طَغْيَةٌ ذ The top, or upper part, of a mountain: (S, TA:) and any high, or elevated, place; as also ↓ طَغْوَةٌ . (TA as from the S: but only the latter word is mentioned in this sense in my copies of the S.) ― -b2- And (S) A small quantity (نُبْذَةٌ) of anything: (S, K: *) so says AZ. (S. [In this sense, and in the two senses following, erroneously written in the CK طَغِيَّة.]) ― -b3- And A smooth stone or rock. (K.) ― -b4- And, accord. to the copies of the K, الطَّغْيَةُ signifies المُسْتَصْعَبُ مِنَ الجَبَلِ [as though meaning What is deemed, or found, difficult, of the mountain]: but [SM says, though I think this doubtful,] it is correctly مِنَ الخَيْلِ [meaning what is refractory, or untractable, of horses], as in the M. (TA.)
