s. A grave, pit.

The fifteenth letter of the Turkish and Persian alphabets, and twelfth of the Arabic. Its unvarying phonetic value is that of the letter s, as in sent. Being a soft consonant, it is always when movent pronounced with one of the soft vowels. Its full name is سین مهملە sîn-i mühmele the undotted س. It is also called سین سعفص sîn-i sa’fes the س of the word سعفس sa’fes (in the ابجد formula).In chronograms aud astronomical tables this letter has the numerical value of 60.When the letter س is followed by a letter ح or a letter ه, care should he taken to give to each letter its full phonetic value; as اسهام es-hâm, تسهیل tes-hîl, etc.The س is reduplicated in pronunciation instead of the ل of the Arabic definite article ال , when it follows this article as the initial of the noun; as, السحر علی ale’s-sehar.The letter س like ش, is often printed, and much more generally-written in Turkish, without the serrations of its head.Formerly many Turkish words were written with س where ص is now generally used. If a word beginning with س be met with which is not found in its alphabetical place in this lexicon, it must be sought under the letter ص.In Turkish, the only grammatical or derivative uses of the letter س, are to form, followed by a vowel letter ا or ی, and added to any adjective, a verb of feeling or deeming, and rarely, followed by a consonant ر, but preceded by a long vowel letter ی, an active future participle of duty or necessity. Thus, from بیوك is formed the verb بیوكسیمك to deem large, great, or grand, from كلمك, the participle كلیسر who is to come, who ought to come.In dates of letters and documents, the letter س stands for ش, and indicates the month شعبان.
