سُلْتٌ

A species of شَعِير [or barley], (Lth, S, M, Mgh, Msb, K,) having no hush, (Lth, S, Mgh, Msb,) أَجْرَدُ [which may mean either beardless or smooth], (Lth,) [in appearance] as though it were wheat, (S,) growing in El-Ghowr and El- Hijáz; (Mgh, Msb;) the سَوِيق [or meal of the parched grain] whereof is employed as a cooling diet in the صَيْف [or summer]: (TA:) or i. q. شَعِير [i. e. the common barley]; (M, K;) as some say: (M:) or the sour (حَامِض) sort of شعير: (M, K:) or a white شعير, without husk: or, as some say, a species of wheat; but the explanation next preceding this last is the more correct, for البَيْضَاءُ and السُّلْتُ are mentioned in a tradition as distinct, each from the other, and by the former is meant wheat: (TA:) or a species of شعير with a thin husk and small grain: (IF, Msb:) or a grain between wheat and barley (شعير), not having a husk like that of the latter, and thus being like wheat in smoothness, and like barley (شعير) in its nature, or quality, and in its coolness: (Az, Msb:) according to Es-Seydelánee, like barley (شعير) in its form, and like wheat in its nature, or quality; but this is a mistake: (Ibn-Es-Saláh, Msb:) [gymnocrithon (i. e. hordeum nudym) of Galen: tragus of Diosc.
