Full Definition

رُتَّةٌ A vitiousness, or an impediment, in speech or utterance, so that one does not speak distinctly: or a hastiness therein, and a want of distinctness: or the changing of ل into ى: or an impediment in speech or utterance: or, accord. to Mbr, what resembles wind, impeding the commencement of speech, until, when somewhat thereof comes forth, it becomes continuous: it is an inborn habit, and is often found in persons of elevated, or noble, rank: or, as some say, it is a reiterating of a word, preceded by the breath: or the incorporating of one letter into another (إِدْغَامٌ) when this should not be done: or a vitious and faulty kind of repetition, in the tongue.
