2 Death: or a bier: or the term of existence: or the death which God connects (يَنُوطُهُ) [with one]: and if so, the ى is interchangeable with و, the word being originally نَيْوِطٌ, then نَيِّطٌ, and then نَيْطٌ: if a contraction, it is like هَيْنٌ and هَيِّنٌ, and لَيْنٌ and لَيِّنٌ. You say, رَمَاهُ ٱللّٰهُ بِالنَّيْطِ, meaning [God smote him, or may God smite him,] with death: (S, in art. نوط, and TA:) or [may God smite him] with the death which He connects [with him]; as also رَمَاهُ ٱللّٰهُ بِنَيْطِهِ. And أَتَاهُ نَيْطُهُ His term of existence came to him. And رُمِىَ فُلَانٌ فِى نَيْطِهِ Such a one was cast into his bier; meaning, when he died. See طِنْءٌ.
