Full Definition
شَاطِئٌ
and
شَطْءٌ The bank, or side, (شَطّ, S, K, and جَانِب, S, Msb,) of a valley and of a river: and some say that the former signifies the extremity, or edge, or side, (طَرَف,) of a river; and the shore of the sea: the pl. of the latter is شُطُوْءٌ; and of the former, شَوَاطِئُ and شُطْآنٌ; or this last, as is said in the M, may be pl. of شَطْءٌ. Accord. to the S, one says also شَاطِئُ الأَوْدِيَةِ [meaning The sides of the valleys]; not assigning to شاطئ any pl.: but the truth is that the pl. is as stated above.
