4 أَلْوَثَ see 1. -A2- أَلْوَثَتِ الأَرْضُ The land produced fresh, or green, herbage, (رَطْب, as in some copies of the K, or رُطْب, as in others and in the TA,) among that which was dry. So in the K: but in the L, as follows. الوث الصِّلِّيَانُ The صلّيان dried up, and then produced fresh, or green, shoots: and sometimes the same verb is thus used with reference to the ضَعَة and هَلْتَى and سَحَم: of the ثُمَام, one scarcely ever says الوث, but بَقَلَ; nor does one say of the الوث عَرْفَج, but ادبى, and اـِمْتَعَسَ. (TA.) ― -b2- أَلَثْتُ بِهِ مَالِى I asked him to keep my property as a deposit. (K.) From اللَّوْثُ “ the taking refuge. ” (TA.) ― -b3- لَمْ يُلِثْ, in a verse of El-'Ajjáj, He, or it, did not make to delay. (TA.)
