pl. of طَرِيقَةٌ,
q. v.]: (
TA:) and also a وَتِد [
app. meaning a tent-peg]; thus in the
K, and the like is said in the
M; those who make الوَتِدُ in the
K to be conjoined with سرادق [as though the author meant that طنب signifies a long rope with which the سرادق of the tent, and the peg, are tied, or made fast,] being in error: (
TA: [but in my opinion, this reading which is disallowed in the
TA is more probably correct than the other: in the
CK, and in my
MS. copy of the
K, instead of وَالوَتِدُ, we find او الوتد: in a copy of the
A, او الوَتِرُ, an obvious mistranscription:]) the
pl. is أَطْنَابٌ (
S,
O,
Msb,
K) and طِنَبَةٌ; (
K;) and some of the lexicologists assert that طُنُبٌ is used as a
sing. like عُنُقٌ, and as a
pl. like كُتُبٌ; (
MF,
TA;) and Ibn-es-Sarráj says, in one place of his book, that it has no other
pl. than أَطْنَابٌ; but in another place he says that it has this
pl. accord. to those who give it a
pl., thus giving to understand that there is a difference of opinion as to the plural's being allowable, and that it is used in one form as
sing. and
pl., which is the case: (
Msb,
TA:) the أَطْنَاب are the أَوَاخِىّ [
pl. of آخِيَّةٌ], i. e. the long ropes of the أَخْبِيَة [
pl. of خِبَآء]; the short ropes being called أُصُرٌ,
sing. إِصَارٌ: the former are the ropes with which the tent is tied, or made fast, between the ground and the طَرَائِق. (
TA.)
