كَلَامٌ is a gen. n., applying to little and to much, or to few or many; (S, TA;) to what is a sing. and to what is a pl. (TA.) It may therefore be rendered A saying, &c.; and sayings, or words: see an ex. voce أَفْكَلُ , in art. فكل . ― -b2- كَلَامٌ Speech; something spoken; [diction; language;] parlance; talk; discourse: (Msb, &c.:) a saying: a say: something said: in grammar, a sentence. الكَلِمُ الطَّيِّبُ : see طَيِّتٌ . ― -b3- كَلَامٌ : also, a quasi-inf. n. for تكليم , sometimes governing as a verb, [like the inf. n.,] accord. to some of the grammarians; as in the following ex.: قالوا كلامك هنداً وهى مصغية يشفيك قلت صحيح ذاك لو كانا (Sharh Shudhoor edh-Dhahab.) See اـِسْمُ مَصْدَرٍ . ― -b4- عِلْمُ الكَلَامِ [The theology of the Muslims;] a science in which one investigates the being and attributes of God, and the conditions of possible things with respect to creation and restitution, according to the rule of El-Islám; which last restriction is for the exclusion of the theology of the philosophers. (KT.)
