ذَالٌ
1.
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 masculine and feminine; (B, TA;) [but generally it is feminine; and therefore] the diminutive is
ذُوَيْلَةٌ: (K:) the plural is أَذْوَالٌ and ذَالَاتٌ. (TA.)
