[In a copy of the S and in one of the K, I find قُمل: in another of the S and another of the K, and in the CK, and in a copy of the M, قَمْل: the right reading apears to be قُمَّل; for this last word is said by some to be syn. with سُوس.]) You also say, when you are gradually perishing by reason of grief, (اـِذَا تَهَالَكْتَ غَمًّا,) عَظْمِى وَدَوَّدَ لَحْمِى ↓ سَوَّسَ (tropical:) [ My bone has bred grubs, and so my flesh ].

(K.) Accord. to a relation of a verse of El-Hotei-ah, he uses the expression سَوَّسْتَ أمْرَ بَنِيكَ [as though meaning Thou hast ruled the affairs of thy sons ]; but Fr says that سَوَّسْتَ is a mistake. (S. [Thus I find it in one copy of the S: but in another copy of the S, I find سَوَّسْتِ, which is clearly wrong; and in the TA, سُوِّسْتَ, which Fr can hardly be supposed to have disallowed.]) ― -b3- سَوَّسَ لَهُ أَمْرًا (assumed tropical:) He made an affair easy to him; syn. رُوَّضَهُ and ذَلَّلَهُ.

(K.)

1 سَاطَهُ ذ , [aor. يَسُوطُ,] (M,) inf. n. سَوْطٌ, (S, M, K,) He mixed it, (S, M, K,) one part with another, (S,) and stirred it about, and beat it; (M;) as also ↓ سوّطهُ, (M, K, *) inf. n. تَسْوِيطٌ: (K:) or سَوْطٌ signifies the putting together two things in a vessel, then beating them with the hand until they become mixed: (Jm, K:) or, accord. to some, it relates particularly to a cooking-pot, when its contents are mixed: (M:) you say, سَاطَ قِدْرَهُ بِالمِسْوَطِ [ he mixed, and stirred about, and beat, the contents of his cooking-pot with the مِسْوَط, q. v.]: (TA:) but you say also, سَاطَ الهَرِيسَةَ, and ↓ سَوَّطَهَا, he stirred about the [ food called ] هريسة with a piece of wood, in order that it might become mixed: (TA:) or ↓ سوّطهُ signifies he mixed it much.

(K, TA.) -A2- سَاطَهُ, (M,) aor. يَسُوطُ, (S,) inf. n. سَوْطٌ, (M, K,) He whipped him; struck him with a سَوْط; (S, M, K;) namely, a beast, and a man. (TA.) ― -b2- سَاوَطَنِى فَسُطْتُهُ: see 3.

2 سَوَّطَ see 1, in six places. -A2- سَوَّطَ الكُرَّاثُ, (M, K,) inf. n. تَسْوِيطٌ, (K,) (tropical:) The leeks put forth their سِيَاط [or seed-stalks: see سَوْطٌ]. (M, K, TA.)

3 سَاْوَطَ ↓ سَاوَطَنِى فَسُطْتُهُ, aor. of the latter أَسُوطُهُ: thus mentioned by Lh, without any addition: app. meaning He acted roughly with me with his whip, or he contended with me therewith, and I overcame him [ with my whip ]: a mode of expression which is rare in relation to substances; rather relating to accidents, or attributes. (M.)

8 اـِسْتَوَطَ 2, which is extr., [for by rule it should be اِسْتَاطَ,] It (a thing) was, or became, mixed. (M.) ― -b2- [Hence,] اِسْتَوَطَ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرُهُ (tropical:) His affair, or case, was, or became, confused, or disordered, to him. (M, K, * TA.)

سَوْطٌ ذ [ A whip; ] a certain thing, (S, M,) namely, plaited skin, (Bd in lxxxix. 12,) [or a lash, ] with which one beats, or strikes, (S, M,) well known; (Msb;) i. q. مِقْرَعَةٌ: (K:) so called because it mixes the flesh with the blood (IDrd, M, K) when a man or a beast is struck with it; (IDrd, TA;) or because its several component parts are mixed together: (Bd, ubi suprà:) pl. [of pauc.] أَسْوَاطٌ and [of mult.] سِيَاطٌ: (S, M, Msb, K:) the latter originally سِوَاطٌ. (TA.) The saying ضَرَبْتُ زَيْدًا سَوْطًا means ضَرَبْتُ زَيْدًا بِسَوْطٍ [ I struck Zeyd with a whip ]: (M, Msb: *) or it is one of those rare instances in which a prefixed n. is suppressed; being originally ضَرَبْتُهُ ضَرْبَةَ سَوْطٍ [ I struck him a stroke, or lash, of a whip ], meaning ضَرْبَةً بِسَوْطٍ [ a stroke, or lash, with a whip ]: (M:) or ضَرْبَةً وَاحِدَةً بِسَوْطٍ [ one stroke, or lash, with a whip ].

(Jel.) [Agreeably with this last explanation, it is said that] the phrase هُمَا يَتَعَاطَيَانِ سَوْطًا وَاحِدًا means (tropical:) They two are agreed upon one mode: (A:) or the meaning is (tropical:) [ they two enter, or plunge, into; or venture boldly upon, and do; ] one thing, or affair; (S, and K; but wanting in one copy of the former; and in the latter, in the place of هما is put ما;) i. e., one sort [ of thing or affair ]. (S.) ― -b3- [قِيدُ سَوْطٍ The measure of a whip, i. e. a whip's length, is an astronomical measure, which seems, from several instances that I have noted, in the work of Kzw &c., to be the same as رُمْحٌ is in modern usage; i. e. four degrees and a half, by rule; but, like the latter, not precise nor uniform in every instance.] ― -b4- [The pl.] سِيَاطٌ also signifies (tropical:) The seed-stalks of leeks; (TK;) the stalks, of leeks, upon which are the زَمَالِيق thereof: (M, K:) so called as being likened to the سياط with which one strikes. (M.) ― -b5- And سَوْطٌ signifies also (tropical:) A remaining portion (A, K) of water, (A,) or of a pool of water left by a torrent, (K, [in some copies of which الغَدِيل is erroneously put for الغَدِير,]) extended like the سَوْط [ with which one strikes ]: (A:) pl. سِيَاطٌ. (TA.) ― -b6- And (assumed tropical:) A place where water collects and stagnates: (K:) pl. أَسْوَاطٌ. (TA.) ― -b7- And (tropical:) A road, or track, of little width, between two elevations: pl. أَسْيَاطٌ [or سِيَاطٌ?] and أًسْوَاطٌ: so in the A: but some say شَوْطٌ, q. v. (TA.) ― -b8- Also (assumed tropical:) A kind of tent, of [ goats' ] hair. (Ibn-El-Kelbee, TA voce بَيْتٌ, q. v.) ― -b9- And سَوْطُ بَاطِلٍ (tropical:) Light entering from an aperture in a wall, in sunshine; (K, TA;) also termed خَيْطُ بَاطِلٍ: but as some say, with ش. (TA: and it is mentioned with ش in art. شوط in the S, and again in the K.)

سَوِيطٌ ذ ; fem. with ة: see مَسُوطٌ.

سَوَّاطٌ ذ The شُرَطِىّ [or officer of the prefect of police ] who has with him the سَوْط [or whip ]. (TA.)

مَسَوطٌ ذ Mixed. (TA.) So in a trad. of 'Alee with Fátimeh, [in which the former expresses the intimacy of her union with him, as though they two were one person,] مَسُوطٌ لَحْمُهَا بِدَمِى وَلَحْمِى (assumed tropical:) Her flesh is blended and mixed with my blood and my flesh. (TA.) You say also, أَمْوَالُهُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ ↓ سَوِيطَةٌ Their possessions are mixed among them; (AZ, S, K;) i. q. ↓ مُسْتَوطَةٌ. (M.)

مِسْوَطٌ ذ : see what next follows.

مِسْوَاطٌ ذ A thing with which one mixes a thing, (S, * M, K,) and stirs it about; (M;) i. e., a stick, or the like, used for that purpose; as also ↓ مِسْوَطٌ. (K.) -A2- A horse that will not put forth his power of running unless by means of the whip; (Ibn-'Abbád and K; and so in a copy of the S, on the authority of AO, but omitted in another copy;) as though (TA) keeping it in store. (S, TA.)

مُسْتَوِطٌ ذ ; fem. with ة: see مَسُوطٌ.

3 عَامَلَهُ مُسَاوَعَةً ذ [ He bargained with him for work by, or for, the hour, ] is from السَّاعَةُ, like مُيَاوَمَةً from اليَوْمُ. (S, K. [See also the last sentence of the second paragraph of art. سعى.]) [It is added in the S, that neither of them is used otherwise than thus: but accord. to SM one says also,] ساوعهُ, inf. n. سِوَاعٌ, He hired him, or took him as a hireling, for the hour. (TA.)

4 اساعهُ ذ He left to himself, or itself, left alone, or neglected, and lost, or destroyed, him, or it. (K.) Er-Rághib says, [but why, I do not well see,] that the meaning of neglecting, or the like, is imagined as derived from السَّاعَةُ. (TA.) You say, أَسَعْتُ الاـِبِلَ I left the camels to themselves, left them alone, or neglected them. (S.) And رُبَّ نَاقَةٍ تُسِيعُ وَلَدَهَا حَتَّى تَأْكُلَهُ السِّبَاعُ, meaning [ Scarce, or many, a she-camel ] leaves to itself, or leaves alone, or neglects, her young one [ so that the beasts of prey devour it ]. (TA.)

سَوْعٌ ذ and ↓ سُوَاعٌ i. q. هدْءٌ, as used in the phrase, جَاآءَنَا بَعْدَ سَوْعٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ [ He came to us after a period, or portion, of the night; or after about a third or fourth part of the night had elapsed, when men were asleep, or at rest, and the night, and the foot of the passenger, were still; or after a third part of the night ]: (S, K: *) or this phrase means he come to us after a سَاعَة [i. e. a short period, or an hour, ] of the night. (TA.).

سَاعَةٌ ذ [ An hour; ] one of the divisions of the night and the day; (Lth, K, TA;) both of which together consist of four and twenty of those divisions; each of them, when they are of equal length, consisting of twelve such divisions; (TA;) [also termed سَاعَةٌ فَلَكِيَّةٌ ( an astronomical hour; fifteen دَرَجَات of time; sixty minutes of time; ) because ساعة alone is often used in a vague sense, as meaning what is termed سَاعَةٌ زَمَانِيَّةٌ; i. e.] a time of night or of day: but used absolutely by the Arabs as meaning a time; a while; a space, or period; an indefinite [ short ] time; and a little while; (Msb;) a [ short or] little portion, or division, [or space, or period, ] of the night and of the day: (TA:) and السَّاعَةُ signifies the pre- sent time: (S, K:) pl. سَاعَاتٌ and ↓ سَاعٌ, (S, Msb, K,) [or the latter is rather a coll. gen. n. of which ساعة is the n. un.,] and سِوَاعٌ. (Msb.) It is used unrestricted in the Kur [vii. 32 and in other places], where it is said, لَا يَسْتَأْخِرُونَ سَاعَةً (Msb) They will not remain behind (Bd) for a time, or any while, (Msb,) or the shortest time: or they shall not seek to remain behind, by reason of intense terror. (Bd.) And so in a trad., where it is said, مَنْ رَاحَ فِى السَّاعَةِ الأُولَى Whoso goeth in the first time; not in the first astronomical ساعة, for then it would necessarily mean that he who should come in the latter part thereof would be on a par with the former person, which is not the case. (Msb.) [سَاعَةً signifies, as shown above, For, or during, an hour: and awhile; for a little while; during a short time; as in the phrase,] جَلَسْتُ عِنْدَكَ سَاعَةً I sat with thee, or at thine abode, for a little while, or during a short time. (TA.) [And فِى سَاعَةٍ, In a short time: in a moment. And السَّاعَةَ, Now: just now: this moment. And سَاعَتَئِذٍ, Then; at that time: or in that hour. ] And مُذْ سَاعَةٌٍ [ A little while ago; ] in the first time near to us: (K in art. انف:) or this signifies السَّاعَةَ [expl. above]. (Zj, T and M in art. انف.) [And مِنْ سَاعَتِهِ At the moment thereof; instantly. Hence, سَمَّ سَاعَةٍ An instantaneous poison. ] ― -b2- السَّاعَةُ also signifies (tropical:) The resurrection; (S, K, TA;) the raising of mankind for the reckoning; also termed السَّاعَةُ الكُبْرَى: (Er-Rághib, B:) or the time thereof: (K:) because of the quickness with which its reckoning will be accomplished: (TA:) or because it will come suddenly upon mankind, in a moment, and all creatures will die at one cry. (Zj, Az, TA.) Hence, in the Kur [liv. 1], اِقْتَرَبَتِ السَّاعَةُ (tropical:) The resurrection [or the time thereof ] hath drawn nigh. (Jel, TA.) And [in vii. 186 and lxxix. 42,] يَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ (tropical:) They ask thee concerning the resurrection [or the time thereof ]. (Bd, Jel, TA.) And [in xxxi. last verse and xliii. 85,] عِنْدَهُ عِلْمُ السَّاعَةِ (tropical:) With Him is the knowledge of the resurrection, (TA,) or of the time thereof. (Bd, Jel.) ― -b3- Also (assumed tropical:) The death of one generation; termed, for distinction, السَّاعَةُ الوُسْطَى: as in the saying of Mohammad, when he saw 'AbdAllah Ibn-Uneys, اـِنْ يَطُلْ عُمْرُ هٰذَا الغُلَامِ لَمْ يَمُتْ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ (assumed tropical:) [ If the life of this boy last long, he will not die until the death of the generation shall come to pass ]: accordingly it is said that he was the last that died of the Companions. (Er-Rághib, B.) ― -b4- Also (assumed tropical:) The death of any man; termed, for distinction, السَّاعَةُ الصُّغْرَى: as in the Kur [vi. 31], قَدْ خَسِرَ ا@لَّذَينَ كَذَّبُوا بِلِقَاآءِ ا@للّٰهِ حَتَّى اـِذَا جَاآءَتْهُمُ ا@لسَّاٰعَةُ بَغْتَةً (assumed tropical:) [ They have suffered loss who disbelieved in, or denied as false, the meeting with God until, when death came to them suddenly ]. (Er-Rághib, B) ― -b5- Also (assumed tropical:) Difficulty, distress, or affliction; and so ↓ السَّاعُ. (TA.) ― -b6- And (assumed tropical:) Distance, or remoteness. (TA.) -A2- See also سَائِعٌ.

(TA.) [See also وَدٌّ.]

هُوَ ضَائِعٌ سَائِعٌ ذ He is left to himself, left alone, or neglected. (S, * K, * TA.) ↓ سَاعَةٌ [is pl. of سَائِعٌ; and also signifies] In a state of perdition or destruction; perishing; or dying; in a pl. sense; like جَاعَةٌ as signifying جِيَاعٌ, (K,) and طَاعَةٌ as signifying مُطِيعُونَ.
