Death: or a bier: or the term of existence: (K:) or the death which God connects (يَنُوطُهُ) [with one]: (IAar:) and if so, the ى is interchangeable with و, (IAth, TA,) the word being originally نَيْوِطٌ, then نَيِّطٌ, and then نَيْطٌ: (TA:) if a contraction, it is like هَيْنٌ and هَيِّنٌ, and لَيْنٌ and لَيِّنٌ. (Az, TA.) You say, رَمَاهُ اللّٰهُ بِالنَّيْطِ, meaning [God smote him, or may God smite him,] with death: (S, in art. نوط, and TA:) or [may God smite him] with the death which He connects [with him]; as also رَمَاهُ اللّٰهُ بِنَيْطِهِ. (IAar.) And أَتَاهُ نَيْطُهُ His term of existence came to him. (TA.) And رُمِىَ فُلَانٌ فِى نَيْطِهِ Such a one was cast into his bier; meaning, when he died. (TA.) See طِنْءٌ.
