A lion stretching himself when about to spring or leap.
2 A quick camel: pl. سِبَطْرَاتٌ: it has no broken pl.
3 Also, the pl. above mentioned, Camels long, upon the surface of the ground [or horizontally]. The ت [says J] is not the denotative of the fem. gender: it is like that in رِجَالَاتٌ and حَمَّامَاتٌ, as masc. pls.: but IB says, the ت in this word is the denotative of the fem. gender; for it is an epithet applied to جِمَالٌ, which is fem. as a [broken] pl.; as is shown by the saying الجِمَالُ سَارَتْ, and رَعَتْ, &c.: and he adds, J's saying that it is like رجالات and حمّامات
4 Also the sing., Penetrating; effective; [as though stretching far;] sharp in intellect; clever; acute: (K: [in the CK, الماضِى السَّهْمِ is put by mistake for الماضى الشَّهْمُ:]) or sharp in intellect, and very bold or daring or courageous.
5 Lank hair.
6 A man lank and tall.
7 And with ة, A corpulent woman.
