عنت

عُنْتُوتٌ ذ : see what next precedes. ― -b2- With the article ال, A mountain, (O,) or tapering mountain, (K,) in the صَحْرَاآء [or desert ]: (O, K:) or, accord. to the L, a small mountain tapering into [or towards ] the sky (جُبَيْلٌ مُسْتَدِقٌّ فِى السَّمَاآءِ): and it is said to be دون الحرة [app. دُونَ الحَرَّةِ; but there seems to be here an omission or a mistranscription; for of the various meanings that may be assigned to this phrase, none seems to be apposite: I incline to think that العُنْتُوتُ thus expl. is the proper name of a particular mountain]. (TA.) -A2- عُنْتُوتٌ signifies also The notch in a bow: accord. to Az, (TA,) the عُنْتُوت of the bow is the notch into which enters the غَانَة, i. e. the ring at the head of the string. (O, TA.) -A3- And The first, or beginning, or commencement, of anything. (O, K.) -A4- And Dry حَلِىّ, (O, and so in the CK, [in my MS. copy of the K حَلْى, and thus accord. to the TA, but this is evidently a mistake,]) which is a certain plant. (TA.)
