(Msb, TA.) ― -b2- الشَّتَوِىُّ , (S, K,) thus with fet-h to the ش and ت , (K,) signifies also The rain of the [season called] شِتَا=ء ; and so ↓ الشَّتِىُّ ; (S, K;) the latter occurring in a verse (S, TA) of En-Nemir Ibn-Towlab.

Winter]; (S;) one of the quarters [of the circle] of the seasons; (K;) and ↓ شَاتَاةٌ signifies the same; (Sgh, K;) [and so does ↓ شَتِيَّةٌ ; (see an ex. voce رِبْعِىٌّ ;)] and so does ↓ مَشْتَاةٌ : (Msb, TA:) [also the half-year commencing at the autumnal equinox:] ISk says, السَّنَةُ is with the Arabs a name for twelve months: then they divided it into two halves, and commenced the سَنَة [or year] at the commencement of the شِتَا=ء because this word is masc. and the word صَيْف [meaning in this case the “ half-year commencing at the vernal equinox ”] is fem.: then they divided the شِتَا=ء into two halves; the شتوى being the former; and the ربيع , the latter; [but this is a manifest mistake, probably attributable to a copyist; for, as is well known, the former half is called the رَبِيع ; and the latter, the شِتَا=ء or ↓ شَتْوَة ;] each consisting of three months; and in like manner the صَيْف and the قَيْظ consist, each, of three months: (TA:) also one of the six seasons into which the year is divided, each whereof consists of two months; namely, the season [commencing in November and ending in January,] next after that called الخَرِيفُ : (S and K voce رَبِيعٌ : [see this word; and see, again, the former of the two tables mentioned above:]) accord. to Mbr, (S,) شِتَا=ءٌ is pl. of ↓ شَتْوَةٌ ; (S, Msb, K;) it is said to be so by IF on the authority of Kh, and by some on the authority of Fr or some other: or شِتَا=ءٌ and ↓ شَتْوَةٌ signify the same, (K,) as is said in the M; (TA;) [i. e.] some say that الشِّتَا=ءُ is a proper name for the quarter [&c.]: (Msb:) the pl. is أَشْتِيَةٌ , (S, Msb, K,) i. e. pl. of شِتَا=ءٌ , (S, Msb,) because أَفْعِلَةٌ , as pl. of فِعَالٌ , is peculiar to a masc. [noun]; (Msb;) and شُتِىٌّ also, (K, TA,) originally أُشْتُوىٌ [a mistake for شُتُوىٌ ], written in the Tekmileh شِتِىٌّ , as on the authority of Fr.: (TA:) the pl. of its syn. ↓ مَشْتَاةٌ is مَشَاتٍ .

(TA.) ― -b3- And Drought, or dearth: (K, and Ham pp. 117 and 150:) this meaning being assigned to the شتا=ء exclusively of the صَيْف because in it the people keep to the tents, not going forth to seek after herbage.
