And شَطَبَتِ الجَرِيدَ, [aor. ـُ {يَشْطُبُ},] inf. n. شَطْبٌ, She (a woman) split the palm-sticks, or palmbranches stripped of their leaves, to make of them mats: which being done, says AʼObeyd, [or when they have been peeled,] the شَاطِبَة [q.v.] throws them to the مُنَقِّيَة.

شَطَبَ also signifies It inclined, or declined, turned aside or away, deflected, or deviated, and became distant, or remote; (Aṣ, O, Ḳ;) and so شَطَفَ; and both signify it went away. (Aṣ, TA.) One says, شَطَبَ عَنْهُ It turned aside or away, and became distant, or remote, from him, or it. (Ḳ.) Thus, in a trad., شَطَبَ الرُّمْحُ عَنْ مَقْتَلِهِ The spear deflected from, and failed to reach, his vital part.

شُطْبَةٌ (Ṣ, Ḳ) andشِطْبَةٌ↓ (Ḳ) andشَطْبَةٌ↓ (TA) andشُطَبَةٌ↓, (Ḳ,) which last is said by some to be a n. un. of شُطَبٌ [mentioned in what follows as a pl.], (MF,) A [raised] line (طَرِيقَة, Ṣ, O, or طَرِيق, Ḳ, [meaning a ridge, and sometimes also a depressed line, as shown voce مُشَطَّبٌ, i. e. a channel,]) in the مَتْن [i. e. broad side, or middle of the broad side, of the blade] (Ṣ, O) of a sword: (Ṣ, O, Ḳ:) pl. شُطَبٌ and شُطُبٌ, (Ṣ, O,) or شُطُوبٌ and شُطَبٌ and شُطُبٌ: (Ḳ: [in which it is said that the pl. is شُطُوبٌ and شُطَبٌ like غُرَفٌ and كُتُبٌ: but I think that شُطُوبٌ is a mistranscription, and that the right reading is شُطَبٌ and شُطُبٌ like غُرَفٌ and كُتُبٌ:]) hence it would seem that شُطَبٌ and شُطُبٌ are pls. of one sing.; but Ibn-Hishám El-Lakhmee expressly states that the former is pl. of شُطْبَةٌ; and the latter, of شَطِيبَةٌ↓; (MF;) of which شَطَائِبُ also is a pl.; (L in art. عمد;) and which signifies [the same as شُطْبَةٌ, i. e.] the rising عَمُود [i. e. the ridge] in the مَتْن of a sword.
