From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root حوت. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

حَاتَ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ , aor. يَحُوتُ , (S,) inf. n. حَوْتٌ and حَوَتَانٌ , (K,) (assumed tropical:) He went, or circuited, round about the thing; said of a bird, (S, K, TA,) going, or circuiting, round about water [like a fish ( حُوت ) in water]; (TA;) and of a wild animal: (K:) as also حات بِهِ . (TA.)
