بِطَانٌ

[The belly-girth of a camel: or] the girth of the [kind of saddle called] قَتَب, (S, K,) which is put beneath the belly of the camel, and is like the تَصْدِير to the رَحْل: (S:) or the girth of the [saddle called] رَحْل: (Msb:) plural [of pauc.] أَبْطِنَةٌ and [of mult.] بُطْنٌ. (K.) [Hence,] اِلْتَقَتْ حَلْقَتَا البِطَانِ [The two rings of the belly-girth met]: said of a case, or an affair, that has become severe, strait, or distressing. (S.) And رَجُلٌ عَرِيضُ البِطَانِ (tropical:) A man in ample and easy circumstances; or in an easy, or a pleasant, state or condition; or easy, or unstraitened, in mind. (K, TA. [See also article عرض.]) And مَاتَ فُلَانٌ وَهُوَ عَرِيضُ البِطَانِ, meaning, according to A'Obeyd, (assumed tropical:) Such a one died broad in the fleshy parts (المَلَاحِم); nothing of him having gone. (TA. [But this seems to be said of a man's dying in a state of opulence: see Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 601.])
