A4: And see 5, in two places.4 اطفلــت, said of a woman, (S, O, TA,) and of a girl, or young woman, (صبية, [but this, I doubt not, is a mistranscription for ظَبْيَة, i. e. a doe-gazelle,]) and of a she-camel, (TA,) or of any female, (Msb,) She had a طِفْل [or young one of tender age]: (S, O, TA:) or she brought forth.

One says بَنَانٌ طَفْلٌ [Soft, or tender, fingers, or ends of fingers]; this being allowable, though بنان is a [kind of] pl. and طفل is a sing., because every pl. [of the kind] that differs not from its sing. save in the ة [affixed to the latter] is made sing. and masc. [as well as fem.]: and therefore Homeyd says, فَلَمَّا كَشَفْنَ اللِّبْسَ عَنْهُ مَسَحْنَهُ بِأَطْرَافِ طَفْلٍ زَانَ غَيْلًا مُوَشَّمًا [And when they (referring to females) removed from over him the clothing, they wiped him with the extremities of soft, or tender, fingers, that adorned a plump fore arm, tattooed]; meaning, بِأَطْرَافِ بِنَانٍ طَفْلٍ.

(TA.) b4: (assumed tropical:) Small clouds: so in a verse of Aboo-Dhu-eyb. (TA.) b5: (tropical:) An object of want: (K:) or a small object of want. (TA.)

A2: Also Rain: so in the phrase طَفَلُ الثُّرَيَّا [The rain of the auroral setting of the Pleiades]. (S, O.)

طِفْيَلٌ: see طِفْلٌ.

طَفَالَةٌ: see what next follows.

طُفُولَةٌ: see what next follows.

طُفُولِيَّةٌ, mentioned by ISd and the expositors of the Fs and others, as well as in the K, and also pronounced without teshdeed, [i. e. طُفُولِيَةٌ,] which shows, as do several other reasons, that the ى therein is not that which is the characteristic of rel. ns., though it has been asserted to be so, (MF, TA,) The state, or condition, of the طِفْل; [i. e. early infancy: or, in a larger sense, childhood;] as also ↓ طُفُولَةٌ and ↓ طَفَالَةٌ and ↓ طَفَلٌ; (K;) [inf. ns.] having no verb [corresponding to them]. (TA.) طُفَيْلِىٌّ One who intrudes at feasts, uninvited; (S, O, Msb, K;) as also ↓ طِفْلِــيلٌ: (K:) the former is a rel. n. from طُفَيْلٌ, the name of a certain man of El-Koofeh, (ISk, S, O, Msb, K,) who used to intrude at feasts, uninvited, (ISk, S, O, Msb,) and who was called طُفَيْلُ الأَعْرَاسِ and طُفَيْلُ العَرَائِسِ: (ISk, S, O: [two other deriva-tions are mentioned in the TA; but they are too far-fetched to deserve notice:]) such the Arabs [in their proper language] called وَارِشٌ. (ISk, S, O, Msb.) طَفَّالٌ One who sells طَفْل [or fullers' earth]. (TA.) طِفْلِــيلٌ: see طُفَيْلِىٌّ.

طَافِلَةٌ, which Golius explains as meaning “ i. q. فَايِدَةٌ et خَيْرٌ, utilitas, bonum,” referring to the KL as his authority, is evidently a mistake for طَائِلٌ, expl. as meaning فَائِدَةٌ and خَيْرٌ in my copy of the KL, which does not mention طَافِلَةٌ in any sense.]

أَــطْفَلُ [More, or most, like to the طُفَيْلِىّ: and hence, more, and most, intrusive, uninvited]. أَــطْفَلُ مِنْ لَيْلٍ عَلَى نَهَارٍ [More intrusive, uninvited, than night upon day], and مِنْ شَيْبٍ عَلَى شَبَابٍ [than hoariness upon youthfulness], and مِنْ ذُبَابٍ [than flies], are proverbs.

Kureysh journeyed with the camels that had recently brought forth having with them their young ones, occurring in a trad., means, (assumed tropical:) with their collective company, their old and their young. (TA.) [See, again, عَائِذٌ.] b2: [It is also said by Freytag to be applied in the Deewán of the Hudhalees to clouds followed by small ones.]

b3: And لَيْلَةٌ مُــطْفِلٌ means A night that kills the young ones by its cold. (K, TA.) طفو and طفى 1 طَفَا فَوْقَ المَآءِ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) aor. ـْ (S, Mgh, Msb,) inf. n. طُفُوٌّ (S, Mgh, Msb, K) and طَفْوٌ, (S, Msb, K,) It (a thing, S, Mgh, Msb) floated upon the water, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) and did not sink.

[In the CK, على الاَكَمِ is erroneously put for عَلَا الأَكَمَ.]) b5: and طَفَوْتُ فَوْقَهُ (assumed tropical:) I leaped upon it. (TA.) The saying عَبْدٌ إِذَا مَا رَسَبَ القَوْمُ طَفَا is expl. by IAar as meaning [A slave] who, when the people are grave, leaps by reason of his ignorance. (TA.) b6: And طَفَا المَآءُ [not a mistranscription for طَغَا] (assumed tropical:) The water rose, or became high. (TA voce طُوفَانٌ, q. v.) b7: And طَفَا said of a gazelle, (assumed tropical:) He ran vehemently. (K.) One says of a gazelle, مَرَّ يَطْفُو, meaning (tropical:) He passed by, or along, or away, going lightly, or briskly, upon the ground, and running vehemently.

(TA.) A2: [طَفَا is made trans. by means of بِ: see an ex. voce أَرْسَبَ.]4 اطفى He kept continually, or constantly, to the eating of fish found floating upon the water. (TA.) طُفْىٌ: see طُفْيَةٌ.

طَفْوَةٌ, (K,) thus it should app. be accord. to the K, but in copies of the M, ↓ طُفْوَةٌ, with damm, (TA,) A thin, or slender, plant. (K.) طُفْوَةٌ: see what next precedes: b2: and see also the paragraph next following.
