1 سَتَهَهُ, (
S,
K,)
aor. ـَ (
K,)
inf. n. سَتْهٌ, (
S,) He struck his اِسْت; (
S,
K;) i. e. a man's. (
S. [See اِسْت below.])
b2: And, (
K,)
inf. n. as above, (
TA,) He followed him from behind, (
K,
TA,) not quitting him; because following his اِسْت. (
TA.) 4 أُسْتِهَ He (a man) was, or became, large in the buttocks. (
TA.) سَتْهٌ and سُتْهٌ: see اِسْتٌ, below.
سِتْهٌ: see اِسْتٌ, below, in two places.
سَتَهٌ: see اِسْتٌ, below, in two places.
A2: Also Largeness of the اِسْت. (
S,
K.) سَتِهٌ; and its
fem., with ة: see أَسْتَهُ, in two places: and see what next follows.
سَتَهِىٌّ Of, or relating to, the اِسْت; and in the same sense, if you will, you may say ↓ اِسْتِىٌّ; and ↓ سَتِهٌ also, with kesr to the ت, like as they said حَرِحٌ. (
S.) سُتْهُمٌ: see أَسْتَهُ, in three places.
سُتَيْهَةٌ
dim. of اِسْتٌ, from the original of the latter, i. e. سَتَهٌ. (
TA.) سُتَاهِىٌّ: see أَسْتَهُ, in two places.
سُتَيْهِىٌّ: see what next follows.
سَيْتَهِىٌّ, thus correctly, in the handwriting of
Sgh, on the authority of
Fr; in the
K, ↓ سُتَيْهِىٌّ; (
TA;) One who always walks, or goes, at the rear of a people, or party, (
IB,
K,
TA,) remaining behind them, and looking to their goods. (
IB,
TA.) اِسْتٌ (
S,
Mgh,
K, written with the conjunctive hemzeh,
Msb in art. است) and ↓ سَتَهٌ (
S Mgh,
K) and ↓ سَتْهٌ (
K) and ↓ سِتْهٌ (
CK [but not in my
MS. copy of the
K nor in the
TA, and of doubtful authority, as will be seen from what follows,]) signify the same, (
S, *
Mgh, *
K,) i. e. The podex, buttock or buttocks, posteriors, rump, or croup; and sometimes the anus; (
S;) ↓ سَتَهٌ being the original form, as is shown by the
pl., (
S,
Mgh,) which is أَسْتَاهٌ; (
S,
Mgh,
K;) like جَمَلٌ and أَجْمَالٌ: it may not be [↓ سِتْهٌ and ↓ سُتْهٌ] like جِذْعٌ and قُفْلٌ, of which the pls. are also of the measure أَفْعَالٌ, because, when you restore the ء which is the final radical, and reject the medial radical [which is ت], you say سَهٌ, with fet-h, (
S,
Mgh, *) which has both of the meanings
expl. above, as also سُهٌ, (
K,) but [
SM says,] this last, mentioned by the author of the
K, is strange, and I have not seen it on the authority of any one [else]: (
TA:) and some say سَتٌ, (IKh,
S,
Mgh,
TA,) suppressing the final radical [of سَتَهٌ], (
S,) i. e., without ه at the end and without hemzeh [or ا] at the beginning. (
TA.) [All are of the
fem. gender.] It is said in a
trad., العَيْنُ وِكَآءُ السَّهِ, or, as some relate it, السَّتِ, (
S,
Mgh,
TA,) [The eye is the tie of the anus,] meaning that when one [closes the eye and] sleeps, the tie of the سَه becomes loosed, and the excrement and wind issue. (
TA.) And أَبُو الأَسْتَاهِ means He who has large posteriors. (
Az,
TA.) بِاسْتِ فُلَانٍ is a phrase of the Arabs significant of reviling; (
S;) said when holding one in contempt; meaning لَصِقَ العَارُ بِاسْتِ فُلَانٍ (assumed
tropical:) [May disgrace cleave to the است of such a one]. (
Mgh.) And يَا ابْنَ اسْتِهَا (
tropical:) [O son of her است], (
K,
TA,) a
prov. of the Arabs, (
TA,) is an allusion to one's father's إِحْمَاض [see 2 in art. حمض] of the former's mother; (
Z,
TA;) and is said to mean أَنَّهُ وُلِدَ مِنِ اسْتِهَا: (
TA:) and the Arabs called the sons of the female slave بَنُو اسْتِهَا. (
Sh,
TA.) And one says to a man who is deemed abject and weak, اِسْتُ أُمِّكَ أَضْيَقُ [
lit. Thy mother's است is too contracted], and اِسْتُكَ أَضْيَقُ مِنْ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا [Thine است is too contracted, meaning (assumed
tropical:) thine ability is too small, for thy doing such and such things]: (
TA: [see also Freytag's Arab.
Prov., i. 607:]) and أَنْتُمْ أَضْيَقُ أَسْتَاهًا مِنْ أَنْ تَفْعَلُوهُ [in like manner] is an allusion to inability [meaning (assumed
tropical:) Ye are unable to do it]. (
K.) The saying of a poet, وَ أَنْتَ مَكَانُكَ مِنْ وَائِلٍ
مَكَانُ القُرَادِ مِنِ اسْتِ الجَمَلْ (
tropical:) [And thou, thy place in the tribe of
Wáïl is like the place of the tick in the rump of the camel,] is
tropical; for they do not [properly] say اِسْتُ الجَمَلِ, but عَجُزُ الجَمَلِ. (
S.) One says also to a man who is deemed low, or base, أَنْتَ الاِسْتُ السُّفْلَى, (
TA,) and انت السبَّهُ السُّفْلَى, meaning (assumed
tropical:) Thou art among others in the condition of the است of mankind: (
S,
TA:) and of low, or base, men, one says, هٰؤُلَآءِ الأَسْتَاهُ; and of such as are excellent, هٰؤُلَآءِ الأَعْيَانُ, and الوُجُوهُ. (
TA.) And one says, لَقِيتُ مِنْهُ اسْتَ الـ
ـكَلْبَةِ, (
A,
K,) a
prov., (
TA,) meaning (assumed
tropical:) I experienced from him, or it, what I disliked, or hated. (
A,
K,
TA. [See also Freytag's Arab.
Prov., ii. 445.]) And اِسْتُ البَائِنِ أَعْرَفُ, or أَعْلَمُ: see art. بين.

prov., related on the authority of
Az as said to one who has no large amount of property, nor number of men. (

K,
TA,) possessing nothing: (
TA:) or تَرَكْتُهُ بِاسْتِ المَتْنِ (assumed
tropical:) I left him on the hard ground, alone. (
Meyd.) And مَا لَكَ فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ اسْتٌ وَ لَا فَمٌ (assumed
tropical:) Thou hast not in this thing, or affair, root nor branch: Jereer says, فَمَا لَكُمُ اسْتٌ فِى العَلَآءِ وَ لَآ فَمُ [And ye have not any root in eminence, nor branch]. (
TA.) And كَانَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اسْتِ الدَّهْرِ (
tropical:) That was in the beginning of time: (
