s-w-t

Description

The Arabic root صوت (s-w-t) carries the core meaning of sound, voice, or audible utterance in the Quran. It appears in contexts distinguishing between different types of sounds, most notably in Luqman's advice that the harshest of sounds is the braying of donkeys, emphasizing the importance of moderation in speech and voice. The root is primarily used to refer to human voices and animal sounds, serving as a means to discuss proper conduct in speech and the acoustic dimensions of communication and prayer.
