بطن

4 ابطن البَعِيرَ ابطن البعير , (IAar, S, K,) inf. n. اـِبْطَانٌ, (S,) He bound, or made fast, the camel's بِطَان [or belly-girth ]; (S, K;) as also ↓ بطّنهُ, accord. to the copies of the K; but this is a mistake for ↓ بَطَنَهُ, aor. بَطُنَ , inf. n. بَطْنٌ; which last verb, however, though said by Az to be a dial. var., is disallowed by IAar and by AHeyth. (TA.) ― -b2- أَبْطَنْتُ السِّيْفَ كَشْحِى (S, TA) I put the sword beneath my waist. (TA.) And ابطن كَشْحَهُ سَيْفَهُ (assumed tropical:) He made his sword to be his ↓ بِطَانَة [app. meaning his secret companion ]. (TA.) [This seems to be from the phrase next following.] ― -b3- أَبْطَنْتُ الرَّجُلَ (assumed tropical:) I made the man to be one of my particular, or special, intimates, friends, or associates; (S, TA; *) took him as a بِطَانَة. (TA.) One says also, فُلَانًا دُونَكَ ↓ اِسْتَبْطَنْتُ (Ham p. 688; [there rendered by خامصته, app. a mistranscription for خَصَصْتُهُ; meaning (assumed tropical:) I took, or chose, such a one particularly, or specially, for my companion, in preference to thee: it is said in explanation of the phrase مُسْتَبْطِنًا سَيْفِى, which seems to mean (assumed tropical:) taking my sword as my special companion, or putting it beneath my waist; so that سَيْفَهُ ↓ استبطن is similar to one, or both, of two phrases mentioned above in this paragraph.]) ― -b4- See also 2.
