حَبَنْطًى حبنطى حبنطي , with tenween, and حَبَنْطَأٌ, the ن and the ا [which latter is written in the former word ى being added to render the word quasi-coordinate to سَفَرْجَلٌ, (S, TA,) the derivation being from حَبَطٌ, (TA,) A man short and bigbellied; (S, TA;) as also حَبَنْطَاةٌ and ↓ مُحْبَنْطٍ : (S:) [see the last of these words below:] or filled with wrath, or rage; or by repletion of the belly; (K;) as also حِبَنْطًى and حَبَنْطَاةٌ: (Ks, Lh:) and this last, a woman short, ugly, and bigbellied; (K;) also related with ' [i. e. حَبَنْطَأَةٌ, or, as it is written in the L, حَبَنْطَآءَةٌ, but this I think a mistranscription]. (TA.) When you form the dim., you may reject the ن, and change the ا [which is the final letter] into ى, so that [the dim. becomes originally حُبَيْطِىٌ, for which, accord. to a wellknown rule,] you say ↓ حُبَيْطٍ , with kesr to the ط, and with tenween; for the ا is not to denote the fem. gender, that the letter preceding it should be with fet-h, as in [حُبَيْلَى and بُشَيْرَى] the dims. of حُبْلَى and بُشْرَى: you may also retain the ن, and reject the ا; saying ↓ حُبَيْنِطٌ : and thus you may do in the case of any noun having two letters added for the purpose of quasi-coordination: you may also put a compensation for the letter rejected in either place, or not: if you put a compensation in the former instance, you say ↓ حُبَيْطِىٌّ , with teshdeed to the ى, and with kesr to the ط; and in the latter instance, you say ↓ حُبَيْنِيطٌ . (S, O, TA.)
