بلس

بَلَاسٌ بلاس , (S, Msb, K,) like سَلَامٌ, (Msb,) and سَحَابٌ, (K,) [in a copy of the M written بِلَاسٌ,] A [ garment, or piece of stuff, of the kind called ] مِسْح [i. e. of hair-cloth ]: (S, M, Msb, K:) used in this sense by the people of El-Medeeneh: (S:) a Persian word; (AO, S, Msb;) originally بَلَاسٌ, without ال: (TA:) arabicized: (S, Msb:) also called by the Arabs Pَلَاس, with the ب termed مُشَبَّع: (TA:) pl. بُلُسٌ. (M, Msb, K.) [The pl.] بُلُسٌ is also applied to Large sacks of مُسُوح [i. e. hair-cloths ], in which figs are put, [ or, more probably, in which straw is put, for التِّين, which I find in two copies of the S and in the TA, can hardly be doubted to be a mistranscription of التِّبْن], and upon which is paraded he who is made a public example that others may take warning from him, and the subject of a proclamation [acquainting the spectators with his offence ]: whence the imprecation, أَرَانِيكَ ا@للّٰهُ عَلَىالبُلُسِ [ May God show me thee upon the large haircloth-sacks ]. (S, TA.)
