سِّنّ

sin~N * i. q. DirosN [as meaning A tooth; in which sense this latter word is often used; though it is frequently restricted to a molar tooth, or to any of the teeth except the central incisors]: (M, L, K:) [or, accord. to some, a single tooth; i. e. one that is not of the double, or molar, kind; as shown by a description in what follows:] of the fem. gender: (S, M, L, Msb:) pl. A^asonaAnN (S, M, L, Msb, K) and A^asin~apN and A^asun~N , (M, L, K,) the last of these mentioned by Lh, and this and the second anomalous; (M, L;) or the second is allowable as pl. of the first of these pls.; (S;) or it is pl. of the sinaAn of the spear; but may also be pl. of A^asonaAnN as pl. of sin~N applied to herbage upon which camels pasture, in an instance to be cited in what follows: (A'Obeyd, T, L:) the vulgar say A_isonaAn and A^usonaAn , which are wrong: (Msb:) the A^asonaAn of a human being consist of four vanaAyaA , and four rabaAEiyaAt , and four A^anoyaAb , and four nawaAji* , and sixteen A^aDoraAs : or, as some say, four vnAyA , and four rbAEyAt , and four AnyAb , and four nwAj* , and four DawaAHik , and twelve A^aroHaA=' : (Msb:) or the A^asonaAn and A^aDoraAs together make up the number of thirty-two; the vnAbA are four, two above and two below [in the middle]; next are the rbAEyAt , which are four, two above and two below; next are the AnyAb , which are four [likewise, two above and two below]; and next are the ADrAs , which are twenty, on each side five above and five below; and of these [last] the four that are next to the AnyAb are the DwAHk ; next to each nAb , above and below, is a DaAHik ; next to the DwAHk are the TawaAHin , also called the A^aroHaA=' , which are twelve, on each side [above and below] three; and next to these are the nwAj* , which are the last of the teeth in growth, and the last of the ADrAs , on each side of the mouth one above and one below: (Zj in his “ Khalk el-Insán: ”) the dim. of sin~N is ↓ sunayonapN , because it is fem. (S.) One says, laA A=tiyka sin~a AlHisoli , (S, M, L,) i. e. I will not come to thee as long as remains the tooth of the young one of the [ kind of lizard called ] Dab~ ; (M, L;) meaning, ever; (S, M, * L;) because the Hsl never sheds a tooth: (S, L:) or, as Lh relates it, on the authority of ElMufaddal, sin~aYo HisolK ; [using the dual form of sin~N ;] and [it may be rendered, accord. to the former reading, (assumed tropical:) during the life of the young one of the D~b , for] he says, they assert that the Db~ lives three hundred years, and that it is the longest-lived creeping thing upon the earth. (M, L.) A poet (Aboo-Jarwal El-Jushamee, whose name was Hind, L) says, describing camels taken as a bloodwit, fajaA='ato kasin~i AlZ~aboYi lamo A^ara mivolahaA bawaA='a qatiylK A^awo Haluwbapa jaAy^iEi [ And they came; (assumed tropical:) like the age of the gazelle was the age of every one of them: I have not seen the like of them for an equivalent of a slain person, or a milch camel of one hungry: (I have given a reading of this verse that I have found in the M and TA in art. ZbY , instead of that in the present art. in the S and L, in which snA='a and sanaA='a are put in the place of bawaA='a app. for sinaA='a , an inf. n. of saAnaAhu , and as such here meaning a soothing, or the like: )] he means that they were vunoyaAn , [pl. of vaniY~N ], because the vaniY~ is one shedding [or that has shed] his vaniy~ap , and the gazelle has no vaniy~ap [in the upper jaw], so that he is always [one that may be termed] a vaniY~ . (S, L.) It is said in a trad., A_i*aA saAfarotumo fiY AlxiSobi faA^aEoTuwA Alr~ukuba A^asin~atahaA , [expl. as] meaning When ye journey in the land abounding with herbage, enable ye the ridden beasts to take of the pasturage: (S, L:) but Az states that A'Obeyd says, I know not A^asin~ap except as pl. of the sinaAn of the spear; and if the trad. be [correctly] preserved in memory, it seems to be pl. of A^asonaAn ; for sin~N [sometimes] signifies the [ portion of ] herbage up
