نَطِيحٌ ذ Smitten with the horn and so killed: fem. with ة: (L, K:) pl. نَطْحَى (L) and نَطَائِحُ: (Lh, L:) you say also نَعْجَةٌ نَطِيحٌ, as well as نطيحة. (L.) ― -b2- Also نَطِيحَةٌ A sheep or goat (Az) smitten with the horn and so killed. (Az, S,) and of which the flesh is therefore unlawful to be eaten: (Az:) the ة is added because it is made a subst., not an epithet: (Az:) or because the quality of a subst. predominates in it, as in the case of فَرِيسَةٌ and أَكِيلَةٌ and رَمِيَّةٌ. (S.) ― -b3- نَطِيحٌ and ↓ نَاطِحٌ (tropical:) What comes to thee from before thee, (or faces thee, L,) of birds and wild animals (S, L, K) &c., which one rouses by throwing a stone or by crying out, and from the course of which one augurs evil or good: (L:) contr. of قَعِيدٌ. (S.) [The نطيح or ↓ ناطح is of evil omen.] ― -b4- Hence, (TA,) نَطِيحٌ (tropical:) An unfortunate, or unlucky, man. (K.) ― -b5- نَطِيحٌ A horse having a blaze, or white mark on his face, extending to one of his ears, which is deemed unlucky: (L:) or a horse having on his forehead two circular or spiral curls of hair (دَائِرَتَانِ), which are disliked: (S, L, K:) if there be but one, it is called دَائِرَةُ اللَّطَاةِ; and this is not disliked; (S;) or it is called لَطْمَةٌ; and the horse, لَطِيمٌ. (L.)
