(S.) b2: Yousay also حَلَوْتُ meaning I bribed another; gave him a bribe. (TA.) b3: And ↓ لَأَحْلُوَنَّكَ حُلْوَانَكَ I will assuredly give thee thy requital.

(TA.) b2: [Hence,] حَلَّيْتُ الشَّىْءَ فِى عَيْنِ صَاحِبِهِ [I made the thing to seem pleasing, or goodly, or beautiful, in the eye of its possessor]. (S.) 3 حَالَيْتُهُ, (inf. n. مُحَالَاةٌ, TK,) (tropical:) I jested, or joked, with him.
