(O.) [See also حَازٌّ, in art. حز.] b2: [Hence, app.,] ذُو عَرْكَيْنِ, as used by a poet, [the dual, it seems, being put for the sing. for the sake of the rhyme, as it ends a verse,] is a metaphorical term for The vulva of a woman; the عَرْك in its primary sense being in the camel.

(S, O.) A2: Also i. q. صَوْتٌ [A sound, noise, voice, &c.]; and so ↓ عَرِكٌ. (S, O, K.)

(K.) عَرِكٌ A man who throws down, or prostrates, his antagonists much, or often; syn. صِرِّيعٌ; (S, O;) in the K and in some of the copies of the S صَرِيع, like أَمِير; [which is app. a mistranscription;] (TA;) strong, or vehement, (S, * O, * K, TA,) in striving, contending, or conflicting, (K, TA,) and in might, courage, valour, or prowess, (TA,) in war, or battle, (K, TA,) and in altercation; (TA;) as also ↓ مُعَارِكٌ: (K, TA:) pl. of the former عَرِكُونَ.

A2: رَمْلٌ عَرِكٌ and ↓ مُعْرَوْرِكٌ Sand, or sands, intermingling; (IDrd, O, K;) as also ↓ عَرِيكٌ, (L, TA,) which last epithet is erroneously applied in the K to the word رَجُلٌ instead of رَمْلٌ, as is also in one instance ↓ مُعْرَوْرِكٌ [in the CK in this latter instance written مُعْرَوْرَكٌ].

(TA.) عَرِيكَةٌ A camel's hump: or the remainder thereof: (K:) or عَرِيكَةُ السَّنَامِ signifies what remains of the hump: (ISk, S, O:) so called because the purchaser feels that part (يَعْرُكُهُ) to know the fatness and strength [of the animal]: (TA:) pl. عَرَائِكُ; which is said by some to signify the humps with the backs.

(S, Mgh, O, K.) عَجَلٌ and ↓ عَجَلَةٌ, both inf. ns. of عَجِلَ [q. v.], (Mgh, Msb,) are Syn. with سُرْعَةٌ; (K;) contr. of بُطْءٌ: (S, O:) the latter is expl. by Th as signifying the seeking, and pursuing, or endeavouring after, a thing before its proper time, or season; and as proceeding from the desire of the soul; wherefore it is generally discommended in the Kur-án, so that it is said to be from the Devil. (TA.) It is said in the Kur [xxi. 38], خُلِقَ الْإِنْسَانُ مِنْ عَجَلٍ, meaning, it is said, Man is composed of haste; (O;) so says Fr, and in like manner says Aboo-Is-hák; (T, TA;) to denote the excess of this attribute in him: (T, O, TA:) or, accord. to Th, (TA,) the phrase is inverted, the meaning being, haste is created from man; (Msb, TA;) but IJ disapproves this explanation, and also another which will be mentioned in what follows. (TA.) A2: عَجَلٌ signifies also Food that is hastily prepared, and brought, before the [meal called] غَدَآء has become matured. (TA.) [See also عُجَّالٌ.]

عَزَالِى without the article,) and عَزَالَى also (S, O, Msb, K) is allowable; (S, O;) and ↓ العَزَائِلُ occurs in a trad. for العَزَالِى; these two words being like الشَّائِكُ and الشَّاكِى. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] El-Kumeyt says, [describing clouds (سَحَاب),] مَرَتْهُ الجَنُوبُ فَلَمَّا اكْفَهَرْ رَ حَلَّتْ عَزَالِيَهُ الشَّمْأَلُ (assumed tropical:) [The south wind drew them forth; and when they became black and dense and accumulated, the north wind loosed their spouts; i. e. caused the rain to pour forth]. (S, O.) And one says of a cloud (سَحَابَة), (Mgh, TA,) when it discharges its pouring [rain], (Mgh,) or when it pours forth copious rain, (TA,) أَرْخَتْ عَزَالِيَهَا (tropical:) [It loosed its spouts], (Mgh,) or قَدْ حَلَّتْ عَزَالِيَهَا [it has loosed its spouts], and أَرْسَلَتْ عَزَالِيَهَا, (TA,) which [means the same and] is said [also] of the sky (السَّمَآء) by way of indicating the vehement falling of the rain, this being likened to its descent from the mouths [meaning spouts] of the مَزَادَة [or rather of the مَزَاد or مَزَايِد]. (Msb.) b3: and [hence also,] العَزْلَآءُ signifies (assumed tropical:) The اِسْت [i. e. the anus; as being an outlet; and as being closed by means of a sphincter, like as the عزلآء properly thus termed is closed by means of a thong tied round it]. (O, K.) عُزْلَانٌ is a word used by the vulgar in the sense of عَزْلٌ [app. as inf. n. of عَزَلَهُ, q. v.]. (TA.) عِزَالٌ Weakness; syn. ضَعْفٌ. (L, K, TA: in the CK ضَعِيف.) A2: It is also a vulgar term for The goods, or furniture and utensils, of the house or tent. (TA.) العَزَالَانِ [a dual of which the sing. is not mentioned] The two feathers that are at the extremity of the tail of the eagle: (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K:) pl. أَعْزِلَةٌ. (Ibn-'Abbád, O.) العَزَائِلُ, for العَزَالِى: see عَزْلَآءُ.

العُزَّالُ: see المُعْتَزِلَةُ.

أَعْزَلُ Sand (رَمْل) separate, or cut off, (IAar, O, K,) from other sands. (IAar, O.) b2: Also A man not having with him any weapon; (S, O, K;) as also ↓ عُزُلٌ, (O, K,) occurring in a trad.; (O;) and ↓ مِعْزَالٌ, (K,) or this signifies not having with him a spear; (S, * K;) and the first is sometimes expl. as having this particular meaning: (TA:) pl. of the first, (S, O, K,) and of ↓ عُزُلٌ, (K, TA,) عُزْلٌ and عُزْلَانٌ and عُزَّلٌ, (S, O, K,) which is anomalous, but made to accord with حُسَّرٌ, pl. of the epithet حَاسِرٌ, because nearly like it in meaning, (R, MF,) and أَعْزَالٌ, (K,) or or this is pl. of ↓ عُزُلٌ, (O, TA,) and مَعَازِيلُ, (IJ, K,) which is anomalous, (TA,) and this is pl. of ↓ مِعْزَالٌ (S, O, K) also. (K.) Hence, the epithet الأَعْزَلُ is applied to one of the سِمَاكَانِ, (S, O, K, TA,) i. e., to one of the two stars of which each is called السِّمَاكُ [q. v.]; (TA;) because, unlike [the other سماك, i. e.] الرَّامِحُ, it has no star [near] before it that is regarded as its weapon; (S, * O, * K, * TA;) or because in the days of its rising [aurorally] there is no cold nor wind. (O, K.) b3: And A bird that cannot fly. (MF, TA.) b4: And Clouds (سَحَاب) in which is no rain. (S, O, K.) b5: And A horse having his tail inclining to one side, (S, Mgh, O, K,) by habit, (S, O, K,) not naturally. (S, O.) [See عَزِلَ.] Hence the saying, أَعُوذُ بِاللّٰهِ مِنَ الأَعْزَلِ عَلَى الأَعْزَلِ i. e. [I seek protection by God] from a [or the] man having with him no weapon, upon a [or the] horse of which the عَسِيب [or bone of the tail, or part of the tail where the hair grows,] is crooked. (TA.) b6: And [app. as an epithet applied to an ass or the like,] Deficient in one of the حَرْقَفَتَانِ [which seems here to mean, in the crest of one of the two hip-bones]. (IAar, O, K.) b7: And The share, of flesh-meat, of an absent man: (IAar, O, K: *) pl. عُزْلٌ. (IAar, O.) مَعْزِلٌ A place of removal, or separation of oneself: so in the saying, كُنْتُ بِمَعْزِلٍ عَنْ كَذَا وَكَذَا [I was in a place, and hence in a state, of removal, or separation, of myself, from such and such things; I was aloof therefrom]. (TA.) See 8. وَكَانَ فِى مَعْزِلٍ, in the Kur [xi. 44], means And he was aloof from the ship [i. e. the ark], or from the religion of his father. (O, TA.) and one says, أَنَا عَنْ هٰذَا الأَمْرِ بِمَعْزِلٍ [I am aloof from this affair]. (S, O.) And فُلَانٌ عَنِ الحَقِّ بِمَعْزِلٍ Such a one is aloof from the truth. (Msb.) مِعْزَالٌ A pastor who goes apart, or aside, with his cattle, and pastures them in a place remote, or separate, from men, or the people: (S, O:) or a pastor apart from others (K, TA) with his camels depasturing the herbage not previously pastured upon and seeking successively the places where rain had fallen: in this sense not an epithet of discommendation, for the doing thus is an act of the courageous and valiant of men: (TA:) pl. مَعَازِيلُ. (S.) b2: And One who alights apart, or aloof, from the company of travellers; (K, TA; [من السَّفَرِ in the CK should be مِنَ السَّفْرِ;]) who alights by himself; in which sense it is an epithet of discommendation. (TA.) b3: And One who separates himself from the players at the game called المَيْسِر, by reason of meanness. (S, O, K.) b4: And One who is alone in his opinion, having no one to share with him in it. (TA.) b5: See also أَعْزَلُ in two places. b6: Also Weak and stupid. (S, O, K.) مَعْزُولٌ [pass. part. n. of عَزَلَهُ; Put, or set, apart, away, or aside; &c.]. إِنَّهُمْ عَنِ السَّمْعِ لَمَعْزُولُونَ, in the Kur [xxvi. 212], means Verily they are debarred, or precluded, from hearing [the speech of the angels]. (TA.) المُعْتَزِلَةُ A sect of the قَدَرِيَّة [q. v.], who asserted that they seceded from what were in their estimation the two parties of error, the people of the سُنَّة and خَوَارِج: (O, K:) [therefore they were thus called, i. e. the Seceders:] or they were thus called by El-Hasan (K, TA) Ibn-Yesár El-Basree (TA) when Wásil Ibn-'Atà and his companions withdrew from him to one of the columns of the mosque, [agreeably with a common practice of lecturers in a mosque, each of them seating himself on the ground at the foot of a column, while his hearers, with him, seated also on the ground, form a ring,] and he (i. e. Wásil, TA) began to establish the dictum of the condition between the two conditions, that the committer of a great sin is not a believer absolutely (K, TA) nor an unbeliever absolutely (K, TA, but not in the CK,) but between the two conditions: (K, TA:) and they are also called ↓ العُزَّالُ. (TA.)

عول

1 عَالَ عِيَالَهُ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, * K, TA,) aor. ـُ (S, O, Msb,) inf. n. عَوْلٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and عِيَالَةٌ (S, O, K) and عُوُولٌ; (K;) He fed, nourished, or sustained, his family, or household, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, * K, [in the Msb, اليَتِيمَ, the orphan,]) and expended upon them: (S, Mgh, O:) or he supplied them with what they needed of food and clothing and other things: (TA:) and ↓ أَعَالَهُمْ and ↓ عَيَّلَهُمْ signify the same. (K.) One says, عُلْتُهُ شَهْرًا I supplied him with his means of subsistence for a month. (S, O.) And it is said in a trad., اِبْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ i. e. [Begin thou] with those whom thou sustainest, and whose expenses are incumbent on thee; and if anything remain over and above, let it be for the strangers, or those who are not related to thee. (TA.) A2: And عال, (Ks, K, TA,) aor. as above, (Ks, TA,) inf. n. عَوْلٌ and عِيَالَةٌ (K, TA) and عُوُولٌ, (TA,) He had a numerous family or household; (K, TA;) [and] so ↓ اعال, (Z, Mgh, O, Msb,) and ↓ أَعْوَلَ, (Z, O, K,) and ↓ أَعْيَلَ, (Msb, K, TA,) this last formed by the change of و into ى, (TA,) [or formed from عِيَالٌ,] and عيل [i. e. ↓ عَيَّلَ]: (Msb:) ↓ اعال is also expl. as meaning [simply] he had a family, or household: and ↓ أَعْوَلَتْ, occurring in a trad., as meaning she brought forth children, is said by IAth to be originally أَعْيَلَتْ, signifying she had a family, or household; but Z says that اعيلت is formed with a regard to the word عِيَالٌ, and is not the original form. (TA.) [See also 4 in art. عيل.] مَا لَهُ عَالَ وَمَالَ is a form of imprecation, meaning [What ails him?] May he have a numerous family or household, and may he decline from the right course in his judgment. (K. [See another explanation in art. عيل.]) And the saying, in the Kur [iv. 3], ذٰلِكَ أَدْنَى أَلَّا تَعُولُوا has been expl. as meaning [That will be more, or most, apt, fit, or proper,] that ye may not have numerous families or households. (TA.) b2: [Hence, probably,] عال, aor. as above, [and يَعِيلُ, (see 1 in art. عيل,)] signifies also He (a man) was, or became, poor; (Ks, TA;) [and] so ↓ اعال. (K.) And Yoo says that لَا يَعُولُ عَلَى

القَصْدِ أَحَدٌ signifies لَا يَحْتَاجُ [app. meaning No one will become poor, or in want, while following the right course]: (TA:) and so لَا يَعِيلُ. (TA in art. عيل.) A3: عال المِيزَانُ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ and يَعِيلُ, (K, TA,) inf. n. عَوْلٌ and عَيْلٌ, (TA,) The balance inclined, or declined, (S, Mgh, O, Msb,) and rose: (Mgh, Msb:) or one of its extremities rose above the other: (TA:) or it was, or became, defective, and declined from the right state: or [in the CK “ and ”] it was, or became, excessive. (K, TA.) And [hence,] عال فِى المِيزَانِ (assumed tropical:) He was, or became, unfaithful; or he acted unfaithfully. (Msb.) A poet says, قَالُوا اتَّبْعْنَا رَسُولَ اللّٰهِ وَاطَّرَحُوا قَوْلَ الرَّسُولِ وَعَالُوا فِى المَوَازِينِ [They said, “We have followed the way of the Apostle of God: ” but they have rejected the saying of the Apostle, (assumed tropical:) and been false in the balances, i. e., unfaithful]. (S, O.) b2: And عال, (inf. n. عَوْلٌ, Msb,) He (a judge, Mgh) deviated from the right course, or acted wrongfully, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) فِى الحُكْمِ [in the judgment]. (S, O.) Hence, in the Kur [iv. 3, mentioned above], أَلَّا تَعُولُوا [that ye may not deviate from the right course], (S, Mgh, O, Msb, TA,) accord. to Mujá-hid, (S, O, Msb,) and most of the expositors. (TA.) b3: And hence, (S, Mgh, O,) in the opinion of A'Obeyd, (S, O,) عَالَتِ الفَرِيضَةُ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (TA,) inf. n. عَوْلٌ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb,) The فَرِيضَة [or primarily-apportioned inheritance] deviated [by excess] from the limit of the named [primary] portions [which are all fractions of four and twenty]; (Bd in iv. 3;) [meaning] it rose [above], (S, O, Msb, K,) or exceeded, (K,) in the reckoning, (Msb, K,) [the regular sum of the fixed primary portions,] i. e., its [fixed primary], portions exceeded [the regular sum thereof], occasioning a diminution to the sharers: (S, Mgh, O, Msb:) العَوْلُ in this case being the contr. of الرَّدُّ [which I do not find in any lexicon, but only in dictionaries of conventional terms]. (Msb.) Az relates, of El-Mufaddal, that, application having been made to him respecting [the shares of inheritance of] two daughters and a father and a mother and a wife, said, “Her [the wife's] eighth has become a ninth: ” and A' Obeyd says, he meant that the [primary] portions had exceeded [the regular sum] so that there fell to the wife the ninth, whereas in the original case she would have had the eighth; for if the فريضة had not exceeded [the regular sum], it would have consisted of four and twenty; but when it [so] exceeded, it became of seven and twenty; and there pertained to the two daughters the two thirds [of four and twenty], i. e. sixteen portions; and to the father and the mother the two sixths, i. e. eight portions; and to the wife three reckoned as of seven and twenty, i. e. the ninth, whereas, before the exceeding, it would have been three of four and twenty, i. e. the eighth: and this question is called المَسْأَلَةُ المِنْبَرِيَّةُ, because 'Alee was asked respecting it when he was on the pulpit, and said, without premeditation, “Her eighth has become a ninth. ” (TA.) Hence the saying, in a trad. of Maryam, [i. e. the Virgin Mary, respecting a story to which allusion is made in the Kur iii. 39, (see a note on that verse in Sale's Translation,)] وَعَالَ قَلَمُ زَكَرِيَّآءَ i. e. [and the divining-arrow of Zacharias] rose upon the water. (TA.) b4: And one says also, عال زَيْدٌ الفَرَائِضَ, (S, Mgh, O,) or الفَرِيضَةَ, (Msb,) first Pers\. عُلْتُهَا, (K,) meaning Zeyd made the فرائض, or فريضة, to be as described above; as also ↓ أَعَالَهَا; (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K; *) which latter is the more common. (Msb.) b5: عال said of an affair, or event, It was, or became, hard to be borne, severe, or distressing, and great, or formidable. (S, O, K.) b6: And also, (S, O, K,) aor. ـُ (S. O,) inf. n. عَوْلٌ, (TA,) It (a thing) overcame a person; burdened, or oppressed, him; (S, O, K;) distressed him; (Fr, O;) and disquieted him, or rendered him anxious. (K.) [See an ex. in a verse cited voce مَسَافَةٌ, in art. سوف.] One says, عِيلَ مَا هُوَ عَائِلُهُ i. e. غُلِبَ مَا هُوَ غَالِبُهُ [May he be overcome! Of what is he the overcomer?]: (S, Meyd, O, K:) a prov., (Meyd,) applied to him at whose speech, or some other thing proceeding from him, (S, Meyd, O, K,) of a like sort, (K,) one wonders: (S, Meyd, O, K:) it is of the nature of a prayer, (S, Meyd, O,) for the man; (Meyd;) like the saying, when a thing pleases one, قَاتَلَهُ اللّٰهُ, and أَخْزَاهُ اللّٰهُ. (TA.) And عِيلَ صَبْرِى My patience was overcome; (S, O, K;) and so عَالَ صَبْرِى: (Abu-l-Jarráh, Lh, K:) or, accord. to Aboo-Tálib, the former may mean رُفِعَ [i. e., was taken away, lit. raised; and if so, the latter may in like manner mean اِرْتَفَعَ]. (TA.) عَالَتِ البَيْقُورَ, occurring in a verse of Umeiyeh Ibn-Abi-s-Salt, refers to a year of drought, and means It oppressed the [wild] oxen, by occasioning their having سَلَع and عُشَر tied to their tails and set on fire, and being made to ascend upon the mountain; by the doing of which, the Arabs asserted that they obtained rain. (S, O. [See art. سلع.]) b7: عَالَكَ عَالِيًا [in which عَالَكَ app. signifies properly رَفَعَكَ, the agent (اللّٰهُ) being understood,] is like the saying لَعًا لَكَ عَالِيًا, (K, TA, [in the CK لَعا لَكَ,]) and is expl. in the T as meaning Mayest thou rise, or be raised, after stumbling, or falling. (TA.) b8: عِيلَ عَوْلُهُ [app. signifying lit. May the wailing for him be raised (in the CK عَوْلَةً)] means may his mother be bereft of him; as also عَالَ عَوْلُهُ. (K, TA.) 2 عَيَّلَهُمْ [app. formed from عِيَالٌ, in which the ى is originally و]: see 1, first sentence. b2: It signifies also He made them to become what are termed عِيَال [i. e. a family, or household]: or he neglected them: (K:) or تَعْيِيلٌ signifies the feeding badly. (S and O in art. عيل.) A2: عيّل as intrans.: see 1, fourth sentence.

A3: عوّل عَلَيْهِ He acted, or behaved, with boldness, or presumptuousness, towards him; or confided in his love, and therefore acted presumptuously towards him; and he put, or imposed as a burden, upon him [some affair]; (Az, S, O, K;) as also عَلَيْهِ ↓ أَعْوَلَ, (K, TA,) part. n. ↓ مُعْوِلٌ. (TA.) One says, عَوَّلْتُ, عَلَى فُلَانٍ I put, or imposed as a burden, upon such a one, somewhat of my affair: and عَوِّلْ عَلَىَّ Put thou, or impose thou as a burden, upon me what thou desirest. (Ham p. 125.) b2: And He asked aid of him; (K, TA;) as also عوّل بِهِ. (TA.) One says, عَوِّلٌ عَلَىَّ بِما شِئْتَ Ask thou aid of me in what thou wilt; as though he said, put thou, or impose thou as a burden, upon me, what thou likest. (S, O.) b3: And He relied upon it, or confided in it; (Msb, K;) namely, a thing; as also عوّل بِهِ; inf. n. تَعْوِيلٌ (Msb) and ↓ مُعَوَّلٌ, (K, TA,) thus on the authority of Th, who thus explains it in the saying, (TA,) of Imra-el- Keys, (O,) وَإنَّ شِفَائِى عَبْرَةٌ مُهَرَقَةٌ فَهَلْ عِنْدَ رَسْمٍ دَارِسٍ مِنْ مُعَوَّلِ [When verily my cure is a flow of tears poured forth: but is there reliance, or confidence, to be felt at the remains of an abode becoming rased, or effaced?]: or ↓ مُعَوَّل is here an inf. n. of عَوَّلْتُ in the sense of أعْوَلْتُ, i. e. بَكَيْتُ; so that the meaning is, weeping: (TA:) or it here means a place of weeping: or, as some say, a seeking of any means of profiting. (O. [See also EM pp. 6 and 7.]) One says likewise, ↓ عَلَيْهِ المُعَوَّلُ, meaning [Upon him is placed] reliance. (TA.) A4: See also 4.

A5: And عوّل, (K, and Ham p. 125,) or عوّل عَالَةً, (S, O,) inf. n. تَعْوِيلٌ, (K,) signifies He (a pastor, Ham) made, or constructed, a shelter from the rain, termed عالة, (S, O, K, and Ham * ubi suprà,) by binding some branches of a tree to some branches of a tree near to the former, and then covering them with small lopped wood such as is used for firewood. (Ham.) 4 أعَالَهُمْ: see 1, first sentence.

A2: اعال and أعْوَلَ and أَعْيَلَ as intrans.: see 1, former half, in six places.

A3: اعال الفَرَئِضَ or الفَرِيضَةَ: see 1, latter half.

A4: See also 2, former half.

A5: أَعْوَلَ (Sh, S, O, K) and ↓ عوّل (Sh, O, K) He wept; (O;) as also ↓ اِعْتَوَلَ: (O, K:) or he wailed; i. e. raised his voice with weeping, (S, K,) and cried out; (K;) or wept, and cried out; عَلَيْهِ for him: (Sh, O, Msb:) and an instance occurs, in a verse of 'Obeyd-Allah Ibn-'Abd-Allah Ibn-'Otbeh, cited by Th, of اعول trans. by itself, عَلَى

being suppressed. (TA.) b2: [Hence,] one says also, أَعْوَلَتِ القَوْسُ (assumed tropical:) The bow produced a sound: (S, M, O, K, TA:) in some lexicons, as in the L, erroneously, الفَرَسُ. (TA.) A6: And اعال and أَعْوَلَ (Az, O, K, and S in art. مُعْوِلٌ) and مُعْيِلٌ (K) signify He (a man, K) desired vehemently, eagerly, greedily, very greedily, or with avidity; or did so excessively, or culpably; or coveted; (Az, S, O, K;) part. ns. ↓ مُعْوِلٌ and ↓ مُعْيِلٌ. (TA.) 8 اِعْتَوَلَ: see the next preceding paragraph.

عَالٌ a word occurring in the saying مَا لَهُ عَالٌ وَلَا مَالٌ, which means He has not anything belonging to him. (K.) عَوْلٌ: see عَوِيلٌ. b2: عَوْلَ is a word like وَيْبَ: one says, عَوْلَكَ and عَوْلَ زَيْدٍ [i. e. May God decree thy woe and the woe of Zeyd, virtually meaning woe to thee and woe to Zeyd]: (S, O, K:) and عَوْلٌ لِزَيْدٍ [lit. meaning Woe to Zeyd]: (S, O:) or, accord. to Sb and others, عَوْلَ is used only as a sequent to وَيْلَ; they said وَيْلَهُ وَعَوْلَهُ; in which, Az says, ويل and عول both signify weeping, or lamentation with tears; and Aboo-Tálib says that they are put in the accus. case as expressive of an imprecation and of blame, like as is done in the sayings وَيْلًا لَهُ and تُرَابًا لَهُ. (TA.) A2: Also Any affair, or event, that renders one anxious: (K, * TA:) app. an inf. n. used thus as a subst. (TA.) A3: And One whose aid is asked (K, TA) in affairs of difficulty or importance. (TA. [See also مُعَوَّلٌ.]) A4: And The food of a family or household. (K.) عَوَلٌ: see the next paragraph.

عِوَلٌ is [said to be] a subst. signifying Reliance, and confidence: (S, * K, TA:) and [it is said that]

هُوَ عِوَلِى signifies He is my stay, or support: the word, however, occurs in this form, twice, in a verse of Taäbata-sharrà, accord. to the relation thereof by Aboo-'Ikrimeh; but accord. to others it is ↓ عَوَلٌ, with fet-h to the ع and و, and is said to be an inf. n.; whereas the former is said to be pl. of ↓ عَوْلَةٌ; [and the two words signify, respectively, a weeping and weepings; for] by his saying لٰكِنَّمَا عَِوَلِى إِنْ عَِوَلٍ the poet means If I wept for any one, I would weep &c. (TA.) b2: And عِوَلٌ is also a subst. signifying An asking for aid. (K, TA.) عَالَةٌ A ظُلَّة [or covering], (K,) or a thing like a ظُلَّة, (S, O,) used as a shelter from the rain, (S, O, K,) constructed with cuttings of trees [in a manner described above: see 2, last sentence]. (TA.) b2: And i. q. نَعَامَةٌ, (Kr, K,) either as meaning The species of animal thus called [i. e. an ostrich], or as meaning a ظُلَّة, for thus نَعَامَةٌ also signifies. (TA.) A2: [As a pl.: see عِيَالٌ.]

A3: See also art. عيل.

عَوْلَةٌ: see the next paragraph, in two places: and see also عِوَلٌ.

عَوِيلٌ A wailing; i. e. a raising of the voice with weeping; as also ↓ عَوْلٌ and ↓ عَوْلَةٌ: (S, O, K:) or a weeping and crying out: (Msb:) and sometimes it signifies a cry, or voice, from the chest, without weeping: (O, TA:) and sometimes ↓ عَوْلَةٌ signifies the burning sensation of grief and of love, without a raising of the voice and without weeping. (TA.) [See also عَوَّالٌ.]

A2: Also Weak: b2: and hence it is used as a name for One of the ropes of a ship or boat. (TA.) عِيَالٌ, belonging to this art. and to art. عيل; (K, mentioned in the S and O in the latter art.;) or its ى is substituted for و, for it is from عَالَ, aor. ـُ in the first of the senses expl. above, and seems to be an inf. n. used in the sense of a pass. part. n.; (IB, TA;) [and if so, it may be used as a sing. (as it is in the Ksh and by Bd in xvi. 78 and in the S and Mgh &c. voce كَلٌّ and in the O and K voce حَمِيلَةٌ) and also as a pl.; but in general] it signifies A family, or household; (Msb;) [i. e.,] a man's عِيَال are the persons whom he feeds, nourishes, or sustains; (S, O, Msb, K;) or the persons who dwell with him, and whose expenses are incumbent on him, as his young man, or slave, his wife, and his young child: (KT:) and ↓ عَيِّلٌ signifies the same: (K:) or this latter (which is originally عَيْوِلٌ, TA) is sing. of عِيَالٌ x(S, Mgh, O, Msb) and of عَيَائِلُ, (S, O,) like as جَيِّدٌ is sing. of جِيَادٌ (S, Mgh, O, Msb) and of جَيَائِدُ; (S, O;) the last being a pl. pl., (K in art. عيل,) [as also عِيَالَاتٌ, of which see an ex. voce

أزْمَلٌ;] but is sometimes used as a pl., for عَشَرَةُ عَيِّلٍ, accord. to an ex. in a trad., signifies ten persons fed, nourished, or sustained, by a man: (TA:) or the pl. [of ↓ عَيِّلٌ] is عَالَةٌ, (Kr, K,) [like as سَادَةٌ is said to be pl. of سَيِّدٌ,] or, accord. to ISd, it is pl. of عَائِلٌ, [q. v. in art. عيل, and in like manner سَادَةٌ is held by him to be pl. of سَائِدٌ, not of سَيِّدٌ,] for [he says that] a word of the measure فَيْعِلٌ never forms a pl. [like عَالَةٌ, which is] of the measure فَعَلَةٌ; (TA;) and [عَيَائِلُ is applied to women, for] one says نِسْوَةٌ عَيَائِلُ. (K.) العِيَالُ [as meaning (assumed tropical:) The dependants for sustenance] is also used, metaphorically, in relation to birds, and to predaceous and other beasts. (TA.) And أُمُّ العِيَالِ is a name for (assumed tropical:) The cooking-pot. (T in art. ام.) عَوَالَةٌ Want: and intrusion at feasts, uninvited. (TA.) عَوَّالٌ A weeping: an inf. n.

عتم

1 عَتڤمَ The primary signification of the inf. n. عَتْمٌ in the [genuine] language of the Arabs is that of Tarrying [or delaying]: and of withholding, or restricting, or limiting, oneself. (TA.) See 2, in three places. [Hence,] one says, غَرَسْتُ الوَدِىَّ فَمَا عَتَمَ مِنْهَا شَىْءٌ i. e. [I planted the shoots of palm-trees,] and not any of them was slow or tardy [in its growth]. (S.) And عَتَمَتْ حَاجَتُهُ The object of his want was, or became, slow or tardy [of accomplishment]; as also ↓ أَعْتَمَتْ. (TA.) b2: عَتَمَ اللَّيْلُ, (S, K,) aor. ـِ (S, TA,) inf. n. عَتْمٌ, (TA,) The night was, or became, dark, in the period termed عَتَمَة: (S:) or a portion of the night passed; as also ↓ اعتم: (K:) the latter mentioned by IAar. (TA.) b3: and عَتَمَتِ الإِبِلُ, aor. ـِ and عَتُمَ, The camels were milked at nightfall [i. e. at the commencement of the عَتَمَة]; as also ↓ أَعْتَمَت and ↓ استعتمت. (K.) b4: See also 4.2 تَعْتِيمٌ and ↓ عَتْمٌ signify The being slow, or tardy. (S.) You say, عتّم قِرَاهُ and ↓ عَتَمَ His entertainment for his guest, or guests, was, or became, slow, or tardy; syn. أَبْطَأَ [not أَبْطَأَ بِهِ]: (S, K:) and he delayed it: (TA: [but this, though virtually a correct rendering, is app. not so literally:]) and ↓ اعتم likewise has the former meaning: (K:) or قِرَى الضَيْفِ ↓ اعتم signifies he delayed the entertainment of the guest. (S.) and مَا عَتَّمَ أَنْ فَعَلَ كَذَا He delayed not, or was not slow, to do, or in doing, such a thing. (S, K. *) And حَاجَتَهُ ↓ اعتم He delayed [the accomplishment of] the object of his want. (TA.) b2: and عتّم عَنْهُ He refrained, forbore, abstained, or desisted, from it, (S, K,) namely, an affair, (S,) after having made progress therein; as also ↓ اعتم; and ↓ عَتَمَ, aor. ـِ (K, TA,) inf. n. عَتْمٌ: (TA:) or this last signifies he withheld himself from doing it, meaning, a thing that he desired: (K:) and ↓ اعتم signifies he delayed to do it. (TA.) and [hence] one says, ضَرَبَهُ فَمَا عَتَّمَ, (S,) and حَمَلَ عَلَيْهِ فَمَ عَتَّمَ, (S, K,) i. e. [He beat him, and he attacked him,] and did not withhold, or restrict, or limit, himself, in beating him, [and in attacking him,] (S,) or and did not recede, or draw back, or desist: (K, TA:) the vulgar say, ضَرَبَهُ فَمَا عَتَّبَ. (S.) b3: See also 4.4 أَعْتَمَ see 2, in five places: and see also 1, in three places. b2: اعتم (S, Msb) from العَتَمَةُ (S) is like أَصْبَحَ from الصُّبْحُ; (S, Msb; *) i. e. it signifies He entered upon the period termed عَتَمَة; (Msb;) as also ↓ عَتَمَ, inf. n. ↓ عَتْمٌ: (TA:) or he journeyed in that period; (K, TA;) and so ↓ عتّم: (S, K, TA:) or both signify he became in the period: (TA:) or he brought [his camels] to the watering-place and [in the CK “ or ”] he brought [them] back therefrom in that period; (K, TA;) and did any kind of work or action [therein]. (TA.) 8 إِعْتَتَمَ [اِعْتَتَمَتِ الإِبِلُ, accord. to Golius, (whom Freytag has followed in this instance,) signifies the same as اِسْتَعْتَمَت, as on the authority of the K, in which I do not find it. He probably found the former verb thus written erroneously for أَعْتَمَت in this sense, which he has not mentioned.]10 استعتمهُ He deemed him, or reckoned him, slow, or tardy. (Z, TA.) b2: اِسْتَعْتِمُوا نَعَمَكُمْ حَتَّى

تُفِيقَ means Delay ye the milking of your camels, or cattle, until the milk shall have collected: (K, TA:) for they used to bring back their camels a little after sunset to their nightly resting-place, and make them to lie down there a while, until, when their milk had collected, after a portion of the night had passed, they roused them and milked them. (TA.) A2: استعتمت الإِبِلُ: see 1.

(TA.) عَتَمٌ: see عَتَمَةٌ, first sentence: A2: and see also عُتْمٌ.

عُتُمٌ: see عُتْمٌ.

عَتَمَةٌ Slowness, or tardiness: (IB, TA:) hence the saying of a rájiz, بِذِى سَلَمْ طَيْفٌ أَلَمْ بَيْنَ الخَيَمْ ↓ يَسْرِى عَتَمْ meaning يَسْرِى بَطِيْئًا, [i. e. A phantom visited (أَلَمْ being for أَلَمَّ) in Dhoo-Selem, journeying by night slowly amid the tents,] the ة of عَتَمَة [i. e.

عَتَمَةً] being elided. (TA. [But عَتَمٌ is also mentioned in the TA, in the beginning of this art., not as being originally عَتَمَةٌ, but simply as a subst. in the sense expl. above.]) A2: [Also, in its most usual sense,] The first third of the night, after the disappearance of the شَفَق [or redness that is seen in the sky after sunset]; (Kh, S, Msb, K;) the first part of the night, after the setting of the light of the شَفَق: (Msb:) or the time of the prayer of nightfall: (S, K:) but the calling of that prayer the prayer of the عَتَمَة, as the Arabs of the desert called it, instead of calling it the prayer of the عِشَآء, is said to be forbidden in a trad. (TA.) b2: عَتَمَةُ رُبَعٍ [The عتمة of a young camel brought forth in the رَبِيع, which is the beginning of the breeding-time], (S, K,) meaning the space during which it (i. e. the رُبَع) is confined at its evening-feed, (K,) is applied to the moonlight of the night when the moon is four nights old. (S, K.) Az says, The Arabs say in relation to the moon when it is one night old, عَتَمَةُ سُخَيْلَةٍ حَلَّ أَهْلُهَا بِرُمَيْلَةٍ [The عتمة of a little lamb or kid, the owners of which have alighted in a small tract of sand]; meaning that it does not long continue; like the lamb, or kid, that sucks its mother and soon returns to the sucking: and when it is two nights old, حَدِيثُ أَمَتَيْنِ بِكَذِبٍ وَمَيْنٍ [The discourse of two female slaves, with lying and falsehood]; because their discourse is not long, by reason of their being busied with the serving of their owners: and when it is three nights old, حَدِيثُ فَتَيَاتٍ غَيْرِ مُؤْتَلِفَاتٍ [The discourse of young women not united by affection]: and when it is four nights old, عَتَمَةُ رُبَعٍ غَيْرِ جَائِعٍ

وَلَا مُرْضَعٍ [The عتمة of a ربع (expl. above) not hungry nor suckled]; meaning that it is limited to the space of the فُوَاق [or time between two suckings] of this ربع or of the فواق [or time between two milkings] of its mother; or, as IAar says, عَتَمَةُ أُمِّ الرُّبَعِ [The عتمة of the mother of the ربع]: and when it is five nights old, حَدِيثٌ وَأُنْسٌ وَبَقَآءُ عَشَآءِ خَلِفَاتٍ قُعْسٍ [Discourse and sociableness, and the continuance of the evening-feed of pregnant camels having their heads and necks inclining towards their backs: see also art. قعس]: and when it is six nights old, يَسْرٌ وَبَتٌّ [app. A twisting and a grinding by a turning towards the left and from the left; as though meaning that it is a time fit for active employment]: and when it is seven nights old, دُلْجَةُ الضَّبُعِ [The night-journeying of the hyena]: and when it is eight nights old, قَمَرٌ إِضْحِيَانٌ [A bright moon]: and when it is nine nights old, يُلْقَطُ فِيهِ الجَزْعُ [The onyx is picked up in it, being distinguishable by the light of the moon]: and when it is ten nights old, مُخَنِّقُ الفَجْرِ [lit. The choker of the dawn; as though its light were about to overtake, and grapple with, that of daybreak]. (TA.) [It should be observed that every one of these ten sayings is fancifully framed so as to rhyme, perfectly or imperfectly, with words preceding it: the first being preceded by اِبْنُ لَيْلَةٍ; the second, by اِبْنُ لَيْلَتَيْنِ; the third, by اِبْنُ ثَلَاثٍ; the fourth, by اِبْنُ أَرْبَعٍ; and so on.] b3: عَتَمَةٌ signifies also The darkness of the night: (S, K, TA:) or the darkness of the first part of the night, [after nightfall, i. e.] after the setting of the light of the شَفَق [or redness that is seen in the sky after sunset]: and the vulgar [sometimes] pronounce it عَتْمَة. (TA.) b4: And The remains of the milk that has collected in the udders of the camels, or of the camels and other cattle, at the period thus termed. (S, ISd, K.) One says, حَلَبْنَا عَتَمَةً [We milked some remains of what had collected in the udders &c.]. (S, TA.) and حُلِبَتْ عَتَمَتُهَا The milk that was obtained from them at the period termed the عَتَمَة was drawn. (TA, from the trad. of Aboo-Dharr.) and قَعَدَ عِنْدَنَا فُلَانٌ قَدْرَ عَتَمَةِ الحَلَائِبِ i. e. [Such a one sat with us, or at our abode,] as long as the space during which the milch camels are confined for the purpose of the collecting of the milk in their udders.

(TA.) عِصْمَةُ الأَنْبِيَآءِ signifies God's preservation of the prophets; first, by the peculiar endowment of them with essential purity of constitution; then, by the conferring of large and highly-esteemed excellences; then, by aid against opponents, and rendering their feet firm; then, by sending down upon them tranquillity (السَّكِينَة, q. v.), [see the Kur ix. 26, &c.,] and the preservation of their hearts, or minds, and adaptation to that which is right. (Er-Rá- ghib, TA.) b2: Also [A defence as meaning] a defender from a state of perdition and from want: so in a saying of Aboo-Tálib, in praise of the Prophet, cited voce ثِمَالٌ.

إِدَاوَة: and the loop-shaped handle that serves for the suspending of the [bag, or other receptacle, for travelling-provisions or for goods or utensils &c. called] وِعَآء: (K:) and anything that serves for the protection, or preservation, of a thing: (TA:) pl. [of pauc.] أَعْصِمَةٌ and [of mult.] عُصْمٌ, (K, TA,) or عُصُمٌ, (Msb, and so in some copies of the K,) and عِصَامٌ, like the sing., of the class of دِلَاصٌ: (Az, K:) but Az states, as what had been heard [app. by him] from the Arabs, respecting the عُصْم of [the leathern water-bags called]

مَزَاد, that they are the cords that are fixed in the loops of the pairs of water-bags, and with which they are tied when they are bound upon the back of the camel; after which the [rope called] رِوَآء is bound over them: they are erroneously said by Lth to be the طَرَائِق [app. meaning borders] of the extremity of the مَزَادَة [or leathern water-bag], at the place of the كُلْيَة [or kidney-shaped piece of leather to which a loop is sewed]. (TA. [See also خُصْمٌ.]) Mention is made, in a trad., of a place where a camel was shackled with عُصْم, as meaning that its abundance of herbage confined him so that he would not go away in search of pasturage. (TA.) b2: Also The cord, or bond, of the [vehicle called] مَحْمِل, (K, * TA,) which is bound at the extremity of [each of the transverse pieces of wood called] the عَارِضَانِ [correctly عَارِضَتَانِ], in the upper part of each of these: [for,] as Lth says, there are two of such cords, or bonds: and Az says that the عِصَامَانِ of the مَحْمِل are like those of the [pair of leathern water-bags called] مَزَادَتَانِ. (TA.) b3: And The slender part of the end of the tail; (M, K;) and عِضَامٌ is a dial. var. thereof: (TA: [but see the latter:]) or the tail with its hair and its عَسِيب [q. v.]: (ISh, TA:) pl. أَعْصِمَةٌ. (K.) b4: See also عُصْمَةٌ, in two places. b5: Also Collyrium: (K, TA:) mentioned on the authority of El-Muärrij: so called because it defends and strengthens the eye. (TA.) عَصُومٌ Edacious; voracious; (K, TA;) applied to a she-camel; (TA;) and ↓ عَيْصُومٌ signifies the same, (K, TA,) applied to a human being, male and female; (TA;) the latter occurring in the saying of a rájiz, applied to an old woman, (S, TA,) and said to have this meaning, (S,) but as some relate it, the word is there with ض; (S, TA;) and عَيْضُومٌ signifies thus accord. to Kr, applied to a woman: عَيْصُومٌ, however, is of higher authority: (TA in art. عضم:) ↓ عَيْصَامٌ also signifies the same, applied to a man. (TA.) b2: Also A female whose family, or household, have become numerous. (Az, TA.) عَصِيمٌ: see عُصْمٌ. b2: Also Sweat: (K:) or, accord. to Lth, rust [that is an effect] of sweat. (TA.) b3: And Dirt, and urine that dries, upon the thighs of camels, (K, TA,) so as to become like the road, in thickness. (TA.) b4: And Black hair that grows beneath the fur of the camel when it falls off (إِذَا انْتَسَلَ [perhaps a mistranscription for اذا أَنْسَلَ]). (K.) b5: And The leaves of trees. (IB, TA.) عِصَامِىٌّ [a rel. n. used as meaning Of the class of 'Isám; and hence, self-ennobled]. عِصَامٌ is the name of a chamberlain of En-Noamán Ibn-ElMundhir: and [in relation to him] it is said in a prov., كُنْ عِصَامِيًّا وَلَا تَكُنْ عِظَامِيًّا, (S, K, TA,) [the former clause meaning Be thou of the class of 'Isám, i. e. be thou self-ennobled, and] the latter clause meaning and be not of those who glory in old and wasted and crumbling bones, [i. e. in their ancestors,] (TA,) alluding to his saying, [so in the S and K and TA, but correctly the saying of En-Nábighah, (see Har p. 297,)]

نَفْسُ عِصَامٍ سَوَّدَتْ عِصَامَا وَعَلَّمَتْهُ الكَرَّ وَالإِقْدَامَا [The soul of 'Isám ennobled 'Isám, and taught him the art of attack, and boldness]. (S, K, TA.) And [hence] one says also, فُلَانٌ عِصَامِىٌّ وَعِظَامِىٌّ i. e. Such a one is noble in respect of soul, or self, and of origin. (A, TA.) عَاصِمٌ [act. part. n. of عَصَمَ, signifying] Defending [&c.], or a defender [&c.]. (TA.) لَا عَاصِمَ اليَوْمَ مِنْ أَمْرِاللّٰهِ, in the Kur [xi. 45], may mean There is no defender [this day from the decree of God]: (TA:) or the meaning may be, no [person] defended: or no possessor of defence: (S, TA:) so that عاصم may be an instance of فَاعِل in the sense of مَفْعُوا: (S:) or it may thus be a possessive epithet. (TA. [See also دَافِقٌ.]) b2: [Hence,] العَاصِمَةُ is a name of El-Medeeneh. (K.) b3: أَبُو عَاصِمٍ is an appellation of The meal of parched barley or the like (السَّوِيق). (S, K.) And also The food called سِكْبَاج [q. v.]. (K.) عَيْصَامٌ: see عَصُومٌ.

عَيْصُومٌ: see عَصُومٌ b2: Also A woman who sleeps long, and speaks angrily when she is roused. (TA.) أَعْصَمُ A gazelle, and a mountain-goat, having in his arms, (As, T, S, K,) or in one of them, (AO, S, M, K,) a whiteness, (S, K,) the rest of him being red or black: (K:) or a goat white in the fore legs, or in the fore leg: (Az, TA:) fem.

عَصْمَآءُ: (S, K:) and pl. عُصْمٌ. (S.) b2: And A horse white in the fore leg: (As, TA:) or having a whiteness in one of his fore legs, above the pastern: (ISh, TA:) or having a whiteness in his fore shanks: (Ham p. 18:) or having a whiteness in one of his fore legs, (S, TA,) but not in his hind legs, (TA,) little or much; in which case he is termed أَعْصَمُ اليُمْنَى or اليُسْرَى [white in respect of the right fore leg or of the left]: when the whiteness is in both of his fore legs, he is termed أَعْصَمُ اليَدَيْنِ [white in respect of the two fore legs]; unless having a blaze in his face, in which case he is termed مُحَجَّلٌ, not أَعْصَمُ; (S, TA;) though a blaze in his face does not cause him to be termed مُحَجَّلٌ when the whiteness is in one fore leg. (S.) b3: And A crow having a white feather in its wing; (S, K; [in some copies of the K, in its two wings;]) i. e., in one of its wings: (TA:) because the wing of the bird corresponds to the fore leg [of the beast]: (S, TA:) or white in the wings: (ISh, IAth, TA:) or white in the legs: (TA:) or red (أَحْمَر) in the legs and beak; (Az, K, TA;) and this is said by Az to be the correct explanation; [but] he adds that the Arabs term بَيَاض [i. e. whiteness] حَمْرَة [which properly signifies redness], saying of a woman of white complexion that she is حَمْرَآء: [so that by the last of the foregoing explanations of أَعْصَمُ applied to a crow is app. meant white in the legs and beak:] the Prophet is said to have explained this epithet, thus applied, as meaning of which one of the legs is white: (TA:) some say that الغُرَابُ الأَعْصَمُ is like الأَبْلَقُ العَقُوقُ and بَيْضُ الأَنوقِ, applied to anything that is rarely found: (S, TA:) it occurs in a number of trads.; and a righteous woman is likened thereto. (TA.) مِعْصَمٌ The part, of the fore arm, which is the place of the bracelet; (S, Msb, K;) [the wrist: pl. مَعَاصِمُ:] in a citation from a poet (voce عَرَقَ), المَعَاصِيم is used by poetic license for المَعَاصِم. (L in art. عرق.) b2: And The يَد [meaning arm]; (K, TA;) used in this sense in a verse of ElAashà. (TA.) A2: Also, thus without the article ال, a name for The she-goat; which is called to be milked by one's saying مِعْصَمْ مِعْصَمْ, with the last letter quiescent. (K.) مُعْتَصَمٌ A place of defence, protection, or preservation. (Ksh and Bd in xi. 45.)
