مِنْ

: b2: زَيْدٌ أَعْقَلُ مِنْ أَنْ يَكْذِب means مِنَ الذَِّى يَكْذِبُ (Kull, p. 78) [i. e. Zeyd is more reasonable than he who lies: but, though this is the virtual meaning, the proper explanation, accord. to modern usage, is, that أَنْ is here for أَنَّ with the adjunct pronoun هُ; for in a phrase of this kind, an adjunct pronoun is sometimes expressed; so that the aor. must be marfooa; and the literal meaning is, Zeyd is more reasonable than that he will lie; which is equivalent to saying, Zeyd is too reasonable to lie. It may be doubted, however, whether a phrase of this kind be of classical authority. The only other instance that I have found is هُوَ أَحْصَنُ مِنْ أَنْ يْرَام وَأَعَزُّ مِن أَنْ يُضَام, in the TA, voce أَلْ. Accord. to modern usage, one may say, أَنْتَ أَعْقَلُ مِنْ

Er-Rummánee says that أَكْلٌ properly signifies The swallowing food after chewing it; so that the swallowing of pebbles is not properly thus termed: (Msb:) or, accord. to Ibn-El-Kemál, the conveying, or transmitting, to the belly what may be chewed, whether [the thing be] chewed or not; so that it does not apply to milk, nor to سَوِيق: and as to the saying of the poet, مِنَ الآكِلِينَ المَآءَ ظُلْمًا فَمَا أَرَى

يَنَالُونَ خَيْرًا بَعْدَ أَكْلِهِمُ المَآءَ (assumed tropical:) [Of the eaters of what they purchase with the price of water, wrongfully, I do not see any attain good after their eating of what they have purchased with the price of the water,] he means a people who used to sell water and purchase with the price thereof what they would eat: (TA:) [for you say, أَكَلَ كَذَا as meaning (assumed tropical:) He ate the price of such a thing: see another ex. voce إِكَافٌ; and another voce ثَدْىٌ.] b2: The saying, in the Kur [v. 70], لَأَكَلُوا مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِنْ تَحْتِ

(Bd.) b3: اِنْقَطَعَ أَكْلُهُ [lit. His eating became cut off, or stopped,] means (tropical:) he died; [see also أُكُلٌ;] and so اِسْتَوْفَى أَكْلَهُ [lit. he completed his eating].

Would any one of you like to eat the flesh of his brother when dead?]; defamation, or defamation of the absent, being meant thereby. (S, * Ibn-' Arafeh, Bd, Jel.) b6: أَكَلَ غَنَمِى وَ شَرِبَهَا (tropical:) [He ate the flesh of my sheep, and drank the milk of them, means, like أَكَلَ مَالِى, he ate, fed upon, devoured, or consumed, my wealth, or property: see 2].

(S, TA.) إِكْلَةٌ A mode, or manner, (K,) or state, or condition, (S, K,) in which one eats: (S, K: *) like جِلْسَةٌ and رِكْبَةٌ: (S, TA:) and the posture of the eater, reclining or sitting. (TA.) You say, إِنَّهُ لَحَسَنُ الإِكْلَةِ [Verily he has a good mode, &c., of eating]. (S.) b2: See also أُكْلَةٌ, last two sentences. b3: (tropical:) The itch: or an itching: (S, K:) as also ↓ أُكَالٌ, (As, S, K,) [see أَكَلَنِى رَأْسِى, of which both are said to be inf. ns.,] and ↓ أَكِلَةٌ: (K:) so the last is written accord. to the correct copies of the K: accord. to Esh-Shiháb, in the Shifá el-Ghaleel, it would seem to be أُكْلَةٌ; but this is at variance with the authority of the leading lexicologists: the same word, أَكِلَةٌ, is also explained in the K as signifying a disease in a limb, or member, in consequence of which one part is [as it were] eaten by another; [a meaning which I believe to be correct, (see أُكَالٌ,) although SM says,] but this is identical with the itch, or an itching: and ↓ أَكَلَانٌ is a vulgar term for the same; and so is ↓ آكِلَةٌ, with medd, given as correct by Eth-Tha'álibee, in [his book entitled] the Mudáf and Mensoob, but disallowed by ElKhafájee. (TA.) One says, إِنِّى لَأَجِدُ فِى جَسَدِى

[See also أَكِلَةٌ, voce إِكْلَةٌ, where a similar meaning is assigned to the former of these two words; and the same seems to be indicated in the Msb.] b2: See also another signification voce إِكْلَةٌ. b3: بَهَا أُكَالٌ, said of a she-camel, (tropical:) She has an itching and annoyance in her belly, (S, K,) from the growth of the hair, (S,) or of the fur, (K,) of her fœtus.
