ڐيـﮩڙ ḍehuṛ H s. f. A volley, several muskets dis- charged at once. ذ ذ Called ذال معجمه and ذال ثخذ is the ninth letter of the Arabic alphabet. Its existence in Persian, except as a substitute for د (see د), appears very doubtful. It is pronounced by the Arabs like th in the English word thou; but, in Hindūstānī, its sound is not to be dis- tinguished from that of ز z. In denoting num- bers by the letters of the Arabic alphabet, it stands for 700: and, by way of abbreviation, it is written for ذوالحجه the last month of the Arabic lunar year. If ذ be the first radical of an Arabic verb, the ت in the form افتعال is changed into د, and either the د or ذ is changed into the other of the two, which is doubled; as, from ذکر comes اذّکر or ادّکر.
