[and a proper name]: and some make it perfectly decl., considering it as masc.; and say, قَرَأْتُ صَادًا [ I read, or recited, the chapter ص]: and the like is done in the cases of ق [the title of the fiftieth chapter] and ن [the title of the sixtyeighth chapter].

(Msb) five أَرْطَال [or pints ] and a third, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) by the measure of Baghdád; (Msb;) the مُدّ being a pint and a third: (K, TA:) so with the people of El-Hijáz, (Mgh, TA,) [i. e.] so with the people of the Harameyn, as was proved by a number of specimens of the صاع used in dealings with the Prophet, (Msb,) and so accord. to Esh-Sháfi'ee: (TA:) but with the people of El-' Irák it was eight pints, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) with whom agreed Aboo-Haneefeh; the مُدّ with them being two pints; (Msb, TA;) but the addition was made by El-Hajjáj; and their صاع was the قَفِيز حَجَّاجِىّ, and was unknown to the people of El-Medeeneh, as is said by Az: (Msb:) accord. to Ed-Dáwoodee, its invariable measure is four times the quantity [of corn & c.] that fills the two hands, that are neither large nor small, of a man; for the صاع of the Prophet is not found in every place; and this (the author of the K says, TA) I have tried, and found to be correct: (K, TA:) the word is masc. and fem.: (Zj, Msb, K, TA:) accord. to Fr, the people of El-Hijáz make it fem.; and Benoo-Asad, except some of them, make it masc., as do the people of Nejd; and Zj says that the more chaste way is to make it masc.: (Msb:) the pl. (of pauc., used by those who make the sing. fem., O, Msb) is أَصْوُعٌ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) for which one may say أَصْؤُعٌ, (S, O, K, *) changing the و into hemzeh, (S, O,) and accord. to AAF some say اآصُعٌ, like اآدُرٌ, (Mgh, Msb,) a pl. of دَارٌ, (Mgh,) but AHát says that this is a vulgar mistake, (Msb,) and أَصْوَاعٌ, (O, Msb, K,) which is used by those who make the sing. masc., (O, Msb,) and [of mult.] صُوعٌ, (K,) which is app. pl. of ↓ صِوَاعٌ, with kesr, (TA,) and صِيعَانٌ, (Mgh, O, Msb, K,) which is [likewise] a pl. of mult., (Msb,) or this last is pl. of ↓ صُوَاعٌ: and this sing. signifies a [ vessel of the kind called ] جَام, [app. here used in the sense which this word commonly has in Pers., i. e. as meaning a cup, ] in which, (K, TA,) or from which, (TA,) one drinks: (K, TA:) Sa'eed Ibn-Jubeyr says that the صواع of the king [mentioned in the Kur xii. 72] was the Persian مَكُّوك, of which the two extremities [ are compressed so that they ] meet together [app. in such a manner that the whole vessel resembles a small boat, the word مكّوك being expl. in several dictionaries as applied to a drinking-vessel of this form, probably from the Pers. مَكُّوكْ signifying “ a shuttle ” and used in this sense in modern Arabic]: El-Hasan says that the صُوَاع and the سِقَايَة are one thing, as Zj also says; and that the صواع of the king is said to have been of وَرِق [meaning silver], and that they used to measure with it and sometimes they drank with it: Zj says that it is explained as an oblong vessel, resembling the مَكُّوك, with which the king used to drink; and said by some to have been of مِسّ [which (as is said in the TA in art. مس) means copper, from the Pers. مِسْ]. (TA.) [See also صَوْغٌ, with غ.] ― -b2- صَاعٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) The place [or plot ] in which a صاع [ of seed ] is sown: so in a trad. (TA.) ― -b3- And (tropical:) A depressed piece of ground; (S, O, K, TA;) as also ↓ صَاعَةٌ; (O, K, TA;) like an excavation: or, as some say, a depressed place, sloping down from its surrounding borders: (TA:) or a narrow, depressed place. (TA in art. طأ.) ― -b4- And (assumed tropical:) A place that is swept and in which one then plays: (Ibn-' Abbád, O, K:) [see the verse cited in what follows:] and ↓ صَاعَةٌ is said to signify a piece of ground which a boy sweeps, removing its pebbles, and in which he plays with the ball: and a bare place, in which is nothing. (TA.) ― -b5- And The place of the breast of the ostrich when she puts it upon the ground: (K:) or such a place is called صَاعُ جُؤْجُؤِ النَّعَامِ. (IF, O.) And one says, ضَرَبَهُ فِى صَاعِ جُؤُجُؤِهِ and فى صاعِ صَدْرِهِ meaning (tropical:) He struck him in the middle of his breast. (Z, TA.) -A2- And it is said that] صَاعٌ also signifies The [ kind of goffstick called ] صَوْلَجَان. (K.) In the following verse of El-Museiyab Ibn-' Alas, describing a she-camel, مَرِحَتْ يَدَاهَا لِلنَّجَاآءِ كَأَنَّمَا تَكْرُو بِكَفَّىْ لَاعِبٍ فِى صَاعِ [the most obvious meaning of which is, Her fore legs moved briskly for the purpose of hastening, as though she were propelling a ball with the hands of a player in a piece of ground cleared for that exercise, ] or, as some relate it, بِكَفَّىْ مَاقِطٍ, meaning with the hands of a player with the ball, it is said by some that he means بِصَاعٍ, [though it is not easy to see why, if so, he did not say بِالصَّاعِ,] and that by the صاع he means the صَوْلَجَان, because it is bent (يُعْطَفُ [see 1, last sentence,]) for the purpose of striking with it, that the ball may be propelled (تُصَاعُ) with it. (O.)

صَوْعٌ ذ and صُوعٌ: see صَاعٌ, first sentence. ― -b2- The latter is also a pl., (K, TA,) app. of صِوَاعٌ, with kesr. (TA.)

صُوَعٌ ذ Portions of herbage beginning to dry up. (Ibn-' Abbád, O, K.) ― -b2- And of the flesh of a horse, Such as is scattered, or sparse; not collected together in one place. (Ibn-' Abbád, O.)

صَاعَةٌ ذ : see صَاعٌ, latter half, in two places. ― -b2- Also (tropical:) A place prepared by a woman for the separating and loosening of cotton: (Lth, O, K, TA:) and (assumed tropical:) a skin, like a نِطْع, which a woman sometimes makes, or prepares, for the separating and loosening of cotton and of wool upon it. (ISh, O, TA.) ― -b3- And (tropical:) A place specially made, or prepared, for guests. (Z, TA.)

صُوَاعٌ ذ and صِوَاعٌ: see صَاعٌ, former half, in five places.

(K, TA.) One says of a man, صَاغَ الذَّهَبَ حُلِيًّا [ He cast the gold so as to make of it ornaments; or he made, formed, fashioned, or moulded, the gold into ornaments ]. (Msb.) ― -b2- [Hence,] صَاغَهُ ا@للّٰهُ صِيغَةً حَسَنَةً (tropical:) God created him (S, O, K, TA) in a goodly mode, or manner, of creation. (O, TA.) And صِيغَ عَلَى صِيغَتِهِ (tropical:) He was created after his [i. e. another's] mode, or manner, of creation.

5 تصوّغ ذ : see what next follows.

7 انصاغ ذ quasi-pass. of صَاغَهُ [in all its senses, proper and tropical: meaning It was, or became, melted, and poured forth into a mould; &c.: and in like manner Freytag explains ↓ تصوّغ as used in the book entitled “ Les oiseaux et les fleurs, ” p. 7, meaning “ formatus, fictus fuit; ” but this is app. post classical]. (O, K.)

صَوْغٌ ذ inf. n. of صَاغَهُ [q. v.]. (S &c.) ― -b2- [In the Kur xii. 72,] some read نَفْقِدُ صَوْغَ المَلِكِ [meaning We miss, or see not, or find not, the King's molten vessel, or vessel made of melted metal ]: in this instance, صَوْغ is an inf. n. (O, K, TA) used as a subst., (O, TA,) in the sense of ↓ المَصُوغ, which means مَاصِيغَ [i. e. the thing that has been melted, and poured forth into a mould; &c.]; like ↓ المُصَاغُ [a pass. part. n. of a verb which is not mentioned]: (TA:) it is like ضَرْب in the phrase هٰذَا دِرْهَمٌ ضَرْبُ الأَمِيرِ, (O, K, * TA,) meaning مَضْرُوبُهُ: (O, TA:) and Er-Rághib says that it [i. e. the vessel thus termed] is held to have been made of molten gold: (TA:) some read [in the Kur xii. 72] ↓ صُوَاغ, as though this also were [originally] an inf. n. (O, K, TA) from صَاغَ, (O, TA,) like بُوَالٌ and قُوَامٌ (O, K, TA) from بَالَ and قَامَ. (O, TA.) [See also صَاعٌ, with the unpointed ع.] ― -b3- One says also, هٰذَا صَوْغُ هٰذَا This is of the measure of this; or is the like in measure of this: [as though of the make, form, fashion, mould, or cast, of this: (see also صِيغَةٌ:)] (S, O, Msb:) and هٰذَا المَاآءُ صَوْغُ الاـِنَاآءِ This water is of the measure of the vessel; or is the like in measure of the vessel: and everything that is the like in measure of another thing is said to be صَوْغُهُ.

(TA voce سَوْغٌ.)

صَوْغَةٌ ذ : see the last sentence here preceding, in two places.

صِيغَةٌ ذ is originally صِوْغَةٌ, (S, O, Msb,) the و being changed into ى because of the kesreh before it: (S O:) it is like قِيمَةٌ. (Msb.) [Its primary signification is A mode, or manner, of صَوْغ i. e. melting, and pouring forth into a mould; &c.: and hence it signifies a make, form, fashion, mould, or cast: ] and it is syn. with صِيَاغَةٌ, q. v.: (TA:) and signifies the making [a thing]; and making according to a certain measure or proportion [and the like ]. (Msb.) One says سِهَامٌ صِيغَةٌ (S, O, K) Arrows [ one in make; ] uniform; (TA;) of the make of one man. (S, O, K, * TA.) And صِيغَةُ ا@للّٰهِ, meaning (assumed tropical:) The creation of God. (Msb.) And هُوَ حَسَنُ الصِّيغَةِ (tropical:) He is goodly in respect of make and of stature: or this means هُوَ حَسَنُ العَمَلِ [which may in this case be correctly rendered he is goodly in respect of make: and also he is good in respect of work ]. (TA.) And هُوَ مِنْ صِيغَةٍ كَرِيمَةٍ (tropical:) He is of a generous origin. (Ibn-' Abbád, Z, O, K, TA.) And صِيغَةُ القَوْلِ كَذَا (tropical:) The mode, manner, fashion, or form, of the saying is thus. (Msb.) And صِيغَةُ الأَمْرِ كَذَا وَكَذَا (assumed tropical:) The shape of the affair, or case, is thus and thus. (TA.)
