حَنَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ عَلَى وَلَدِهَا تَحْنَى وَتَحْنُو حُنُوًّا عَطَفَتْ وَأَشْفَقَتْ فَلَمْ تَتَزَوَّجْ بَعْدَ أَبِيهِمْ وَحَنَيْت الْعُودَ أَحْنِيه حَنْيًا وَحَنَوْتُهُ أَحْنُوهُ حَنْوًا ثَنَيْتُهُ وَيُقَالُ لِلرَّجُلِ إذَا انْحَنَى مِنَ الْكِبَرِ حَنَاهُ الدَّهْرُ فَهُوَ مَحْنِيٌّ وَمَحْنُوٌّ وَالْحِنَّاءُ فِعَّالُ وَالْحِنَّاءَةُ أَخَصُّ مِنَ الْحِنَّاءِ وَحَنَّأَتِ الْمَرْأَةُ يَدَهَا بِالتَّشْدِيدِ خَضَبَتْهَا بِالْحِنَّاءِ وَالتَّخْفِيفُ مِنْ بَابِ نَفَعَ لُغَةٌ.
