Nounصِيصِيَةٌ7 senses · 1 main

Core sense — a weaver's implement for evening warp and woof; a horn; a fortressgenerated

1the weaver's [implement] with which he makes the warp and the woof even—شَوْكَة

Also written صِيصَةٌ, so in all the copies of the K, but that is a mistake, or else a contracted form.

IB says that its last radical letter is ى, not ص, so it should be mentioned among the class of infirm words.

Plural صَيَاصٍ.

1.1

Hence: the spur of the cock.

1.2

[Hence also:] the horn of the bull or cow, and of the gazelle. Plural as above, meaning the horns of bulls or cows.

Such horns were sometimes fixed upon spears instead of the iron heads.

In a tradition, conflict and faction, or sedition, is likened to horns called by this name, because of how grievous it is.

Some say that the singular is صِيصَةٌ [as in the K], contracted.

1.3

And hence: a wooden pin, or peg, with which dates are plucked out [when they are compacted in a mass, closely adhering together, in the receptacle of woven palm-leaves, or the like, in which they are packed]; it is likened to the horn of a bull or cow.

In this sense the word is written صِيصَةٌ, and a certain poet changes it to صِيصَجّ.

1.4

[Hence also:] anything with which one defends himself. Plural as above.

[In the CK the plural is wrongly written صَيَاصِى, as though it had the article ال prefixed to it, or were itself prefixed to another noun; otherwise it is written and pronounced] with the final ى dropped.

1.5

[Hence also:] a fortress; plural in this sense as above.

1.6

[Hence also:] a pastor who manages [and protects] his herds or flocks well; in this sense also written صِيصَةٌ.
