K) and سَلَّاتٌ (
Msb) and [
coll. gen. n.] ↓ سَلٌّ, of which Abu-l-Hasan says that it is in his opinion a rare kind of
pl. [or
coll. gen. n.] because it denotes what is made by art, not created, and it should more properly be regarded as of the class of كَوْكَبٌ and كَوْكَبَةٌ [which are
syn.] because this is more common than the class of سَفِينَةٌ and سَفِينٌ. (
