and of a written piece of paper, and of the belly, and of fat, and of the guts, and of a serpent, and of other things; and it is said in the T and Ḳ that مَطَاوٍ↓, of which the sing. is مَطْوًى↓, signifies the أَطْوَآء of the serpent, and of the guts, and of fat, and of the belly, and of a garment, or piece of cloth: (TA:) one says,مَا بَقِيَتْ فِى مَطَاوِى↓ أَمَعَائِهَا ثَمِيلَةٌ [There remained not in the creases of her, or their, guts any relic of food]: (A, TA:) andمَطَاوِى↓ الدِّرْعِ signifies the creases of the coat of mail when it is drawn together, or contracted. (TA.) [Hence,] one says, عَلَى جَبِينِهَا أَطْوَآءُ النَّجْمِ i. e. طَرَائِقُهُ [app. meaning Upon her forehead (for so جَبِين sometimes signifies) are the wrinkles indicative of the time for the payment of the debt of nature]. (TA.) The أَطْوَآء in the she-camel are The طَرَائِق [i. e. lines, or streaks, or perhaps creases, or wrinkles,] of the fat (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA) of the hump: (Ḳ, TA:) [or the creases, or wrinkles, one above another, of the side and of the hump; for] Lth says, طَرَائِقُ جَنْبِهَا وَسَنَامهَا طَىٌّ فَوْقَ طَىٍّ [the creases, or wrinkles, of her side and of her hump are, or consist of, طَىّ above طَىّ]. (TA.) And AḤn says that أَطْوَآءٌ signifies The bending [or rather he should have said, or perhaps he did say, the places of bending] in the tail of the locust, [which are] like عُقَد [or articulations]: and the pl. [of mult.] is طِوَى↓ [said to be like إِلَى, but I think that it is correctly طِوًى, as I have observed above]. (TA.)

One says also, وَجَدْتُ فِى طَىِّ الكِتَابِ كَذَا [lit. I found within the folding of the writing, or letter, such a thing; meaning, infolded, or enclosed, or included, in it; or among the contents, or implications, of it]: and فِى أَطْوَآءِ الكُتُبِ andمَطَاوِيهَا↓ [lit. within the folds, or places of folding, of the writings, or letters].

طَيَّةٌ [inf. n. of un. of طَوَى]. You say, طَوَاهُ طَيَّةً وَاحِدَةً [He folded it,, &c., with one folding, &c.]. (TA.)

طِيَّةٌ, (Ṣ, TA,) from طَوَيْتُ الشَّىْءَ, (Ṣ,) is like جِلْسَةٌ (Ṣ, TA) and رِكْبَةٌ (Ṣ) and مِشْيَةٌ, signifying A mode, or manner, of folding, &c.; and a mode, or manner, of being folded, &c. (TA.) One says, إِنَّهُ لَحَسَنُ الطِّيَّةِ [Verily he is good in respect of the mode, or manner, of folding,, &c.]. (Ḳ, TA.) And طَوَاهُ طِيَّةً جَيِّدَةً [He folded it,, &c., in a good mode, or manner, of doing so]. (TA.) And hence the saying of Dhu-rRummeh,

* كَمَا تُنَشَّرُ بَعْدَ الطِّيَّةِ الكُتُبُ *

[Like as the writings, or letters, are unfolded after the folding in a particular manner]: (Ṣ, TA:) he said طِيَّة, with kesr, because he did not mean a single time [of folding]. (TA.)

[See also 1, second sentence, where it is mentioned as a simple inf. n., and sometimes pronounced طِيَةٌ, without teshdeed.]

Also i. q. نِيَّةٌ; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) and soطَوِيَّةٌ↓; (Ḳ;) and [agreeably with this explanation] Kh says that it may mean A place of alighting or abode [to which one purposes repairing, or betaking himself], and it may mean an object of aim or purpose or intention [whatever it be]: (Ṣ:) and in the A it is expl. as meaning the direction towards which countries are traversed: (TA:) one says طِيَّةٌ بَعِيدَةٌ i. e. [A place of alighting or abode, &c.] that is distant, or remote: and بَعُدَتْ عَنَّا طِيَّتُهُ i. e. The place of alighting, or of abode, to which he purposed repairing [was distant, or remote]: and مَضَى لِطِيَّتِهِ i. e. [He went] to his نِيَّة [meaning either place of alighting, &c. or object of aim, &c.] that he purposed: (Ṣ:) and لَقِيتُهُ بِطِيَّاتِ العِرَاقِ i. e. [I met him in] the regions, or quarters, or directions, of El-'Irak: and sometimes it is pronounced طِيَةٌ, without teshdeed. (TA.)

Also An object of want or need. (TA.) [Therefore مَضَى لِطِيَّتِهِ may be rendered He went to accomplish his object of want or need.]

آخِرَ طِيَّةٍ is syn. with آخِرَ مَخْطَرٍ [expl. voce خَطْرَةٌ, q. v.]. (TA in art. خطر.)

طَوًى A skin for water or milk; syn. سِقَآءٌ; (Ḳ;) as alsoطَىٌّ↓: or the former signifies a skin (سقآء) that has been folded having in it its moisture, and has consequently become dissundered; app. an inf. n. [of طَوِىَ] used as a subst. [properly so called]: andسِقَآءٌ طَوٍ↓ signifies [the same, or] a skin that has been folded having in it moisture, or some remains of milk, in consequence of which it has become altered, and stinking, and dissundered by putrefaction. (TA.)

Also Hunger; (Ṣ;) [and] so طَوٌّ↓ [if not a mistranscription]. (TA. [See طَوِىَ, of which the former is an inf. n., as also طِوًى.])

طُوًى is said by some to be likeطِوًى↓, meaning A thing twice done [as though folded]; and to be thus in the Ḳur [xx. 12 and lxxix. 16]; meaning twice sanctified [referring to the valley there mentioned]; (Ṣ, TA; [and thus expl., and said to be like ثِنًى, in the Ksh and by Bḍ;]) or, as El-Ḥasan says, twice blest and sanctified: (Ṣ, TA:) or meaning twice called [referring to the calling of Moses mentioned in the context]. (Ksh and Bḍ in xx. 12, and in like manner says Er-Rághib.) [But طُوَى (as most pronounce it) or طُوًى, in the Ḳur, is generally held to be the name of a certain valley. Golius explains طُوًى and طِوًى as meaning “Plicata, plicabilis, res;” which is a mistake: and he adds, “Ambulatio, incessus reciprocatus, ultro citroque in se rediens:” for the latter of these explanations, both of which he gives as on the authority of J and the Ḳ, I am quite unable to account.]
