وَحْيٌwaḥy (verbal noun (maṣdar), also noun (ism dhāt)): a hidden message; technically God's message sent down to a prophet. ﴿اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا وَحْيٌ يُّوْحٰى﴾ (An-Najm 53:4)
Form IV (ifʿāl) اَوْحٰى يُوْحِيْ اِيْحَآءًawḥā yūḥī īḥāʾan: synonymous with the bare triliteral (thulāthī mujarrad): to reveal, to inspire, to make a (secret) sign; in the Quran this sense comes only from the ifʿāl form, not from the bare triliteral. ﴿وَاَوْحٰى رَبُّكَ اِلَي النَّحْلِ﴾ (An-Naḥl 16:68); ﴿فَاَوْحٰٓى اِلَيْهِمْ اَنْ سَبِّحُوْا بُكْرَةً وَّعَشِيًّا﴾ (Maryam 19:11)
