لَأْلَآءٌ , all contr. to analogy [if the radical letters be لألأ], and the last a strange form, mentioned by few authors, and disapproved by most: the regular from would be لُؤْلُئِىٌّ; not لَأّٓءٌ, as J asserts it to be, [unless the radical letters be لأأ], nor لَأّٓلٌ [unless it be from a triliteral root, augmented, and thus rendered a quasi-quadriliteral-radical; (see a remark at the head of this art.; and see حَيَّةٌ;) in which case, either the added letter or the last radical letter may be omitted in the formation of this epithet]: A seller of pearls.
