رِمَاحٌ خَطِّيَّةٌ رماح خطيه رماح خطية Spears of El-Khatt; so called from الخَطُّ, a place in El-Yemámeh, (S, Msb,) also called خَطُّ هَجَرٍ, (S,) because they are brought thither (S, Msb) from India, (S,) and straightened in that place, (S, Msb, *) which is a coast for ships; not that the canes grow there: (Msb:) or they are so called from الخَطُّ which is the station for ships in El-Bahreyn, because they are sold there; not that it is the place of their growth: this place is also called الخِطُّ: (K:) but this demands consideration; for it is said [in the 'Eyn, i. e.] by Lth, (TA,) or by Kh, (Msb,) that when you convert the rel. n. into a subst., you say ↓ خِطِيَّةٌ , (Msb, TA,) with kesr to the خ, (Msb,) without رماح, like as you say, ثِيَابٌ قِبْطِيَّةٌ, (Msb, TA,) with kesr, (Msb,) but when you convert the rel. n. into a subst., you say, قُبْطِيَّةٌ, (Msb, TA,) with damm, to distinguish the subst. from the rel. n., without ثياب: (Msb:) a single spear of this kind is called رُمْحٌ خَطِّىٌّ: (TA:) AHn says that الخَطِّىُّ signifies the spears; and that it is a rel. n. used in the manner of a proper name; being a rel. n. from الخَطُّ, which is خَطُّ البَحْرَيْنِ, where ships moor when they come from India.
