اكل

1 أَــكَلَــهُ, [aor. ـُ inf. n. أَــكْلٌ and مَأْــكَلٌ, [He ate it,] (S, K,) namely, food. (S.) Er-Rummánee says that أَــكْلٌ 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 الآكِلِــينَ المَآءَ ظُلْمًا فَمَا أَرَى

يَنَالُونَ خَيْرًا بَعْدَ أَــكْلِــهِمُ 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, أَــكَلَ 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], لَأَــكَلُــوا مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ وَمِنْ تَحْتِ

أَرْجُلِهِمْ [They should eat things above them and things beneath their feet] means, their means of subsistence should be made ample; (Bd, TA;) by the pouring of the blessings of the heaven and the earth upon them; or by the abundance of the fruit of the trees, and the produce of the grains sown; or by their being blessed with gardens of ripe fruits, so that they should gather them from the upper part of each tree, and pick up what should have fallen upon the ground. (Bd.) b3: اِنْقَطَعَ أَــكْلُــهُ [lit. His eating became cut off, or stopped,] means (tropical:) he died; [see also أُــكُلٌ;] and so اِسْتَوْفَى أَــكْلَــهُ [lit. he completed his eating]. (TA.) b4: أَــكَلَ رَؤْقَهُ [lit. He ate his life,] means (tropical:) he became extremely aged, and his teeth fell out, one after another.

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: أَــكَلَ غَنَمِى وَ شَرِبَهَا (tropical:) [He ate the flesh of my sheep, and drank the milk of them, means, like أَــكَلَ مَالِى, he ate, fed upon, devoured, or consumed, my wealth, or property: see 2].

In [some of] the copies of the K, for اِدَّعَاهُ, we here find, erroneously, دَعَاهُ. (TA.) You say, أَــكَّلْــتَنِى مَا لَمْ آكُلْ [lit. Thou hast made me to eat what I have not eaten,] meaning (tropical:) thou hast charged against me, or accused me of doing, what I have not done; as also ↓ آكَلْــتَنِى. (S, TA.)

أُكَالٌ (tropical:) A corrosion, or cankering, or decaying, of a limb, or member, [and of a sore,] from the mutual eating away of its several parts; as also ↓ إِكَالٌ. (K, TA.) [See also أَــكِلَــةٌ, voce إِــكْلَــةٌ, 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 إِــكْلَــةٌ. 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.

(Mgh.) Hence the prov., مَرْعًى وَلَا أَكُولَةً [lit. Pasturage, and no اكولة]; meaning (assumed tropical:) wealth collected together, and none expended. (TA.) b2: Also Barren; applied to a sheep or goat [app. because such is generally eaten]. (K.) أُكُولَةٌ: see what next follows.

أَكِيلَةٌ and ↓ أَكِيلٌ and ↓ أُكُولَةٌ, with two dammehs, (K,) so in the copies of the K, but perhaps a mistake for ↓ أُــكْلَــةٌ, (TA,) a word of a bad dial., (K, * TA,) and ↓ مَأْكُولٌ and ↓ مُؤَاكِلٌ, (K, TA, [in some copies of the former of which, instead of وَهِىَ قَبِيحَةٌ وَ المَأْكُولِ وَ المَؤَاكِلِ, meaning, as is said in the TA, وَهِىَ لُغَةٌ قَبِيحَةٌ &c., we find وَهِىَ قَبِيحَةٌ المَأْكُولِ وَ المَؤَاكِلِ,]) A sheep, or goat, which is set (K, TA) in the lurking-place of a hunter (TA) for the purpose of catching thereby the wolf and the like.
