صَرَارِىٌّ

Root: صر

Full Definition

صَرَارِىٌّ A sailor: like صَارٍ: pl. صَرَارِيُّونَ: it has no broken pl.: or صَرّارِىّ should be [without tenween, imperfectly decl., and] mentioned in art. صرى; for it is pl. of صُرَّآءٌ, which is pl. of صَارٍ, which J has mentioned in art. صرى: AHát used to say that صُرَّآءٌ is a sing., like حُسَّانٌ; but without sufficient authority: and J has regarded صَرَارِىّ as a sing. in consequence of his finding it to have the same construction as a sing, in verses of Arabs; whence he imagined the ى in it to be the relative ى, as is shown by his mentioning the word in this place.
