سقى

سَقْى ذ in the phrase سَقْىُ الفُرَاتِ, which means The towns, or villages, [or lands, ] watered by the Euphrates, is said by Mtr to be an inf. n. used as a subst. [properly so termed, and, being originally an inf. n., it may be used alike as sing. and pl.]; or, in this phrase, a noun that should be prefixed to it [such as ذَات], is suppressed: or, accord. to some, it is سِقْى [q. v.], an instance of the measure فِعْلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ; and thus it is in the handwriting of EI- Hareeree in his 22nd Makámeh. (Har p. 246.) ― -b2- See also the next paragraph.
