, aorist يَسَالُ, (Akh, and S, M, Msb, K, all in article سأل,) like خَافَ, aorist يَخَافُ, (Msb and K ibid.,) first pers. pret. سِلْتُ, [like خِفْتُ,] (Sb, M in the present article, [in the K in this article, erroneously, سَلْتُ,]) and aorist أَسَالُ, (Sb, M and K in this article,) imperative سَلْ, (S, Msb, K, TA, all in article سأل,) dual سَلَا, and plural سَلُوا, these two being irregular, (Msb in that article,) verbal noun سُوَالٌ, (M and K in the present article,) mentioned by Sb and by Th, (M ibid.,) and سِوَالٌ, (M and K ibid.,) mentioned by Th, (M ibid.,) i. q.

(TA in article سأل.) [For the pass. (سِيلَ &c.), see سَأَلَ.] A certain elegant scholar says,
i. e. [Hudheyl] asked of the Apostle of God as a thing wished for [something beyond measure evil]: it is not from سَأَلَ, [i. e. it is originally سَوِلَ, not formed from سَأَلَ by the substitution of ا for أ,] as many of the elegant scholars say.

سَوْلَة, (TA,) signifies flaccidity, or uncompactness, or pendulousness, (S, K, TA,) of the belly, (K,) and so
تَسَوُّلٌ and تَسَوُّنٌ, (TA,) or of the part of the belly below the navel; (S, TA;) and of other things, (K, TA,) as, for instance, (TA,) of a cloud also. (S, TA.)
