طلف

2 طلّف عَلَيْهِ, inf. n. تَطْلِيفٌ; (O, K;) and ظلّف is a dial. var. thereof; (TA;) He exceeded it; (O, K;) [meaning a certain number of years; for] it is like ذَرَّفَ and رَمَّثَ and طَلَّثَ. (IAar, TA in art. ظلف.) 4 اطلف [He escaped being a victim of his adversary's blood-revenge; expl. as meaning] the blood-revenge of his adversary was ineffectual, or had not effect. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) A2: اطلفهُ He made it [i. e. a man's blood] to go for nothing [i. e. unretaliated, or uncompensated by a mulct]; or to be of no account. (S, O, K.) b2: And He gave him (S, O, K) a thing (O) as a free gift. (S, O, K.) طَلْفٌ: see the next paragraph in two places.

طَلَفٌ A thing that goes for nothing; [as blood that is unretaliated, or uncompensated by a mulct;] that is of no account, ineffectual, or null; syn. هَدَرٌ; (S, O, K;) [and so ↓ طَلْفٌ, as shown by what follows;] as also ↓ طَلِيفٌ. (O, K.) You say, ذَهَبَ دَمُهُ طَلَفًا, (AA, S, O, K,) and ↓ طَلْفًا, (AA, O, K,) and ظَلَفًا and ظَلْفًا, (AA, O,) His blood went for nothing; as a thing of no account; ineffectually; or in vain; unretaliated, or uncompensated by a mulct; syn. هَدَرًا, (AA, S, O, K, TA,) and بَاطِلًا: and in like manner, مَالُهُ [his property]. (TA. [See also تَلَفٌ.]) And Ru-beh says, ↓ كَمْ مِنْ عِدًى أَمْوَالُهُمْ طَلِيفُ [How many enemies are there whose possessions are things that have gone for nought !]. (O, as an ex. of the last word in the sense of هَدَر.) b2: And (S, O, K) hence (O) A gift; (S, O, K;) a gift freely bestowed, not for any compensation. (S, TA.) b3: And A thing that is easy; or of light estimation, paltry, or despicable; [as also ظَلَفٌ;] syn. هَيِّنٌ. (IF, O, K.) b4: And A redundant portion of a thing: (IF, O, K:) if this be not what is meant by the saying that طَلَفٌ is syn. with فَضْلٌ, this saying is of no account. (IF, O.) طَلِيفٌ: see طَلَفٌ, in two places. b2: Also A thing that is taken. (O, K. *) [And hence, perhaps, the saying of Ru-beh cited above.] b3: One says also, ذَهَبَ فُلَانٌ بِالمَالِ طَلِيفًا and ظَلِيفًا i. e. Such a one went away with the property without compensation. (Yoo, O.) b4: And أَكَلَ مَالَهُ فِى طَلِيف He devoured his property in a vain, or an ineffectual, procedure. (O.)
