إِبَاطٌ The sword is beneath my أِبْط [or armpit]: and السَّيْفُ عِطَا فِى وَ إِبَاطِى I put, or place, the sword upon my side, and beneath my إِبْط. And جَعَلْتُهُ I put it next my إِبْط The Hudhalee, El-Mutanakhkhil, describing water to which he came to drink, says, accord. to the Deewán, but some ascribe the words to Taäbbata—Sharrà, شَرِبْتُ بِجَّمِهِ وَصَدَرْتُ عَنْهُ وَ أَبْيَضُ صَارِمٌ ذَكَرٌ إِبَاطِى meaning [I drank of the main body thereof, and returned from it, and a sharp steel—edged sword was] beneath my إِبْط: or, accord. to one relation, the poet said, بِأَبْيَضَ صَارِمٍ ذَكَرٍ: and accord. to another, وَ عَضْبٌ صَارِمٌ: Skr says that the last word of the verse is a contraction of آبَاطِى: and Ibn-Es-Seeráfee, that it is originally إِبَاطِىٌّ ; and if so, it is an epithet.
