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.

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; (

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.]
أَطْفَلُ [More, or most, like to the طُفَيْلِىّ: and hence, more, and most, intrusive, uninvited]. أَطْفَلُ 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. (
