سول

1 سَالَ ذ , aor. يَسَالُ, (Akh, and S, M, Msb, K, all in art. سأل,) like خَافَ, aor. يَخَافُ, (Msb and K ibid.,) first pers. pret. سِلْتُ, [like خِفْتُ,] (Sb, M in the present art., [in the K in this art., erroneously, سَلْتُ,]) and aor. أَسَالُ, (Sb, M and K in this art.,) imperative سَلْ, (S, Msb, K, TA, all in art. سأل,) dual سَلَا, and pl. سَلُوا, these two being irregular, (Msb in that art.,) inf. n. سُوَالٌ, (M and K in the present art.,) mentioned by Sb and by Th, (M ibid.,) and سِوَالٌ, (M and K ibid.,) mentioned by Th, (M ibid.,) i. q. سَأَلَ [ He asked, &c.], (Akh, and S, M, Msb, K, all in art. سأل,) and سَأَلْتُ; a dial. var. of the verb with أ, (Sb, M and K in the present art.,) the medial radical being originally و, (M and K ibid.,) not a substitute for أ, (M ibid.) as is shown by the phrase هُمَايَتَسَاوَلَانِ, (M and K ibid.,) mentioned by AZ: (M ibid.:) it is of the dial. of Hudheyl. (TA in art. سأل.) [For the pass. (سِيلَ &c.), see سَأَلَ.] A certain elegant scholar says, سَالَتْ هَذَيْلٌ رَسُولَ ا@للّٰهِ فَاحِشَةً i. e. [ Hudheyl ] asked of the Apostle of God as a thing wished for [ something beyond measure evil ]: it is not from سَأَلَ, [i. e. it is originally سَوِلَ, not formed from سَأَلَ by the substitution of ا for أ,] as many of the elegant scholars say. (Er-Rághib, TA.) -A2- سَوِلَ, (M, K,) [aor. يَسْوَلُ,] inf. n. سَوَلٌ, (M,) He, or it, was, or became, lax, flaccid, or uncompact; or it hung down loosely; was, or became, pendent, or pendulous: (M, K:) [or, said of a man, he was, or became, flaccid, or pendulous, in the belly, or in the part of the belly below the navel; as appears from an explanation of أَسْوَلُ and from what here follows:] سَوَلٌ, (S, TA,) in the K, erroneously, ↓ سَوْلَة, (TA,) signifies flaccidity, or uncompactness, or pendulousness, (S, K, TA,) of the belly, (K,) and so ↓ تَسَوُّلٌ and تَسَوُّنٌ, (TA,) or of the part of the belly below the navel; (S, TA;) and of other things, (K, TA,) as, for instance, (TA,) of a cloud also.
