S,
M,
A,
K:) derived from سَنَةٌ; the و being changed into ت, [for سَنَةٌ is originally سَنْوَةٌ, or,
accord. to one
dial. سَنْهَةٌ,] to distinguish between this verb and أَسْنَى as signifying “ he remained in a place a year: ” or, as
Fr says, they imagined the ه [meaning ة, in سَنَةٌ,] to be a radical letter, finding it to be the third letter, and therefore changed it into ت: (
S:)
accord. to
Sb, the ت [in أَسْنَتَ] is substituted for the ى [in أَسْنَى]; and there is no instance of the like except ثِنْتَانِ [in which the ت is substituted for the final radical, ى], (
M in the present art.,) and in words of the measure اِفْتَعَلَ [as اِتَّسَرَ for اِيتَسَرَ]. (
