بَاكٍ

particle n. of بَكَى [i. e. Weeping, &c.]: (K:) plural بُكِىٌّ, (S, K,) of the measure فُعُولٌ, with the و changed into ى [and the second dammeh consequently into a kesreh, wherefore it is also, sometimes, pronounced بِكِىٌّ], (S,) and بُكَاةٌ, (K,) which is agreeable with analogy and usage, though said by Es-Semeen to have not been heard. (TA.) [The plural of the feminine, i. e. of بَاكِيَةٌ, is بَاكِيَاتٌ and بَوَاكٍ.]
