سلت

سُلْتٌ ذ A species of شَعِير [or barley ], (Lth, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) having no hush, (Lth, S, Mgh, Msb,) أَجْرَدُ [which may mean either beardless or smooth ], (Lth,) [ in appearance ] as though it were wheat, (S,) growing in El-Ghowr and El- Hijáz; (Mgh, Msb;) the سَوِيق [or meal of the parched grain ] whereof is employed as a cooling diet in the صَيْف [or summer ]: (TA:) or i. q. شَعِير [i. e. the common barley ]; (M, K;) as some say: (M:) or the sour (حَامِض) sort of شعير: (M, K:) or a white شعير, without husk: or, as some say, a species of wheat; but the explanation next preceding this last is the more correct, for البَيْضَاآءُ and السُّلْتُ are mentioned in a trad. as distinct, each from the other, and by the former is meant wheat: (TA:) or a species of شعير with a thin husk and small grain: (IF, Msb:) or a grain between wheat and barley (شعير), not having a husk like that of the latter, and thus being like wheat in smoothness, and like barley (شعير) in its nature, or quality, and in its coolness: (Az, Msb:) accord. to Es-Seydelánee, like barley (شعير) in its form, and like wheat in its nature, or quality; but this is a mistake: (Ibn-Es-Saláh, Msb:) [ gymnocrithon (i. e. hordeum nudym ) of Galen: tragus of Diosc. (Golius.)]
