1 عَلَا, (
Msb,
K,)
aor. ـْ (
Msb,)
inf. n. عُلُوٌّ; (
Msb,
K;) and عَلِىَ; and ↓ تعلّى [which last see also below]; (
K;) It (a thing,
Msb) was, or became, high, elevated, or lofty; (
Msb,
K; *)
syn. اِرْتَفَعَ; (
Msb;) and so ↓ تعالى: (
S,
K:) or you say, عَلَا فِى المَكَانِ [it was, or became, high, or elevated, in place],
aor. ـْ
inf. n. عُلُوٌّ: (
S:) and عَلِىَ فِى الشَّرَفِ [(assumed
tropical:) he was, or became, high, or elevated, or exalted, in dignity, or nobility], (
S,
Mgh,) with kesr, (
S,)
aor. ـْ
inf. n. عَلَآءٌ; (

aor. ـْ a poet says, لَمَّا عَلَا كَعْبُكَ لِى عَلِيتُ [(assumed
tropical:) When thy nobility became exalted to me, I became exalted]; thus combining the two
dial. vars.: (
S:) or you say, عَلِىَ فِى المَكَارِمِ [(assumed
tropical:) he was, or became, eminent in generous, or honourable, actions or qualities],
inf. n. عَلَآءٌ [in some copies of the
K عَلًا]; (
Msb,
K;) and عَلَا,
inf. n. عُلُوٌّ; (
K;) and thus the two verbs are used in the saying of the poet cited above: (
TA:) and ↓ استعلى, said of a man, signifies the same as عَلَا. (
S.) [Hence,] عَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ The sun became high; as also ↓ اِعْتَلَت: (Nawádir el-Aaráb,
TA in art. دلك:) and [hence,] عَلَا النَّهَارُ The day became advanced, the sun being somewhat high;
syn. اِرْتَفَعَ [
q. v.]; as also ↓ اعتلى and ↓ استعلى. (
K.)
b2: عَلَا فِى المَكَانِ,
inf. n. عُلُوٌّ, signifies [also] He ascended the place, or upon the place;
syn. صَعِدَ: and عَلَوْتُ عَلَى الجَبَلِ and عَلَوْتُ أَعْلَاهُ are
syn. [as meaning I ascended the mountain, or upon the mountain, or upon the top, or highest part, thereof]: and عَلَوْتُهُ and عَلَوْتُ فِيهِ signify I ascended it;

S,
K,
TA,) and ↓ اعتلاهُ, (
S,) and ↓ اِعْلَوْلَاهُ, and ↓ اعلاهُ, and ↓ علّاه, (
K,
TA,) this last [for which the
CK has عالاهُ] being with teshdeed, (
TA,) and ↓ عالاهُ and بِهِ ↓ عالى, (
K,
TA, [in the
CK عالَّاهُ وبه,]) are
syn., (
S,
K,) signifying He ascended it, or upon it; (
K; [in the
CK صَعَّدَهُ, and so in my
MS. copy of the
K, but in other copies صَعِدَهُ, which is certainly the right reading;]) whether the object be a mountain or a beast: (
TA:) [or] you say, عَلَا الدَّابَّةَ He mounted the beast; (
K,
TA;) and in like manner, anything: (
TA:) and عَلَى السَّطْحَ,

TA;)
inf. n. عَلْىٌ (

TA) and عِلْىٌ (
TA, and so
accord. to some copies of the

K instead of عِلْىٌ;) He ascended upon the flat house-top;
syn. صَعِدَهُ. (

tropical:) I did not ask, or demand, of thee, what would lie as a burden on thy back; or] what would be onerous, burdensome, oppressive, or troublesome, to thee. (
TA.)
b4: And [hence also] عَلَاهُ It over-topped it, rose above it, or exceeded it in height. (
TA in art. دصر.) [And in like manner, ↓ استعلى

tropical:) he gained the mastery over the object of his want: and ↓ اعتلى
الشَّىْءَ (assumed
tropical:) he prevailed against the thing, or had power over it, and overcame it; and عَلَا لِلشَّىْءِ,
aor. ـْ (assumed
tropical:) he was, or became, able to do, or accomplish, or to bear, the thing. (
TA.) عَلَا بِالأَمْرِ means اِضْطَلَعَ بِهِ وَاسْتَقَلَّ [i. e. (assumed
tropical:) He had strength, or power, sufficient for the affair, and had absolute control over it]: (
S: [so in one of my copies: the other has اِطَّلَعَ, which I find also in the
PS and in my copy of the
TA; and which is allowed by some, but disallowed by others, in the sense of اِضْطَلَعَ, as is shown
voce مُضْطَلِعٌ:]) a poet says, فَاعْمِدْ لِمَا تَعْلُو فَمَا لَكَ بِالَّذِى
لَا تَسْتَطِيعُ مِنَ الأُمُورِ يَدَانِ [Then aim thou at that for which thou hast sufficient strength, or power, and over which thou hast absolute control: (بِهِ being understood after تعلو:) for what object hast thou in meddling with that which a pair of hands cannot accomplish, of affairs?]. (
S.) [And hence, perhaps,] one says to him who possesses much property, اعل به i. e. ابق بعده [
app. اُعْلُ بِهِ and اِبْقَ بَعْدَهُ, as though meaning (assumed
tropical:) Have thou ability to consume it, and so survive thou it; like as one says to him who puts on a new garment, أَبْلِ (see 4 in art. بلو)]: or [perhaps a mistake for “ and ”] it is [virtually] a prayer for his continuance in life. (
TA.)
b7: عَلَوْتُ عَلَى فُلَانٍ الرِّيحَ means I was [or went] on the windward side of such a one: and one says, لَا تَعْلُ الرِّيحَ عَلَى الصَّيْدِ فَيَرَاحَ رِيحَكَ وَيَنْفِرَ [i. e. Go not thou on the windward side of the game, lest it scent thy odour, and take fright and flee]. (
TA.)
b8: عَلَوْتُهُ بِالسَّيْفِ means I smote him [with the sword; or, more properly, I set upon him therewith]. (
S,
TA.) And [in like manner] one says, عَلَاهُ بِالشَّتْمِ وَالضَّرْبِ [(assumed
tropical:) He set upon him, or assailed him, or overcame him, with reviling and beating]. (
S and
M in art. ثول, &c.)
b9: عَلَا فِى
الأَرْضِ, (
S,
TA,)
inf. n. عُلُوٌّ, (
S,) signifies (assumed
tropical:) He exalted, or magnified, himself, [in the earth,] or behaved proudly, insolently, or exorbitantly. (

b10: عَلَا عَنْهُ [

2 علّاهُ: see 4.
b2: [Hence,] one says, عَلَّيْتُ بِهِ عَلَى البَعِيرِ [I raised it, and put it, upon the camel]: (
S:) [and so ↓ عَالَيْتُهُ; as in a verse cited
voce رَائِحٌ, in art. روح; in which, and in the present art., it is cited in the
S and
TA: and ↓ عَالَبْتُ بِهِ; as in a verse cited
voce إِلَى in the sense of مِنْ, in art. الو:] and عَلَىَّ ↓ عَالِ means اِحْمِلْ [i. e. Put thou upon me such a thing to be carried by me; or load thou me]. (
S,
K.)
b3: And عَلَّيْتُ الحَبْلَ,
inf. n. تَعْلِيَةٌ, I raised the cord to its proper place in respect of the channel of the sheave, and in respect of the [main] well-rope. (
S.)
b4: And علّى الدَّلْوَ,
inf. n. as above, He raised the bucket from a stone projecting in the lower part of the casing of a well [and impeding its ascent]; he having descended the well for that purpose: [or simply he raised the filled bucket; for] some say that ↓ المُعَلِّىsignifies he who raises the filled bucket; i. e., who draws water thereby. (
TA.)
b5: And علّى المَتَاعَ عَنِ الدَّابَّةِ He put down the goods, or furniture and utensils, from the beast: [
app. because he who does so lifts them off the beast:] (
K,
TA:) أَعْلَاهُ in this sense is disapproved. (
TA.)
b6: See also 1, former half.
b7: And see
Q. Q. 1.
3 مُعَالَاةٌ signifies (assumed
tropical:) The vying, competing, or contending for superiority, in highness, loftiness, elevation, or eminence. (

b5: See 2, in three places.
b6: عَالَتِ البَيْقُورَ, occurring in a verse of Umeiyeh Ibn-Abi-s-Salt, is mentioned and explained in the
S in this art. and in art. عول: see the latter art. [to which it seems more properly to belong].
b7: See 1, former half, in two places.
b8: عَالِ عَنِّى Remove thou, or go thou away or aside, from me; as also عَنِّى ↓ أَعْلِ; (
S,
TA;) for which latter, أَعْلِ عَنِّجْ occurs in a
trad. respecting the slaughter of Abu-Jahl; and عَنِّى ↓ اُعْلُ with the conjunctive ا is a
dial. var. of أَعْلِ عَنِّى
with the disjunctive ا mentioned by
Fr. (
TA.)
b9: [Hence,] one says, عَنَّا ↓ أَعْلِ and عَالِ [i. e. and عَالِ عَنَّا], meaning (assumed
tropical:) Seek the object of thy want at the hands of other than us (عِنْدَ غَيْرِنَا), for we are not able to accomplish it. (

K,) i. e. [to] El-Hijáz and what is next to it. (
S.) 4 اعلاهُ He (a man,
Msb) elevated it (i. e. a thing,
Msb); or made it high, or lofty; (
Msb,

K,) with teshdeed, (
TA,) and بِهِ ↓ عَلَا [without teshdeed]: (
K:) it is [also] said of God, meaning (assumed

S:) and بِفُلَانٍ ↓ عَالَيْتُ signifies the same as أَعْلَيْتُهُ [(assumed
tropical:) I elevated, or exalted, such a one; as also,
app., (see 4 in art. ظهر,) أَعْلَيْتُ بِفُلَانٍ]. (
Ham p. 175.) Hence one says, أَعْلَى اللّٰهُ كَعْبَهُ [(

K,) and passed forth, (
Mgh,) from her state of impurity consequent upon childbirth; (

Mgh; and
TA in art. عل;) and so تَعَالَّتْ, as well as تَعَلَّلَتْ: (
K and
TA in that art.:) or مِنْ مَرَضِهَا from her disease: (
K:) or you say of a woman, تعلّت من نفاسها meaning [as above or] she became pure from the effects of her childbirth: (
TA:) and of a man you say, تعلّى مِنْ عِلَّتِهِ (
S,
TA) he recovered from his disease. (

b2: Addressing a man, (
S,
Msb,) using the
imperative form, you say, تَعَالَ, (
S,
Msb,
K,) with fet-h to the ل, (
S,
K,) originally meaning Be thou elevated, (
S,
Msb,) and said by a man in a high place in calling a man in a low place; (
Msb;) then, by reason of frequency of usage, employed in the sense of هَلُمَّ [meaning Come thou], (
S,
Msb,) absolutely, whether the place of the person called be high or low or on the same level; so that it is originally applied to denote a particular meaning, and then used in a general meaning: (
Msb:) and to a woman one says, تَعَالَىْ; (
S,
K;) and to two women, (
S,) or two persons, (
TA,) تَعَالَيَا; (
S,
TA;) and to a
pl. number of men, تَعَالَوْا; (
Msb,
TA;) and to a
pl. number of women, تَعَالَيْنَ; (
S,
Msb,
TA;) and sometimes the ل is pronounced with damm in the
pl. masc., and with kesr in the
fem.; whence El-Hasan El-Basree read, [in the
Kur iii. 57,] قُلْ يَا أَهْلَ الْكِتَابِ تَعَالُوا [Say thou, O people of the Scripture, come ye, the usual reading being تَعَالَوْا], for the sake of congeniality with the و: (
Msb,
TA:) it is not allowable to say تَعَالَيْتُ [as meaning I came], nor to use the prohibitive form; (
S;) but one says, (thus
accord. to several copies of the
S,) or nor does one say, (thus
accord. to one of my copies of the
S, [and
accord. to the
TA, in which it is said that the verb is not used otherwise than in the
imperative form,]) قَدْ تَعَالَيْتُ [as meaning I have come], and إِلَى أَىِّ شَىْءٍ أَتَعَالَى
[as meaning To what thing shall I come? like as one says, إِلَامَ أَهَلُمَّ]. (
S.)
b3: [تعالى signifies also (assumed
tropical:) He was, or became, exalted, or extolled: and (assumed
tropical:) he exalted himself: and in both of these senses it is often followed by عَنْ as
syn. with عَلَى, denoting superiority: you say, تعالى فُلَانٌ عَنْ كَذَا, meaning (assumed
tropical:) Such a one was, or became, exalted above such a thing; or simply, was, or became, above it, i. e. too elevated in character for it: and also, exalted himself above such a thing; or held himself above it.] Said of God, in the
Kur xx. 113 [and in other instances therein], it means [(assumed
tropical:) Exalted, or supremely exalted, is He] in his essence and his attributes, above the created beings. (
Bd.) [But in common speech, it is generally used as an ejaculation of praise, meaning (assumed
tropical:) Exalted or extolled, or supremely exalted or extolled, be He, or his greatness or majesty or glory, or his name; or acknowledged be his absolute supremacy. And the common expression (used in citing words of the
Kur-án) قَالَ تَعَالَى means (assumed
tropical:) He saith, or hath said, exalted or extolled, or supremely exalted or extolled, be He; &c.]

10 إِسْتَعْلَوَ see 1, in seven places. [The
inf. n. اِسْتِعْلَآءٌ, properly denotes Superiority that is perceptible by sense: and tropically, such as is ideal, or perceived by the intellect: see عَلَى, below.]
b2: One says also, هٰذِهِ الكَلِمَةُ تَسْتَعْلِى لِسَانِى, meaning [(assumed

Q. Q. 1 عَلْوَنَ الكِتَابَ, (
S,

inf. n. عَلْوَنَةٌ and عُلْوَانٌ, (
K,)
i. q. عَنْوَنَهُ [He put a superscription, or title, to the book, or writing; or he wrote the superscription, or title, thereof]; (
S,
K;) as also الكِتَابَ ↓ عَلَّى; (
K;) which latter is the more agreeable with
analogy. (
TA.) [See also
Q. Q. 1 in arts. عن and عنو.]
مِنْ عَلُ: see the next paragraph. It also signifies, simply, Above him or it; or in the higher, or highest, part of him or it: thus in a hemistich cited
voce تَحْت. (
Mughnee.) [In all cases,] عَلُ is determinate, and
indecl., with damm for its invariable termination: (
Mughnee,
TA:) [for it is regarded as a
prefixed noun of which the complement is to be understood as to the meaning but not as to the letter:] in the saying of Ows, كَغِرْقِئِ بَيْضٍ كَنَّهُ القَيْضُ مِنْ عَلُو [Like the thin pellicle of eggs, which the shell covers above], the و [in عَلُو] is augmentative, being added to render the rhyme unrestricted: (
S,
TA:) and in the instance of مِنْ عَلُهْ, likewise ending a verse, the ه is that of pausation: for if عَلُ were [really] a
prefixed noun, it would not be thus
indecl. (
Mughnee,
TA.) أَتَيْتُهُ مِنْ عَلِ, (
S, *
K,) whence the saying of Imra-el-Keys cited in the first paragraph of art. حط, (
S,
Mughnee,
TA,) and ↓ مِنْ عَلُ, [respecting which see the next preceding paragraph,] and ↓ مِنْ عَلَا, (
S,
K,) of which a verse cited
voce نَاشَ in art. نوش is an
ex., (
S,
TA,) and ↓ مِنع عَالٍ, signify the same, (
S,
Mughnee,
K,) i. e. مِنْ فَوْقٍ; (
K;) [which, with أَتَيْتُهُ preceding it, means I came to him, or it, from above; and (assumed
tropical:) I overcame, or subdued, him, or it; for] اتاه من فوق and من علو [
app. ↓ من عَلْوٍ (see عَلْوٌ below,) tropically used,] means قَهَرَهُ; (
Ham p. 128;) [but the former is here meant in many, if not in all, instances, as is shown by what follows;] and [in like manner] one says, ↓ أَتَيْتُهُ مِنْ مُعَالٍ; [whence] Dhu-r-Rummeh says, وَنَغَضَانُ الرّحْلِ مِنْ مُعَالِ [And the shaking of the camel's saddle in the upper part]. (
S,
TA.) عَلِ in مِنْ عَلِ is indeterminate [in itself] and
decl. [as being a
prefixed noun of which the complement is to be understood as to the meaning and as to the letter; thus differing from عَلُ in مِنْ عَلُ: if the complement were not to be understood either as to the letter or as to the meaning, one would say مِنْ عَلٍ, originally مِنْ عَلْوٍ]. (
TA.) One says also أَتَيْتُهُ مِنْ عَلِ الدَّارِ, [thus in several copies of the
S, from which one of my copies deviates by erroneously substituting عَلى for عَلِ,] with kesr to the ل, meaning مِنْ عَالِ [or rather مِنْ عَالِ الدَّارِ i. e. I came to him, or it, from the high, or elevated, part of the house or abode]: (
S:) or the using عَل [thus] as a
prefixed noun is a mistake. (
Mughnee.)
b2: And one says, اُزْجُرِ الفَزَّ عَلِ عَلِ and ↓ عَلَا عَلَا [Chide thou the young one of the wild cow, saying عَلِ عَلِ and عَلَا عَلَا]. (
TA.) عَلَا [as a
subst.]: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.
A2: See also عَلَاةٌ.
عَلْوٌ: see عُلْوٌ in five places.
b2: Also A high, or an elevated, state of the base, or foundation, of a building. (
TA.)
b3: And you say, أَخَذَهُ عَلْوًا, meaning (assumed
tropical:) He took him, or it, by force. (
K,
TA.) See also the next but one of the preceding paragraphs.
عُلْوٌ and ↓ عِلْوٌ (
S,
Msb,
K) and ↓ عَلْوٌ (
K) signify The higher, or highest, part (
S,
Msb,
K) of a house, or an abode, (
S,
Msb,) or of a thing; (
K;) as also ↓ عِلْوَةٌ (
K voce سُفْلٌ) and ↓ عُلَاوَةٌ and ↓ عَالِيَةٌ. (
K in the present art.) You say, قَعَدْتُ عُلْوَهُ and ↓ عِلْوَهُ and فِى عُلْوِهِ and ↓ فى عِلْوِهِ [i. e. I sat in the higher, or highest, part of it]. (
TA.) And Aashà-
Báhileh says, إِنِّى أَتَنْنِى لِسَانٌ لَا أُسَرُّ بِهَا لَا عَجَبٌ مِنْهَا وَلَا سُخُرُ ↓مِنْ عَلْوَ (
S,) or, as in one of my copies of the
S, أَسُرُّ and سَخَرُ,) i. e. Verily information has come to me [by which I shall not be rejoiced (or by which I shall not rejoice others,
accord. to the latter reading mentioned above,)] from the higher, or highest, parts of Nejd, (مِنْ أَعْلَى نَجْدٍ, thus in some copies of the
S and in the
TA, but in other copies of the
S the word نَجْدٍ is omitted,) [at which there is no wondering, as at a thing that is improbable, nor any scoffing;] related [thus] with fet-h to the و and with damm thereto and with kesr thereto [i. e. عَلْوَ as above and also ↓ عَلْوُ and ↓ عَلْوِ]. (
S,
TA.)
b2: One says also, هٰذَا شِعْرُ عُلْو [
app. عُلْوٍ], meaning (assumed
tropical:) This is poetry of a high class: or [the last word may be ↓ عَلْوَ or عَلْوُ or عَلْوِ, for it may mean], of the higher, or highest, part of Nejd. (
TA.) عِلْوٌ: see the next preceding paragraph, in three places.
عَلْىٌ: see عَلْيَآءُ.
عِلْىٌ: see عَلِىٌّ.
عَلَى is a
particle and a noun (
Mbr,
S,
Mughnee,
K) and a verb; (
Mbr,
S;) though some assert that it is only a noun, and ascribe this assertion to
Sb: (
Mughnee:) its alif, (
Sb,
S,
Msb,) [which, when it has no affix, is written ى, and] which is originally و, (
Sb,
S,) [like that of إِلَى,
q. v.,] is changed into [what is properly] ى when it has a pronominal affix, (
Sb,
S,
Msb,) as in عَلَيْكَ, (
Sb,
S,) and عَلَيْهِ; (
Msb;) but some of the Arabs [in this case] leave it unchanged, as in the saying of a rájiz, طَارُوا عَلَاهُنَّ فَطِرْ عَلَاهَا [They fled, or have fled, upon them, (referring to camels,) and flee thou upon her]; this, it is said, being of the
dial. of Belhárith Ibn-Kaab. (
Sb,
S.)
b2: As a
particle, it has nine [or more than nine] meanings. (
Mughnee.)
As such, (
Mughnee,) or,
accord. to
Sb, as a noun, (
K,) it denotes الاِسْتِعْلَآء [i. e. superiority] (
Msb, Es-Subkee,
Mughnee,
K,
TA) properly thus termed, (
Msb,) such as is perceptible by sense; (Es-Subkee,
TA;) either with respect to what is signified by the noun governed by it, and this is generally the case, (
Mughnee,) as in the saying [in the
Kur xxiii. 22 and xl. 80], وَعَلَيْهَا وَعَلَى الْفُلْكِ تُحْمَلُونَ [And upon them (referring to camels) and upon the ship, or ships, ye are carried]; (
Mughnee,
K;) or with respect to what is near thereto, as in the saying [in the
Kur xx. 10], أَوْ أَجِدُ عَلَى النَّارِ هُدًى [Or I shall find near upon the fire, i. e. at the fire, a right direction]: (
Mughnee:) and using it to denote الاستعلآء properly thus termed, you say, كُنْتُ عَلَى السَّطْحِ [I was upon the flat house-top]: (
Msb:) [in like manner also,] as denoting الاستعلآء that is perceptible by sense, it occurs in the saying [in the
Kur lv. 26], كُلُّ مَنْ عَلَيْهَا فَانٍ [Every one that is upon it (referring to the earth) is transitory]: (Es-Subkee,
TA:) and you say, عَلَى زَيْدٍ ثَوْبٌ [Upon Zeyd is, or was, a garment], عَلَى being here a
particle; and عَلَا زَيْدًا ثَوْبٌ [A garment was upon Zeyd,] عَلَا being here a verb. (
Mbr,
S.) And it denotes الاستعلآء, likewise, tropically thus termed, (
Msb,
TA,) such as is ideal, or perceived by the intel-lect; (
Msb, Es-Subkee,
Mughnee,
TA;) as in the saying زَيْدٌ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ (
tropical:) [Zeyd, a debt is lying upon him, or incumbent on him, i. e. he owes a debt, لِفُلَانٍ to such a one], that which is ideal being thus likened to that which is corporeal; (
Msb;) and in the phrases عَلَيْنَا أَمْرٌ and عَلَيْنَا مَالٌ, meaning (
tropical:) An affair, or a command, lies, or rests, upon us, or is incumbent on us, and so property, [as due from us, i. e.] the former as a duty and the latter as a debt, i. e. يَثْبُتُ, like as the thing lies, or rests, (يَثْبُتُ,) upon the place; the latter phrase importing responsibility: and ثَبَتَ عَلَيْهِ مَالٌ is also said to mean كَثُرَ [i. e. (assumed
tropical:) property was, or became, much in quantity, or amount, upon him,
app. as a burden imposing upon him responsibility]. (
TA.) And it [likewise] denotes ideal استعلآء in the phrase لَهُمْ عَلَىَّ ذَنْبٌ (
tropical:) [A crime, or an offence, committed upon (or here, as in many other instances, it may be rendered against) me is imputable to them]: (
Mughnee:) and so in the saying [in the
Kur ii. 254 and xvii. 22], فَضَّلْنَا بَعْضَهُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ (
tropical:) [We have made some of them to have superiority over some]. (Es-Subkee,
Mughnee,
TA.) [See also أَنْتَ عَلَى عَيْنِى, and and أَنْتَ عَلَى رَأْسِى,
voce عَيْنٌ, first quarter.]
b3: It also denotes concomitance, like مَعَ; as in the saying [in the
Kur ii. 172], وَآتَى المَالَ عَلَى حُبِّهِ [And giveth property with (or notwithstanding) the love of it]; (
Mughnee,
K;) and so it is said to be used in the phrase, in a
trad. respecting the alms of the breaking of the fast [of Ramadán], عَلَى كُلِّ حُرٍّ وَعَبْدٍ صَاعٌ [With every free man and slave, a sáa], because the alms-gift of the breaking of the fast is not incumbent on the slave, but only on his master; (
IAth,
TA;) and so it is used in the [common] phrase, عَلَى أَنَّنِى رَاضٍ
[With (or notwithstanding) my being pleased, or well pleased, or content]. (
Har p. 13.)
b4: It also denotes transition, (
Mughnee,
K,) like عَنْ; (
Mughnee;) as in the saying (of El-Koheyf El-'Okeylee,
TA), إِذَا رَضِيَتْ عَلَىَّ بَنُو قُشَيْرٍ
لَعَمْرُ اللّٰهِ أَعْجَبَنِى رِضَاهَا [When the sons of Kusheyr shall be pleased, or well pleased, or content, with me, (or rather, if عَلَىَّ here denote transition, with what will proceed from me,) by the everlasting existence of God, their being pleased, &c., will induce in me admiration, or pleasure], (
Mughnee,
K, *
TA,) i. e. عَنِّى; (
Mughnee,
TA;) or it may be that رَضِىَ is made to imply the meaning of عَطَفَ [which is
trans. by means of عَلَى]; (
Mughnee;) or, as
Ks says, it is made to accord with its
contr. سَخِطَ, (
Mughnee,
TA,) by its being made
trans. by means of عَلَى: (
TA:) and so in the saying, فِى لَيْلَةٍ لَا نَرَى بِهَا أَحَدًا يَحْكِى عَلَيْنَا إِلَّا كَوَاكِبَهَا [In a nigh in which we shall not see any one that shall report what will proceed from us, except its stars], i. e., عَنَّا; or it may be said that يَحْكِى is [here] made to imply the meaning of يَنُِمُّ. (
Mughnee.)
b5: It is also used to assign a cause, like ل; as in the saying [in the
Kur ii. 181], وَلِتُكَبِّرُوا اللّٰهَ عَلَى مَا هَدَاكُمْ, (
Mughnee,
K,) meaning لِهِدَايَتِهِ
إِيَّاكُمْ [i. e. And that ye should magnify God for, or on account of, his rightly directing you]; (
Mughnee;) [and in the same, vi. 90, &c., لَا
أَسْأَلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ أَجْرًا i. e. I will not ask of you for it, or on account of it, a recompense;] and as in the saying of Rabee'ah Ibn Makroom Ed-Dabbee, فَدَعَوْا نَزَالِ فَكُنْتُ أَوَّلَ نَازِلٍ
وَعَلَامَ أَرْكَبُهُ إِذَا لَمْ أَنْزِلِ i. e. [And they called out, “Alight; ” and I was the first of any alighting:] and for what [or wherefore] do I ride him if I do not alight when called upon to do so? (
Ham p. 29. [عَلَامَ is here, as usually, for عَلَى مَ.])
b6: It is also used in the sense of فِى [generally followed by a noun significant of time]; (
S,
Mughnee,
K; *) as in the saying [in the
Kur xxviii. 14], وَدَخَلَ الْمَدِينَةَ عَلَى حِينِ غَفْلَةٍ [And he entered the city in, or during, a time of inadvertence]; (
Mughnee,
K;) and in the saying [in the same ii. 96], وَاتَّبَعُوا مَا تَتْلُو الشَّيَاطِينُ عَلَى مُلْكِ سُلَيْمَانَ, meaning, فِى
زَمَنِ مُلكِ سليمان [i. e. And they followed what the devils related, or recited, in the time of, or during, the reign of Suleymán (or Solomon)]; (
Mughnee;) and in the phrase, كَانَ كَذَا عَلَى
عَهْدِ فُلَانٍ, meaning, فِى عَهْدِهِ [i. e. It was thus, or such a thing was, in the time of such a one]: (
S:) [and in like manner it is used in the saying in the
Kur iii. 173, مَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيَذَرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ عَلَى مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ God is not purposing to leave, or certainly will not leave, the believers in that state wherein ye are: and in the phrase عَلَى سَفَرٍ, in ii. 180 &c. of the same, i. e. In (or, as we also say, on) a journey: in like manner also] لَقَدْ سَرَيْتُ عَلَى الظَّلَامِ, in a verse of Aboo-Kebeer El-Hudhalee, means, فِى الظَّلَامِ [i. e. I have journeyed by night in the darkness], فى الظلام holding the place of a noun in the
accus. case as a ظَرْف [i. e. an adverbial noun of time or place]; or it may be in the place of a denotative of state, meaning وَأَنَا عَلَى الظَّلَامِ i. e. رَاكِبٌ لَهُ [riding upon the darkness]: (
Ham p. 37:) and you say of one who was desiring to rise and hasten, رَأَيْتُهُ عَلَى أَوْفَاضٍ [i. e. I found him in a state of haste: see وَفْضٌ]. (
TA.)
b7: [It also denotes conformity, accordance, adaptation, or agreement; as in the phrase, اِضْرِبْهُ عَلَى طَبْعِ هٰذَا i. e. Make thou it, fashion it, or mould it, conformably, or according, to the model, make, fashion, or mould, of this; (see طَبْعٌ;) and in طُبِعَ عَلَى الشَّىْءِ and جُبِلَ and فُطِرَ &c. i. e. He (a man) was created conformably, or with an adaptation or a disposition, to the thing: (see 1 in art. طبع:) so too in the phrase in the
Kur xxiv. last verse, قَدْ يَعْلَمُ مَا أَنْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ Certainly He knoweth that state of conduct and mind to which ye are conforming yourselves; and in many other passages therein: thus also in the saying of Mohammad, كُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ يُولَدُ عَلَى
الفِطْرةِ Every infant is born in a state of conformity to the natural constitution with which he is created in his mother's womb in relation to the soul; (see art. فطر;) and in the
prov., mentioned by
Meyd, النَّاسُ عَلَى دِينِ المُلُوكِ The people are in conformity to, i. e. are followers of, or follow, the religion of the kings; and in the phrase, relating to a saying or an opinion, عَلَيْهِ أَكْثَرُ العُلَمَآءِ Upon it most of the learned are in agreement; in which, as in other exs. of the same kind, a verb or a part.
n., (in the last, for instance, مُجْمِعُونَ or the like,) is understood.
b8: It also denotes a condition; as in the phrases, صَالَحَهُ عَلَى كَذَا He made peace, or reconciliation, or a compromise, with him on the condition of such a thing, and عَلَى أَنْ يَفْعَلَ كَذَا on the condition of his doing such a thing.
b9: And there are various other usages of this
prep. depending upon verbs or part. ns. expressed or obviously understood in connection with them, too numerous to be here collected. Many of these will be found among the explanations of words with which they occur.]
b10: It is also used in the sense of مِنْ; as in the saying, إِذَا اكْتَالُوا عَلَى النَّاسِ يَسْتَوْفُونَ, (
S,
Mughnee,
K,) in the
Kur [lxxxiii. 2], meaning, مِنَ النَّاسِ [i. e. Who, when they take by measure from men, take fully], (
S,) or, as in the
T, عَنِ النَّاسِ [which signifies the same]. (
TA.)
b11: It is also used in the sense of بِ; (
S,
Mughnee,
K;) as in the saying in the
Kur [vii. 103], عَلَى أنْ لَا أَقُولَ عَلَى اللّٰهِ إِلَّا الْحَقَّ, (
Mughnee,
K, *) meaning بِأَنْ, (
TA,) [i. e. That I should not say of God aught save the truth,] and Ubeí read with ب [i. e. بِأَنْ]; (
Bd,
Mughnee;) like as they say, رَمَيْتُ عَلَى القَوْسِ [meaning بِالقَوْسِ, i. e. I shot with the bow], and جِئْتُ عَلَى حَالٍ حَسَنَةٍ [meaning بِحَالٍ حَسَنَةٍ, i. e. I came in a good condition]; (
Bd; [in which, and also
voce حَقِيقٌ, last sentence, see more;]) and they said also, اِرْكَبْ عَلَى اسْمِ اللّٰهِ [meaning, بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ, i. e. Mount thou in the name of God]: (
Mughnee:) thus [too] it is used in the saying of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, يَسَرٌ يُفِيضُ عَلَى القِدَاحِ وَيَصْدَعُ [
expl. in art. فيض,
conj. 4,] meaning بِالقِدَاحِ: (
S:) [and in the phrase عَلَى يَدِهِ i. e. By his hand, or (assumed
tropical:) by his means.]
b12: It is also used to denote an emendation, (
Mughnee,
K,) and a digression, or transition, (
Mughnee,) like لٰكِنَّ; (
TA;) as in the saying, فُلَانٌ لَا يَدْخُلُ الجَنَّةَ لِسُوءِ صَنِيعِهِ, (
Mughnee,) or فُلَانٌ جَهَنَّمِىٌّ, (
K,) عَلَى أَنَّهُ لَا يّيْأَسُ مِنْ رَحْمةِ اللّٰهِ, (
Mughnee,
K,) meaning لٰكِنَّهُ [i. e. Such a one will not enter Paradise, because of the evilness of his deed, or conduct, or such a one is hell-doomed; but, or yet, he will not despair of the mercy of God]: (
TA:) and thus it is used in the saying, بِكُلٍّ تَدَاوَيْنَا فَلَمْ يُشْفَ مَا بِنَا عَلَى أَنَّ قُرْبَ الدَّارِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ البُعْدِ عَلَى أَنَّ قُرْبَ الدَّارِ لَيْسَ بِنَافِعٍ
إِذَا كَانَ مَنْ تَهْوَاهُ لِيْسَ بِذِى وَدِّ [With everything we treated, or have treated, ourselves curatively, and what was in us was not, or has not been, healed; but the nearness of the abode is better than the remoteness; but the nearness of the abode is not profitable when the person whom thou lovest is not endued with affection]: the poet invalidates by the first عَلَى his saying فَلَمْ يُشْفَ مَا بِنَا; and then, by the second عَلَى, the clause immediately preceding it. (
Mughnee.)
b13: It is also redundant, for the purpose of compensation; as in the saying, إِنَّ الكَرِيمَ وَأَبِيكَ يَعْتَمِلْ
إِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ يَوْمًا عَلَى مَنْ يَتَّكِلْ meaning مَنْ يَتَّكِلُ عَلَيْهِ [i. e. Verily the generous, by thy father, will work for himself when he finds not, some day, him upon whom he may rely]; عَلَى being added before مَنْ for the purpose of compensation [for its omission in its proper place]: (
Mughnee,
K:) Es-Subkee says, it may be redundant, as in the saying, لَا أَحْلِفُ عَلَى يَمِينٍ, meaning لا احلف يَمِينًا [i. e. I will not swear an oath]. (
TA.)
A2: It is also a noun, having the meaning of فَوْق [i. e. The location that is above, or over], this being the case when it is immediately followed by مِنْ; (
S,
Msb,
Mughnee,
K; *) as in the saying (of Muzáhim-El-'Okeylee, describing a قَطَاة [or sand-grouse, and, afterwards, its making a rumbling sound in its inside, from thirst],
TA), غَدَتْ مِنْ عَلَيْهِ بِعْدَ مَا تَمَّ ظِمْؤُهَا [It went away in the early morning from the location above it, (or, as we say, from above it,) after that her interval between two comings to water was complete]: (
Msb,
Mughnee,
K: [and a similar
ex. is cited in the
S:]) or,
accord. to
As, meaning مِنْ عِنْدِهِ [from its vicinage]: and, used in this sense, as a noun, it admits before it no other
prep. than مِنْ. (
Msb.)
A3: عَلَيْكَ is also a
verbal noun, used as an incentive: (
TA:) you say, عَلَيْكَ زَيْدًا, (
S,
K,
TA,) and بِزَيْدٍ, (
TA,) meaning Take thou Zeyd; or take thou hold of Zeyd: (
S,
TA:) or keep thou, or cleave thou, to Zeyd: (
K,
TA:) and عَلَيْكَ بِكَذَا keep thou to such a thing: (El-Munáwee,
TA in art. ب:) [thus] it is said in a
trad., عَلَيْكَ باِلرِّفْقِ [Keep thou to gentleness]. (El-
Jámi' es-Sagheer.)
b2: And [in like manner] you say, عَلَىَّ زَيْدًا, and بِزَيْدٍ, meaning Give thou me, or present thou to me, Zeyd: (
S,
TA:) [or, more commonly, bring thou to me Zeyd:] you say, عَلَىَّ بِكَذَا, meaning bring thou to me such a thing. (
MA.) عُلًى: see عَلَآءٌ.

عَلَاةٌ The سِنْدَان [or anvil], (

TA,) whether of شجر [
app. meaning of such as are made from trees, or perhaps this is a mistranscription for صَخْر, i. e. rock], or of iron; or the زُبْرَة [i. e. iron anvil] upon which the blacksmith beats iron: (
TA:)
pl. [or rather
coll. gen. n.]
↓ عَلًا. (

b2: Hence it is applied to a she-camel, as being likened thereto in respect of her hardness: you say نَاقَةٌ عَلَاةُ الخَلْقِ (assumed

K;) as also ↓ عُلًى, and ↓ مَعْلَاةٌ; (

K;) [or, agreeably with
analogy, a cause, or means, of acquiring high, or elevated, rank &c.; being originally مَعْلَوَةٌ, of the measure مَفْعَلَةٌ, like مَبْخَلَةٌ and مَجْبَنَةٌ &c.;] and its

pl. ns. by common consent,] signifies the great in respect of estimation, rank, or dignity, of men, thus used in a
pl. sense. (
K.)
b2: It signifies also Strong, robust, or powerful: (
K,
TA:) and hence it is used as a proper name of a man; (
