سلتم

سِلْتِمٌ ذ A calamity, or misfortune. (S, M, K.) ― -b2- A hard, or severe, year. (S, M, K.) ― -b3- A [goblin, or demon, such as is termed] غُول. (S, M, K.) ― -b4- A she-camel having no tooth remaining, and whose lower lip has fallen and she is unable to raise it. (K, TA. [The explanation in the CK is faulty: the last words should be لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ رَفْعَهُ.]) Some say that the م is augmentative. (TA.) ― -b5- One says also مَا أَصَابَ سِلْتِمًا, [in the CK سَلْتَمًا,] meaning He got not anything. (K, TA.)
