Hence one says, بِعْتُهُ بِالغَالِى and ↓ بِالغَلِىِّ I sold it, or bought it, at what was a high, or an excessive, price, or rate. (K, TA.) A poet says, وَلَوْ أَنَّا نُبَاعَ كَلَامَ سَلْمَى

↓ لَأَعْطَيْنَا بِهِ ثَمَنًا غَلِيَّا [And if we were sold the speech, or discourse, of Selmà, we would give for it a high, or an excessive, price]. (TA.) b4: Also Fat flesh-meat. (K.) غَالِيَةٌ: see art. غلى.

أَغْلَى More, or most, high [or excessive] in price: hence the saying, أَفْضَلُ الرِّقَابِ أَغْلَاهَا ثَمَنًا [The most excellent of slaves is the highest thereof in price]. (Mgh.) مِغْلًى [in the CK مِغْلَاء] An arrow with which one raises the arm [in shooting] in order to exceed with it the usual limit, or nearly to do so: (K, * TA:) or, accord. to the M, that is used in striving to exceed the usual limit: also termed ↓ مِغْلَاةٌ: pl. مَغَالٍ. (TA.) مِغْلَاةٌ: see what next precedes. b2: نَاقَةٌ مِغْلَاةُ الوَهَقِ A she-camel that goes quickly when her feet of her fore legs and of her hind legs fall in one place: (S: [it is there expl. by تَغْتَلِى followed by the words إِذَا تَوَاهَقَتْ أَخْفَافُهَا which I have here rendered accord. to an explanation in art. وهق in the O: but the phrase مغلاة الوهق is there mentioned as an ex. of الوَهَق as signifying “ the lasso; ” whence it appears that the phrase lit. means that exceeds the limit of the lasso; agreeably with the explanation of Golius, “rapide currens, et fugiens laqueum sibi injiciendum: ”]) or [the meaning is a she-camel that steps far in vying, or keeping pace, with another; for], in explaining the phrase مِغْلَاةُ الوَهَقِ, IB says that المِغْلَاةُ applied to the she-camel signifies اَلَّتِى

(K.) مُعِمٌّ: see the next preceding paragraph.

مِعَمٌّ, with kesr to the first letter, (K, TA, [in the CK, مِعَمُّ خَيْرِ بكَسْرِ اَوَّلِهِ is erroneously put for مِعَمٌّ بِكَسْرِ أَوَّلِهِ خَيّرٌ,]) One who is good, or very good, (K, TA,) who includes mankind in common, in general, or universally, within the compass of his goodness, (Kr, T, K, TA,) and his superabundant bounty; (T, TA;) and ↓ عَمَمٌ signifies the same: (K:) [see also an ex. and explanation voce مِثَمٌّ, in art. ثم:] مِعَمٌّ is almost the only instance of an epithet of the measure مِفْعَلٌ from a verb of the measure فَعَلَ, except مِلَمٌّ [and مِثَمٌّ, with both of which it is coupled].
