Tents (أَبْيَاتٌ), of men, collected together, separate from [those of other] men: or i. q.
صِرْبٌ, (O in art. صرب,) which means a few tents (بُيُوت [in the O, erroneously, بُتُوت]) of the weak sort of the Arabs of the desert: (IAar, O, * K, TA; all in art. صرب:) and hence, a company of men, not many; or simply a company alighting and abiding with their camels by the side of the water: pl. أَصْرَامٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and أَصَارِمُ, or أَصَارِيمُ, or both, but accord. to IB the latter of these two is the right, [being a pl. pl., i. e. pl. of أَصْرَامٌ,] and صُرْمَانٌ, with damm.
2 And i. q. ضَرْبٌ. (K. [So, app., in all the copies; accord. to the TK as meaning A sort, or species: but I think it most probable that this is a mistranscription for صِرْبٌ, with which, as has been stated above, صِرْمٌ is syn. accord. to the O.])
def.2 Also i. q. خُفٌّ مُنْعَلٌ or خُفٌّ مُنَعَّلٌ [i. e. A soled boot: that خُفّ here means a boot, not a camel's foot, is indicated by its being immediately added by SM that] صَرَّامٌ signifies A seller thereof.
