1 أَبَهَ لَهُ ذ , (JK, K,) and بِهِ; (K;) and أَبِهَ; aor. [of both] يَأْبَهُ; inf. n. أَبْهٌ, (JK, K,) of the former, (TA,) and أُبُوهٌ, [also of the former,] (JK,) and أَبَهٌ, (JK, K,) which is of the latter; (TA;) He knew it; or understood it; or knew it, or understood it, instinctively: or he recognised it readily; knew it, or understood it, readily, after he had forgotten it. (K.) You say, مَا أَبَهْتُ لَهُ, (AZ, JK, S, Mgh,) aor. آبَهُ, inf. n. أَبْهٌ; (AZ, S) and مَا أَبِهْتُ لَهُ, (JK, S,) aor. as above, inf. n. أَبَهٌ; (S;) I did not know it, or understand it; or did not know of it; was not cognizant of it: (JK, Mgh:) or I did not have my attention roused to it after I had forgotten it: (AZ, S:) the former is like وَبَهْتُ; (Mgh;) and the latter, like [وَبِهْتُ and] نَبِهْتُ. (S.) ― -b2- لَا يُؤْبَهُ لَهُ (Mgh, K, TA) He will not be cared for, minded, or regarded, because of his lowness of condition, or abjectness. (Mgh, TA.) ― -b3- أَبَهْتُهُ بِكَذَا I imputed to him, or suspected him of, such a thing. (JK, K, TA.) 2 أَبَّهْتُهُ ذ , inf. n. تَأْبِيهِ, I roused his attention: and I made him to know, or understand. (Kr, K.) The two meanings are nearly alike. (TA.)

And تَأَبَّهُ عَنْ كَذَا He shunned, avoided, or kept himself far from, such a thing; (JK, Z, K;) he was disdainful of it, he disdained it, or held himself above it. (Z, K.) أُبَّهَةٌ ذ Greatness, or majesty; (JK, S, K;) a quality inspiring reverence or veneration; (TA;) goodliness and splendour; (K;) and goodliness of aspect: (TA:) and pride, self-magnification, or haughtiness. (JK, * S, * K.)
