صهل
Root entry · 1 derived lemmaصَهَلٌ ذ A voice with hoarseness, roughness, harshness, or gruffness; [this is app. correct, or nearly so; but what follows I think evidently wrong; and probably taken from a copy of the O, in this instance incorrect;] like ↓ صَهْلٌ: and صَهْلٌ is syn. with صَحْلٌ: (K accord. to the CK and TA: [to which is added in the TA, i. e. hoarseness, roughness, harshness, or gruffness, in the voice: ]) or syn. with صَحَلٌ: (so in my MS. copy of the K:) [the explanation given by Sgh appears to be correctly as follows:] one says, فِى صَوْتِهِ صَهَلٌ and صَحَلٌ, i. e. [ In his voice is ] sharpness and hardness: it is said in a trad. of Umm-Maabad, فِى صَوْتِهِ صَهَلٌ or صَحَلٌ, accord. to different relations: and A'Obeyd says that الصَّهَلُ is like البَحَحُ [i. e. hoarseness, &c.], not intense, but pleasing. (Thus I find in the O.) [It is said in Har p. 646 that الصحل and ↓ الصهل signify المَاآء القليل: but I think that this has been taken from some commentator who had found الصحل and الصهل erroneously written for الضَّحْلُ and الضَّهْلُ, with ض.]
