(Az, TA.) You say, مَطَّ الدَّلْوَ, (K,) or مَطَّ بِالدَّلْوِ, (Lh,) aor. as above, (TA,) and so the inf. n., (Lh,) He drew, or pulled, the bucket. (Lh, K.) And مَطّ حَاجِبَيْهِ He extended, or stretched, his eyebrows (S, TA) in speaking. (TA.) This last phrase also signifies (tropical:) He behaved proudly; (S, K, TA;) and so مَطَّ خَدَّهُ; (K, TA;) syn. تَكَبَّرَ [for which in the CK we find تَكَبُّرًا]. (S, K.)

(As, in TA, in remarks on the letter ط.) And مَطَّ خَطَّهُ, and خَطْوَهُ, He extended, and made wide, his handwriting, and his stepping: and مَطَّ [alone], aor. and inf. n. as above, [خَطْوَهُ being understood,] he made his stepping wide. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., of Saad, لَا تَمُطُّوا باآمِينَ Ye shall not lengthen [the word] اآمِينُ [ amen: yet this is done by most, if not by all, of the Muslims in the present day]. (TA.)
