Full Definition

بَاكٍ part. n. of بَكَى [i. e. Weeping, &c.]: pl. بُكِىٌّ, of the measure فُعُولٌ, with the و changed into ى [and the second dammeh consequently into a kesreh, wherefore it is also, sometimes, pronounced بِكِىٌّ], and بُكَاةٌ, which is agreeable with analogy and usage, though said by Es-Semeen to have not been heard. [The pl. of the fem., i. e. of بَاكِيَةٌ, is بَاكِيَاتٌ and بَوَاكٍ.]
