Parallel reading

الطلهيس، بالتحتية، كسفرجل، هكذا في النسخ

Al-Tullayhis, with the ya', like safarjal, thus in the manuscripts.

وفي التكملة والعباب بالموحدة بدل التحتية

And in Al-Takmilah and Al-Ubab with the ba' instead of the ya'.

ثم وزنه كسفرجل هو الذي في التكملة، والصواب بالكسر كقنديل.

Then its pattern is like safarjal, which is in Al-Takmilah, and the correct pronunciation is with a kasrah, like qindil.

وقد أهمله الجوهري، وأورده الصاغاني من غير عزو

And Al-Jawhari omitted it, and Al-Sagani mentioned it without attribution.

وسيأتي فيما بعد عزوه إلى الليث، وقال: هو العسكر الكثير كالطلهيس، كقنديل، الصواب كطهليس، بتقديم الهاء وبالكسر، واللام والهاء زائدتان

And it will be mentioned later that it is attributed to Al-Layth, who said: It is the abundant army, like al-tullayhis, like qindil. The correct is like tahlees, with the ha' preceding and with a kasrah, and the lam and ha' are extra.

والطيس: العدد الكثير من كل شيء، كما سيأتي.

And al-tays: the abundant number of everything, as will be mentioned later.

والطلهيس أيضا: ظلمة الليل، كأنه من الطلس، وهو الأسود.

And al-tullayhis also: the darkness of the night, as if it is from al-tals, which is black.
