Root entry · 1 derived lemma

فَتِيلٌ ذ Twisted; [applied to a rope, &c.;] as also ↓ مَفْتُولٌ. (M, K.) ― -b2- And A slender cord, of [ the fibres called ] لِيف, (M, K,) or of [ the bark termed ] خَزَم, or of عَرَق [meaning plaited palmleaves ], or of thongs, (M,) which is bound upon the ring (M, K) called عِيَان which is at the end (مُنْتَهى), (M,) or which is at the place of meeting (مُلْتَقَى), (K,) of the دُجْرَانِ [ two pieces of wood to which the share of the plough is attached ]. (M, K.) ― -b3- [And A tent for a wound: a term used by surgeons: see دَسَمَ الجُرْحَ, in art. دسم.] ― -b4- And What one twists [or rolls ] (S, M, O, K) between his fingers (M, K) or between the two fingers [meaning the thumb and fore finger ], (S, O,) of dirt [ that has collected upon the skin when it has not been recently washed ]; (S, O, K;) as also ↓ فَتِيلَةٌ. (M, K.) So says I' Ab in explaining the saying in the Kur [iv. 52, and 79 also accord. to some readers, and xvii. 73], وَلَا يُظْلَمُونَ فَتِيلًا [meaning (tropical:) And they shall not be wronged by their being deprived of the most paltry right; or they shall not be wronged a whit ]: (O, TA:) or the [primary, or proper,] meaning in this phrase is what here follows. (TA; and in like manner Bd says in iv. 52.) ― -b5- And The سَحَاة [or integument, meaning the pellicle ], (M, K, TA,) or the خَيْط [or thread, meaning the filament ], (Bd in iv. 52,) that is in the شَقّ [or cleft, resembling a crease, which extends along one side ] of the datestone: (M, K, TA: but for شَقّ, the CK has شِقّ:) ISk says, the قِطْمِير is the thin integument upon the date-stone, and, he adds, (T, TA, *) the فَتِيل is what is in the شَقّ of the date-stone. (T, S, O, Msb, TA.) Hence, (M,) one says, مَا أُغْنِى عَنْهُ فَتِيلًا, (M, and so in the K except that the latter has عَنْكَ instead of عَنْهُ,) meaning [ I do not avail, or profit, him, (or accord. to the K, thee, ) or I do not stand, or serve, him (or thee ) in stead, ] as much as that سَحَاة, (M,) or a whit; (K;) and in like manner, ↓ فَتْلَةً, (Th, M, K, [in the CK, erroneously, فَتِيلَةً,]) and ↓ فَتَلَةً. (IAar, M, K.)
