جَرَسٌ A sound: or a low, faint, gentle, slight, or soft, sound: such, for instance, as the sound of the beaks of birds, pecking, upon a thing which they are eating: and that of bees eating flowers or blossoms: and of a tribe [or crowd of men, more particularly as heard from some distance; i. e., a hum]: and of a camel-driver singing to his beasts to urge or excite them: and the slight sound of a letter of the alphabet: and low, gentle, or soft, speech: or when the word is used alone, [i. e., not coupled with another noun as it is in the second of the two examples here following,] it is with fet-h: thus one says, مَا سَمِعْتُ لَهُ جَرْسًا; i. e., I heard not any sound of him, or it: but you say, مَا سَمِعْتُ لَهُ حِسًّا وَلَا , with kesr; i. e., I heard not any motion, nor any sound, of him, or it: (TA in art. حس:) pl. [app. of the third] أَجْرَاسٌ. [See also جَرْشٌ.]
