صُمْتَةٌ a subst. from صَمَتَ [as such signifying Silence, muteness, or speechlessness; like صَمْتٌ used as a subst., and صُمْتٌ &c.; and like سُكْتَةٌ and سِكْتَةٌ ].

أَصْمَتُ : see مُصْمِتٌ .

لَقِيتُهُ بِوَحْشِ اـِصْمِتَ and بِبَلْدَةِ اـِصْمِتَ AZ explains as meaning [I met him, or met with him, or found him,] in a desert place, in which was no one to cheer by his company: (S: [and in like manner the latter phrase is expl. in the M:]) accord. to Kr, بِبَلْدَةٍ اـِصْمِتَ ; but the phrase commonly known is بِبَلْدَةِ اـِصْمِتَ : (M:) or تَرَكْتُهُ بِبَلْدَةِ اـِصْمِتَ [I left him] in the desert, or waterless desert: or in such a place that it was not known where he was: (K:) and بِصَحْرَا=ءِ اـِصْمِتَ (M, K) meaning as above, (K,) or having the latter of these two meanings: (M:) and بِوَحْشِ اـِصْمِتَ and ↓ اـِصْمِتَةَ , (M, K,) mentioned, but not expl., by Lh, (M,) meaning as above, (K,) or app. meaning in the desert, or waterless desert: (M:) and some say, بِوَحْشِ الاـِصْمِتَيْنِ : (TA:) اصمت is as above, with the disjunctive alif; and also with the conjunctive [i. e. ا@صْمِتَ ]: (O, K:) it is imperfectly decl., (S, MF, TA,) because combining the quality of a proper name with the fem. gender or with the measure of a verb: (MF, TA:) it is said that the desert, or waterless desert, is thus called because in it one fears much; as though everyone [therein] said to his companion, اصمت [i. e. اُصْمُتْ or أَصْمِتْ , “ Be thou silent ”]; like as they say of a مَهْمَه that it is so called because a man [therein] says to his companion, مَهْ مَهْ : (MA:) [for] accord. to some the word اـِصْمِت is an imperative changed into a subst., and hence the ء is disjunctive, and it may be with kesr accord. to a dial. var. [of the imperative] that has not reached us: accord. to Yákoot, it is the name of a particular desert; but others say that the proper name [of that desert] is وَحْشُ اـِصْمِتَ . (TA in art. وحش .)
