هَزِجَ, aor. ـَ {يَهْزَجُ}, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) inf. n. هَزَجٌ; (L;) He sang in a certain manner, with trilling, or quavering; as alsoتهزّج↓; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) andهزّج↓: (Ḳ:) orتهزّج↓ signifies he reiterated, or made to reciprocate, the graceful modulations of his voice: or prolonged his voice, without elevating it: (Aboo-Is-ḥáḳ, L:) or هَزَجٌ does not at all signify trilling, or quavering; and therefore IAạr has applied هَزِجٌ as an epithet to a dog that barks much. (L.)

He read, or recited, with a prolonging and trilling of the voice, making the sounds to follow closely, one upon another; as alsoتهزّج↓. (TA.)

هزّج الصَّوْتَ, inf. n. تهْزِيجٌ, He (a singer [or a reader or reciter]), made the sounds of the voice to be closely consecutive, and uttered in a light and quick manner. (L.)

[هَزَجٌ ‡ The twanging of a bow, on the archer's loosing the string after drawing it; and of a lutestring: in the TA, i. q. رَنّةٌ: pl. أَهْزَاجٌ and pl. pl. أَهَازِيجُ: or perhaps this latter is a pl. of which the sing. is أُهْزُوجَةٌ↓, like as أَرَاجِيزُ is pl. of أُرْجُوزَةٌ: and the twanging of a bow-string or lute-string may be likened to an ode or a song of the metre termed الهَزَج, which is perhaps, judging from analogy, the proper signification of اهزوجة.] لِلْعُودِ وَالقَوْسِ أَهَازِيجُ ‡ [To the lute and the bow there are twangings]. (A.) El-Kumeyt says, [speaking of a bow,]

* لَمْ يَعِبْ رَبُّهَا وَلَا النَّاسُ مِنْهَا *
