, (K, TA,) first pers. غَطَوْتُ , aor. غَطُوَ , (Msb,) inf. n. غَطْوٌ ; (TA;) and غَطَى الشَّىْءَ , (K, TA,) first pers. غَطَيْتُ , aor. غَطِوَ (S, Msb,) inf. n. غَطْىٌ ; (S, TA;) and غَطَى عَلَيْهِ ; (K;) and غطّاهُ , (S, K,) inf. n. تَغْطِيَةٌ ; (S;) or this has an intensive signification; (Msb;) [but it is very often used in the sense of غَطَاهُ without teshdeed;] and اغطاهُ ; (Msb, K;) He, or it, covered, or concealed, the thing; (K and TA in explanation of all;) and came, or became, upon it, or over it. (K and TA in explanation of all except the first.) غَطَّى عَلَيْهِ المِشْمَلَةَ , a phrase used by Lh, is thought by [Sd to mean He covered [or enveloped] him with the [garment called] مشملة , i. e. غَطَّاهُ بِهَا . (TA in art. شمل .) غَطَىَ اللَّيْلُ فُلَانًا means The night clad [or covered] such a one with its darkness; as also غطّى (K.) [And the former is also said of the night as though intrans.; an objective complement being app. understood: thus,] غَطَى اللَّيْلُ , (S, K,) aor. غَطِوَ (S, TA;) as also غَطَا , aor. غَطُوَ , (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. غَطْوٌ and غُطُوٌّ ; (K, TA;) signifies The night was, or became, dark: (S, K, TA;) [and Freytag states that اغطى is used in this sense in the Deewán of Jereer; like اغضى ;] or covered, or concealed, everything with its darkness: (Msb:) or as some say, rose, and covered, and clad, everything. (TA.) اَللّٰهُمَّ ٱغْطِ عَلَى قَلْبِهِ is a saying of the Arabs, meaning أَغْشِ [i. e. O God, put Thou a covering upon, or over, his heart]. (TA.) And one says, غَطَاهُ الشَّبَابُ . inf. n. غَطْىٌ and غُطِىٌّ , [but the latter I think doubtful, for it is of a measure extr. as that of an inf. n. of a trans. v.,] meaning أَلْبَسَهُ [i. e. Youthfulness, or young manhood, clad him, or invested him as with clothes]; as also غطّاهُ . (TA.) And [using the former v. as intrans., one says,] غَطَى الشَّبَابُ , (S, K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, الشّابُّ ,]) aor. غَطِوَ , inf. n. غَطْىٌ (S, K) and غُطِىٌّ , thus in the S and accord. to ISd and IKtt and Sgh, but accord. to the K غُطْىٌ , (TA,) meaning اِمْتَلَأَ [i. e. The sap, or vigour, of youth or young manhood became full, or mantled, in a person]. (S, * K, TA.)

(TA.) And غَطَتِ النَّاقَةُ , (K, TA,) inf. n. غَطْىٌ , (TA,) The she-camel proceeded in her course, (K, TA,) and stretched forth. (TA.) And فَعَلَ بِهِ مَا غَطَاهُ is mentioned in the M as meaning سَآءَهُ [i. e. He did to him that which occasioned evil to him; or that which displeased, grieved, or vexed, him]: but this may be a mistranscription, for عَظَاهُ , which is mentioned in the K in this sense: or the two verbs may be dial. vars. (TA. [See also a similar explanation of غَطَاهُ in the first paragraph of art. شرى .])
