اـِيَا الشَّمْسِ ذ , [the former word, when alone and indeterminate, perhaps (as when determinate) without tenween, for it is-explained (with its dial. vars.) in the S and K in باب الالف الليّنة, though it is also explained in some copies of the S in the present art.,] and الشمس ↓ أَيَاةُ, (T, S, M, Mgh, K,) and الشمس ↓ أَيَاةُ, (S, M, K,) and ↓ أَيَاآءُ الشمس, (T, M, Mgh, K, and in a copy of the S,) with fet-h and medd, (T, Mgh, K, and so in a copy of the S,) The light of the sun, (S, M, Mgh, K,) and its beauty: (M, K:) or its rays, and its light: (T:) or, as some say, الشمس ↓ اياة signifies the halo of the sun; that, with respect to the sun, which is like the هَالَة with respect to the moon; i. e. the دَارَة around the sun: (S:) the pl.
