Full Definition

لُتَاتٌ What is crumbled, or broken into small pieces, with the fingers, (مَا فُتَّ,) of the barks of trees: i. e., what is so crumbled, or broken, of the dry, outer bark: but Az says, I know not whether it be لِتَاتٌ or لُتَاتٌ. Esh-Sháfi'ee is related to have pronounced the performance of تَيَمُّمٍ therewith not allowable.
2 مَا أَبْقَى مِنِّى إِلَّا لُتَاتًا, occurring in a trad., means, It left nothing remaining of me but dry skin like the bark of trees.

def.2 That with which one moistens [سَوِيق &c.]; expl. by مَا يُلَتُّ بِهِ: anything with which سويق &c. are moistened; such as clarified butter, and the fat of a sheep's tail.
