طَعْنَةٌ

[as a verbal noun of un., A single act of piercing or thrusting; i. e. a piercing thrust or a stab, or simply a thrust; with a spear or the like: and a wound made by piercing or thrusting with a spear or the like; i. e.] the effect of الطَّعْن: plural [or rather coll. gen. n.] ↓ طَعْنٌ, thus used by a Hudhalee poet in the phrase طَعْنٌ جَوَايءِفُ [spear-wounds penetrating into the interior of the body, or into a vital part]. (TA.)

[It is also a verbal noun of un. in other senses.

Golius assigns also to this word and to طِعْنَةٌ and طُعْنَةٌ, as from the K, the meaning of A woman of evil disposition: but this is evidently a mistake, and taken from an art, (next after the present one) in the K, in which الطَّعْثَنَةُ, there said to be بِالمُهْمَلَةِ وَالمُثَلَّثَةِ, is explained as meaning “ the woman evil in disposition. ”]
