עוֹנָה IV, (denom. of עַיִן; cmp. Arab.‘âna manare) welling, flux. Men. 64ᵇ a woman said, I am offering a sacrifice לעוֹנָתִי after my recovery from flux, סבור מינה … לעוֹנָתָהּ ממש (v. Rabb. D. S. a. l.) which they understood to mean really for her flux, when the suggestion was offered, שמא בעינה סיכנה (v. preced.) perhaps she was in danger of losing her eye-sight; Y. Shek. V, 48ᵈ לעֵינָתִי, interpreted שופעת כמעיין, v. שָׁפַע.—[Rashi, ignoring Y. Shek. l. c., takes our w. in the sense of due season for a sacrifice, v. עוֹנָה.]—[Tosef. M. Kat. I, 2 עונתו של מים, v. עוּגָּה.]
