طحو ند طحى

طَاحٍ ذ Spread; spread out, or forth; expanded; or extended. (S, * K. [See also مُطَحٍّ.]) And That has filled everything by its multitude: (K, TA:) in this sense [or in the former sense as is implied in the S] applied to an army. (TA.) And one says مِظَلَّةٌ طَاحِيَةٌ and ↓ مَطْحُوَّةٌ and ↓ مَطْحِيَّةٌ, meaning A great (T, K, TA) spreading (TA) tent. (T, K, * TA.) And المُدَوِّمَةُ الطَّوَاحِى The vultures that circle [ in the sky ] around the bodies of the slain. (S, TA.) ― -b2- Also High, elevated, or lofty: so in the phrase لَا وَالقَمَرِ الطَّاحِى [ No, by the high moon ]; an oath of some of the Arabs. (TA.) [And Tall as applied to a horse: so طاحى is expl. in the TA; but this, being without the article ال, is a mistake for طَاحٍ.] ― -b3- And A great congregated body of men. (IAar, K.)
