بَائِتٌ : both, in this sense, [but the latter more usually,] applied to bread.
2 Cold, or cool, water, that has become so from its having remained throughout a night: or water that remains during the night beneath the sky: or water that has been cooled in the leathern bag by night; and in like manner, milk; for [Az says,] I heard an Arab of the desert say, اِسْقِنِى مِنْ بَيُّوتِ السِّقَآءِ, meaning Give thou me to drink of the milk that has been milked at night and left in the skin so that it has become cold, or cool, by night.

4 هَمٌّ بَيُّوتٌ
5 سِنٌّ بَيُّوتَةٌ A tooth that does not fall out, or become shed.
