1. ⇒ عقوعقى

عَقَا الأَمْرَ, aor. يَعْقُو, and [عَقَى, aor.] يَعْقِى, He disliked, or hated, the thing, or affair. (Ḳ.)

Root: عقو - Entry: 1. Dissociation: B

And عَقَاهُ, aor. يَعْقُوهُ, is syn. with عَاقَهُ [meaning He, or it, hindered, prevented, impeded, or withheld, him], being formed from the latter by transposition; (Ṣ, TA;) i. q. حَبَسَهُ; as alsoاعتقاهُ↓; (TA;) [and this is app. meant by its being said that] الاِعتِقَآءُ is syn. with الاِحْتِبَاسُ, and is formed by transposition from الاِعْتِيَاقُ. (Ṣ, TA.)

(of عَقْوَةٌ TA) is عِقَآءٌ, (Ḳ, TA,) and the pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] of عَقَاهٌ is عَقًا↓, like as حَصًى is of حَصَاةٌ. (TA.) One says, مَا يَطُورُ بِعَقْوَتِهِ أَحَدٌ [No one approaches the environs of his house]. (Ṣ, TA.)
