لوث

8 التاث ذ : see 1. ― -b2- It was, or became, collected together. (TA) ― -b3- التاث; (S, K;) and ↓ لوّث, inf. n. تَلْوِيثٌ; (L;) It (an affair, TA,) was, or became, confused, (S, K,) intricate, and difficult. (TA.) You say التاثت عَلَيْهِ الأُموُرُ The affairs became confused, and intricate, to him: (TA:) and التاثت الخُطُوبُ [ The affairs became confused ]. (S.) ― -b4- Also, both verbs, (the former accord. to the S and K, and the latter accord. to the L,) It became wound about. (S, L, K.) You say اـِلْتَاثَتْ بِرَأْسِ القَلَمِ شَعْرَةٌ (so in one copy of the S: in another, التاث) [ A hair became wound about the head, or tip, of the reed-pen: read, erroneously, by Golius, and Freytag, التاث برأس القلم شَعَرَهُ]. (S.) ― -b5- He became strong, powerful, or vigorous. (K, TA.) ― -b6- He became fat. (K, TA.) ― -b7- He withheld, or restrained; syn. حَبَسَ: (K:) [but it seems rather to signify he withheld, or restrained, himself; syn. اـِحْتَبَسَ; like ↓ لَاثَ]. Accord. to the K, لوّث, inf. n. تَلْوِيثٌ, signifies the same; but it is not so: it is the same as التاث only as signifying “ it was, or became confused ”, and “ it became wound about. ” (TA.)
