صوع1 صُعْتُهُ, (O, K,) [from صَاعَهُ,] aor. ـُ (K,) inf. n. صَوْعٌ, (TA,) I measured it with the صَاع [q. v.]. (O, K.) One says, هٰذَا طَعَامٌ يُصَاعُ i. e. [This is wheat] that is measured [with the صاع]. (O.) b2:  And (assumed tropical:)  [I collected it together, like as the measurer collects the corn &c. in the measure: and the contr., i. e.] I dispersed it, or scattered it; (S, O, K;) in which sense it is [said to be] tropical; (TA;) and صِعْتُهُ, aor. ـِ (K in art. صيع,) inf. n. صَيْعٌ, (TA in that art.,) signifies the same.

(TA in art. صيع, from the book entitled “ Ghareeb el-Hamám ” by El-Hasan Ibn-' Abd-Alláh El-Kátib  El-Isbahánee.) صَاعٌ (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K) and ↓ صُوعٌ and ↓ صَوْعٌ (O, K) and ↓ صُوَاعٌ (S, O, K) and ↓ صِوَاعٌ, (O, K,) thus accord. to five different readers of the Kur in xii. 72, (O, K, * TA,) A certain measure used for measuring corn (& c.], (S, O, Msb, K,) and upon which turn [or depend] the decisions of the Muslims [relating to measures of capacity]: (K:) or the صاع is different from the ↓ صُوَاع; (S, K;) the latter being a certain vessel, in [or from] which one drinks [as will be expl. hereafter in this paragraph]: (S, TA:) the former is four أَمْدَاد [pl. of مُدٌّ]; (S, O, Msb, K;) i. e. (Msb) five أَرْطَال [or pints] and a third, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) by the measure of Baghdád; (Msb;) the مُدّ being a pint and a third: (K, TA:) so with the people of El-Hijáz, (Mgh, TA,) [i. e.] so with the people of the Harameyn, as was proved by a number of specimens of the صاع used in dealings with the Prophet, (Msb,) and so accord. to Esh-Sháfi'ee: (TA:) but with the people of El-' Irák it was eight pints, (Mgh, Msb, TA,) with whom agreed Aboo-Haneefeh; the مُدّ with them being two pints; (Msb, TA;) but the addition was made by El-Hajjáj; and their صاع was the قَفِيز حَجَّاجِىّ, and was unknown to the people of El-Medeeneh, as is said by Az: (Msb:) accord. to Ed-Dáwoodee, its invariable measure is four times the quantity [of corn & c.] that fills the two hands, that are neither large nor small, of a man; for the صاع of the Prophet is not found in every place; and this (the author of the K says, TA) I have tried, and found to be correct: (K, TA:) the word is masc. and fem.: (Zj, Msb, K, TA:) accord. to Fr, the people of El-Hijáz make it fem.; and Benoo-Asad, except some of them, make it masc., as do the people of Nejd; and Zj says that the more chaste way is to make it masc.: (Msb:) the pl. (of pauc., used by those who make the sing. fem., O, Msb) is أَصْوُعٌ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) for which one may say أَصْؤُعٌ, (S, O, K, *) changing the و into hemzeh, (S, O,) and accord. to AAF some say آصُعٌ, like آدُرٌ, (Mgh, Msb,) a pl. of دَارٌ, (Mgh,) but AHát says that this is a vulgar mistake, (Msb,) and أَصْوَاعٌ, (O, Msb, K,) which is used by those who make the sing. masc., (O, Msb,) and [of mult.] صُوعٌ, (K,) which is app. pl. of ↓ صِوَاعٌ, with kesr, (TA,) and صِيعَانٌ, (Mgh, O, Msb, K,) which is [likewise] a pl. of mult., (Msb,) or this last is pl. of ↓ صُوَاعٌ: and this sing. signifies a [vessel of the kind called] جَام, [app. here used in the sense which this word commonly has in Pers\., i. e. as meaning a cup,] in which, (K, TA,) or from which, (TA,) one drinks: (K, TA:) Sa'eed  Ibn-Jubeyr says that the صواع of the king [mentioned in the Kur xii. 72] was the Persian مَكُّوك, of which the two extremities [are compressed so that they] meet together [app. in such a manner that the whole vessel resembles a small boat, the word مكّوك being expl. in several dictionaries as applied to a drinking-vessel of this form, probably from the Pers\. مَكُّوكْ signifying “ a shuttle ” and used in this sense in modern Arabic]: El-Hasan  says that the صُوَاع and the سِقَايَة are one thing, as Zj also says; and that the صواع of the king is said to have been of وَرِق [meaning silver], and that they used to measure with it and sometimes they drank with it: Zj says that it is explained as an oblong vessel, resembling the مَكُّوك, with which the king used to drink; and said by some to have been of مِسّ [which (as is said in the TA in art. مس) means copper, from the Pers\. مِسْ]. (TA.) [See also صَوْغٌ, with غ.] b2:  صَاعٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:)  The place [or plot] in which a صاع [of seed] is sown: so in a trad. (TA.) b3:  And (tropical:)  A depressed piece of ground; (S, O, K, TA;) as also ↓ صَاعَةٌ; (O, K, TA;) like an excavation: or, as some say, a depressed place, sloping down from its surrounding borders: (TA:) or a narrow, depressed place. (TA in art. طأ.) b4:  And (assumed tropical:)  A place that is swept and in which one then plays: (Ibn-' Abbád, O, K:) [see the verse cited in what follows:] and ↓ صَاعَةٌ is said to signify a piece of ground which a boy sweeps, removing its pebbles, and in which he plays with the ball: and a bare place, in which is nothing. (TA.) b5:  And The place of the breast of the ostrich when she puts it upon the ground: (K:) or such a place is called صَاعُ جُؤْجُؤِ النَّعَامِ. (IF, O.) And one says, ضَرَبَهُ فِى صَاعِ جُؤُجُؤِهِ and فى صاعِ صَدْرِهِ meaning (tropical:)  He struck him in the middle of his breast. (Z, TA.) A2:  And it is said that] صَاعٌ also signifies The [kind of goffstick called] صَوْلَجَان. (K.) In the following verse of El-Museiyab Ibn-' Alas, describing a she-camel, مَرِحَتْ يَدَاهَا لِلنَّجَآءِ كَأَنَّمَا تَكْرُو بِكَفَّىْ لَاعِبٍ فِى صَاعِ [the most obvious meaning of which is, Her fore legs moved briskly for the purpose of hastening, as though she were propelling a ball with the hands of a player in a piece of ground cleared for that exercise,] or, as some relate it, بِكَفَّىْ مَاقِطٍ, meaning with the hands of a player with the ball, it is said by some that he means بِصَاعٍ, [though it is not easy to see why, if so, he did not say بِالصَّاعِ,] and that by the صاع he means the صَوْلَجَان, because it is bent (يُعْطَفُ [see 1, last sentence,]) for the purpose of striking with it, that the ball may be propelled (تُصَاعُ) with it. (O.) صَوْعٌ and صُوعٌ: see صَاعٌ, first sentence. b2:  The latter is also a pl., (K, TA,) app. of صِوَاعٌ, with kesr. (TA.) صُوَعٌ Portions of herbage beginning to dry up. (Ibn-' Abbád, O, K.) b2:  And of the flesh of a horse, Such as is scattered, or sparse; not collected together in one place. (Ibn-' Abbád, O.) صَاعَةٌ: see صَاعٌ, latter half, in two places. b2: Also (tropical:)  A place prepared by a woman for the separating and loosening of cotton: (Lth, O, K, TA:) and (assumed tropical:)  a skin, like a نِطْع, which a woman sometimes makes, or prepares, for the separating and loosening of cotton and of wool upon it. (ISh, O, TA.) b3:  And (tropical:)  A place specially made, or prepared, for guests. (Z, TA.) صُوَاعٌ and صِوَاعٌ: see صَاعٌ, former half, in five places.أُصَيَّاعٌ occurs as a dim. of صِيعَانٌ [or rather of أَصْوَاعٌ, pl. of صَاعٌ, regularly formed therefrom]. (IB, TA.) مُنْصَاعٌ [part. n. of 7] Turning away or back, retreating, &c. (TA.)
