Classical Arabic - English Dictionary

خُرَةُ الفَأْسِ, as in the Tekmileh, on the authority of Fr; in the Ḳ and accord. to Ṣgh, خُرْوَةُ↓ الفَأْسِ, which is a mistake; (TA;) The خُرْت [q. v. in art. خرت] of the فأس: pl. خُرَاتٌ; (Fr, Ṣgh, Ḳ, TA;) like as ثُبَةٌ has for its pl. ثُبَاتٌ. (TA.)

الخَرَاتَانِ Two stars, (Ḳ,) mentioned [and described] in art. خرت, (TA,) each of which is [said to be] called خَرَاةٌ: (Ḳ:) accord. to ISd, only the dual form of the word is known; and the radical ت and the augmentative ت [by which latter is meant ة] are in the dual alike: (TA:) but Kr and others say that it is dual of خَرَاةٌ, and belongs to this art. (TA in art. خرت.)
