خَوَاتٌ خوات The sound made by the motion of the wings of an eagle. (S, K. [In a copy of the S, I find it said that this word is fem., though its meaning is masc.; and the same is said in the TA, doubtless from another copy of the S; but this observation, which is omitted in one copy of the S in my possession, applies to خَوَاةٌ, mentioned in art. خوى in the S, as meaning صَوْتٌ.]) And A sound [absolutely]; (K;) as also ↓ خَوَاتَهُ : (TA:) or the sound, or noise, of thunder, and of a torrent, or flow of water. (AHn, K.) A poet says, “ فَلَاحِسَّ إِِلَّا خَوَاتُ السُّيُولِ
” [And there was no sound but the noise of the torrents]; (AHn, TA;) which shows that we should read in the K وَالسَّيْلِ; not والسيلُ, as in some copies. (TA.)
