سِرْوَةٌ ذ (Th, AHn, T, S, M, K) and ↓ سُرْوَةٌ (Th, M, IAth, K) and ↓ سَرْوَةٌ (Kr, M, K) A small arrow: (S:) or a small and short arrow: or an arrow broad and long in the head; (M, K, TA;) but therewithal slender and short; with which one shoots at the butt: (TA:) or such as is round and smooth, not broad; the broad and long being termed مِعْبَلَةٌ: (M:) or the very slenderest of arrow-heads, that penetrates into the coats of mail: (Th, M:) or it [ is an arrow that ] penetrates into the coats of mail, for which reason it is called الدِّرْعِيَّةُ, its head entering like the needle: (T, TA:) or an arrow-head resembling an ordinary needle or a large needle: it is mentioned also in art. سرى, [as being a small, short, round and smooth arrow-head, having no breadth, and as being called سِرْوَةٌ and سِرْيَةً,] because the word belongs to that art. and to this: (M:) [see also مِرْمَاةٌ; and see سِرْوَةٌ in art. سرأ:] the pl. is سُرًى [or سِرًى?] accord. to the T, or سِرَاآءٌ accord. to the S. (TA.) -A2- The first (سِرْوَةٌ) also signifies The locust in its first state, when it is a larva; (S;) or in its first state of growth, when it comes forth from its egg: (M:) originally with hemz: (S:) [see سَرْءٌ, in two places:] and سِرْيَةٌ is a dial. var. thereof. (S.) [See also جَرَادٌ.]

سَرِىٌّ ذ , as an epithet applied to a man, (S, M, K, &c.,) may be from اِسْتَرَيْتُ الشَّىْءَ “ I chose, or selected, the thing, ” or from السَّرَاةُ “ the higher, or highest, part ” of a thing, (Ham p. 337,) or, accord. to Er-Rághib, from سَرَوْتُ الثَّوْبَ عَنِّى “ I pulled off the garment from me, ” (TA, [in which this derivation is said to be good, but I think it far-fetched,]) Possessing liberality, bountifulness, munificence, or generosity, combined with manliness, or manly virtue: (S, Mgh:) or possessing manliness, or manly virtue, (M, K,) and, (M,) or combined with, (K,) high or elevated rank or condition, nobility, dignity, honour, or glory: (M, K:) or i. q. رَئِيسٌ [meaning a chief, or person high in rank or condition ]: (Msb:) [or a generous and manly or noble person:] fem. with ة: (M, K:) and ↓ مَسْرَوَانٌ signifies the same, applied to a man; and ↓ مَسْرَوَانَةٌ applied to a woman: (M:) the pl. of سَرِىٌّ is أَسْرِيَاآءُ and سُرَوَاآءُ (Lh, M, K) and سُرًى, (Az, K,) which is anomalous, (TA,) and سَرَاةٌ, (T, S, Mgh, * Msb,) [originally سَرَوَةٌ,] which is [also] anomalous, (T, TA,) the only instance of فَعَلَةٌ as the measure of a pl. of a word of the measure فَعِيلٌ, (S, Msb,) or it is a quasi-pl. n., (Sb, M, K,) and its pl. is سَرَوَاتٌ; (S, M, Mgh, * K;) meaning سَادَاتٌ [or chiefs, &c.]; (Mgh); and سُرَاةٌ, with damm, [originally سُرَوَةٌ,] is a dial. var. of سَرَاةٌ, as pl. [or quasi-pl. n.] of سَرِىٌّ: (IAth, TA:) the pl. of سَرِيَّةٌ is سَرِيَّاتٌ and سَرَايَا. (M, K.) Also Chosen, or choice, or select: (M:) what is good of anything; pl. [or quasi-pl. n.] سَرَاةٌ: (Ham p. 337:) the best, (Msb, TA, and Har p. 56,) and in like manner سَرَاةٌ [as a pl.]; (M, Msb, TA, and Ham p. 57, and Har ubi suprà;) the former, of men, (Har ubi suprà,) and of camels; (S;) and the latter, of men, (S, TA, and Ham ubi suprà, and Har,) and of cattle or camels and the like, (S, M, TA,) as also the former. (TA.) -A2- See also art. سرى.

سُرِّيَّةٌ ذ , said by some to be originally of the measure فُعُّولَةٌ, from سَرْوٌ: see art. سر.

أَسْرَى ذ is of the measure أَفْعَلُ [denoting the comparative and superlative degrees] from السَّرْوُ signifying “ liberality, bountifulness, munificence, or generosity, combined with manliness, or manly virtue: ” [&c.:] whence the phrase أَسْرَاهُمْ سُودَدًا, meaning The best of them in respect of chiefdom or the like: or it may be from السُّرَى; meaning in this instance that the fame of the chiefdom, or the like, of him to whom it relates has pervaded the countries and spread among mankind; and this is more worthy of regard in respect of the method of grammatical analysis; from Mtr: (Har p. 363: [see art. سرى:]) [ISd, however, assigns the word to the present art.:] see 5, last sentence.

أَرْضٌ مَسْرُوَّةٌ ذ A land containing the سِرْوَة, or locust in its first state, when it is a larva. (S.) [In a copy of the M, it is said to be from السَّرْوَةُ; and the context there indicates the meaning to be A land infested by a worm of the kind termed سَرْوٌ, of which سَرْوَةٌ is the n. un.: but probably السَّرْوَةُ, in this instance, is a mistranscription for السِّرْوَةُ, which is mentioned immediately after as meaning “ the locust in its first state of growth, when it comes forth from its egg. ”]

مَسْرَوَانٌ ذ ; and its fem., with ة: see سَرِىٌّ.

Q. 1 سَرْوَلَهُ ذ , (inf. n. سَرْوَلَةٌ, TA,) He clad him with سَرَاوِيل. (S, M, K.)

Q. 2 تَسَرْوَلَ ذ He clad himself, or became clad, with سَرَاوِيل. (S, M, K.)

سِرْوِيلٌ ذ : see سَرَاوِيل, in the latter half.

سِرْوَالَةٌ ذ : see the next paragraph, latter half, in two places.

سَرَاوِيل ذ a Pers. word, (S, * M, Msb, * K,) originally شَلْوَار, (MA, KL, [in the former loosely expl. by the word اـِزَارٌ, and so in the PS,]) of well-known meaning, (S,) [ Drawers, trousers, or breeches; originally applied to such as are worn under other clothing; ] a certain under-garment; (MA;) [but now applied also to such as are worn externally; ] is masc. [and perfectly decl., i. e. with tenween], and fem. [and imperfectly decl., i. e. without tenween]; (S, M, Msb, K; *) sometimes masc., (Msb, K,) but not known to As otherwise than as fem.; (M;) accord. to the usage most commonly obtaining, it is imperfectly decl. and fem.: (MF:) Sb says that it is a sing., and is a foreign, or Pers., word, arabicized; resembling, in their [the Arabs'] language, what is imperfectly decl. [as a pl. of the measure فَعَالِيلُ] when determinate and when indeterminate; but is perfectly decl. when indeterminate; and imperfectly decl. if applied as a proper name to a man, and so is its dim. if so applied, because it is fem. and of more than three letters: (S:) or it is imperfectly decl. as a proper name because it is also originally a foreign word; and its dim., ↓ سُرَيْيِيل, [for سُرَيْوِيل, the و being changed into ى, as in سَيِّدٌ for سَيْوِدٌ,] is perfectly decl. unless used as a proper name, in which latter case it is imperfectly decl. [for the reason above mentioned or] because it is fem. and determinate: (IB, TA:) it (i. e. سَرَاوِيل) is made, as a pl., imperfectly decl. when indeterminate by some of the grammarians; (S;) and it occurs in poetry imperfectly decl. [when indeterminate]: (S, M, * IB, TA:) [but this may be by poetic license:] thus in the saying of Ibn-Mukbil, أَتَى دُونَهَا ذَبُّ الرِّيَادِ كَأَنَّهُ فَتًى فَارِسِىٌّ سَرَاوِيلَ رَامِحُ [ The came as an obstacle intervening in the way to her, or them, the wild bull, as though he were a Persian youth in drawers; one with a pair of horns ]: (S, * IB, TA:) the former [however] is the usual way, [contrary to what has been said on the authority of MF,] though the latter is more valid: (S:) the pl. is سَرَاوِيلَاتٌ: (S, M, Msb, K:) Sb says that it has no broken pl., because, if it had, it would be the same as the sing.: (M:) or, (K,) some say, (S, M, Msb,) namely those grammarians who make it imperfectly decl. when indeterminate, (S,) holding it to be [originally] an Arabic word, (Msb,) it is a pl. of which the sing. is ↓ سِرْوَالَةٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and ↓ سِرْوَالٌ (S, K) and ↓ سِرْوِيلٌ, which is [said to be] the only instance of a word of the measure فَعْوِيلٌ: (K:) [this, therefore, confirms the opinion that I hold, that the measure of this word is فِعْلِيلٌ, and that all the words of the present art. are quadriliteral-radical, agreeably with an assertion in the TA that سرل is not genuine Arabic: though it seems that all the lexicographers regard the و in the words of this art. as augmentative:] a poet says, فَلَيْسَ يَرِقُّ لِمُسْتَعْطِفِ * ↓ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ اللُّؤْمِ سِرْوَالَةٌ [ Upon him is an under-garment of ignobleness, (i. e. ignobleness cleaves to him like a pair of drawers,) so that he does not become tenderhearted to one who endeavours to conciliate him]: (S, * M:) in the “ Mujarrad, ” سَرَاوِيلُ is made fem., and ↓ سِرْوَالٌ masc.: (Msb:) سَرَاوِين is a dial. var.; (K;) or syn. with سَرَاوِيل; the ن in the former being asserted by Yaakoob to be a substitute for the ل [in the latter]: (M:) and شِرْوَالٌ, with ش, is likewise a dial. var. [of سِرْوَالٌ], (K,) mentioned by Es-Sijistánee, on the authority of some one or more of the Arabs: (TA:) [the common modern pronunciation is شَرْوَال: pl. شَرَاوِيل.]

سُرَيْيِيل ذ : dim. of سَرَاوِيل, q. v. (IB, TA.)

مُسَرْوَلٌ ذ Clad with سَرَاوِيل; as also ↓ مُتَسَرْوِلٌ. (A, TA.) ― -b2- [Hence,] طَائِرٌ مُسَرْوَلٌ (tropical:) A bird whose plumage clothes its legs. (M, L, TA.) And حَمَامَةٌ مُسَرْوَلَةٌ (tropical:) A pigeon having feathers upon its legs. (S, K, TA.) And فَرَسٌ مُسَرْوَلٌ, (K,) or فَرَسٌ أَبْلَقُ مُسَرْوَلٌ, (A'Obeyd, S, TA,) (tropical:) [ A horse, or a black and white horse, ] whose whiteness of the legs extends (A'Obeyd, S, K) beyond, (A'Obeyd, K, TA,) or to, (S,) the arms and thighs: (A'Obeyd, S, K:) or مُسَرْوَلٌ applied to a horse means white in the hinder part, [ and black, or of some other colour, in the hind legs, ] the whiteness descending to the thighs. (A, voce اآزَرُ.) ― -b3- And المُسَرْوَلُ signifies (assumed tropical:) The wild bull: because of the blackness that is in his legs. (Az, TA.)

مُتَسَرْوِلٌ ذ : see the next preceding paragraph.

سَرَاوين ذ : see سَرَاوِيل, in art. سرول.

1 سَرَى ذ , (S, M, K,) or سَرَى اللَّيْلَ (Msb) and بِاللَّيْلِ, (Mgh, Msb,) aor. يَسْرِى, (K,) inf. n. سُرًى (S, M, Mgh, K) and مَسْرًى (S, K) and سَرْيَةٌ and سُرْيَةٌ (M, K) and سِرَايَةٌ; (S, * and TA as from the K, but not in the CK nor in my MS. copy of the K;) the first of a form rare among inf. ns., because it is one of the forms of pls., as is shown by the fact that some of the Arabs make it and هُدًى fem., namely, Benoo-Asad, supposing them to be pls. of سُرْيَةٌ and هُدْيَةٌ, (S,) and Lh knew not سُرًى but as a fem. noun; (M;) or the inf. n. is سَرْىٌ, and سُرْيَةٌ and سَرْيَةٌ are more special [in meaning, as will be shown below, voce سَرْيَةٌ], and سُرًى is pl. of سُرْيَةٌ; (Msb;) or سَرْيَةٌ is an inf. n. un., and سُرْيَةٌ is a simple subst., and so is سُرًى, (S, TA,) and so is سِرَايَةٌ (Msb, TA) also, as some say; (TA;) He journeyed, or travelled, by night, or in the night, (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) in a general sense; (M, K;) accord. to AZ, in the first part part of the night, and in the middle thereof, and in the last part thereof; (Msb, TA;) and ↓ اسرى signifies the same (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K) in the dial. of El-Hijáz, (S, Msb,) inf. n. اـِسْرَاآءٌ; (M;) as also ↓ استرى; (M, K;) and perhaps ↓ تسرّى likewise. (Mgh.) [See also سُرًى and سَرْيَةٌ below.] It is said in a prov., قُنْفُذٍ ↓ ذَهَبُوا اـِسْرَاآءَ [ They went away in the manner of a hedge-hog's night-travelling; meaning they went away by night ]; because the قنفذ goes all the night, not sleeping. (M.) ― -b2- [Hence, as denoting unseen progress,] it is said also of the root of a tree, meaning It crept along beneath the ground; (Az, M, K;) aor. as above, (M,) inf. n. سَرْىٌ. (TA.) ― -b3- And it is said of ideal things, as being likened to corporeal things; tropically, and by extension of the signification; (Msb, TA;) or metaphorically; [as, for instance,] of calamities, and wars, and anxieties: (M, TA:) and the predominant inf. ns. [in these cases] are سِرَايَةٌ and سَرَيَانٌ. (TA.) One says, سَرَى عِرْقُ السُّوْءِ فِى الاـِنْسَانِ (tropical:) [ The root, or strain, of evil crept in the man ]. (Es-Sarakustee, Msb, TA.) And سَرَى فِيهِ السَّمُّ (tropical:) [ The poison crept in him, or pervaded him ]; and similarly one says of wine; and of the like of these two things. (El-Fárábee, Msb, TA. [See also دَبَّ.]) And the lawyers say, سَرَى الجُرْحُ اـِلَى النَّفْسِ (tropical:) [ The wound extended to the soul ], meaning that the pain of the wound continued until death ensued in consequence thereof: (Mgh, * Msb, TA:) and قُطِعَ كَفُّهُ فَسَرَى اـِلَى سَاعِدِهِ (tropical:) [ His hand was cut off, and it extended to his upper arm ], meaning that the effect of the wound passed by transmission: and سَرَى التَّحْرِيمُ, and العِتْقُ, (tropical:) The prohibition, and the emancipation, [ extended, or] passed by transmission: phrases current among the lawyers, but not mentioned in books of repute, though agreeable with others here preceding and following. (Msb, TA.) One says also, سَرَى عَلَيْهِ الهَمُّ (tropical:) Anxiety came to him [or upon him ] by night: and سَرَى هَمُّهُ (tropical:) His anxiety went away. (Msb, TA.) And similar to these is the phrase in the Kur [lxxxix. 3], وَا@للَّيْلِ اـِذَا يَسْرِ (tropical:) And by the night when it goes away: (Msb, TA:) or, as some say, when one journeys in it; like as one says لَيْلٌ نَائِمٌ meaning “ night in which one sleeps: ” the [final] ى [of the verb] is elided because it terminates a verse. (TA.) ― -b4- It is made trans. by means of ب: (Msb:) one says, سَرَى بِهِ [ He made him to journey, or travel, or he transported him, by night, or in the night; or it may be rendered he journeyed, or travelled, with him, by night, or in the night ]; (M, Msb, K;) and in like manner, [and more commonly,] بِهِ ↓ أَسْرَى; (S, M, Msb, K;) and ↓ أَسْرَاهُ; (S, M, K;) like as one says, أَخَذَ بِالخِطَامِ as well as اخذ الخِطَامَ. (S.) As to the saying in the Kur [xvii. 1], سُبْحَانَ ا@لَّذِى بِعَبْدِهِ لَيْلًا ↓ أَسْرَى [ Extolled be the glory of Him who transported his servant by night! ], it is an instance of corroboration, (S, K, * TA,) like the saying, سِرْتُ أَمْسِ نَهَارًا and البَارِحَةَ لَيْلًا: (S, TA:) or the meaning is [simply] سَيَّرَهُ: (K, TA:) accord. to 'Alam-ed-Deen Es-Sakháwee, لَيْلًا is added, although الاـِسْرَاآء is not otherwise than by night, because the space over which he was transported is not to be traversed in less than forty days, but was traversed by him in one night; as though the meaning [intended] were, فِى لَيْلٍ وَاحِدٍ; and it denotes wonder: لَيْلًا is here used instead of لَيْلَةً because when they say سَرَى لَيْلَةً the meaning generally is he occupied the whole of the night in journeying: Er-Rághib holds the verb in this instance to be from سَرَاةٌ signifying “ a wide tract of land, ” to belong to art. سرو, and to be like أَجْبَلَ and أَتْهَمَ; the meaning being, who transported his servant over a wide tract of land: but this is strange. (TA.) -A2- سَرَى مَتَاعَهُ, (M, K,) aor. يَسْرِى, (M, TA,) inf. n. سَرْىٌ, (TA,) He threw his goods, or utensils and furniture, upon the back of his beast. (M, K.) ― -b2- And سَرَى عَنِّى الثَّوْبَ, inf. n. سَرْىٌ, He removed from over me the garment: but و is more approved [as the final radical: see 1 in art, سرو]. (M, TA.) You say, سَرَيْتُ الثَّوْبَ and ↓ سَرَّيْتُهُ I pulled off the garment: and عَنْهُ ↓ سُرِّىَ It was removed from over him, and removed from its place: the teshdeed denotes intensiveness. (TA.)

2 سرّى ذ , (K,) or سرّى سَرِيَّةً, (TA,) inf. n. تَسْرِيَةٌ, He (the leader of an army, TA) detached a سَرِيَّة [q. v.] (K, TA) to the enemy by night. (TA.) ― -b2- سرّى العَرَقَ عَنْ بَدَنِهِ, inf. n. as above, He exuded the sweat from his body. (TA.) ― -b3- See also 1, last sentence, in two places.

4 أَسْرَىَ see 1, in the former half of the paragraph, in two places: ― -b2- and again, in the latter half, in three places. ― -b3- See also 4 in art. سرو.

5 تَسَرَّىَ see 1, first sentence.

8 اـِسْتَرَىَ see 1, first sentence.

سُرًى ذ , [said by some to be an inf. n., by some to be a simple subst., and by some to be pl. of سُرْيَةٌ, or supposed to be so, and therefore made fem., as mentioned in the first sentence of this art.,] meaning A journeying, or travelling, by night, or in the night, in a general sense, is masc. and fem., (M, K,) by some of the Arabs made fem., (S,) and not known to Lh but as a fem. noun. (M.) It is said in a prov., عِنْدَ الصَّبَاحِ يَحْمَدُ القَوْمُ السُّرَى [ At daybreak, the party commend night-journeying ]: applied to the man who endures difficulty, or distress, or fatigue, hoping for rest, or ease: (Meyd:) and in inciting to labour for the accomplishment of an affair with patience, and to dispose and subject the mind, until one commends the result thereof. (Har p. 555, q. v.)

سَرَاةٌ ذ : see art. سرو.

سَرْيَةٌ ذ and ↓ سُرْيَةٌ are inf. ns. of سَرَى: (M, K:) or have a more special signification than the inf. n. of that verb, which is سَرْىٌ: one says, سَرَيْنَا سَرْيَةً مِنَ اللَّيْلِ and ↓ سُرْيَةً [ We journeyed by night a journey of the night ]: and the pl. of ↓ سُرْيَةٌ is [said to be] سُرًى: (Msb:) or one says, سَرَيْنَا سَرْيَةً وَاحِدَةً [ We journeyed by night a single night-journey ]: and the subst. [signifying a journeying, or travelling, by night, or in the night, ] is ↓ سُرْيَةٌ, and سُرًى. (S, TA.)

سُرْيَةٌ ذ : see the next preceding paragraph, in four places.

سِرْيَةٌ ذ meaning An arrow-head, (As, M, TA,) such as is small, short, round and smooth, having no breadth, (M, TA,) is a dial. var. of سِرْوَةٌ [q. v.], (As, TA,) or formed from the latter word by the substitution of ى for و because of the kesreh: (M, TA:) accord. to the K, ↓ سَرِيَّةٌ signifies a small round arrow-head; but this is a mistake; the correct word being سِرْيَةٌ, with kesr, and without teshdeed to the ى. (TA.) -A2- It is also a dial. var. of سِرْوَةٌ signifying The locust in its first state, when it is a larva. (S in art. سرو.)

سَرَاآءٌ ذ A certain tree, (AHn, S, M, K,) from which bows are made, (AHn, S, M,) the wood whereof is of the best of woods, and which is of the trees of the mountains: (AHn, M:) ElGhanawee El-Aarábee says, the نَبْع and شَوْحَط [q. v.] and سَرَاآء are one: (TA in art. شحط:) [it is also mentioned in the TA in art. سرأ:] n. un. سَرَاآءَةٌ.

[of pauc.] أَسْرِيَةٌ (S, M, K) and [of mult.] سُرْيَانٌ: (Sb, S, M, Msb, K:) أَسْرِيَاآءُ as its pl. has not been heard. (S.) Thus it has been expl. as occurring in the Kur xix. 24. (M, TA.) -A2- See also art. سرو.

سَرِيَّةٌ ذ A portion of an army: (S, Msb:) of the measure فَعِيلَةٌ in the sense of the measure فَاعِلَةٌ; because marching by night, privily; (Mgh, Msb;) thus originally, and afterwards applied also to such as march by day: (Ham p. 45:) or it may be from الاِسْتِرَاآءُ “ the act of choosing, or selecting; ” because a company chosen from the army: (Mgh: [but if so, belonging to art. سرو:]) from five persons to three hundred: (M, K:) or four hundred: (K:) or, of horsemen, about four hundred: (M:) or the best thereof, (S,) or the utmost, (Nh,) consists of four hundred: (S, Nh:) or, accord. to the “ Fet-h el-Bári, ” from a hundred to five hundred: (TA:) or nine, and more than this; three, and four, and the like being termed طَلِيعَةٌ, not سَرِيَّةٌ: but it is related of the Prophet that he sent a single person as a سَرِيَّة: (Mgh:) the pl. is سَرَايَا (S, Msb) and سَرِيَّاتٌ.

أَسْرَى ذ [ More, and most, used to night-journeying ]. أَسْرَى مِنْ قُنْفُذٍ [ More used to go about by night than a hedge-hog ] is a prov. of the Arabs. (TA.) [See also the same word in art. سرو.]

مَسْرًى ذ may be a n. of place and a n. of time, [signifying A place, and a time, of night-journeying, ] as well as an inf. n. (Ham p. 23.) It is [used also in a larger sense, as] syn. with مَذْهَبٌ [ A place, and a time, of going &c.: a way by which one goes &c.]. (Har p. 540.)

(TA.) In the saying of Rubeh, ↓ رَاحَتْ وَرَاحَ كَعِصِىِّ السَّيْسَابٌ [ She went, and he went, like the rods of the seysáb, (of which see another reading voce سَبْسَبٌ, in art. سب,) meaning, like arrows], it may be that السيساب is a dial. var. of السَّيْسَب, or it may be that the ا is added for the sake of the rhyme like as it is in العَقْرَاب in a verse cited in art. عقرب. (M. [Accord. to the K and TA, ↓ السَّيْسَاب is used by Ru-beh for السَّيْسَبَان: but this is evidently a mistake.])

سَيْسَبٌ ذ : see the preceding paragraph: ― -b2- and see also سَيْسَبَانٌ.

سَيْسَبَا ذ , and سَيْسَبَى, and سَيْسَبًى, and سَيْسَبَاآءُ: see the paragraph that next follows.

سَيْسَبَانٌ ذ and ↓ سَيْسَبَى, (K,) or the former and ↓ سَيْسَبَاآءُ, which is mentioned by Th, (M,) A kind of tree; (M, K;) accord. to AHn, it grows from its seeds, and becomes tall, but does not endure the winter; it has leaves like those of the دِفْلَى [q. v.], beautiful; people sow it in the gardens, desiring its beauty; and it has a produce like the oblong pericarps (خَرَائِط) of sesame, but thinner: (M, TA:) AHn adds that, when its pericarps dry, it makes a rustling sound ( a sound such as is termed خَشْخَشَة) [ in the wind ], like the [ species of cassia called ] عِشْرِق: (TA:) [the sesbania Aegytiaca of Persoon; æschynomene sesban of Linn.; (Delile, Flor. Aegypt. Illustr., no. 682;) dolichos sesban of Forskål (in his Flora Aegypt. Arab, p. lxx., no. 362):] AHn further says, وَحَكَى الفَرَّاآءُ فِيهِ سَيْسَبًا: (M, TA:) [this may perhaps mean that Fr has mentioned, as a var. of this word, ↓ سَيْسَبٌ, as it is in the accus. case: but I think that the right reading is ↓ سَيْسَبًى, and also سَيْسَبَى, (which last has been mentioned above on the authority of the K,) for it is immediately added in the TA, “ it is masc. and fem., ” app. indicating that it is with, and without, tenween: then it is there further and strangely added, “ it is brought from India: ”] a rájiz uses the form ↓ السَّيْسَبَا, at the end of a verse, for السَّيْسَبَانَ, necessarily eliding [the ن for the sake of the rhyme]. (M, TA.)

سَيْسَابٌ ذ : see the first paragraph, in two places.

سَاسَمٌ ذ , without ء, (AHát, TA,) A kind of tree, of which arrows are made: (AHát, M:) a kind of black tree: (S, K:) or a kind of tree (AHn, M, K) of the mountains, of the [ sort termed ] عُتُق, (AHn, M,) of which bows are made: (AHn, M, K:) or, (K,) as some assert, (AHn, M,) the [ tree called ] اآبِنُوس [i. e. ebony ]: (AHn, M, K:) or, (K,) as others assert, (AHn, M,) the [ tree called ] شِيز: (AHn, M, K: [in some copies of the K شِيزَى, which means the same:]) but neither of these two is suitable for bows. (AHn, M.)

أُسْطُبَّةٌ ذ [an arabicized word, app. from the Greek σύππη σύπη ,] Tow; i. e. what falls from flax in the process of combing. (K. [See also art. صطب.])

مَسْطَبَةٌ ذ and مِسْطَبَةٌ are sings. of مَسَاطِبُ, which signifies The [ wide benches, of stone or brick &c., generally built against a wall, called ] دَكَاكِين, upon which people sit: (AZ, K:) [and particularly such as surround the court of a mosque: for] one says, رَأَيْتُهُمْ قَاعِدِينَ عَلَى المَسَاطِبِ, mean- ing [ I saw them sitting upon ] the دَكَاكِين around the court of the mosque. (A. [See also art. صطب.]) ― -b2- The pl. also signifies Blacksmiths' anvils. (IAar, K.
