Classical Arabic - English Dictionary

أَسَنَ, aor. ـُ {يَأْسُنُ} (Ṣ, M, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ) and ـِ {يَأْسِنُ}, (Ṣ, M, Ḳ,) inf. n. أُسُونٌ (Ṣ, M, Mṣb) and أَسْنٌ; (M;) and أَسِنَ, aor. ـَ {يَأْسَنُ}, (Ṣ, M, &c.,) inf. n. أَسَنٌ; (Ṣ, M, Mṣb;) said of water, i. q. أَجَنَ and أَجِنَ; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) [i. e.] It became altered for the worse (M, Mgh, Mṣb) in odour, (M,) [or in taste and colour, from some such cause as long standing, (see أَجَنَ,)] but was drinkable; (M;) or so as not to be drunk, (Mṣb, TA,) thus differing from أَجَنَ and أَجِنَ. (TA.) [See also أَصِلَ.]

أَسِنٌ: see what follows.

آسِنٌ (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ) andأَسِنٌ↓, (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb,) applied to water, (Ṣ, Mgh, &c.,) i. q. آجِنٌ [and أَجِنٌ]; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) [i. e.] Altered for the worse (Mgh, Mṣb) in odour, (Mgh,) [or in taste and colour, from some such cause as long standing but drinkable; (see above, and see آجِنٌ;)] or so as not to be drunk, (Mṣb, TA,) thus differing from آجِنٌ and أَجِنٌ: (TA:) pl. [of the former] آسَانٌ [like as أَطْهَارٌ is pl. of طَاهِرٌ, or perhaps it may have for its sing. أَسْنٌ, like أَجْنٌ]. (M, TA.) مَنْ مَآءٍ غَيْرِ آسِنٍ, in the Ḳur [xlvii. 16], is explained by Fr as meaning Of water not altered for the worse; not آجِن. (TA.)
