2 بِئْرٌ شَطُونٌ A deep well, curving in its interior: or a well from which the bucket is drawn out by means of two ropes, from its two sides, wide in the upper part and narrow in the lower part; so that if one draws out the bucket from it by means of one rope, one draws it against the casing, and it becomes rent.
