[of pauc.] is A^asobutN and [of mult.] subuwtN : (S, M, Msb, K:) it has no dim. (Sb, S in art. Ams .) ― -b3- sabotN also means A week; from the sabot to the sabot [i. e. from the sabbath to the sabbath ]: so in the saying, in a trad., famaA raA^ayonaA Al$~amosa sabotFA [ And we saw not the sun for a week ]: as when one says “ twenty autumns ” meaning “ twenty years: ” or it means in this instance a space of time, whether short or long.

sibotN * The hides, or skins, of oxen; (M, K;) whether tanned or not tanned: so some say: (M:) or (so accord. to the M, in the K and TA “ and, ” but the w is omitted in the CK,) any tanned hide; (As, AA, M, K;) said to be so called [because the tanning removes the hair,] from Als~abotu , “ the act of shaving: ” (AA, TA:) or such. as is tanned with qaraZ [q. v.]: (M, K:) or only ox-hides tanned: so says AHn on the authority of As and AZ: (TA:) or ox-hides tanned with qaraZ , (S, Mgh,) whereof are made [ the sandals called ] ↓ niEaAlN siboty~apN : (S) these are hence thus called: (Mgh:) they are sandals having no hair upon them: (M, Msb:) or sandals tanned with qraZ : (AA, TA:) accord. to Az, they are thus called because their hair has been shaven off ( subita , i. e. Huliqa ,) and removed by a wellknown process in tanning, (Mgh, * TA,) so that they are soft; and they are of the sandals of people that lead a life of ease and softness: (Mgh:) IAar says that they are thus called because of their having become soft by the tanning: accord. to this, they should be called ↓ sabotiy~ap ; and so accord. to a saying of EdDáwoodee, that they are called in relation to suwqu Als~aboti [“ the Market of the Sabbath ”]: it is also said that they are called in relation to the ↓ subot , with damm, which is a plant used for tanning therewith; so that they should be called ↓ subotiy~ap , unless the appellation be an instance of a rel. n. deviating from its source of derivation [or unless this plant be also termed sibotN , as it is accord. to a copy of the M]: (TA:) see subotN . It is related of the Prophet, that he saw a man walking among the graves wearing his sandals, and said, yaA SaAHiba Als~ibotayni AixolaEo sibotayoka [meaning (tropical:) O wearer of the pair of sandals of sibot , pull off thy pair of sandals of sibot ]: (S, * TA:) and accord. to the A, they are thus termed tropically: it is like the saying “ Such a one wears wool, and cotton, and silk; ” meaning “ garments made thereof; ” as is said in the Nh: but, as some relate it, what he said was, ↓ yaA SaAHiba Als~ibotiy~ayoni , the last of these words being a rel. n.; and thus it is found in the handwriting of Az, in his book.
