, Present.T
ـِ is a verb mentioned by IKoot and IKtt and others, as derived from حَتْفٌ signifying “ death, ” though J says that no verb is formed from this word; as IF and Meyd and Az also assert: and حُتُوفٌ is its Verbal.Noun, as well as pl. of حَتْفٌ: [accord. to SM, it is intrans., signifying He died; for he says,] hence the saying in the A, المَرْءُ يَسْعَى وَيَطُوفُ
وَعَاقِبَتُهُ الحُتُوفُ [Man labours, and goes about: and his end is dying]. [But see what follows.]
def.2 IF says that no verb is formed from حَتْفٌ signifying “ death; ” and so, after him, J; and Az says that he had heard no such verb: but IKoot mentions حَتَفَهُ, Present.T ـِ Verbal.Noun حَتْفٌ, as signifying He, or it, killed him; or caused him to die.
