(L, TA.) عَائِطُ عِيطٍ and عَائِطُ عُوطٍ and ↓ عَائِطُ عُوطَطٍ (S, O, K) have an intensive signification, (K,) Not conceiving in the first year after having been covered, nor in the next following year; like حَائِلُ حُولٍ and حَائِلُ حُولَلٍ. (S, O.) [عِيطٌ is also pl. of أَعْيَطُ, which see in art. عيط.]
