[See اِسْت below.]) b2: And, (K,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He followed him from behind, (K, TA,) not quitting him; because following his اِسْت. (TA.) 4 أُسْتِهَ He (a man) was, or became, large in the buttocks. (TA.) سَتْهٌ and سُتْهٌ: see اِسْتٌ, below.

سِتْهٌ: see اِسْتٌ, below, in two places.

سَتَهٌ: see اِسْتٌ, below, in two places.

A2: Also Largeness of the اِسْت. (S, K.) سَتِهٌ; and its fem., with ة: see أَسْتَهُ, in two places: and see what next follows.

سَتَهِىٌّ Of, or relating to, the اِسْت; and in the same sense, if you will, you may say ↓ اِسْتِىٌّ; and ↓ سَتِهٌ also, with kesr to the ت, like as they said حَرِحٌ. (S.) سُتْهُمٌ: see أَسْتَهُ, in three places.

سُتَيْهَةٌ dim. of اِسْتٌ, from the original of the latter, i. e. سَتَهٌ. (TA.) سُتَاهِىٌّ: see أَسْتَهُ, in two places.

سُتَيْهِىٌّ: see what next follows.

سَيْتَهِىٌّ, thus correctly, in the handwriting of Sgh, on the authority of Fr; in the K, ↓ سُتَيْهِىٌّ; (TA;) One who always walks, or goes, at the rear of a people, or party, (IB, K, TA,) remaining behind them, and looking to their goods. (IB, TA.) اِسْتٌ (S, Mgh, K, written with the conjunctive hemzeh, Msb in art. است) and ↓ سَتَهٌ (S Mgh, K) and ↓ سَتْهٌ (K) and ↓ سِتْهٌ (CK [but not in my MS. copy of the K nor in the TA, and of doubtful authority, as will be seen from what follows,]) signify the same, (S, * Mgh, * K,) i. e. The podex, buttock or buttocks, posteriors, rump, or croup; and sometimes the anus; (S;) ↓ سَتَهٌ being the original form, as is shown by the pl., (S, Mgh,) which is أَسْتَاهٌ; (S, Mgh, K;) like جَمَلٌ and أَجْمَالٌ: it may not be [↓ سِتْهٌ and ↓ سُتْهٌ] like جِذْعٌ and قُفْلٌ, of which the pls. are also of the measure أَفْعَالٌ, because, when you restore the ء which is the final radical, and reject the medial radical [which is ت], you say سَهٌ, with fet-h, (S, Mgh, *) which has both of the meanings expl. above, as also سُهٌ, (K,) but [SM says,] this last, mentioned by the author of the K, is strange, and I have not seen it on the authority of any one [else]: (TA:) and some say سَتٌ, (IKh, S, Mgh, TA,) suppressing the final radical [of سَتَهٌ], (S,) i. e., without ه at the end and without hemzeh [or ا] at the beginning.

(Mgh.) And يَا ابْنَ اسْتِهَا (tropical:) [O son of her است], (K, TA,) a prov. of the Arabs, (TA,) is an allusion to one's father's إِحْمَاض [see 2 in art. حمض] of the former's mother; (Z, TA;) and is said to mean أَنَّهُ وُلِدَ مِنِ اسْتِهَا: (TA:) and the Arabs called the sons of the female slave بَنُو اسْتِهَا. (Sh, TA.) And one says to a man who is deemed abject and weak, اِسْتُ أُمِّكَ أَضْيَقُ [lit. Thy mother's است is too contracted], and اِسْتُكَ أَضْيَقُ مِنْ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا وَ كَذَا [Thine است is too contracted, meaning (assumed tropical:) thine ability is too small, for thy doing such and such things]: (TA: [see also Freytag's Arab.

مَكَانُ القُرَادِ مِنِ اسْتِ الجَمَلْ (tropical:) [And thou, thy place in the tribe of Wáïl is like the place of the tick in the rump of the camel,] is tropical; for they do not [properly] say اِسْتُ الجَمَلِ, but عَجُزُ الجَمَلِ. (S.) One says also to a man who is deemed low, or base, أَنْتَ الاِسْتُ السُّفْلَى, (TA,) and انت السبَّهُ السُّفْلَى, meaning (assumed tropical:) Thou art among others in the condition of the است of mankind: (S, TA:) and of low, or base, men, one says, هٰؤُلَآءِ الأَسْتَاهُ; and of such as are excellent, هٰؤُلَآءِ الأَعْيَانُ, and الوُجُوهُ. (TA.) And one says, لَقِيتُ مِنْهُ اسْتَ الكَلْبَةِ, (A, K,) a prov., (TA,) meaning (assumed tropical:) I experienced from him, or it, what I disliked, or hated. (A, K, TA. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov., ii. 445.]) And اِسْتُ البَائِنِ أَعْرَفُ, or أَعْلَمُ: see art. بين.

(TA.) And كَانَ ذٰلِكَ عَلَى اسْتِ الدَّهْرِ (tropical:) That was in the beginning of time: (A, K, TA:) or in the olden time; (AO, S, TA;) as also عَلَى إِسِّ الدَّهْرِ. (AO, TA.) See also art. است.

[And see other exs. in Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 355 and 378 (a variation of a prov. mentioned in the preceding page) and 607 and 622 and 729-730.]

(M, * TA.) You say of a she-camel, تَزْبِنُ حَالِبَهَا She pushes, or thrusts, or she pushes, or thrusts, away, her milker. (Mgh, Msb, TA.) And زَبَنَتْ, (S,) or زَبَنَتْ بِثَفِنَاتِ رِجْلِهَا, (TA,) She (a camel) struck with her stifle-joints (TA) on the occasion of being milked: زَبْنٌ being [generally] with the stifle-joints; and رَكْضٌ, with the hind leg; and خَبْطٌ, with the fore leg.

(S, TA.) b2: and زَبَنْتَ عَنَّا هَدِيَّتَكَ وَمَعْرُوفَكَ, inf. n. as above, (assumed tropical:) Thou hast turned away from us thy present and thy bounty, or favour: accord. to Lh, properly meaning thou hast turned them away from thy neighbours and acquaintance to others: or, accord. to the A, (tropical:) thou hast withdrawn, and withheld, from us thy present &c. (TA.) b3: زَبْنٌ also signifies The selling any fruit upon its trees for [other] fruit by measure: (K:) whence ↓ المُزَابَنَةُ (see 3): it has been forbidden, because of the fraud, or deceit, and the ignorance, attending it: and is thus termed because either of the two parties, when he repents, repels the other [if able to do so] from the obligation that he has imposed upon him. (TA.) 3 زابنهُ, (K,) inf. n. مُزَابَنَهٌ, (TA,) i. q. دَافَعَهُ [He contended, or strove, with him in pushing, or thrusting, or in pushing, or thrusting, away; or he pushed him, &c., being pushed &c. by him; or he pushed against him].

(TA.) 4 ازبنوا بُيُوتَهُمْ They removed their tents from the road, or way.

(K.) 10 استزبنهُ He made him a زَبُون; [i. e. treated him as such;] meaning a simpleton, or fool; one much, or often, endamaged, or overreached, defrauded, or deceived; as also ↓ تزبّنهُ: (Mgh:) or استزبنهُ and ↓ تزبّنهُ are like اِسْتَغْبَنَهُ and تَغَبَّنَهُ [both app. meaning he esteemed him غَبِين, i. e. weak in judgment, and therefore liable to be endamaged, or overreached, defrauded, or deceived; like as استضعفــهُ and تضعّفهُ both signify “ he esteemed him ضَعِيف, i. e. weak ”]; or like اِسْتَغْبَاهُ and تَغَبَّاهُ [both app. meaning he esteemed him unintelligent, or one having little intelligence].

A2: Also A want, or thing wanted: you say, قَدْ أَخَذَ زِبْنَهُ مِنَ المَالِ, i. e. [He has taken] what he wanted [of the property], (K,) and مِنَ الطَّعَامِ [of the food]. (TA.) زَبَنٌ A side; a lateral, or an adjacent, part or tract or quarter: (K:) [and so, app., ↓ زَبْنٌ and ↓ زِبْنٌ: for] you say, حَلَّ زَبْنًا مِنْ قَوْمِهِ, with fet-h, [as well as زَبَنًا, with two fet-hahs,] and زِبْنًا, with kesr, meaning He alighted aside, or apart, from his people, or party; as though he were thrust from their place: scarcely ever, or never, used otherwise than as an adv. n. [of place] or as a denotative of state. (TA.) A2: Also A piece of cloth [shaped] after the fashion of the tent (عَلَى

تَقْطِيعِ البَيْتِ), like the حَجَلَة [a kind of curtained canopy prepared for a bride]. (K.) زَبِنٌ, (K, TA,) like كَتِفٌ, (TA, [الزَّبْنٌ in the CK being a mistranscription for الزَّبِنُ,]) Vehement in pushing, or thrusting; and so ↓ زُبُنٌّ. (K, * TA.) زِبْنِيَةٌ: see زَبَانِيَةٌ.

زِبْنِىٌّ: see زَبَانِيَةٌ.

زُبُنٌّ: see زَبِنٌ.

زُبُنَّةٌ The hind leg of a she-camel: (TA:) the hind legs of the she-camel are called زُبُنَّتَاهَا (K, TA) because she pushes, or thrusts, with them. (TA.) زَبُونٌ One who pushes, or thrusts, or who pushes, or thrusts, away, [or who pushes &c. much or vehemently, or who is wont to push &c.,] a thing. (Msb.) A she-camel that pushes, or thrusts, or that pushes, or thrusts, away, (Mgh, Msb, K,) or that kicks, or strikes, and pushes, &c., (S, TA,) her milker, (S, Mgh, Msb, K, *) with her hind leg (Msb) [or with her stifle-joint: see 1]: or that is wont, or accustomed, to push, &c., her milker. (TA.) Hence, (A,) one says حَرْبٌ زَبُونٌ (S, A, Msb, K) meaning (tropical:) A difficult, or stubborn, war or battle; likened to the she-camel termed زبون: (A, TA:) or that dashes men [one against another], and pushes, or thrusts, them: (S:) or in which one portion pushes, or thrusts, or pushes or thrusts away, another, by reason of multitudinousness: (K:) or it is thus called because it repels the valiant men from advancing, through fear of death. (Msb.) b2: As meaning غَبِىٌّ [i. e. (assumed tropical:) Unintelligent, or having little intelligence], and حَرِيفٌ [syn. with مُعَامِلٌ, and hence, as will be seen from what follows, app. here used in the sense of (assumed tropical:) a dealer with others in buying and selling, a meaning which مُعَامِلٌ often has, though, as I have shown in art. حَرف, I do not know any authority for assigning this meaning to حَرِيفٌ], (S, K, [the latter explanation thus written in my copies of the S and in my MS. copy of the K and in the CK, but in the TA, and hence in the TK, خريف, which has no meaning, that I know of, appropriate in this instance,]) it is post-classical, (K,) not of the language of the people of the desert: (S:) it signifies (tropical:) a simpleton, or fool, who is endamaged, or defrauded, (يُغْبَنُ,) much; by a tropical attribution [of the meaning of a pass. part. n. to a word which has properly the meaning of an act. part. n.; because the person thus termed is as though he were pushed, or thrust, away]: (Mgh:) it signifies also (assumed tropical:) a purchaser; because he pushes away another from the thing that is sold; [or because he is often duped;] and in this sense, [a sense in which it is commonly now used, or as meaning a customer, and also a dupe,] it is a post-classical word, not of the language of the people of the desert. (Msb.) [The pl. now commonly used is زَبَائِنُ, and some say زَبُونَاتٌ.] It is said in a post-classical prov., الزَّبُونُ يَفْرَحُ بِلَا شَىْءٍ [which I would render (assumed tropical:) The dupe rejoices without anything, or at nothing]: (Meyd:) or الزَّبُونُ يَفْرَحُ بِأَدْنَى شَىْءٍ, meaning [(assumed tropical:) The dupe rejoices at the least, or the meanest, thing: or] the dealer (المُعَامِلُ), or the purchaser (المُشْتَرِى), as the word signifies in the dial. the people of El-Basrah. (Har p. 76, q. v. [The editors of the sec. ed. of De Sacy's Har, to which reference is here made, say, (Notes, p. 90,) “ Nous pensons que le mot الزبون, dans l'acception qu'il prend dans ce proverbe dérive du chaldéen זַבֵּן 'vendre.'” (This verb is written in the Lex. of Gesenius זְבַן.) See also De Sacy's Chrest. Arabe, sec. ed., pp. 186 — 190.]

A2: Also A well in which is a receding in its مَثَابَة [or place where the water collects, or place reached by the water when it returns and collects after one has drawn from it, &c.; (see art. ثوب;) as though its casing were pushed back in that part]. (K.) A3: And [An inner vest; so in the present day; pl. أَزْبِنَةٌ;] a thing that is cut so as to fit the body, and worn. (TA.) زُبَانَى is the sing. of which زُبَانَيَانِ is the dual. (Mz, 40th نوع.) زُبَانَى العَقْرَبِ signifies The horn [or claw] of the scorpion: (Msb:) its two horns [or claws] are called زُبَانَيَا العَقْرَبِ; (S, K;) because it pushes with them. (TA.) b2: and الزُّبَانَيَانِ, (Ibn-Kunáseh, S, Kzw,) or زُبَانَيَا العَقْرَبِ, (K,) [the former the more common,] (assumed tropical:) The two horns [or claws] of Scorpio; [which, like the constellation Leo, the Arabs extended much beyond the limits that we assign to it, and which they thus made to include a portion of Libra;] (Kzw;) two stars, widely separated, (Ibn-Kunáseh, Kzw,) [that rise] before الإِكْلِيل [q. v.]; (Ibn-Kunáseh;) between which (Ibn-Kunáseh, Kzw) is the measure of a spear (رُمْح [q. v.]), more than the stature of a man, (Ibn-Kunáseh,) [or,] in appearance, the measure of five cubits: (Kzw:) two bright stars, (S, K,) in, or upon, (K,) the two horns [or claws] of Scorpio: (S, K:) [a and g of Libra, accord. to those who make النَّوْء to mean “ the auroral setting; ” and perhaps the same, or α and β of Libra, accord to those who make النَّوْء to mean “ the auroral rising: ”] one of the Mansions of the Moon, (S, Kzw,) namely, the Sixteenth Mansion. (Kzw. [See مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ, in art. نزل.]) The saying عَضَّ بِأَطْرَافِ الزُّبَانَى قَمَرُهْ [lit. His moon bit the extremities of the claw of Scorpio], cited by IAar, is expl. as meaning “ he is uncircumcised, except the part from which the قَمَر has contracted; ” his قُلْفَة being likened to the زُبَانَى [and his كَمَرَة to the قَمَر]: and he is related to have said that he who is born when the moon is in Scorpio is unprosperous: but Th says, I asked him respecting this saying, and he disallowed it, and said, No, but he is a low, or mean, or sordid, person, who does not give food in winter; and when the moon [in winter] bites the extremities of the زُبَانَى, [i. e. enters Scorpio,] it is most intense cold. (TA.) A2: See also زَبَانِيَةٌ.

زَبَانٍ: see the next paragraph.

زَبَانِيَةٌ is a pl., of which the sing. is ↓ زِبْنِيَةٌ, (Akh, Zj, S, K,) as some say, or ↓ زَبَانٍ, (Akh, S,) or ↓ زُبَانَى, like سُكَارَى, (TA,) or ↓ زَابِنٌ, (Akh, S,) or ↓ رِبْنِىٌّ, (Ks, K,) the pl. of this last being originally زَبَانِىُّ, the ة [in زَبَانِيَةٌ] being substituted for the [last] ى: (Bd in xcvi. 18:) but the Arabs hardly, or in nowise, know this [attribution of a sing. to زَبَانِيَةٌ], holding it to be a pl. having no sing., like أَبَابِيلُ and عَبَادِيدُ. (Akh, S.) With the Arabs [of the classical age] it signifies The شُرَط [app. in the earlier sense of the braves of an army, or in the later sense of the armed attendants, officers, or soldiers, of the prefect of the police]: (S:) this is the primary signification: (Bd in xcvi. 18:) the sing. being syn. with شُرْطِىٌّ: and also signifying the مُتَمَرِّد [i. e. one who exalts himself, or is insolent and audacious, in pride and in acts of rebellion or disobedience, &c.,] of the jinn, or genii, and of mankind: (K:) and i. q. شَدِيدٌ [i. e. strong, &c.]: (Secr, K:) each of these two significations [and the first also] being from the meaning of “ pushing,” or “ thrusting. ” (TA.) b2: الزَّبَانِيَةُ signifies also Certain angels, [the tormentors of the damned in Hell,] so called because of their thrusting the people of the fire thereto; (Katádeh, S, Msb; *) the angels mentioned in the Kur [lxvi. 6] as غِلَاظٌ شِدَادٌ, (Zj,) i. e. rough in speech or in disposition, strong in deeds or in make. (Bd.) زَبَّانٌ is said by Freytag to signify a foot (“ pes ”), as on the authority of J; as though he had found it expl. by the word رِجْل: but this is a mistake: it is said in the S that زَبَّانٌ is the name of a man (اِسْمُ رَجُلٍ).]

زِبِّينٌ One striving to suppress the urine and ordure: (K, * TA: [the word, with the article ال, is expl. by مُدَافِعُ الأَخْبَثَيْنِ: see 3 in art. دفع, and see also أَخْبَثُ:]) such is said in a trad. to be one of those from whom prayer will not be accepted; or, as some relate it, it is the زِنِّين, with ن [in the place of the ب]: (TA:) or it means one withholding them against his will. (K.) b2: One says also, مَا بِهَا زِبِّينٌ, meaning There is not in it [i. e. the house, الدَّار,] any one: so says Aboo-Shubrumeh. (TA.) زَبُّونَةٌ Pride; syn. كِبْرٌ. (S.) b2: And [hence, probably,] رَجُلٌ ذُو زَبُّونَةٍ i. q. مَانِعٌ جَانِبَهُ [app. meaning A man who defends his honour, or reputation: see جَانِبٌ]: (S, TA:) or a man who defends what is behind his back (مَا وَرَآءَ ظَهْرِهِ [perhaps meaning his household: see ظَهْرٌ]). (TA, and so in a copy of the S.) A2: Also, and ↓ زُبُّونَةٌ, The neck; (IAar, K;) as in the saying خُذْ بِقُرُونِهِ وَبِزَبُّونَتِهِ [Take thou hold of his horns and his neck]: (IAar, TA:) or زَبُّونَةٌ may signify the ear; and the pl. زَبُّونَاتٌ, the head and neck of a horse, by a metonymy, because the ears are therein. (Ham p. 58, q. v.) زُبُّونَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

زَابِنٌ: see زَبَانِيَةٌ, first sentence.

زَابِنَةٌ An [eminence such as is termed] أَكَمَة, (K, TA,) raised high (TA) in a valley that bends, or turns, from it; (K, TA;) as though it pushed it, or thrust it, away. (TA.)

فيل

1 فَالَ رَأْيُهُ, aor. ـِ (S, M, O, K,) inf. n. فُيُولَةٌ, (S,) thus in some copies of the K and in the A, (TA,) or فَيْلُولَةٌ, (M, O,) thus in other copies of the K, (TA,) and فَيَالَةٌ, thus in the O, but in the copies of the K فَيْلَة, (TA,) His judgment, or opinion, was weak, (S, M, O, K,) and erroneous; (M, K;) as also ↓ تفيّل; (M, Z, K, TA;) and [in like manner] فِى رَأْيِهِ ↓ فَيَّلَ [not فُيِّلَ] he was incorrect in his judgment, or opinion; and ↓ فَيَّلُوا occurs in a trad. as meaning فال رَأْيُهُمْ: (TA:) [and فَالَ alone, said of a man, signifies the same as فال رَأْيُهُ, as is shown by a verse of El-Kumeyt cited in the T and M and O and TA: but it seems from what here follows (taken from a passage unconnected with the foregoing) that the first and third of what are mentioned above as inf. ns. are regarded by some as simple substs.:] and one says, ↓ فِى رَأْيِهِ فَيَالَةٌ, (T, M, K, TA,) the last word like سَحَابَةٌ, (TA, [in the CK, erroneously, فى رِوَايَةٍ فِيَالَةٌ,]) and ↓ فُيُولَةٌ, (M, K, TA,) meaning [In his judgment, or opinion, is] a weakness. (TA.) A2: And فال signifies also He (a man) magnified himself, and became like the elephant (الفِيل); or he showed a morose aspect: (TA:) [or it may so signify: IAar cites the following verse: مِنَ النَّاسِ أَقْوَامٌ إِذَا صَادَفُوا الغِنَى

تَوَلَّوْا وَفَالُوا لِلصَّدِيقِ وَفَخَّمُوا which may mean [Of mankind are folks who, when they find riches, turn the back, and] magnify themselves and become like the elephant [to the friend, and aggrandize themselves] or show a morose aspect to the friend [&c.]; for the elephant is morose in aspect. (M.) 2 فيّل رَأْيَهُ, (S, M, K,) inf. n. تَفْيِيلٌ, He declared [or esteemed] his judgment, or opinion, to be weak, (S.) or bad, and erroneous. (M, K.) Umeiyeh Ibn Abee-'Áïdh says, فَلَوْ غَيْرَهَا مِنْ وُلْدِ كَعْبِ بْنِ كَاهِلٍ

مَدَحْتَ بِقَوْلٍ صَادِقٍ لَمْ تُفَيَّلِ meaning لَمْ يُفَيَّلْ رَأْيُكَ (SKr, M) i. e. [But hadst thou praised other than her, of the children of Kaab Ibn-Káhil, with a true saying,] thy judgment, or opinion, would not have been declared weak. (SKr.) b2: See also 1, in two places.3 فَايَلَ, [inf. n. مُفَايَلَةٌ and فِيَالٌ, (see الفَيَالُ below,)] He played [at the game called الفَيَال: see its part. n. below]. (O.) 5 تفيّل: see 1.

A2: Also He (a man, K, [or a camel, as is indicated in the O,]) became fat, (O, K,) as though he were a فِيل [or an elephant]. (O.) [See also 10.] b2: And, said of youth, or young manhood, (الشَّبَاب,) It increased, (Lth, T, M, O, K,) and became in its prime and fulness. (Lth, T, O.) b3: And, said of herbage, It became tall, and full-grown; or became of its full height, and blossomed. (Th, M, K.) 10 اِسْتَفْيَلَ He (a camel) became like the فِيل [or elephant] (M, K, TA) in bigness: (TA:) mentioned by IJ among the class of اسْتَحْوَذَ and the like: part. n. مُسْتَفْيِلٌ. (M.) [See also 5.]

فَالٌ: see فِيلٌ, latter half: A2: and the paragraph commencing with فَائِلُ الرَّأْىِ, near its end: A3: and see also فَأْلٌ, in art. فأل.

فَيْلٌ: see the paragraph here following.

فِيلُ [The elephant; Pers\. پيل;] a certain animal, (TA,) well known: pl. [of pauc.] أَفْيَالٌ and [of mult.] فُيُولٌ and فِيَلَةٌ; (S, M, O, Msb, K;) not أَفْيِلَةٌ: (ISk, S, O, Msb:) accord. to Sb.

فِيلٌ may be originally of the measure فُعْلٌ, (S, M, O,) pronounced with kesr because of the ى, like as they said أَبْيَضُ and بيضٌ; but Akh says, this is not the case in the sing, but only in the pl.: (S, O:) fem. with ة. (M, K) b2: Hence, لَيْلَةٌ مِثْلُ لَوْنِ الفِيلِ [lit. A night like the colour of the elephant;] meaning a night that is black. (M, TA,) and dust-coloured; (M;) in which one knows not the right course to pursue: the colours of the فيل being of this kind. (M, TA.) b3: [Hence, also, دَآءُ الفِيلِ The disease called by us the tumid Barbadoes leg; because the leg of the patient resembles that of the elephant by reason of its enormously-swollen state: not (as some have supposed it to be) elephantiasis; this latter being termed جُذَام (q. v.) [b4: And hence, likewise, used as an epithet,] فِيلٌ signifies also (tropical:) Heavy [or dull]; and low, ignoble, or mean. (K, TA.) b5: And one says رَجُلٌ فِيلُ الرَّأْىِ, meaning A man weak in respect of judgment, or opinion; (T, S, M, O, K;) and so ↓ فِيْلُهُ; (M, K;) and ↓ فَائِلُهُ: (T, M, O, K;) and ↓ فَيِّلُهُ, (ISk, T, S, M, O, K,) of the measure فَيْعِل; (O:) and ↓ فَالُهُ, (T, M, O, K,) and فَالٌ alone. (S, K.) meaning weak in respect of judgment, or opinion; (T, S, M, O, K;) erring in insight: (S:) pl. of the first] أَفْيَالٌ: (S, M, O, K:) but AO says, the ↓ فَائِل is one who, inspecting, forms an opinion and errs; if he err after examining a horse in all its states or conditions and forming an opinion respecting it from his inspection, [not while doing so,] he is not reckoned to be فائل. (TA.) الفَيَالُ and الفِيَالُ, (Lth, T, M, O, K) the former a subst, and the latter an inf. n. [of 3], (Lth, T, O,) and ↓ المُفَايَلَةُ [which is likewise an inf. n. of 3], (M, K,) A certain game, (Lth, T, M, O, K,) well known, (O,) of the children, (T,) or of the youths, or young men, of the Arabs (M, K) of the desert, (M,) with earth, or dust: (Lth, T, M, O:) a thing is hidden in earth, or dust, which is then divided (T, M) into two portions; then the hider says to his companion, In which of them twain is it? (T;) and if he [who is thus questioned] mistake, the hider says to him فَالَ رَأْيُكَ: (T, M, * K; *) ISk termed it الفِئَالُ, with ء; (O;) and it has been mentioned before in art. فأل: (T, O, K:) accord. to some, (TA,) this game is called الطَّبَنُ and السُدَّرُ. (T, TA. [But see the former of these two words.]) فَيَالَةٌ: see the first paragraph.

فُيُولَةٌ: see the first paragraph.

فَيِّلُ اللَّحْمِ A man having much flesh: (T, O, * K:) some pronounce it with ء, (T, O,) saying فَيأَل, (T,) or فَئِل; (O;) both mentioned before [in art. فأل]. (TA.) b2: فَيِّلُ الرَّأْىِ: see فِيلٌ, latter half.

فَيِّالٌ The attendant, or master, (S, M, O, Msb, K,) or the keeper, or driver, (MA, KL,) of the فِيل [or elephant], (S, MA, O, Msb, KL,) or of the فِيلَة. (So in the M and K.) فَائِلُ الرَّأْىِ: see فِيلٌ, latter half, in two places.

A2: الفَائِلُ [as a subst.] signifies The flesh that is upon the خُرْبَة, (S, O,) or خُرْب, (K, [in the M, accord. to the TT, حرف, app. a mistranscription,]) of the وَرِك; (S, M, O, K;) [which, I think, will be plainly seen from what follows to mean the flesh that is upon the sacro-ischiatic foramen; though خُرْبَةُ الوَرِكِ and خُرْبُ الوَرِكِ are said in the TA, in art. خرب, to mean “ the hole where the head of the thigh-bone is inserted; ”] so says A 'Obeyd: (S, O:) or, (S, M, O, K,) as some say, so adds A 'Obeyd, (S, O,) a certain vein (T, S, M, O, K) in the خُرْبَة of the وَرِك, descending into the leg, (T,) or in the thigh: (S, O:) As says, in “ the Book of the Horse,” in the وَرِك is the خُرْبَة, which is a نُقْرَة wherein is flesh, no bone being in it; and in that نُقْرَة is the فَائِل, and there is no bone between the said نقرة and the belly, but only skin and flesh; (T, * S, O;) and he cites the saying of El-Aashà, قَدْ نَخْضِبُ العَيْرَ فِى مَكْنُونِ فَائِلِهِ وَقَدْ يَشِيطُ عَلَى أَرْمَاحِنَا البَطَلُ [Oft we stain the ridge of the spear-head in what is concealed in the interior of his فائل, and oft the man of valour dies by means of our spears]; مَكْنُونُ الفَائِلِ means his blood: he says [by implication], we are skilful in respect of the place of piercing: (S, O:) but As said مِنْ in the place of فِى; and AA, قَدْ نَطْعُنُ; which has been pronounced to be wrong: (O:) or the فَائِلَانِ, (T, M,) or the ↓ فَائِلَتَانِ, (so in the K, [app. a mistranscription,]) are two veins entering into the interior parts of the thighs (T, M, K,) in the hinder parts thereof; (M, K;) and they adduce as an evidence thereof the verse of El-Aashà cited above, saying that the epithet مكنون would not have been used if the فائل were not a vein; but others say that [the poet meant that] he made the spear-head to become concealed in the furthest part of the flesh; and if the فائل were a vein, it would not have been mentioned as it has been in a phrase of Imra-el-Keys which will be cited in what follows: (M:) [hence it is said,] or they are two portions of flesh [between which is the lower part of the os sacrum, i. e.] the lower parts of which are upon the صَلَوَان [dual of صَلًا], from the region of the lower portions of the حَجَبَتَانِ to the عَجْب, bordering upon the عُصْعُص on either side, descending in the two sides of the two thighs; [so in a human being,] and thus in the horse: (M, K: [for the meanings of the words that I have here left untranslated, I must refer to their several proper arts.; as they are variously explained:]) ↓ الفَالُ is a dial. var. of الفَائِلُ; (M, K, TA;) which is expl. by Sgh [in the O] as meaning a certain vein issuing from the فَوَّارَة of the وَرِك [i. e. from the sacro-ischiatic foramen]: (TA:) [but the assertion that الفال is a dial. var. of الفائل seems to be founded only upon what here follows:] Imra-el-Keys says, [describing a horse,] لَهُ حَجَبَاتٌ مُشْرِفَاتٌ عَلَى الفَالِ (S, M; or على الفَالِى, as in the O and TA;) [i. e. He has edges of the haunch-bones projecting above, or beyond, the فائل; for] he means على فَائِلِ, having altered the latter word by transposition. (T, S, O, TA.) فَائِلَةٌ: see its dual in the next preceding paragraph, near the middle.

أَفْيَلُ [More, and most, weak, or erroneous; relating to a judgment, or an opinion]. أَفْيَلُ مِنَ الرَّأْىِ الدَّبَرِىِّ is a prov., meaning [More weak] than an opinion that is given after the affair [to which it relates] has passed. (Meyd.) مُفَايِلٌ [in the S and O in art. فأل, with ء, i. e. مُفَائِلٌ,] Playing at the game called الفَيَالُ. (M, O.) المُفَايَلَةُ expl. as a subst.: see الفَيَالُ.

مَفْيُولَآء [a quasi-pl. n. (like مَشْيُوخَآءُ &c.), but one of which the sing. (if it have one) is not mentioned,] The young ones of the فِيل [or elephant]. (O, K.) مُسْتَفْيِلٌ part. n. of 10, q. v. (M.)
