سِتْر: يا ستر الله، حماني الله، ففي ألف ليلة (1: 73) فقال الحَّمال يا ستر الله يا ستى لا تقتليني بذنب غيري.
الستر الأشْرَف: لقب أم الخليفة (ابن جبير ص224) وانظر فريتاج وهي بمعنى مستورة.
السِتْر: المشرف، المكرم، وأهل السِتْر الرجال الأشراف الأمجاد (مملوك 2، 2: 23) وعبارة المقري التي نقلت فيه (وقد سقطت منها فيه) موجودة في (1: 693)، (تاريخ البربر 1: 233، ابن بطوطة 1: 416 وقد أسيئت ترجمتها).
السِتْر: الصلاح والحياة الدينية وأهل الستر: رجال الدين، أهل التقوى. (مملوك 2، 2: 23 معجم البيان كرتاس ص67). الستر: الإحسان والمعروف (هلو).
السِتْر: الابتهاج والحبور والسرور (رولاند).
سِتْر: قماش تصنع منه الستائر، والنضائد والفرش والحشايا والوسائد وما أشبه ذلك. اسبينا مجلة الشرق والجزائر 13: 157 هل هي سُتور؟.
سِتْرَة: ما تستر به العورة (محيط المحيط).
سُتْرَة. بالسترة: سراً، خفية (فوك).
سُتْرَة: أدب، حشمة، حياء (ألكالا). وينقل كاترمير في مملوك (2، 2: 34) هذه العبارة المأخوذة من تاريخ بطاركة الإسكندرية ما ثبت فيه من الأمانة والسترة المرضية ويقول العبدري (ص58 و) في كلامه عرب اليمن المعروفين بالسَرْو الذين ينقلون الطعام إلى مكة والعرا فيهم فاش إلا السُتْرَة. ولا أدري ماذا تعني هذه الكلمة هنا، فهل هي تعني الرجال ذوي الأدب والحشمة؟ أم أن في النص نقصاً؟.
سِتْرِي: رداء قصير يلبس فوق الثياب (محيط المحيط).
سِتَار: حديدة تطلق بها البندقية، زنبرك (بوشر).
سَتِير: من يستر خطيئة قريبه (ألف ليلة 2: 93) سِتَارَة: مغنيات الأغنياء. وهو استعمال مجازي لكلمة سِتارَة بمعنى السِتار الذي يسدل ليحجب ما وراءه، وذلك لأن المغنيات كن يغنين من وراء ستارة تحجبهن عن السامعين (عباد 2: 40 رقم 2).
سِتّارة لَهْو: موضع في الدار يغنى فيه ويرقص (المقري 2: 222) ولابد أن ستارة الخليفة تدل على هذا. وفي ستارة المتوكل كانوا يشربون الخمر بإفراط كما يستدل عليه من منتخبات من تاريخ العرب (ص554) وكانوا يفعلون هذا سراً من وراء ستارة.
سِتَارة: مظلَّة تنصب للنساء في المأتمة إذا وقفن للنوح خارج البيوت (محيط المحيط) أصحاب الستائر: موظفو الحرم، ففي ألف ليلة (1: 222): طائفة من الخدّام الموكَّلين بالحريم وأصحاب الستائر.

سِتَارة: ملاءة النساء البيضاء الواسعة (برجرن) سُتُوري: صانع الستائر (ألف ليلة 2: 217، 220) سَتَائِريّ. يقول ابن بطوطة (3: 287) الستائريون في الهند هم الذين كانوا يحفظون الدواب في باب المشْور أي قاعة الانتظار. وأظن هذه الكلمة نسبة إلى ستارة بمعنى جُلّّ فهي لذلك تعنى السائس أي خادم الإسطبل.
وأرى إنها نفس الكلمة التي يذكرها الرحالة الأوربيون فأنا نقرأ لدى مارمول (2: 99) ((وقائد آخر مسؤول عن السعاة أو الخدم الذي يمشون إلى جانب الجواد الذين يطلق عليهم اسم الستيرية وهؤلاء يقومون بحمل الطعام إلى مقر الملك، واستدعاء من يريد الملك التحدث معه، وإذا ما أراد الملك عقوبة شخص في حضرته فهم الذين يتولون تنفيذ أوامره، ثم إذا أراد الملك ركوب جواده تقدموه واحدهم يحمل رمحاً بجانب السائس، والثاني يمسك باللجام والثالث يحمل الحذاء)). وتوريس (ص168، 317، 337، 392) يكتب الكلمة: سيتارز وسيتيرس وسَتيرس، لا يضيف على هذا شيئا إلا قوله ((وكان للشريف ثلاثمائة منهم حين كنت هناك. وأكثرهم مسلمون سود أو خلاسيون أي أبناء السود والبيض)).
ويقول شارنت (ص52) إن الستارية هم أعوان القاضي. وكذلك يقول موكيت (ص179، 400) وينقل كاترمير (مملوك (1، 1: 51) العبارة الأولى من الرحالة الذي ذكرته أخيراً، وهو يرجعها إلى كلمة شاطر، وقد كنت أرى من قبل أيضاً أن كلاً من نوريس وشارنت إنما يريدون هذه الكلمة (عباد 1: 408 رقم 70)، والــخلط بينهما يسير لأن كلمتي شاطر وستائري لا تختلفان كثيراً في المعنى غير أن الطريقة التي يكتب بها الرحالة هذه الكلمة تحملني على الاعتقاد الآن أنهم يريدون بها كلمة ستائري. سَتّار. يا ستّار: يا الله، (بوشر).
سَتّار: من يخفي الأشياء المسروقة أو العبيد الآبقين (ألكالا).
ساتِر: اسم من أسماء الله الحسنى مثل سَتَّار. ويقال يا ساتر حين تخشى المرأة سقوط نصفيها فيرى وجهها صدفة أو حين الخشية من السقوط عن الدابة (برقوف 2: 128) مِسْتَرَة اللحاف: الطاق الذي تحت الكلحفة. (محيط المحيط).
مَسْتُور، وجمعها مستورون ومساتير: من كان في مركز شريف كريم (مملوك 2، 2: 32).
مسْتُور: رجل يعتزل الناس اتضاعاً ويلجأ إلى الخلوة وينصرف إلى العبادة (مملوك 2، 2: 31، عبد الواحد ص12، 209).
مَسْتُور: من لا يملك فوق حاجته (محيط المحيط).
مَسْتُورَة: الذرة في تونس وطرابلس، وسميت بذلك لأن سنبلتها تشبه المرأة المستورة بالبرقع (يا جنى ص31، يراكس مجلة الشرق والجزائر 7: 262، 8: 345).
