From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root سطو. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.
سَطَا بِهِ (S, M, Msb, K, &c.) and عَلَيْهِ (M, Msb, K,) aor. يَسْطُو , (Msb,) inf. n. سَطْوٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and سَطْوَةٌ , (M, Msb, K,) or the latter is an inf. n. un., (S,) He sprang, or rushed, upon him; made an assault, or attack, upon him; syn. صَالَ : (M, K:) he sprang upon him and seized him violently or laid violent hands upon him: (Bd in xxii. 71:) he seized him violently with uplifted hand: (Er-Rághib, TA:) he overbore him, overpowered him, or subdued him, ( قَهَرَهُ , Lth, S, Msb, K, or تَطَاوَلَ عَلَيْهِ , T, TA,) by seizing him violently, or laying violent hands upon him, (Lth, S, K,) and abased him; or he seized him with great violence: (Msb:) 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]. (S, M. *) ― -b2- سَطَا عَلَى النَّاقَةِ , (S, M, K,) and الفَرَسِ , inf. n. سَطْوٌ and سُطُوٌّ , (M,) He (the pastor) put his hand into the رَحِم [or vulva] of the she-camel, (S, M, K,) and of the mare, (M,) to extract, (S, K,) or and extracted, (M,) the sperma of the stallion: (S, M, K:) when this is not extracted, the she-camel does not conceive: (S:) 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 IAar, 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 A'Obeyd mentions السَّطْوُ as used in relation to a woman: it is said in a trad. of El-Hasan, 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.) ― -b3- سَطَا said of a horse, (M, K,) inf. n. سَطْوٌ , (M,) He went at random, heedlessly, or in a headlong manner, not obeying guidance. (M, K.) ― -b4- Also, said of a horse, He went with wide step: (S, M, K:) or raised his tail in running; the doing of which is approved. (M.) ― -b5- Also (tropical:) It was, or became, abundant, or copious; said of water. (S, M, Msb, K, TA.) ― -b6- And (tropical:) He tasted food; (K, TA;) and took it with the hand, or with the extended hand. (TA.) ― -b7- And i. q. عَاقَبَ [app. as meaning He punished: see سَطْوَةٌ , below]. (M, TA.) ― -b8- And سَطَاهَا He compressed her; [and so سَطَأَهَا and شَطَأَهَا ;] on the authority of Aboo-Sa'eed. (TA.)
ساطاهُ , (K,) inf. n. مُسَاطَاةٌ , (TA,) He treated him with hardness, severity, or rigour: (K, TA:) so says Az, on the authority of IAar. (TA.) ― -b2- And He treated him with gentleness, or tenderness. (IAar, T, TA.) Thus it has two contr. significations. (TA.)
سَطْوَةٌ [as a simple subst., or] as an inf. n. un., has for its pl. سَطَوَاتٌ . (S.) It signifies [A spring, or rush; or an assault, or attack: &c.: (see 1, first sentence:) impetuosity in war or battle:] a reviling: a beating: and punishment, or chastisement; as in the saying, اِتَّقِ سَطْوَتَهُ [Guard thyself against his punishment, or chastisement; or it may mean in this phrase, his violence, or impetuosity]. (TA.)
سَاطٍ [act. part. n. of 1, Springing, or rushing; making an assault, or attack: &c. ― -b2- Hence,] applied to a horse, That springs, or rushes, upon other horses, and stands upon his hind legs and attacks with his fore legs: (T, TA: [in the Ham p. 383, and raises his fore legs:]) or a horse wide in step: (As, S, M, K:) or that attacks other horses: (S:) or that raises his tail in his running; (S, M, K;) the doing of which is approved. (M.) ― -b3- And A stallion-camel excited by lust, and going forth from camels to other camels (S, K) in consequence thereof. (S.) ― -b4- And What is tall, or long, (K, TA,) of camels &c. (TA.) ― -b5- الأَيْدِى السَّوَاطِى The hands that reach, or take, or take hold of, a thing. (TA.)
