(TA.) [It appears to have been generally yellow, (see وَرْسٌ, and أَوْرَسَ,) and was probably otherwise similar to the modern مِلَايَة, which is described and represented in my work on the Modern Egyptians, part i., ch. 1.] Pl. مُلَاآءٌ; (S, K;) [or rather this is a quasi-pl. n.; or a coll. gen. n., of which ملاءة is the n. un.;] or, accord. to some, مُلَأٌ; but the former is better established.
