accord. to
Lth, (
T,
TA,) سِوَاكٌ is
masc. and
fem., (
IDrd,
T,
M,
O,
K,) though it is the more approvable way to make it
masc.; (O;) but
Az holds this to be a mistake, and the word to be
masc. [only]; and
Hr says that this assertion of
Lth is one of his foul mistakes: (
TA:) its
pl. is سُوُكٌ (
S,
O,
Msb,
K) and سُوْكٌ (
Az,
TA) and سُؤُكٌ, (
AHn,
TA,) and [of pauc.] أَسْوِكَةٌ; and the
pl. of ↓ مِسْوَاكٌ is مَسَاوِيكُ. (
TA.) In the saying, in a
trad., خَيْرُ خِلَالِ الصَّائِمِ السِّوَاكُ, a prefixed
n. is [said to be] suppressed [so that the meaning is The best of the habits, or customs, of the faster is the use of the tooth-stick: but see 2, where سِوَاكٌ is said, on the authority of the
Msb, to be also an
inf. n.].
مِسْوَاكٌ: see سِوَاكٌ, in two places.
