[See also 2 in art. ذيل.]ذَالٌ A certain letter of the alphabet, (Lth, ISd, K,) [ذ,] pronounced with the voice, [not with the breath only,] and always a radical, not a substitute for another letter, nor augmentative; (ISd, TA;) its place of utterance is at the roots of the teeth, near the place of utterance of ت [or ث]; and it may be masc. and fem.; (B, TA;) [but generally it is fem.; and therefore] the dim. is ↓ ذُوَيْلَةٌ: (K:) the pl. is أَذْوَالٌ and ذَالَاتٌ. (TA.) A2: Also The comb of a cock. (Kh, TA.) ذَوِيلٌ, explained by IDrd as signifying What is dry, of plants &c., and so in the K, is said by ISd to be correctly دَوِيلٌ [q. v.].
