Root: فتن
Full Definition
2 [Hence,] Black stones; as though burnt with fire. And A [stony tract such as is called] حَرَّة, or like a حَرَّة, as though the stones thereof were burnt: or a black حَرَّة: or a حَرَّة wholly covered by black stones, as though they were burnt: pl. فُتُنٌ: and فَتَائِنُ signifies black حِرَار [pl. of حَرَّةٌ]; as though its sing. were فَتِينَةٌ ; and some say that this is a sing. [or n. un.], and that فَتِين is the pl. [or coll. gen. n.]; but as some relate a verse of El-Kumeyt which is cited as an ex. of فَتِينَة with the ة elided because ending the verse, it is فِتِينَ, and said to be pl. of فِتَةٌ, like as عِزِينَ is of عِزَةٌ.
def.2 In the dial. of El-Yemen it signifies Short; and small.
