IAar K, *
TA.) سَحْفَةٌ A piece, or portion, of fat; in a general sense: (
TA:) or the portion of fat that is upon the back, (

ISk: (
S,
TA:) or that is upon the two sides and the back: and it is never but from fatness:
accord. to IKh, it is in all beasts except the camel:

accord. to some, it is in the camel [also]. (

K:)
pl. سَحَفَاتٌ. (

A3: [Freytag makes it to be also
syn. with مَسْحَفٌ, as on the authority of the
K, in which I do not find it in this sense.]
سُحَفَةٌ: see what next follows.
سُحَفْنِيَةٌ (in which the ن is augmentative,

b7: In the
K, three other meanings are erroneously assigned to this word; one of them belonging to سَحِيفَةٌ, and each of the others to سَحِيفٌ. (
TA.) سَحِيفٌ, (
ISk,
S,
Sgh,
TA,)
accord. to the context in the
K سَحُوفٌ, which is wrong, in this and the next sense, (
TA,) The sound of the mill when one grinds. (
ISk,
S,
Sgh,

K,
TA.)
b3: Also A rain (مَطْرَةٌ) that sweeps away that along which it passes: (
S,
O,
L,
TA:) in the
K, by the omission of كَسَفِينَةٍ, this meaning is erroneously assigned to سَحُوفٌ:
accord. to
As, a sharp rain, that sweeps away everything: and سَحِيقَةٌ, with ق, a vehement rain, consisting of large drops, but of little width: pls. سَحَائِفُ and سَحَائِقُ. (
TA.) أُسْحُوفٌ: see سَحُوفٌ.
b2: أُسْحُوفُ الأَحَالِيلِ, (
K,) mentioned by
ISh, on the authority of Aboo-Aslam, (

accord. to
Sb, (
TA,) A she-camel wide in the orifices of the teats: (Aboo-Aslam,
K:) or having much milk, the streaming of which causes a sound to be heard. (Aboo-
Málik,
