[In the Ḳur xii. 72,] some read نَفْقِدُ صَوْغَ المَلِكِ [meaning We miss, or see not, or find not, the King's molten vessel, or vessel made of melted metal]: in this instance, صَوْغ is an inf. n. (O, Ḳ, TA) used as a subst., (O, TA,) in the sense ofالمَصُوغ↓, which means مَاصِيغَ [i. e. the thing that has been melted, and poured forth into a mould;, &c.]; likeالمُصَاغُ↓ [a pass. part. n. of a verb which is not mentioned]: (TA:) it is like ضَرْب in the phrase هٰذَا دِرْهَمٌ ضَرْبُ الأَمِيرِ, (O, Ḳ,* TA,) meaning مَضْرُوبُهُ: (O, TA:) and Er-Rághib says that it [i. e. the vessel thus termed] is held to have been made of molten gold: (TA:) some read [in the Ḳur xii. 72] صُوَاغ↓, as though this also were [originally] an inf. n. (O, Ḳ, TA) from صَاغَ, (O, TA,) like بُوَالٌ and قُوَامٌ (O, Ḳ, TA) from بَالَ and قَامَ. (O, TA.) [See also صَاعٌ, with the unpointed ع.]

One says also, هٰذَا صَوْغُ هٰذَا This is of the measure of this; or is the like in measure of this: [as though of the make, form, fashion, mould, or cast, of this: (see also صِيغَةٌ:)] (Ṣ, O, Mṣb:) and هٰذَا المَآءُ صَوْغُ الإِنَآءِ This water is of the measure of the vessel; or is the like in measure of the vessel: and everything that is the like in measure of another thing is said to be صَوْغُهُ. (O.)

And هُمَا صَوْغَانِ They two are likes: (Ṣ, O, Ḳ:) or they two are coëtaneans; syn. لِدَةٌ [which is properly a sing., though here used as a dual]. (IDrd, O, Ḳ.)

(TA voce سَوْغٌ.)

صِيغَةٌ is originally صِوْغَةٌ, (Ṣ, O, Mṣb,) the و being changed into ى because of the kesreh before it: (Ṣ O:) it is like قِيمَةٌ. (Mṣb.) [Its primary signification is A mode, or manner, of صَوْغ i. e. melting, and pouring forth into a mould;, &c.: and hence it signifies a make, form, fashion, mould, or cast:] and it is syn. with صِيَاغَةٌ, q. v.: (TA:) and signifies the making [a thing]; and making according to a certain measure or proportion [and the like]. (Mṣb.) One says سِهَامٌ صِيغَةٌ (Ṣ, O, Ḳ) Arrows [one in make;] uniform; (TA;) of the make of one man. (Ṣ, O, Ḳ,* TA.) And صِيغَةُ ٱللّٰهِ, meaning † The creation of God. (Mṣb.) And هُوَ حَسَنُ الصِّيغَةِ ‡ He is goodly in respect of make and of stature: or this means هُوَ حَسَنُ العَمَلِ [which may in this case be correctly rendered he is goodly in respect of make: and also he is good in respect of work].

(TA.)

صَائِغٌ andصَوَّاغٌ↓ (Ṣ, MA, O, Mṣb, Ḳ, KL) andصَيَّاغٌ↓, (Ṣ, O, Ḳ, KL,) the last of the dial. of El-Ḥijáz, (Ṣ, O,) originally صَيْوَاغٌ, (IJ, O, TA,) thus altered by some, from صَيْوَاغٌ to صَيَّاغٌ, because of their disliking the double و, (IJ, TA,) One who practises, or performs, the craft, art, work, or operation, termed صِيَاغَة [or melting gold, &c., and pouring it forth into a mould;, &c.; as expl. in the first sentence of this art.]; (Ṣ, O, Mṣb, Ḳ, TA;) [generally meaning] a goldsmith, or worker in gold: (MA, KL:) the pl. of صَائِغٌ is صَاغَةٌ [originally صَوَغَةٌ] and صُوَّاغٌ and صُيَّاغٌ. (TA.) One says,هُوَ صَوَّاغُ↓ الحُلِىِّ [and صَائِغُهَا i. e. He is the moulder of ornaments, or of women's ornaments, of gold or of silver, &c.]. (TA.) [And hence مِلْحُ الصَّاغَةِ lit. Goldsmiths' salt; meaning chrysocolla, i. e. borax: thus termed in the language of the present day.] Aboo-Ráfi' the صَائِغ is related to have said, كَانَ عُمَرُ يُمَازِحُنِى يَقُولُ أَكْذَبُ النَّاسِ الصَّوَّاغُ↓ يَقُولُ اليَوْمَ وَغَدًا [ʼOmar used to jest with me, saying, The most lying of men is the goldsmith, who says, To-day, and Tomorrow]. (TA.) Andكَذِبَةٌ كَذَبَهَا الصَّوَّاغُونَ↓ [lit. A lie which the goldsmiths have told] is a saying (of Aboo-Hureyreh, O) occurring in a trad. (Ṣ, O.)
