1.
, aorist
سَلِتَ
, (M, K) and
سَلُتَ
, (K,) verbal noun سَلْتٌ, (M, TA,) He extracted, or made to come forth, [the contents of] the gut [by compressing it] with his hand. (M, K. [In both it is explained by أَخْرَجَهُ بِيَدِهِ: but it seems that a fault has been accidentally committed by a copyist in the former or in its original, and thence passed into the latter; and that the words which I have supplied are necessary to explain the true meaning. That such is the case, appears from what here follows.]) It is said in the L that السَّلْتُ signifies The griping, with the hand, a thing that is contaminated by dirt, or filth, so that what is in it comes forth; and thus is done with a gut. (TA.) It is also said to signify The extracting, or causing to come forth, what is fluid, or moist, adhering to another thing. (MF, TA.) [Hence,] سَلَتَ خَمْشَهُ i. e. مُخَاطَهُ عَنْ أَنْفِهِ [He cleansed his nose of the mucus that was in it by compressing it with his fingers]: occurring in two trads.; in one of which, the Prophet is related to have been in the habit of doing this to El-Hoseyn when he used to carry him upon his shoulder. (TA.) [Hence, likewise,] it is said in a tradition, فَيَنْفُذُ الجَحِيمُ إِلَى جَوْفِهِ فَيَسْلُتُ مَافِيهِ, i. e. [And the fire of Hell shall penetrate to his inside, and] shall exscind and extirpate what is in it. (TA.)

You say also, سَلَتَ القَصْعَةَ, (S, A, K,) aorist
سَلُتَ
, verbal noun سَلْتٌ; (S;) and
استلتها; (K;) He cleansed the bowl by taking off with his finger what remained upon its sides; (S;) he wiped the bowl (A, K) with his fingers (A) or with his finger. (K.) And سَلَتَتْ خِضَابَهَا عَنْ يَدِهَا, (S, Msb, K,) aorist
سَلُتَ
, verbal noun سَلْتٌ, (Msb,) She cast from her, or from her hand, the remains of her stuff for dyeing the hands or hair: (S, K:) or she put away, or removed, that stuff from her hand: (Msb:) or she wiped off, and cast away, that stuff from her hand: (TA:) or سَلَتَ الخِضَابَ, aorist
سَلُتَ
, he took away, and wiped off, the material for dyeing the hands or hair; and in like manner. a similar thing; and sweat; and blood. (Mgh.) سَلَتَ الدَّمَ عَنْهَا occurs in a tradition as meaning He
removed the blood [from her or it]. (TA.)
3.
سَلَتَ دَمَ البَدَنَةِ (M, K) means, according to Lh, He scraped off the blood of the
بدنة [or beast brought to Mekkeh for sacrifice, or there sacrificed,] with the knife: but [ISd says, (and in like manner هَلَتَ دَمَ البَدَنَةِ is explained in the L as on the authority of Lh,)] in my opinion the meaning is, he scraped off the skin of the
بدنة
with the knife so that he made its blood to appear. (M. [The explanation in the K is made up from the two different explanations in the M, being as follows: قَشَرَهُ حَتَّى أَظْهَرَ دَمَهَا, as though meaning he scraped off the dried blood of the
بدنة
so that he made its fresh blood to appear: but in the copy of the K followed in the TA, النَّدَبَة (i. e. the scar) is put in the place of البَدَنَة, and the former of these two (i. e. الندبة) I regard as the right word.])
4.
سَلَتَ also signifies (assumed tropical:) He cut off a thing. (K. [This is said in the TA to be the primary meaning: but according to the A, the phrase here following, in which it has this meaning, is tropical.]) You say, سَلَتَ أَنْفَهُ, (S, M, A, K,) aorist
