لَفُوتٌ ذ A woman who looks aside much, or often, at things. (TA.) ― -b2- A woman who, when she hears a man speak, looks aside towards him. ('Abd-el-Melik Ibn-'Omar.) ― -b3- A woman whose eye does not remain fixed towards one place, the object of whose care is that thou shouldst be heedless of her, and that she may make signs with her eyes, or the like, to another. (Th, K.) ― -b4- A woman who has a husband, and who has a child by another husband, (S, K,) and who therefore turns her regard much towards her child, (S,) and is occupied by him so as to be diverted from her husband. (TA.) ― -b5- A she-camel that is unquiet (ضَجُورٌ) on the occasion of her being milked, (K,) that looks aside at the milker, and bites him; wherefore he strikes her with his hand, and thereupon she yields her milk: this is the case when her young one has died: whence this epithet is proverbially applied to him who is disobedient. (TA.) ― -b6- Difficult, or stubborn, of disposition. (K.) But in the S is said what is at variance with this. (TA.) See لَفَاتٌ, mentioned with أَلْفَتُ, ― -b7- Accord. to some, A woman in whom is crookedness and contraction; expl. by التى فيها التواء وانقباض. (TA.) ― -b8- A woman went to calumniate, or slander.
