aor. ـِ (
S,
Mgh,
O,
Msb,
K,)
inf. n. ضَلَالٌ and ضَلَالَةٌ; (
S, *
O, *
Msb;) and ضَلِلْتُ, (
S,
Mgh, *
O,
Msb, *
K,) third
Pers\. as above; (
Mgh;) the former of the
dial. of Nejd, and the more chaste; the latter of the
dial. of the people of El-'Áliyeh, (
S,
Msb,
TA,) and of El-Hijáz, and
Kr has mentioned ضِلِلْتُ for ضَلِلْتُ as heard from the tribe of Temeem; (
TA;) I erred, strayed, or went astray; (
Mgh,
Msb;) deviated from the right way or course, or from that which was right; missed, or lost, the right way; or lost my way; ضَلَالٌ and ضَلَالَةٌ signifying the
contr. of رَشَادٌ, (
S,
O,
TA,) and هُدًى. (
K,
TA.) [See ضَلَالٌ below.] Hence, in the
Kur [xxxiv. 49], قُلْ إِنْ ضَلَلْتُ فِإِنَّمَا أَضِلُّ عَلَى نَفْسِى [Say thou, If I err, I shall err only against myself, i. e., to my own hurt]. (
O,
Msb. [See also x. 108 and xvii.
16 of the
Kur.]) One says also, ضَلَّ ضَلَالُهُ [
app. His error became error indeed; a phrase similar to جَدَّ جِدُّهُ,
q. v.: or his erring passed away; see 4, latter part]. (
TA.) And ضَلَّ عَنِ القَصْدِ He deviated from the right way or course. (
TA.) And the verb is
trans. as well as
intrans.: you say, ضَلَّ الطَّرِيقَ, and ضَلَّ عَنْهُ,
aor. ـِ and ضَلَّ, (
Mgh,
Msb,)
inf. ns. as above, meaning He erred, strayed, or went astray, from the road, or way; (
Msb;) he did not find the way to the road: (
Mgh,
Msb:) and of anything stationary, if you miss the place thereof, you say ضَلَلْتُهُ and ضَلِلْتُهُ: (
Az,
Msb:) or you say, ضَلِلْتُ الطَّرِيقَ, (
K,) or ضَلِلْتُ المَسْجِدَ, and الدَّارَ, (
ISk,
S,
O,) [I missed, or lost, the right way to the road, or the mosque, and the house,] when you know not the place thereof: (
ISk,
S, O:) and in like manner, anything stationary, to which one does not find the way: (
ISk,
S,
O,
K:) and
AA says the like: but that one says of a thing that falls from his hand, and a thing that quits its place, ↓ أَضْلَلْتُهُ, (
IB,
TA,) which means I lost it, and knew not its place; meaning, for instance, a horse, or she-camel, or the like: (
Az,
Msb:) [thus] one says, أَضْلَلْتُ بِعِيرِى [I lost my camel, and knew not his place,] (
AA,
ISk,
S,
IB, O) when his shank has been tied up to his arm and one does not find the way to him, and when he has been left loose and has gone away whither one knows not: (
AA,
IB,
TA:) but
Yoo differs from others respecting this case; for,
accord. to him, one says, اضلّ فُلَانٌ بَعِيرَهُ and also ضَلَّهُ, in the same sense; (
O,
TA;) and the like is said in the
K: (
TA:) and it is also said in the
Bári' that when you seek an animal and miss its place and find not the way to it, it is regarded as in the category of stationary things, and therefore you say ضَلِلْتُهُ. (
Msb.)
b2: ضَلَّ signifies also He was, or became, confounded, or perplexed, and unable to see his right course. (Ibn-Es-Seed,
TA.)
b3: Also,
aor. ـِ (
S,
O,
K) and ضَلَّ, (
K,) the
pret. being like زَلَّ and مَلَّ, (
TA,)
inf. n. ضَلَال, It (a thing,
S,
O,
TA) became lost; [as though it went astray;] it perished, came to nought, or passed away. (
S,
O,
K,
TA.) Thus in the phrase ضَلَّ عَنِّى كَذَا Such a thing became lost from me. (
Mgh.) One says to him from whom pieces of money have dropped, قَدْ ضَلَّتْ عَنْكَ [They have become lost from thee]. (
TA.) And to him who has done a deed from which no profit has resulted, you say, قَد ضَلَّ سَعْيُكَ (
tropical:) [Thy labour has been lost]: the like occurs in the
Kur xviii. 104, meaning ضَاعَ. (
TA, in two places.)
b4: And (
tropical:) He (a man,
TA) died, and became dust and bones. (
K,
TA.) In this sense the verb is used in the
Kur xxxii. 9: but some there read, in the place of ضَلَلْنَا, صَلِلْنَا [
q. v.], with ص: (
TA:) or the verb in that instance has the meaning here next following. (
S.)
b5: And (assumed
tropical:) He, or it, (a man,
S,
TA, or a camel,
Msb, and a thing,
TA,) was, or became, unperceived or imperceptible, unapparent, latent, hidden or concealed, or absent, (
S,
Msb,
K,
TA.) Hence the phrase, ضَلَّ المَآءُ فِى اللَّبَنِ (
tropical:) [The water became unperceived, or concealed, in the milk]. (
TA.) One says of a road to which he has not been able to find the way, ضَلَّ عَنِّى
[It has become hidden from me]. (
K,
TA.) and hence also the saying of a man, as is related in a
trad., (
S,
O,
TA,) after his having charged his sons by saying to them, “When I die, burn ye me; and when I shall have become ashes, pound me; then scatter me in the water: ” (
O,
TA:) لَعَلِّى أَضِلُّ اللّٰه (
S,
O,
TA) i. e. (assumed
tropical:) May-be, I shall be unperceived by God, or concealed from Him: (
S:) or may-be, I shall be hidden, or absent, from God's punishment: (
O,
TA:) or, as El-'Otbee says, may-be, I shall escape God, and my place will be hidden from Him. (
TA.) And ضَلَّ said of one forgetting means (assumed
tropical:) His memory became absent from him. (
O,
Msb,
TA.) أَنْ تَضِلَّ إِحْدَاهُمَا, or إِنْ تَضِلَّ, in the
Kur [ii. 282],
accord. to different readers, (
TA,) in which instance أَنْ and إِنْ are
syn., (
Mughnee, [see أَنْ, in p. 106, cols. 1 and 2,]) means If one of them twain [referring to women] be absent from her memory: or if the memory of one of them twain be absent from her: [or if one of them twain err in her memory:] or,
accord. to
Zj, the meaning of the verb in this case is that which next follows. (
TA.)
b6: ضَلِلْتُ الشَّىْءَ also signifies (assumed
tropical:) I forgot the thing: whence one says of a woman, ضَلَّتْ أَيَّامَ حَيْضِهَا (assumed
tropical:) [She forgot the days of her menstruation]; and so ↓ أَضَلَّتْهَا: (
Mgh:) or ضَلَّ فُلَانًا (assumed
tropical:) He was made, or caused, to forget such a one. (
K. [In the
CK, اُنْسِيْهِ is erroneously put for أُنْسِيَهُ.]) It is said that لَا يَضِلُّ رَبِّى, in the
Kur xx. 54, means (assumed
tropical:) My Lord will not be unmindful: or nothing will escape Him. (
TA.)
b7: And one says, ضَلَّنِى فُلَانٌ, (
Msb,
K,) or ضَلَّنِى فُلَانٌ فَلَمْ أَقْدَرْ عَلَيْهِ, (
O,) meaning Such a one went away from me, (
O,
Msb,
K,) and I was unable to compass him [or to find him]: so in the
Bári'. (
Msb.)
A2: ضُلَّ, as a verb of wonder: see ضُلٌّ.
2 ضلَلهُ, (
S,
MA,
O,
K,)
inf. n. تَضْلِيلٌ and تَضْلَالٌ, (
K,) He, or it, made, or caused, him to pursue a course that led to error, or deviation from the right way: (
K: [see also 4:]) he, or it, led him astray; seduced him: (
MA:) [or] he attributed, or imputed, to him error, or deviation from the right way. (
S,
MA, O.) ضُلِّلَ سَعْيُهُمْ, a phrase used by a poet, means Error, or deviation from the right way, was attributed to their labour; because they did not reach their goal. (
Ham p. 771.)
b2: [Hence,] one says, ضَلِّلْ مَالَكَ Send forth, or set free, thy cattle to pasture, or to pasture where they please, by themselves. (
O.)
b3: See also the next paragraph.
4 اضلّهُ,
inf. n. إِضْلَالٌ, He, or it, made him, or caused him, to err, stray, or go astray; to deviate from the right way or course, or from that which was right; to miss, or lose, the right way; or to lose his way. (
Az,
TA.) [See also 2, first sentence.] الإِضْلَالُ is of two sorts: one of these is the consequence of erring, or straying; either as in the case in which one says أَضْلَلْتُ البَعِيرَ (
expl. above, see 1, former half); or the decreeing that one shall err, or stray, &c., because he has done so already, and this is sometimes the case when the إِضْلَال of a man is attributed to God: the other sort is the embellishing [or commending] to a man that which is false, or wrong, or vain, in order that he may err, or stray, &c.: and God's
إِضْلَال of a man is of two sorts; one of which has been
expl. above; the other is God's so constituting man that when he observes [and pursues] a certain course, or way, [of acting or the like], whether it be such as is commended or such as is discommended, he habituates himself to it, and esteems it pleasant, and keeps to it, and finds it difficult to turn from it, wherefore it is said that custom is a second nature. (
Er-Rághib,
TA.)
b2: Also He, or it, made, or caused, him, or it, to perish, or become lost;
syn. أَهْلَكَهُ, (
S,
TA,) and أَضَاعَهُ, (El-
Fárábee,
S,
O,
Msb,) or ضَيَّعَهُ; (
TA;) [اضاعهُ and ضيّعهُ signifying the same; and so اضلّهُ and ↓ ضللّٰهُ; whence,] أَلَمْ يَجْعَلْ كَيْدَهُمْ فِى تَضْلِيلٍ, in the
Kur cv. 2, means [Did He not make their plot to be such as ended] in a causing to perish, or become lost, (فِى تَضْيِيعٍ,) and in annulment? (
Ksh,
Bd.) أَضَلَّ أَعْمَالَهُمْ, in the
Kur [xlvii. 1 and 9, which may be rendered (assumed
tropical:) He will cause their works to be lost, or to be of no effect], means,
accord. to Aboo-Is-hák, He will not recompense them for their good works; the phrase being similar to the saying قَدْ ضَلَّ سَعْيُكَ [
expl. above]. (
TA.) And أَضَلَّ اللّٰهُ ضَلَالَكَ (assumed
tropical:) [May God make thine erring to be no more, or to come to an end,] is
expl. by
ISk as meaning may thine erring pass away from thee, so that thou shalt not err; and he adds that the saying مَلَّ مَلَالُكَ means ذَهَبَ عَنْكَ حَتَّى لَا تَمَلَّ. (
TA.)
b3: Also (
tropical:) He buried, and hid, or concealed, him, or it. (
K,
TA.) Yousay, أُضِلَّ المَيِّتُ (
tropical:) The dead was buried. (
S, O.) The phrase أَضَلَّتْ بِهِ أُمُّهُ, meaning (
tropical:) His mother buried him, in a verse cited by
IAar, is
extr., or
anomalous. (
TA.)
b4: And He found him to be erring, straying, going astray; deviating from the right way or course, or from that which was right; missing, or losing, the right way; losing his way; not rightly directed, or not finding the way to the truth: like as one says أَحْمَدَهُ, and أَبْخَلَهُ. (
TA.)
b5: And you say, أَضَلَّنِى كَذَا, meaning (assumed
tropical:) Such a thing was, or became, beyond my power, or compass. (
IAar,
Msb,
TA.)
b6: See also 1, near the end.
5 تظلّل It went away: so in the saying, تضلّل المَآءُ مِنْ تَحْتِ الحَجَرِ [The water went away from beneath the stone]. (
O,
TA.) 6 تضالّ He feigned himself to be erring, straying, going astray; deviating from the right way or course, or from that which was right; missing, or losing, the right way; or losing his way. (
O,
TA.) 10 استضلّ ضَلَالُهُ His erring demanded that he should err [the more], so that he did err [the more: like as erring is said to be a cause of one's being made to err: see 4: and see also ضَلَّ ضَلَالُهُ, near the beginning of the art.]: so in the saying of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, رَآهَا الفُؤَادُ فَاسْتَضَلَّ ضَلَالُهُ [The heart beheld her, and his erring demanded that he should err &c.]. (
Skr,
S,
TA.) ضَلٌّ: see ضَلَالٌ.
ضُلٌّ: see ضَلَالٌ.
b2: [Also,
app. as meaning A lost state; a state of perishing, coming to nought, or passing away;] a
subst. from ضَلَّ signifying ضَاعَ and هَلَكَ. (
S,
TA.)
b3: And hence [its usage, in the manner of a proper name, in] the saying, هُوَ ضُلُّ بْنُ ضُلٍّ, (
S,) which means, (
S,
O,
K,) as also ↓ هُوَ ضِلُّ بْنُ ضِلٍّ, (Ibn-'Abbád,
O,
K,) He is the unknown, the son of the unknown; (
S,
Z,
O,
K;) and in like manner, بْنُ التَّلَالِ ↓ الضَّلَالُ; (
S, O;) and قُلُّ بْنُ قُلٍّ: (
TA:) or he is one in whom is no good: (
K:) or he is one who persists in error. (
M,
K.)
b4: [Hence also, perhaps, it is said that]
يَا ضُلَّ مَا تَجْرِى بِهِ العَصَا [in the
CK ضَلَّ] meansيَا فَقْدَهُ and يَا تَلَفَهُ [i. e.,
app., O the loss, or O the coming to nought, of that by reason of which the mare El-'
Asà is running!]: (
K,
TA:) a
prov.; said by Kaseer Ibn-Saad to Jedheemeh El-Abrash, when he went with him to Ez-Zebbà; for when they were within her province, he repented, and Kaseer said to him, “Mount this my horse, and escape upon him, for his dust will not be cloven [by the pursuer,” i. e. he will not be overtaken]: (
TA: [but the mare is thus made a male:]) or it was said by 'Amr Ibn-'Adee, when he saw El-'
Asà, the mare of Jedheemeh, with Kaseer upon her: قَوْمُ is suppressed after يا; and ↓ ضُلَّ is of the forms [of verbs] denoting wonder, originally ضَلُلَ, with damm, like حُبَّ in the phrase حُبَّ بِفُلَانٍ, originally حَبُبَ; and the meaning of the
prov. is, O people, what a case of perdition is that by reason of which El-'
Asà is running! i. e., the death of Jedheemeh. (
Meyd.)
b5: ضُلٌّ بِتَضْلَالٍ [in
CK ضَلٌّ] means A vain, or futile, thing: (
S,
O,
K:) [or a vain, misleading thing; تَضْلَالٌ being an
inf. n. of ضَلَّلَ:] 'Amr Ibn-
Shás El-Asadee says, تَذَكَّرْتُ لَيْلَى لَاتَ حِينَ ادِكَارِهَا وَقَدْ حُنِىَ الأَضْلَاعُ ضُلٌّ بِتَضْلَالِ [I remembered Leylà when it was not a time for remembering her, the ribs having become bent by the bending of the back with age: it was a vain, misleading thing]. (
S, O.)
b6: ضُلُّ أَضْلَالٍ: see ضِلَّةٌ.
هُوَ ضِلُّ بْنُ ضِلٍّ: see ضُلٌّ.
b2: ضِلُّ أَضْلَالٍ: see ضِلَّةٌ.
ضَلَّةٌ Confusion, or perplexity, and inability to see the right course: (
K:) [or error: for] one says, فَعَلَ ذٰلِكَ ضَلَّةً He did that in error (فِى
ضَلَالَةٍ): and ذَهَبَ ضَلَّةً He went away not knowing whither he went: (
TA:) and فُلَانٌ يَلُومُنِى ضَلَّةً
Such a one blames me wrongly: (
S, O:) [or, behind my back, or in my absence: for] ضَلَّةٌ signifies also speech respecting a person behind his back, or in his absence; relating to good and to evil. (
M,
K,
TA.)
A2: [Freytag explains it as signifying also One in whom is no good, on the authority of
Meyd.]
ضُلَّةٌ Skill in guiding, or directing aright, in journeying. (
Fr,
K, *
TA.) ضِلَّةٌ: see ضَلَالٌ.
b2: [Hence,] هُوَ ابْنُهُ لِضِلَّةٍ (
tropical:) He is his son unlawfully begotten, or not trueborn. (
Az,
A,
K,
TA.)
b3: ذَهَبَ دَمُهُ ضِلَّةً (
tropical:) His blood went unrevenged, or without retaliation. (
K,
TA.)
b4: And هُوَ تِبْعُ ضِلَّةٍ, (
Th,
O,
K,
TA,) with kesr to the ت and to the ض, (
TA,) [in the
CK, erroneously, تَبَعُ,] and تِبْعٌ ضِلَّةٌ, (
K,
TA,) thus related by
IAar, (
TA,) but the former only
accord. to
Th, (
TA in art. تبع,) (assumed
tropical:) He is a follower of women: (
TA in that art.:) or he is one in whom is no good, and with whom is no good: (
IAar,
Th,
TA:) or he is a very cunning man (دَاهِيَةٌ), one in whom is no good; (
IAar,
O,
K,
TA;) and so تِبْعُ صِلَّةٍ, (
O,
L,
TA,) as some relate it; (
L,
TA;) and in like manner, أَضْلَالٍ ↓ ضِلُّ, (
Lh,
O,
K,
TA,) and أَضْلَالٍ ↓ ضُلُّ, (
K,
TA,) and صِلُّ
أَصْلَالٍ, [
q. v.,] which is with kesr only, (
K,
TA,) a phrase similar to ضِرُّ أَضْرَارٍ. (
TA in art. ضر.) ضَلَلٌ: see ضَلَالٌ.
b2: Also Water (
O,
K) running (
K) beneath a rock, which the sun does not reach: (
O,
K:) one says مَآءٌ ضَلَلٌ: (
O:) or running among trees. (
K.) [See also ضَلَلٌ.]
ضَلَالٌ [an
inf. n. of 1: used as a simple
subst.,] Error;
contr. of رَشَادٌ, (
S,
O,
TA,) and of هُدًى; (
K,
TA;) as also ↓ ضَلَالَةٌ, (
S,
O,
K,) and ↓ ضَلٌّ, and ↓ ضُلٌّ, and ↓ ضِلَّةٌ, and ↓ ضَلَلٌ, and ↓ ضَلْضَلَةٌ, (
K,) and ↓ ضُلَضِلَةٌ, (
O,
TA,) and ↓ أُضْلُولَةٌ, (
K,) of which last the
pl. is أَضَالِيلُ, (
Lth,
O,
TA,) as in the saying تَمَادَى فِى أَضَالِيلِ الهَوَى [He persevered in the errors of love], (
TA,) or أَضَالِيلُ, as some say, has no
sing., or its
sing. is supposed, or has been heard, and is أُضْلُولَةٌ or أُضْلُولٌ or إِضْلِيلٌ or some other form: (
MF,
TA:) the primary signification of الضَّلَالُ is the going away from the right course, or direction: (
Ham p. 357:) or it signifies,
accord. to Ibn-El-Kemál, the loss, or missing, of that which brings, or conducts, to the object sought: or, as some say, the pursuing a way that will not bring, or conduct, to that object: or,
accord. to
Er-Rághib, the deviating from the right way: and it is said to be any deviation from that which is right, intentional or unintentional, little or much; because the right and approved way is very difficult; wherefore it may be used of him who commits any mistake whatever, and is imputed to prophets and to unbelievers, though between the ضلال of the former and that of the latter is a wide difference: and in another point of view, it is of two sorts; one is in the speculative departments of knowledge, as in acquaintance with the unity of God, and with the prophetic function or office, and the like, indicated in the
Kur iv. 135; or it is in the practical departments of knowledge, as in acquaintance with the ordinances of the law, that is, religious services. (
TA.)
b2: Also A state of perdition: so in the
Kur liv. 24: (
S, O:) [and in like manner ↓ ضَلَالَةٌ; for] ضَلَالَةُ العَمَلِ signifies The annulled and lost state of work. (
TA.)
b3: And Absence, or a state of concealment. (
Msb. [This is there said to be the primary signification.])
b4: هُوَ الضَّلَالُ بْنُ التَّلَالِ see
expl. voce ضُلٌّ.
ضَلُولٌ: see ضَالٌّ.
ضَلَالَةٌ: see ضَلَالٌ, in the beginning, and near the end, of the paragraph. One says, هِىَ الضَّلَالَةُ وَالتَّلَالَةُ; (
S, O;) in which the latter noun is an
imitative sequent. (
S and
K in art. تل.) ضِلِّيلٌ A man (
S, O) who errs, strays, goes astray, or deviates from the right way or course, much, or often: (
S,
O,
K:) or (
tropical:) who errs, &c., much, or often, in religion: (
TA:) and ↓ مُضَلَّلٌ, (
S,
TA,) which in some of the copies of the
S is written thus and also مُضَلِّل, (
TA,) signifies the same; (
S,
TA;) or one who is not disposed, or directed, to good; in the
K, الّذى لا يُوَفِّى بِخَيْرٍ, [or يُوفِى بخير, as in the
CK,] but correctly الّذى
لا يُوَفَّقُ لِخَيْرٍ; or, as some say, a committer of errors, and of false, wrong, or vain, actions: and ضِلِّيلٌ is also
expl. as signifying one who will not desist from error. (
TA.) Imra-el-Keys was called المَلِكُ الضِّلِّيلُ [The much-erring king], (
S,
O,
K,
TA, [in the
CK, erroneously, الضَّلِيلُ,]) and ↓ الملك المُضَلَّلُ. (
K.) ضَالٌّ Erring, straying, or going astray; deviating from the right way or course, or from that which is right; missing, or losing, the right way; or losing his way; (
S, *
Msb,
TA;) and ↓ ضَلُولٌ is
syn. therewith; (
K;) [or rather with ضِلِّيلٌ,
accord. to a general rule:]
pl. of the former ضُلَّالٌ, [of which see an
ex. in a verse cited
voce رِسْلٌ,] and ضُالُّونَ: [in the
Kur i. last verse,] some read وَلَا الضَّأَلِّينَ, to avoid the concurrence of two quiescent letters. (
TA.) You say ضَالٌّ تَالٌّ; (
S, O;) in which the latter
epithet is an
imitative sequent. (
S and
K in art. تل.)
b2: [Also Becoming lost; &c.
b3: And Forgetting. It is said that] وَأَنَا مِنَ الضَّالِّينَ [in the
Kur xxvi. 19] means (assumed
tropical:) I being of those that forgot. (
K,
TA.) And اِمرَأَةٌ ضَالَّةٌ means (assumed
tropical:) A woman forgetting the days of her menstruation. (
Mgh.) ضَالَّةٌ an
epithet in which the quality of a
subst. is predominant, (
IAth,
TA,) A stray; i. e. a beast that has strayed: (
S,
O,
TA:) or a camel remaining in a place where it is lost, without an owner (
K,
TA) that is known: (
TA:) or a lost animal (
IAth,
Msb,
TA) or other thing, whatever it be: (
IAth,
TA:) applied to the male and to the female, (
S,
O,
Msb,
K,) and to two and to a
pl. number: (
TA;) and it has for its
pl. ضَوَالُّ, (
Msb,
TA,) like دَوَابُّ
pl. of دَابَّةٌ. (
Msb.) It is said in a
trad., ضَالَّةُ المُؤْمِنِ حَرَقُ النَّارِ [
expl. in art. حرق]. (
TA.) And one says, الحِكْمَةُ ضَالَّةُ المُؤْمِنِ (assumed
tropical:) [Wisdom is the object of persevering quest of the believer]; meaning that the believer ceases not to seek wisdom like as a man seeks his stray. (
TA.) ضَلَضِلٌ and ↓ ضَلَضِلَةٌ, (
As,
S,) as though contracted from ضَلَاضِلٌ [and ضَلَاضِلَةٌ], (
S,) or أَرْضٌ
↓ ضَلَضِلَةٌ and ضَلَضِلٌ [in the
CK ضَلَضَلَةٌ and صَلَضَلٌ] and ↓ ضُلَضِلَةٌ and ↓ ضُلَضِلٌ (
K) and ↓ ضُلَاضِلٌ (
Lh,
K) and ضُلْضُلَةٌ, (
IDrd,
K,) Rugged land or ground. (
As,
S,
K.) And مَكَانٌ ضَلَضِلٌ, originally ضَلَاضِيلُ, A hard, stony place. (
Fr,
TA.)
b2: Also, (so in the
K,) i. e. (
TA) ضَلَضِلٌ and ↓ ضَلَضِلَةٌ,
accord. to
As, (
O,
TA,) or ↓ ضُلَضِلَةٌ, (
S,
O,
TA,) [said to be] the only instance of its kind among reduplicate words, (
S,
