صَرَارِىٌّ

A sailor: (S, M, K:) like صَارٍ: (S:) plural صَرَارِيُّونَ: (S, M, K:) it has no broken plural: (M:) or صَرّارِىّ should be [without tenween, imperfectly decl., and] mentioned in article صرى; for it is plural of صُرَّاءٌ, which is plural of صَارٍ, which J has mentioned in article صرى: AHát used to say that صُرَّاءٌ is a singular, like حُسَّانٌ; but without sufficient authority: and J has regarded صَرَارِىّ as a singular in consequence of his finding it to have the same construction as a sing, in verses of Arabs; whence he imagined the ى in it to be the relative ى, as is shown by his mentioning the word in this place.
