سَلْحٌ Excrement, ordure, or dung: (
L,
TA: [and evidently so
accord. to the
Msb; in my copy of which, and so,
app., in the copy used by
SM, immediately after the mention and explanation of the verb سَلَحَ, is added, وهو سلحة تسمية بالمصدر; plainly showing, by what follows سلحة, that this word is a mistranscription for سَلْحُهُ; and that the meaning is, “and it is its سَلْح, an instance of the
inf. n. used as a
subst. properly so called; ”
i. e., the dung of a bird is called its سَلْح; for the verb is there said to relate to a bird; though in truth it has a general application:]) or such as is thin, of any dung: (
L,
TA: [and this is the sense in which it is commonly known:]) and ↓ سُلَاحٌ signifies [the same: i. e.] excrement, ordure, or dung, (

A,
MA,
L,
K,
KL,) of a human being, (
KL,) or of a bird (

TA.) [رَمَى بِسَلْحِهِ frequently occurs in the Lexicons &c., meaning He cast forth his excrement, or ordure; or properly, in a thin state.] يَا سَلْحَ الغُرَابِ [

Lth,
Mgh,
K:) it is of the
masc. gender, (
S,
Msb,
TA,)
accord. to the more approved usage, (
TA,) or that which most prevails, (
Msb,) because in the

pl. form of a
masc.
n., (
S,
Msb, *) as in the instances of أَحْمِرَةٌ,

fem., (

L,) and the
pl. fem. is سِلَاحَاتٌ. (

إِطْرِيحْ [The tree of my father is the isleeh: froth upon the milk, and milk free from froth; and a long, or tall, hump: these are the consequences of pasturing upon it]: (
