سطن سطو سعب


1. ⇒ سطوسطى

سَطَا بِهِ (Ṣ, M, Mṣb, Ḳ, &c.) and عَلَيْهِ (M, Mṣb, Ḳ,) aor. يَسْطُو, (Mṣb,) inf. n. سَطْوٌ (Ṣ, M, Mṣb, Ḳ) and سَطْوَةٌ, (M, Mṣb, Ḳ,) or the latter is an inf. n. un., (Ṣ,) He sprang, or rushed, upon him; made an assault, or attack, upon him; syn. صَالَ: (M, Ḳ:) he sprang upon him and seized him violently or laid violent hands upon him: (Bḍ in xxii. 71:) he seized him violently with uplifted hand: (Er-Rághib, TA:) he overbore him, overpowered him, or subdued him, (قَهَرَهُ, Lth, Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ, or تَطَاوَلَ عَلَيْهِ, T, TA,) by seizing him violently, or laying violent hands upon him, (Lth, Ṣ, Ḳ,) and abased him; or he seized him with great violence: (Mṣb:) or he stretched forth his hand to him [to seize him]. (Th, M, TA.) And in like manner, (M,) one says of a stallion [camel], يَسْطُو عَلَى طَرُوقَتِهِ [He springs, or rushes, upon, or he overbears, the she-camel that he covers]. (Ṣ, M.*)

Root: سطو - Entry: 1. Signification: A2

سَطَا عَلَى النَّاقَةِ, (Ṣ, M, Ḳ,) and الفَرَسِ, inf. n. سَطْوٌ and سُطُوٌّ, (M,) He (the pastor) put his hand into the رَحِم [or vulva] of the she-camel, (Ṣ, M, Ḳ,) and of the mare, (M,) to extract, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) or and extracted, (M,) the sperma of the stallion: (Ṣ, M, Ḳ:) when this is not extracted, the she-camel does not conceive: (Ṣ:) or this is done when she has been leaped by a stallion of low race; or when the sperma is bad, and she has not conceived in consequence of it. (M.) And He extracted from her (i. e. a she-camel, TA) the fœtus, dead: (M, TA:) and مَسَطَ signifies “he extracted the sperma of the stallion:” thus Az distinguishes between the two verbs. (TA.) Accord. to IAạr, one says, سَطَا عَلَى الحَامِلِ, and سَاطَ, which is formed by transposition, meaning He extracted the fœtus, or young one, of the pregnant female. (TA.) And AʼObeyd mentions السَّطْوُ as used in relation to a woman: it is said in a trad. of El-Ḥasan, لَا بَأْسَ أَنْ يَسْطُوَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى المَرْأَةِ [There is, or will be, no harm in the man's extracting the fœtus of the woman]; (M, TA;) which Lth explains by saying, when her child sticks fast in her belly, dead, it may be extracted [by him] when fear is entertained for her and a woman is not found to do this. (TA.)

Root: سطو - Entry: 1. Signification: A3

Also, said of a horse, He went with wide step: (Ṣ, M, Ḳ:) or raised his tail in running; the doing of which is approved. (M.)

3. ⇒ ساطوساطى

ساطاهُ, (Ḳ,) inf. n. مُسَاطَاةٌ, (TA,) He treated him with hardness, severity, or rigour: (Ḳ, TA:) so says Az, on the authority of IAạr. (TA.)

(TA.)
