سُدْلٌ ذ and ↓ سِدْلٌ [the former written in a copy of the M سَدْل, but said in the K to be with damm,] A veil, or curtain: pl. [of mult.] سُدُولٌ and [of pauc.] أَسْدَالٌ (M, K) and أَسْدُلٌ. (K.) In a verse of Homeyd Ibn-Thowr, as it is related by Yaakoob, السُّدُول is used as a sing., because it is of a measure which is [in some instances] that of a sing., such as السُّدُوس, meaning a sort of garment: but others relate it differently, saying السَّدِيل, which is correctly a sing. (M.) [See also سِدْنٌ.]
