كِلْسٌ

(S, K) and by poetic licence. ↓ كِلِّسٌ (IJ) i. q. صَارُوجٌ [i. e. Quick time, and the mixtures thereof, with which are plastered tanks, or cisterns, and baths, &c.], (S, K.) or the like thereof, (TA,) with which one builds: (S, TA:) or that with which a wall, or the inside of a palace or the like, is plastered, resembling جِص [or gypsum], without baked bricks. (TA.) A poet says, (S,) namely 'Adee Ibn-Zeyd, describing El-Hadr, a city between the Tigris and Euphrates, (TA,)

شَادَهُ مَرْمَرًا وَجَلَّلَهُ كِلْ

سًا فَلِلطَّيْرِ فِى ذُرَاهُ وُكُورُ

[He raised it high, of marble, and covered it with quick time, and there were nests for the birds in its tops]: or, according to As, the right reading is وَخَلَّلَهُ كِلْسًا, with خ, meaning, and put صاروج into the interstices of its stones; and he used to laugh at him who related it in the former manner, with ج. (TA.) But see 2.
