muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُmaṣdarسُكُوتٌ سَكْتٌ

Core sense — he was, or became, silent; it became still, or quiet; he diedgenerated

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredhe (a man) ceased, or stopped, speaking—سَكَتَ

He was, or became, silent, mute, or speechless; the opposite of نَطَقَ, and the same as صَمَتَ.; maṣdar سُكُوتٌ, سَكْتٌ, سُكَاتٌ and سَاكُوتَةٌ — the K says these all mean the same, but not exactly so, since the last is of an intensive form.

Er-Rāghib: سَكَتَ is said of one who has the power of speech but does not use it, while صَمَتَ is sometimes said of what has no power of speech.

.

he (a man) was, or became, still, or quiet—سَكَتَ

the same as سَكَنَ.

اسكت is also said to be synonymous with صَمَتَ, like سَكَتَ.

AZ: of a man one says صَمَتَ, أَصَمَتَ, سَكَتَ and أَسْكَتَ.

Or, as some say, اسكت means he was, or became, silent, or he did not speak; and also he ceased from speech, broke off from it, or was cut short in it.

Or سَكَتَ means he was, or became, silent on purpose, while اسكت means he was, or became, silent because of thought, or disease, or fear.

Or you say تَكَلَّمَ ثُمَّ سَكَتَ, without ا, when you mean he spoke and then became silent, that is, on purpose; but you say اسكت when you mean his speech was broken off, or cut short, so that he did not speak.

he held his tongue from a thousand words, and then said what was wrong—سَكَتَ أَلْفًا ونَطَقَ خَلْفًا

A proverb; سَكَتَ عَنْ أَلْفِ كَلِمَةٍ is the thousand words. Mentioned by ISk in the article خلف.

this is the هاء of pausation—هٰذِهِ هَآءُ السَّكْتِ

Said of the sākin ه that is sometimes added at the end of a word, after a vowel or a letter of prolongation, as in لَمْ يَرْضَهْ and وَا زَيْدَاهْ.

she uttered no grumbling cry when the saddle was put on her—سَكَتَتْ

Said of a she-camel; the grumbling cry is termed رُغَآء.

1.1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredit became still, quiet, motionless, at rest; it was calmed or allayed; it remitted; it subsided—سَكَتَ

Muḍāriʿ as above, used as synonymous with سَكَنَ in the sense explained above, and also in this sense; اسكت is used in the same way.

he beat him until his motion was stilled—ضَرَبَهُ حَتَّى سَكَتَتْ حَرَكَتُهُ

Also said as أَسْكَتَتْ حركته.

he beat him until he became still—حتّى أَسْكَتَ
the anger remitted, or became stilled and allayed—سَكَتَ الغَضَبُ

The same as سَكَنَ, that is, فَتَرَ; likewise اسكت and سَكَتَ عَنْهُ الغَضَبُ: anger, or the anger, became stilled so that it left him.

and when the anger became stilled so that it left Moses—وَلَمَّا سَكَتَ عَنْ مُوسَى الغَضَبُ

Qur'ān 7:153. Zj explains it as سَكَنَ. Some say the phrase is inverted, the meaning being وَلَمَّا سَكَتَ مُوسَى عَنِ الغَضَبِ, that is, and when Moses was silent, ceasing from anger; but the first is the explanation of those skilled in the Arabic language.

the heat became violent, or intense, the wind being still—سَكَتَ الحَرُّ
1.1.2figurative · مجاز — inferred

And hence: he died. It occurs in this sense in a tradition.

1.1.3

سَاكَتَنِى فَسَكَتُّ: see form 3.

1.2he came in tenth in a race—سَكَتَ

Said of a horse; from السُّكَيْتُ.

Core sense — a man constantly silent; one who speaks little but speaks wellgenerated

1a man constantly, or often, silent, restraining himself from speech—سَكْتٌ

This word, and سَاكُوتٌ, سَكُوتٌ, سُكَيْتٌ, سُكَّيْتٌ, سِكْتِيتٌ and سَاكُوتَةٌ, all have this meaning: a man constantly, or continually, silent, or much or often silent, restraining himself from speech. They are all intensive adjectives, the last doubly so.

This last is originally a maṣdar, and so is used as an intensive adjective, like عَدْلٌ and others.

a man who speaks little, but not from any inability to express what he would say, and who speaks well when he does speak—سَاكُوتٌ
