خَفْتٌ خاف خف خفى خفت خفتت (S) and ↓ خُفَاتٌ , (A,) applied to speech, (S, A,) Uttered with a low, or suppressed, voice. (S, * A.) [See also خَافِتٌ.] -A2- The former is also syn. with خَبْتٌ [A low, or depressed, tract of ground: &c.]. (K. [So accord. to my MS. copy of the K, and accord. to the TA: but in the CK this signification is omitted; for instead of والخَبْتُ وَبِالضَّمِّ السَّذَابُ, we find وَالخَفْتُ بِالفَتْحِ وَبِالضَّمِّ السَّذَابُ, meaning that حَفْتٌ and خُفْتٌ signify the same as سَذَابٌ.])
