(O.) A2: [It is also trans.; as in the phrase] اصات القَوْسَ He made the bow to sound [or twang]: (M, TA:) [and so is ↓ صوّت; as in the phrase] صوّت العِلْكَ [He caused the kind of resin called عِلْك to make a sound, or sounds].

(O.) b4: Also He went away hiding himself. (K.) صَاتٌ: see صِيتٌ: b2: and see also صَيِّتٌ, in two places.

صَوْتٌ [an inf. n. (see 1): and also a simple subst., signifying] A sound, (M, MA, TA, PS,) a noise, a voice, a cry, a shout, an exclamation, or a vociferation; (MA, PS;) of a human being and of other things: (ISk, TA:) conventionally, the sound of speech: (Msb:) [also a tone, considered with regard to the degree of elevation or depression of the voice:] and any sort of singing: (M, TA:) [and an air, or a song:] and it is used to signify a clamour, or confused noise, or mixture of sounds, (S,) and a cry for aid or succour: (S, M:) the pl. is أَصْوَاتٌ: (M, Msb, TA:) it is masc.: (S, * M, Msb, TA:) in the following verse, (S, M, Msb,) of Ruweyshid Ibn-Ketheer (S, M) Et-Tá-ee, (S,) يَا أَيُّهَا الرَّاكِبُ المُزْجِى مَطِيَّتَهُ سَايِلْ بَنِى أَسَدٍ مَا هٰذِهِ الصَّوْتُ [O thou, the rider urging on his beast, ask the sons of Asad what is this clamour?], (S, M, Msb,) the poet has made الصوت fem. because meaning thereby. الضَّوْضَآء and الجَلَبَة and الاِسْتِغَاثَة, (S,) or he has made it fem. as meaning الصَّيْحَة, (M, Msb,) or الاِسْتِغَاثَة: (M:) the like is often done by the Arabs, when two words, masc. and fem., are syn.: thus they say, أَقْبَلَتِ العِشَآءُ, meaning العَشِيَّةُ; and هٰذَا العَشِيَّةُ, meaning العِشَآءُ: (Msb:) but the making a masc. n. fem. for this reason is bad; though the reverse is held to be allowable. (M.) The Arabs say, أَسْمَعُ صَوْتًا وَأَرَى فَوْتًا, meaning I hear a sound, or voice, but I see not a deed. (TA.) بِصَوْتِكَ in the Kur xvii. 66 is said to mean With the sounds of [thy] singing, and musical pipes. (M, TA.) b2: اِسْمُ صَوْتٍ is a term applied to A noun significant of a sound: nouns of this kind being of two classes; namely, nouns applied to the purpose of addressing irrational beings, or what are virtually in the predicament of irrational beings, as young infants; and onomatopœias, or nouns imitative of sounds: the former class consists of two descriptions of words; namely, ejaculations used for the purpose of chiding, as هَلَا (to horses) and عَدَسْ (to mules) and كِخْ كِخْ (to a young infant); and ejaculations used for the purpose of calling, as جِىْء (to camels) and تُشَأْ (to an ass): of the other class are غَاقِ (imitative of the cry of the crow) and طَقْ (imitative of the sound produced by the falling of stones) and قبْ (imitative of the sound produced by the fall of a sword) &c.: nouns significant of sounds are generally indecl., because they resemble certain particles in neither governing nor being governed; but some of them are occasionally decl. [like other nouns]. (ElAshmoonee's Expos. of the Alfeeyeh of Ibn-Málik, section اسماء الافعال والاصوات.) b3: See also the next paragraph, in four places.

صِيتٌ (S, M, A, Msb, K) and ↓ صَوْتٌ (S, M, A, K) and ↓ صَاتٌ (M, K) and ↓ صِيتَةٌ (K) Fame, report, repute, or reputation, whether good or evil: (TA:) or good fame, good report, good repute or reputation, (S, M, Msb, K,) that spreads (S) among the people; (S, Msb;) so some say; (TA;) not evil: (S:) [they may often be well rendered renown:] صِيتٌ is originally صِوْتٌ; the و being changed into ى on account of the kesreh preceding it: it seems as though they made it to be of the measure فِعْلٌ to distinguish between the صَوْت that is heard and the fame &c. that is known: but sometimes they said, فِى ↓ اِنْتَشَرَ صَوْتُهُ النَّاسِ in the sense of صِيتُهُ [i. e. His fame &c., or good fame &c., spread among the people]: (S, TA:) and فِى النَّاسِ ↓ لَهُ صَوْتٌ and صِيتٌ [He has fame &c., or good fame &c., among the people]: and ذَهَبَ صِيتُهُ فِيهِمْ [His fame &c., or good fame &c., went among them]. (A.) It is said in a trad., مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ إِلَّا لَهُ صِيتٌ فِى السَّمَآءِ, meaning [There is no servant of God, i. e. no man, but he has] a report by which he is known [in Heaven]; and it may be in respect of good and evil. (TA.) And in another trad., فَصْلُ مَا بَيْنَ وَالدَّفٌ ↓ الحَلَالِ وَالحَرَامِ الصَّوْتُ [The distinction between the lawful (i. e. marriage) and the unlawful (i. e. fornication) is the report that is made in the case of the former, and the tambourine that is used in that case], meaning the publication of the marriage, and the going of the report thereof among the people. (TA.) A2: صِيتٌ also signifies A blacksmith's hammer. (K, * TA.) b2: And An artificer, or a handicraftsman; syn. صَانِعٌ: (K accord. to the TA:) or a goldsmith; syn. صَائِغٌ. (So in the CK and in my MS. copy of the K.) صِيتَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

(TA. [But see the next paragraph: and see also مِصْوَاتٌ.]) صَيِّتٌ, applied to a man, (S, M, A, Msb, K,) and ↓ صَاتٌ, so applied, (S, M, K,) and the latter likewise applied to an ass, (S,) both signify the same, (K,) Vehement, strong, or loud, of voice: (S, M, Msb:) ↓ رَجُلٌ صَاتٌ is like رَجُلٌ مَالٌ “ a man having much property,” and رَجُلٌ نَالٌ “ a man who gives much,” and كَبْشٌ صَافٌ [“ a ram having much wool ”], &c., all of these epithets being originally of the measure فَعِلٌ: (S:) or صَاتٌ may be of the measure فَاعِلٌ from which the medial radical has gone; or it may be [originally صَوِتٌ,] of the measure فَعِلٌ. (M.) One says also صَوْتٌ صَيِّتٌ [A vehement, strong, or loud, voice]. (A.) See also صَائِتٌ.

صَوَّاتٌ: see مِصْوَاتٌ.

مُصَوِّتٌ: see the next paragraph, in two places.

مِصْوَاتٌ One who raises his voice, calls or calls out, cries or cries out, shouts, clamours, exclaims, or vociferates; i. q. ↓ مُصَوِّتٌ: (K, TA:) [or, as also ↓ صَوَّاتٌ, often occurring, who does so much, or is in the habit of doing so; each being of a measure denoting intensiveness of the signification.] b2: [Hence,] one says, مَا بِالدَّارِ مِصْوَاتٌ, meaning There is not in the house any one (K, TA) that raises his voice, &c.: in some copies of the K ↓ مُصَوِّتٌ, which has the same meaning. (TA.) مُنْصَاتٌ Straight in stature. (S.)
