pl. as above; (
Mgh;) and the
pl. of قُمُطٌ [probably a mistranscription for قِمْطٌ] is أَقْمَاطٌ. (

b3: قُمُطٌ also signifies The شُرُط, (
Mgh,
Msb,) meaning wide woven ropes, (
Mgh,) of fibres or leaves of the palm-tree, by which a booth of reeds or canes is bound: or, as some say, the pieces of wood that are upon the outside of a booth of reeds or canes, or in its inside, to which are bound the bundles of reeds or canes that form the roof: (
Mgh,
Msb:) or the heads [or extremities] thereof: (
Msb:) or قمط, with damm, [
app. meaning قُمُطٌ, with damm to the second letter as well as the first, or قُمْطٌ as a contraction of قُمُطٌ, like as كُتْبٌ,
accord. to some, is a contraction of كُتُبٌ,] as
IAth says, on the authority of
Hr, (
TA,) or ↓ قِمْطٌ, with kesr, (
S,
K,) signifies the thing, (
S,) or rope, (
K,
TA,) of fibres or leaves of the palmtree, (
TA,) with which booths of reeds or canes are bound: (

S.)
b4: Also قِمَاطٌ (assumed
tropical:) The snares by which one snares men: and [its
pl.] قُمُطٌ,
accord. to the
A, (
tropical:) the cords of stratagems or tricks. (
TA.) [Hence,] وَقَعْتُ عَلَى قِمَاطِهِ (assumed
tropical:) I became acquainted with his stratagems, or tricks, (
Lth,
K,) or his snares by which he snares men. (
TA.) [The explanation of this phrase by
Lth is وقعت عَلى بُنُودِهِ: that in the
K, فَطِنْتُ بُنُودَهُ: another explanation is given in the
TA, which is, فَطِنْتُ لَهُ فى تُؤَدَةٍ: in the
JK, فَطَنْتُ بِتُؤَودَةٍ: the right reading in the
K and
JK seems to be فَطِنْتُ بِبُنُودِهِ: and that of the explanation in the
TA mentioned in this sentence is most probably, I think, فَطِنْتُ لَهُ فِى بُنُودِهِ I understood him in his stratagems, &c.]
قَمَّاطٌ A maker of قُمُط [
pl. of قِمَاط] for children. (
