أُغْلُوطَةٌ ذ (S, K) and ↓ غَلُوطَةٌ and ↓ مَغْلَطَةٌ (K) A question by which one causes to fall into the making of a mistake: (S:) or كَلَامٌ يُغْلَطُ فِيهِ [which may be rendered both language in which one makes a mistake, and language in which one is caused to fall into a mistake]: (K:) and all, (K.) or the first and second, (TA,) also signify a question by which a person. (K, * TA,) a man of learning, (TA,) is vied, or contended, with, in the endeavour to cause him to make a mistake, (K, TA,) in order that he may become lowered: and by which his judgment, or opinion, is sought to be made erroneous: (TA:) you say, ↓ مَسْأَلَةٌ غَلُوطٌ ; but when you make the latter word a subst., you add the ة: (El-Khattábee:) the pl. of أُغْلُوطَةٌ is أُغْلُوطَاتٌ and أَغَالِيطُ (S) and غَلُوطَاتٌ, which is formed from the first of these pls. by the suppression of the hemzeh, and is not, as some have said, pl. of غَلُوطَةٌ. (Hr.) Mohammad forbade أُغْلُوطَات, (S, TA,) or غَلُوطَات, (TA.) because they are unprofitable with respect to religion, and there is scarely, or never, in them aught save what is unprofitable. (El-'Otbee, TA.)
