TA:) or سَكَتَ is said of him who has the power, or faculty, of speech, but abstains from making use of it; whereas صَمَتَ is sometimes said of that which has not the power, or faculty, of speech: (
Er-Rághib,
MF,
TA:) or سَكَتَ,
aor. ـُ
inf. n. سُكُوتٌ and سَكْتٌ, signifies he (a man) ceased, or stopped, speaking; and سَكَتَ,
aor. ـُ
inf. n. سَكْتٌ, (assumed
tropical:) he (a man) was, or became, still, or quiet;
syn. سَكَنَ: (
Zj,
TA:) [it is said that] ↓ اسكت, also, is
syn. with صَمَتَ, like سَكَتَ; (
Msb;)
accord. to
Az, one says of a man, صَمَتَ and أَصَمَتَ and سَكَتَ and ↓ أَسْكَتَ: (
TA:) or, as some say, ↓ اسكت signifies he was, or became, silent, or he spoke not; and he ceased [from speech], or broke off [therefrom], or became cut short [therein]: (
Msb:) or سَكَتَ signifies he was, or became, silent intentionally; and ↓ اسكت, he was, or became, silent by reason of thought or disease or fear: (
TA:) or you say تَكَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ without ا [when you mean he spoke and then became silent, i. e., intentionally]; (
S) but you say ↓ اسكت when you mean his speech became broken off, or cut short, and so he spoke not. (
S,
K.) It is said in a
prov., سَكَتَ أَلْفًا ونَطَقَ خَلْفًا He held his tongue from a thousand words (سَكَتَ عَنْ أَلْفِ كَلِمَةٍ), and then uttered what was wrong. (
ISk,
S and
Msb in art. خلف.) and you say [of the quiescent ه that is sometimes added at the end of a word, after a vowel or a letter of prolongation, as in لَمْ يَرْضَهْ and وَا زَيْدَاهْ], هٰذِهِ هَآءُ السَّكْتِ [This is the هاء of pausation]. (

expl. above; and also (assumed
tropical:) It was, or became, still, quiet, motionless, at rest, stilled, quieted, appeased, tranquillized, calm, allayed, assuaged, or quelled; it remitted; it subsided; and so ↓ اسكت.] You say, ضَرَبَهُ حَتَّى سَكَتَتْ حَرَكَتُهُ (A) or حركته ↓ أَسْكَتَتْ (
TA) (
tropical:) [He beat him until his motion became stilled]; and ↓ حتّى أَسْكَتَ (assumed

TA:) as also ↓ اسكت: (
Msb:) and سَكَتَ عَنْهُ الغَضَبُ (

الغَضَبُ, (
S,) meaning,
accord. to
Zj, سَكَنَ [i. e. (assumed
tropical:) And when the anger became stilled so that it departed from Moses]: or, as some say, the phrase is inverted, the meaning being وَلَمَّا سَكَتَ مُوسَى عَنِ الغَضَبِ [And when Moses was silent, ceasing from anger]: but the former is the explanation of those skilled in the Arabic language. (

3 سَاْكَتَ ↓ سَاكَتَنِى فَسَكَتُّ [may mean He kept silence with me and I was silent: or he vied with me in keeping silence and I surpassed therein: or it may have both of these meanings; both being agreeable with
analogy]. (

S,
K,
TA,) well known among the physicians; (
TA;) [i. e. apoplexy; thus called in the present day:]
