ضَيْوَنٌ, (Ṣ, M, Ḳ,) of the measure فَيْعَلٌ, not فَعْوَلٌ, because the former is the more common, (IB, TA,) extr. [in respect of rule], preserving its original form, (M,) without إِدْغَام [i. e. not having its و incorporated into the ى so as to become ضَيَّنٌ, as it should by rule,] because it is a primitive noun, (Ṣ,) like حَيْوَةُ, which is a proper name of a man, (Ṣ, M,) but more extr. because that is allowable in a proper name which is not allowable in another kind of word, (M,) [A he-cat;] i. q. سِنَّوْرٌ [q. v.]; (M:) the male سِنَّوْر: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) or a certain small beast resembling the سِنَّوْر: (M:) pl. ضَيَاوِنُ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) in which the و is unaltered because it is so in the sing.: (Ṣ, TA:) Sb says, the dim. is ضُيَيِّنٌ↓, like أُسَيِّدٌ [dim. of أَسْوَدُ], but he who says أُسَيْوِدٌ may sayضُيَيْوِنٌ↓.
