رَايَةٌ

, (T, S, M, Msb, K,) and رَاءَةٌ, mentioned by Sb on the authority of Abu-l-Khattáb, the ا of رَايَةٌ, though a substitute for the medial radical, [i. e. ى,] being likened by him to the augmentative ا, and therefore the final radical is made ء, like as is done in the case of سِقَاءٌ &c., (M,) A banner, or standard, (T, S, M, Msb, K,) of an army: (Msb:) according to some, (Msb,) originally with ء, [see رَأْيَةٌ, in article رأى,] though pronounced by the Arabs without ء; (T, Msb;) but others deny this, and say that it has not been heard with ء: (Msb:) plural رَايَاتٌ (M, Msb, K) and [coll. gen. n.] رَاىٌ. (M, K.)

Also A قِلَاَدة [apparently here meaning collar]: (K:) or a thing that is put upon the neck (Lth, T, M, K) of a runaway male slave, (M, K.) to show that he is a runaway: it is an iron ring, of the size of the neck. (TA.)

It is also said to be a verbal noun of رَأَى: see this latter word.
