فثر
فَاثُورٌ A [basin such as is termed] طَسْت; (
M,
L,
K;) thus it means with the vulgar: (
L:) or a طَسْت of gold, or of silver: (
O:) or the طَسْتَخَان, (
T,
K,) or طَشْتَخَان, (
O, and so in some copies of the
K,) [i. e. a large circular tray, of brass or other metal, which serves as a table for food, being generally placed upon a stool, the persons who eat sitting on the floor]; (
Lth,
T,
Z,
O,
K;) thus it means with the vulgar: (
Lth,
T,
Z, O:) or a خِوَان [or table upon which food is eaten], made of marble, (
Lth,
T,
S,
M,
O,
K,) by the people of Syria, who thus call it, (
Lth,
T,
O,) or of silver, (
T,
S,
M,) and the like, (
S,) or of gold: (
M,
K:) or of any kind
accord. to some: (
TA:) or a جَام [
q. v.] of silver, (
T,
Nh,
TA,) or of gold: (
Nh,
TA:) [but this seems to be virtually a repetition; for it is said that] ↓ فَاثُورِيَّةٌ, occurring in a verse of Lebeed, means أَخْوِنَةٌ [
pl. of pauc. of خِوَانٌ] (
T, O) and جَامَاتٌ [which is
pl. of جَامٌ
accord. to
IAar, or of جَامَةٌ
accord. to
IB, who holds جَامٌ to be likewise a
pl. of جَامَةٌ]: (
T:) فَاثُورٌ is a word of the people of Syria and ElJezeereh: (
M:) and it signifies (
S,
O,
L) in the
dial. of the people of El-Jezeereh, (
L,) a مَائِدَة [sometimes meaning table in an absolute sense, but properly one with food upon it]: (
S,
O,
L:) [hence,] one says, هُمْ عَلَى فَاثُورٍ وَاحِدٍ (
Lth,
T,
S,
M,
O,
L,
TA) i. e. عَلَى مَائِدَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ, (
S,
O,
L,
TA,) and مَنْزِلَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ, (
S,
O,
TA,) and بَسَاطٍ
وَاحِدٍ, (
O,
TA, [in both of which the former word is without any vowel-sign to the ب so that it may be either بَسَاطٍ or بِسَاطٍ,]) or بَسْطٍ واحدٍ, (
TT as from the
M,) or as though meaning على بساطٍ
واحدٍ, thus
expl. by
Lth, as said of the people of Syria and El-Jezeereh: (
TT as from the
T:) [it means,
app., They are living upon one kind of fare; upon one footing; upon one level or stratum:] in the copies of the
K, [or in the generality of the copies thereof,] الفَاثُورُ is
expl. as signifying المَنْزِلَةُ and النَّشَاطُ; but النشاط is a mistake for البساط. (
TA. [My
MS. copy of the
K has the right reading (البساط), without any trace of alteration.])
b2: Also (
tropical:) The breast, or bosom: (
K:) or a wide breast or bosom; applied by a poet to that of a woman; as being likened to the خِوَان so called. (
M.)

TA.)
b5: And A [vessel such as is termed] نَاجُود and بَاطِيَة (
AA,
T,
O,
K) and مِصْحَاة; all which words mean the same thing. (
AA,
O,
TA.)
b6: And,
accord. to the
R, A [molten piece such as is termed] سَبِيكَة of silver: and some say, a silver إِبْرِيق [or ewer]. (
TA.)
