صمت

رَمَاهُ بِصُمَاتِهِ ذ , (AZ, K, A, K, [in a copy of the M بصِمَاتِه, but this I think a mistranscription,]) or ↓ بِصُمَاتَةٍ, (K accord. to the TA, and so in the M in art. سكت,) [both probably correct, for] one says also بِسُكَاتِهِ (AZ, S) and بِسُكَاتَةٍ, (S, M, A, K, in art. سكت,) He (a man, AZ, S, or God, A) smote him, or afflicted him, with a thing that silenced him. (AZ, S, M, A, K.) [See رَمَاهُ بِسُكَاتٍ, in art. سكت.] ― -b2- صُمَاتٌ signifies also Thirst: (As, TA:) or quickness of thirsting, (M, K, TA,) in men and in beasts. (M, TA.)
