قنطر

Q. 1 قَنْطَرَ الشّىْءِ i. q. عَقَدَهُ وَأَحْكَمَهُ [He tied, or knit, the thing; or, agreeably with modern usage, he arched, or vaulted, it; and made it firm, or strong]. (Zj.) Hence what is called a قَنْطَرَة is thus called because of its being firmly, or strongly, knit together, or arched, or vaulted, لِإِحْكَامِ عَقْدِهَا. (MF.) [It seems to signify He compacted the thing. b2: Also, He collected the thing together into one aggregate; he aggregated it. See the pass. part. n., below.]

A2: قَنْطَرَ He (a man, TA) possessed property by the قِنْطَار: (K:) or became possessed of a قنطار of property: (TA:) or possessed large property, as though it were weighed by the قنطار. (ISd, TA.) 2 تَقَنْطَرَ بِهِ فَرَسُهُ, for تَقَطَّرَ به: see قَطَّرَهُ.

قَنْطَرَةٌ [accord. to the Msb, of the measure فَنْعَلَةٌ, belonging to art. قطر, the ن being augmentative; and the same is perhaps meant to be indicated by the place in which it is mentioned in the S and some other lexicons; but accord. to the K, the ن is a radical letter; A bridge;] what is built over water, for crossing or passing over (Mgh, Msb) upon it; (Msb;) an أَزَج [or oblong arched or vaulted structure], built with backed bricks or with stones, over water, upon which to cross or pass over: (Az, TA:) or i. q. جِسْرٌ: (S, K:) or this latter is a more common term; (Mgh, * Msb;) for it signifies that which is built and that which is not built: (Msb:) a lofty structure: (K:) [pl. قَنَاطِرُ.] See 1.

قِنْطَارٌ [accord. to the Msb, of the measure فِنْعَالٌ, belonging to art. قطر, the ن being augmentative; and the same is perhaps meant to be indicated by the place in which it is mentioned in the S and some other lexicons; but accord. to the K, the ن is a radical letter;] A certain مِعْيَار [or standard of weight or measure]: (S, TA:) or, accord. to some, a quantity of no determinate weight: (Msb:) or a large unknown quantity or aggregate, of property: (TA:) or much property heaped up: (Msb:) or four thousand deenárs: (Th, Msb:) this is what most of the Arabs hold to be the truth: (Th:) or four thousand dirhems: (Th:) or one thousand two hundred ookeeyehs: (A 'Obeyd, S, K:) so accord. to Mo'ádh Ibn-Jebel: (S:) or [which is the same] a hundred ritls: (Msb:) [this is its weight in the present day; i. e., a hundredweight, or a hundred pounds:] or a hundred ritls of gold or of silver: (Es-Suddee, K:) or a hundred and twenty ritls: (S, L:) or a thousand ookeeyehs of gold: or of silver: (Th:) or twelve thousand ookeeyehs, accord. to Aboo-Hureyreh, on the authority of the Prophet: (TA:) or a hundred ookeeyehs of gold: or of silver: (Th:) or a hundred mithkáls; (I 'Ab, Msb, TA;) the mith-kál being twenty keeráts: (I 'Ab, TA:) or forty ookeeyehs of gold: (K:) or one thousand two hundred deenárs: (K:) or one thousand one hundred deenárs: (L:) or seventy thousand deenárs: (K:) or, in the language of Barbar, a thousand mithkáls of gold or of silver: (TA:) or eighty thousand dirhems: (I 'Ab, K:) or a hundred dirhems: (Msb:) or a hundred menns: (Msb:) or a quantity of gold, (S, K,) or of silver, (K,) sufficient to fill a bull's hide: (S, K:) so in the Syriac language, accord. to Es-Suddee: (TA:) and there are other definitions of the word: (S:) pl. قَنَاطِيرُ. (S.) مُقَنْطَرٌ Collected together into one aggregate; aggregated; made up; or completed; syn. مُكَمَّلٌ. (K.) You say قَنَاطِيرُ مُقَنْطَرَةٌ, (S,) meaning, Much riches collected together: (Jel. in iii. 12:) the latter word is a corroborative. (Bd. ibid.) قنع قنف See Supplement

سبرت

Q. 1 سَبْرَتَ He begged; and became lowly, humble, or submissive; or affected to be like the مَسَاكِين [or destitute, or needy, &c.]; syn. قَنَعَ; (K, TA; [omitted in the CK, and in my MS. copy of the K erroneously written قَنِعَ;]) and تَمَسْكَنَ. (TA.) سُبْرُتٌ: see سُبْرُوتٌ.

سِبْرَاتٌ: see the next paragraph, in two places.

سُبْرُوتٌ A desert, syn. قَفْرٌ, (S, K,) or a plain, syn. قَاعٌ, (M,) in which is no herbage: (M, K:) or weak land: (TA:) and أَرْضٌ سُبْرُوتٌ and ↓ سِبْرِيتٌ (As, Lh, M) and ↓ سِبْرَاتٌ (M) Land in which is no herbage; (M;) or land in which is nothing: (As, Lh, M:) pl. سَبَارِيتُ and سَبَارٍ, the latter anomalous, mentioned by Lh: (M:) accord. to A'Obeyd, the pl. سَبَارِيتُ signifies deserts, or waterless deserts, (فَلَوَاتٌ,) in which is nothing: and accord. to As, land [or lands] in which nothing grows: (TA:) and one says also أَرْضٌ سَبَارِيتُ, (M, K,) a phrase of the same class as ثَوْبٌ أَخْلَاقٌ, (K,) as though the sing. سُبْرُوتٌ or سِبْرِيتٌ were applied to every portion thereof. (M.) b2: Hence, (TA,) applied to a man, (Az, S, TA,) Needy, in want, indigent, (Az, As, S, M, K, TA,) poor, (Az, As, K, TA,) possessing little, (M, TA,) or, as some say, possessing nothing; (S, * M, TA;) and ↓ سِبْرِيتٌ signifies the same, (Az, S, M, K,) as also ↓ سِبْرَاتٌ, and ↓ سُبْرُتٌ: (M, K:) also bankrupt, or insolvent; syn. مُفْلِسٌ: (TA in explanation of the first [but equally applying to all]:) the epithet applied to a woman is سُبْرُوتَةٌ and ↓ سِبْرِيتَةٌ; (Az, S;) the latter of which is applied to a man [app. in intensive sense, agreeably with analogy,] as well as to a woman: (M:) and the pl. is سَبَارِيتُ, applied to men and to women. (Az, S.) b3: [Hence, also,] applied to a youth, or young man, Beardless; or having no hair upon the sides of his face. (M, K, TA. [In the K, this signification is immediately followed by the mention of the pls. سَبَارِيتُ and سَبَارٍ.]) b4: And Little, or small, in quantity or number; (S, M, K;) paltry, or inconsiderable: (K:) applied to a thing, (S, K,) and (S) to property, or cattle. (S, M.) b5: Also Tall, or long. (M, TA.) b6: And A skilful, or an expert, guide, well acquainted with the lands. (TA.) It is mentioned by Sb, who says that it is of measure فُعْلُولٌ, like زُنْبُورٌ and عُصْفُورٌ; and most hold him to be right: but some of the authors on inflection assert that it is of the measure فُعْلُوتٌ, from سَبَرْتُ الشَّىْءَ meaning “ I tried, proved, or tested, the thing, or proved it by experiment or experience; ” and that the ت is added to give intensiveness to the signification; which several deny: (MF, TA:) سُبْرُورٌ, however, is mentioned in the K, in art. سبر, as meaning “ poor,” and land “ in which is no herbage. ” (TA.) سِبْرِيتٌ and سِبْرِيتَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in three places.

سَنْبَرِيتٌ A man (TA) of evil disposition or nature. (K, TA: but omitted in the CK.) مُسَبْرَتٌ Bald, or bare of hair. (K, TA: but omitted in the CK.)
