Nounشَاطِئٌ1 sense

Core sense — the bank, or side, of a valley or river; the sea-shoregenerated

1the bank, or side, of a valley and of a riverشَطْءٌ

Explained by شَطّ and by جَانِب.

Some say that the first word means the extremity, or edge, or side of a river, and also the shore of the sea.

The plural of the second word is شُطُوْءٌ; of the first, شَوَاطِئُ and شُطْآنٌ; though this last, as said in the M, may be a plural of شَطْءٌ.

According to the S one says also شَاطِئُ الأَوْدِيَةِ [meaning the sides of the valleys], not assigning any plural to شاطئ; but the truth is that the plural is as stated above.

Qur’ānic occurrences شَٰطِئ
28:30

But when he came to the (fire), a voice was heard from the right bank of the valley, from a tree in hallowed ground: "O Moses! Verily I am Allah, the Lord of the Worlds....

Occurrences of this form in the Qur’ān, not Lane’s choice of verse. They show the word in use; they do not say which sense above applies. Where more occur than are shown, the shortest āyāt are chosen.
