سَعْتَرٌ A certain plant, (S, Msb, K,) of the kind called بُقُول, (Mgh,) well known; (Msb, K;) and applied also to the grain, or seed, thereof: (Mgh:) [a species of origanum, or majoram: so in the present day; and so says Golius, as on the authority of Ibn-Beytár, “origani species, sc. consonante voce, satureia, Hisp. axedrea: ” accord. to Forskål, (Flora Aeg. Arab. p. cxiv.,) “ thymus serpyllum: ”] some write the word in books of medicine with ص, in order that [when written without the diacritical points] it may not be confounded with شَعِيرٌ: (S, Mgh:) in the T, it is with ص, on the authority of AA, only; and thus in the book of Lth: in the Jámi' of ElGhooree, with س and ص: (Mgh:) or the س is changed into ص in the dial. of Bel'ambar [or Benu-l-'Ambar]; and some pronounced it only with ص: (Msb:) accord. to Abu-l-'Alà, the vulgar pronounce it with س, and the approved word is with ص. (Ham p. 462.) [In the present day, it is also written with ز.]

سَعْتَرِىٌّ i. q. شَاطِرٌ [q. v.], (K,) in the dial. of the people of El-'Irák. (TA.) b2: And Generous, noble, or high-born, and courageous, brave, or strong-hearted. (K.) The pronunciation with ص is of higher authority. (K. [This remark is probably there meant to relate to both of the words of this art.])
