سبط

It (hair) was, or became, lank, not crisp.; and سَبُطَ.

Maṣdar of the first verb سَبَطٌ, or سَبْطٌ (so in the K, as is remarked in the TA), and سُبُوطَةٌ, which belongs to the latter verb, and سَبَاطَةٌ and سُبُوطٌ, which also belong to the latter verb.

Or the first verb is used in this sense, said of hair, and the second is said of a man: he was, or became, lank, not crisp, in his hair.

The adjective applied to her in this case is مُسَبِّطٌ [without ة].

Ibn-Jebeleh.

He (a man) stretched himself out on the ground after being beaten, or the like.

He fell on the ground and could not move, from weakness, or from drinking medicine, or some other cause; on the authority of AZ.

A grandchild: a son's child, or a daughter's child. Plural أَسْبَاطٌ, which common people use for daughters' children, distinguishing it from أَحْفَادٌ [which they apply to sons' children, plural of حَفِيدٌ]; but the leading lexicologists state plainly that it covers both sons' children and daughters' children, as ISd says it does.

IAar explained سِبْطٌ, سِبْطَانِ and أَسْبَاطٌ as the specially distinguished and choicest of children.

The ism waḥda is with ة, and the plural is أَسْبَاطٌ.

Also the tree that has many branches and one أَصْل [meaning stem]: so says Az, adding that from this is derived أَسْبَاطٌ [plural of سِبْطٌ], as though the father were the tree and the children the branches. (But this is questionable.)
