دَخَلَ, (Ṣ, Ḳ, &c.,) aor. ـُ {يَدْخُلُ}, (TA,) inf. n. دُخُولٌ (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ) and مَدْخَلٌ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) He, or it, entered; or went, came, passed, or got, in; contr. of خَرَجَ; (Ḳ;) as alsoاِدَّخَلَ↓, of the measure اِفْتَعَلَ, andاندخل↓, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) this last occuring in poetry, but not chaste, (Ṣ,) andتدخّل↓, (Ḳ,) or this signifies it (a thing) entered by little and little. (Ṣ, O.) You say, دَخَلْتُ مَدْخَلًا حَسَنًا [like دُخُولًا حَسَنًا I entered with a good entering]. (Ṣ.) And دَخَلْتُ البَيْتَ (Ṣ) or الدَّارَ, i. e. [I entered the house, or] I became within the house, and the like, (Mṣb,) correctly meaning إِلَى البَيْتِ [&c., or فِى البَيْتِ, &c., i. e. I entered into the house,, &c.], the prep. being suppressed, and the noun put in the accus. case after the manner of an objective complement: for nouns of place are of two kinds, vague and definite; the vague being such as the six relative locations, خَلْفٌ, and قُدَّامٌ, and يَمِينٌ, and شِمَالٌ, and فَوْقٌ, and تَحْتٌ, and the like, such as أَمَامٌ, and وَرَآءٌ, and أَعْلَى, and أَسْفَلُ, and عِنْدَ, and لَدُنْ, and وَسْطٌ in the sense of بَيْنٌ, and قُبَالَةٌ, all which, and similar nouns of place, may become adverbs, because indefinite; for dost thou not see that what is خَلْف to thee may be قُدَّام to another? but that which is definite, having make, and corporeal substance, and tracts that comprehend it, as a mountain and a valley and a market and a house and a mosque, the noun signifying such a thing cannot become an adverb; for you may not say, قَعَدْتُ الدَّارَ, nor صَلَّيْتُ المَسْجِدَ, nor نِمْتُ الجَبَلَ, nor قُمْتُ الوَادِىَ; the phrases of this kind that occur being instances of the suppression of a prep.; as دَخَلْتُ البَيْتَ, and نَزَلْتُ الوَادِىَ, and صَعِدْتُ الجَبَلَ. (Ṣ, O, TA.) You say also, دَخَلْتُ عَلَى زَيْدٍ الدَّارَ, meaning I entered the house after Zeyd, he being in it. (Mṣb.) [And simply دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ He came in upon him: and also he came upon him; i. e. invaded him.] And دَخَلَ بِٱمْرَأَتِهِ, (Mṣb, TA,) and عَلَيْهَا, (MA,) inf. n. دُخُولٌ, (Mgh, Mṣb,) [like دَخَلَ بِأَهْلِهِ, and عَلَيْهَا, (see أَهْلٌ,) i. e. ‡ He went in to his wife or woman,] is a metonymical phrase, denoting الجِمَاع, (Mṣb, TA,) i. e. الوَطْء, (Mgh, Mṣb, TA,) whether it be such as is allowed by the law or such as is forbidden, (Mgh,) generally such as is lawful. (Mṣb, TA. [See what is said in explanation of the term خَلْوَةٌ in the first paragraph of art. خلو.]) And دَخَلَ بَعْضُهُ فِى بَعْضٍ i. q. تَدَاخَلَ [q. v.]. (TA in art. قصر, &c.) [For ex.,] you say, دَخَلَ بَعْضُ النُّجُومِ فِى بَعْضٍ [The stars became confused together]. (Mgh and TA in art. شبك: in the former coupled with اِخْتَلَطَتْ.) And دَخَلَ فِيهِمْ [He entered among them, so as to become a member of their community, confraternity, party, sect, or the like;] said of a stranger. (Ḳ.) [And دَخَلَ فِى طَاعَتِهِ: see طَائِعٌ, in art. طوع.] When دَخَلَ is said of income, or revenue, [meaning It came in, accrued, or was received,] the aor. is as above, and the inf. n. دَخْلٌ: (Mṣb:) and you say, يَدْخُلُ عَلَى الإِنْسَانِ [It comes in, or accrues, to the man]. (Mṣb, Ḳ.*) دَخَلَ بِهِ [lit. He entered with him, or it]: see 4.

[Hence, دَخَلَ فِيهِ meaning † It became included, comprehended, or comprised, in it. And hence,] دَخَلَ فِى دِينِ الإِسْلَامِ † [He entered within the pale of the religion of El-Islám; he entered the communion of that religion; he entered into, embraced, or became a proselyte to, that religion]. (Mṣb in art. سلم, &c. [See Ḳur cx. 2.]) And دَخَلَ فِى الأَمْرِ, inf. n. دُخُولٌ, † He entered upon, began, or commenced, the affair. (Mṣb.) [And دَخَلَ فِى أَمْرِ غَيْرِهِ, and أُمُورِ غَيْرِهِ, andتدخّل↓, andتداخل↓ † He entered into, or mixed himself in, another's affair, and another's affairs.]

[Hence also, دَخَلَ عَلَيْهِ said of night, &c., It came upon him, or invaded him. And said of a word, such as a prep., &c., It was, or became, prefixed to it, preposed to it, or put before it.]

[دَخَلَنِى مِنْهُ seems (from an instance in art. بضع in the Ḳ) to mean † An evil opinion of him entered my mind; from دَخْلٌ as signifying “a thing that induces doubt, or suspicion, or evil opinion.”]

دُخِلَ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) like عُنِىَ; (Ḳ;) and دَخِلَ, aor. ـَ {يَدْخَلُ}; inf. n. [of the former] دَخْلٌ and [of the latter] دَخَلٌ; (Ḳ;) † He had an unsoundness (دَخَلٌ, Ṣ, Ḳ, i. e. فَسَادٌ, Ḳ) in his intel-lect, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) or in his body, (Ḳ,) or in his grounds of pretension to respect. (TA in explanation of the former verb.) And دَخِلَ أَمْرُهُ, aor. ـَ {يَدْخَلُ}, (Ḳ,) inf. n. دَخَلٌ, (TA,) † His affair, or case, or state, was, or became, intrinsically bad or corrupt or unsound. (Ḳ.)

دخّل, inf. n. تَدْخِيلٌ, He put dates into a دَوْخَلَّة [q. v.]. (TA.) [In the present day, دخّلهُ is used in the first of the senses assigned below to أَدْخَلَهُ; but for this I have not found any classical authority.]

مُدَاخَلَةٌ [inf. n. of داخل] signifies The entering [with another] into a place: or † into an affair. (KL.) You say, داخلهُ فِى أُمُورِهِ † [He entered with him into, or mixed with him in, his affairs]. (JK, Ṣ.) And دَاخَلَهُمْ [alone † He entered with them into, or mixed with them in, their affairs: he mixed with them in familiar, or social, intercourse: he conversed with them; or was, or became, intimate with them]. (Lḥ, TA in the present art. and in art. خلط. [See 3 in art. خلط.]) And دَاخَلَهُ فَسَادٌ فِى عَقْلٍ أَوْ جِسْمٍ † [Unsoundness in intellect, or body, infected him, as though commingling with him; like خَالَطَهُ]. (Ḳ.) دِخَالٌ [also is an inf. n. of داخل]: see 6, in two places.

[See also دِخَالٌ below.]

ادخلهُ, inf. n. إِدْخَالٌ and مُدْخَلٌ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) He made, or caused, him, or it, to enter; or to go, come, pass, or get, in; he put in, inserted, brought in, or introduced, him, or it; as alsoدَخَلَ↓ بِهِ [lit. he entered with him, or it], (Ḳ, TA,) inf. n. دُخُولٌ. (TA.) You say, أَدْخَلْتُ زَيْدًا الدَّارَ, [for فِى الدَّارِ, I made, or caused, Zeyd to enter the house, or I brought, or introduced, Zeyd into the house,] inf. n. مُدْخَلٌ. (Mṣb.) Hence, in the Ḳur [xvii. 82], رَبِّ أَدْخَلْنِى مُدْخَلَ صِدْقٍ (Ṣ,* TA) O my Lord, cause me to enter El-Medeeneh in a good, or an agreeable, manner: (Jel: [see also various similar explanations in Bḍ:]) [orمُدْخَل↓ may be here a n. of place, or of time: see, in art. خرج, what is said of the words of the Ḳur that follow, أَخْرِجْنِى مَخْرَجَ صِدْقٍ.] One says also, أَدْخَلْتُ الخُفَّ فِى رِجْلِى and القَلَنْسُوَةَ فِى رَأْسِى [for أَدْخَلْتُ رِجْلِى فِى الخُفِّ and رَأْسِى فِى القَلَنْسُوَةِ I put, or inserted, my leg, or foot, into the boot and my head into the cap]. (Ḥam p. 43.)

Hence the saying, يُدْخِلُ عَلَى قَوْمِهِ مَكْرُوهًا يَلْطَخُهُمْ بِهِ [He brings against his people an abominable, or evil, charge, aspersing them with it]. (Ṣ in art. عر.)

تداخل signifies دَخَلَ بَعْضُهُ فِى بَعْضٍ [One part of it entered into another, or parts of it into others; meaning it became intermixed, intermingled, commixed, or commingled; it intermixed; it became confused: and hence it often means it became compact, or contracted]. (TA in art. قصر.) [Hence,] تَدَاخَلٌ signifies The entering of joints one into another; (M;) as alsoدِخَالٌ↓ (JK, M, Ḳ) andدَخِيلٌ↓; (Ḳ;) but this last is not in the M [nor in the JK], and requires consideration: (TA:) [perhaps the joints (مَفَاصِل) here mentioned are those of a coat of mail; for it is said immediately before in the JK that دِخَالٌ in coats of mail signifies firmness, or compactness, of make. Hence also,] تَدَاخُلُ اللُّغَاتِ [The intermixture, or commixture, of dialects]. (Mz 17th نوع.) And تَدَاخُلُ الأُمُورِ † The dubiousness and confusedness of affairs; as alsoدِخَالُ↓ الأُمُورِ. (TA.)

See also 1, in the latter half of the paragraph.

[It is also trans.] You say, تَدَاخَلَنِ مِنْهُ شَىْءٌ [Something thereof, or therefrom, crept into me, i. e., into my mind]. (Ṣ, TA. [In the former, this meaning seems to be indicated by what there immediately precedes.]) And تَدَاخَلَنِى مِنْ هٰذَا الأَمْرِ رَمَضٌ † [Distress and disquietude, or grief, crept into me from, or in consequence of, this thing]. (A and TA in art. رمض.)

إِدَّخَلَ: see 1, first sentence. ادّخل عَلَىَّ [app. He encroached upon me]. (TA in art. هيض: see 1 in that art.)

استدخل He wished, desired, asked, or begged, to enter. (KL.)

And He entered a خَمَر [or covert of trees, &c., or some other place of concealment]: said of one lurking to shoot, or cast, at objects of the chase. (TA.)

دَخْلٌ Income, or revenue, or profit, that comes in, or accrues, to a man from his immovable property, such as land and houses and palm-trees, &c., (T, Mṣb, Ḳ,) and from his merchandise; (Mṣb;) contr. of خَرْجٌ; (Ṣ;) as alsoمَدْخُولٌ↓ [for مَدْخُولٌ بِهِ]: (TA:) the former is originally an inf. n., of which the verb is دَخَلَ, aor. ـُ {يَدْخُلُ}. (Mṣb.) You say, دَخْلُهُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ خَرْجِهِ [His income is more than his outgoings, or expenditure]. (Mṣb.)

See also دُخْلَةٌ.

A disease; (Ḳ;) as alsoدَخَلٌ↓: (Ḳ, TA; but not decisively shown to have this meaning in the CK:) a vice, fault, defect, or blemish; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) and particularly in one's grounds of pretension to respect, (Az, TA,) as also, thus restricted, دَخَلٌ↓: (Ḳ, TA:) and a thing that induces doubt, or suspicion, or evil opinion; as alsoدَخَلٌ↓ [app. in all the senses explained in this sentence: each originally an inf. n.: see دُخِلَ and دَخِلَ]. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) Hence the saying, (Ṣ, TA,) of ـُ Athmeh Bint-Matrood, (TA,)

* تَرَى الفِتْيَانَ كَالنَّخْلِ *

* وَمَا يُدْرِيكَ بِالدَّخْلِ *

[Thou seest the youths, or young men, like palmtrees; but what will acquaint thee with the vice,, &c., that is, or may be, in them]: (Ṣ, O, TA:) applied in relation to him who is of pleasing aspect, but devoid of good. (O, TA. [See also another reading of this verse voce رَقْلَةٌ.])

See also دِخَالٌ:

دُخْلٌ [A species of millet;] i. q. جَاوَرْسٌ; as also دُخْنٌ. (TA.)

دَخَلٌ primarily signifies A thing that enters into another thing and is not of it. (Bḍ in xvi. 94.) See دَخْلٌ, in three places. Also Badness, corruptness, or unsoundness; or a bad, a corrupt, or an unsound, state or quality; (Ṣ in art. دغل, and Ḳ;) in intellect or in body [&c.]. (Ḳ.) You say, فِى عَقْلِهِ دَخَلٌ [In his intellect is an unsoundness]. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) And هٰذَاالأَمْرُ فِيهِ دَخَلٌ and دَغَلٌ [This affair, or case, in it is an unsoundness]: both signify the same. (Ṣ.)

Rottenness in a palm-tree. (TA.)

Leanness, or emaciation. (TA.)

Perfidiousness, faithlessness, or treachery: (Ḳ and TA; but not in the CK:) deceit, guile, or circumvention. (Ṣ, Ḳ.)

[And in the same sense it is used in verse 94 of the same ch.])

Also People, or persons, who assert their relationship to those of whom they are not: (Ḳ:) in this sense thought by ISd to be a quasi-pl. n. [app. of دَخِيلٌ (q. v.), like as شَرَفٌ is of شَرِيفٌ]. (TA.) You say, هُمْ دَخَلٌ فِى بَنِى فُلَانٍ They are, among the sons of such a one, persons who assert their relationship to them not being of them. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) [But Freytag asserts, though without naming any authority, evidently taking it from the TḲ, in which I find it, that one says, هم دخل لهم, and also هو; thus applying it to a single person (which is questionable) as well as to a plurality.]

And Tangled, or luxuriant, or abundant and dense, trees; (Ḳ;) as also دَغَلٌ. (TA.)

دَخِلٌ Intrinsically bad or corrupt or unsound: andدَخْلٌ↓ occurs in the same sense at the end of a verse: this may be a contraction of the former, or it may be for ذُو دَخْلٍ. (TA.)

(Ḳ.) You say, هُوَ عَالِمٌ بِدُخْلَتِهِ † He is acquainted with his inward, or intrinsic, state or circumstances. (Ṣ.) And every one of the foregoing fourteen syn. words is prefixed to the word أَمْر, so that you say, عَرَفْتُ دُخْلَةَ أَمْرِهِ, &c., meaning † I knew the whole [of the inward, or intrinsic, circumstances] of his case. (TA.) فَرَشْتُهُ دِخْلَةَ↓ أَمْرِى, or فَرَشْتُ لَهُ دِخْلَةَ أَمْرِى, is a post-classical prov., meaning † I laid open to him the inward, or intrinsic, and true, or real, state of my case.

(Ṣ.) You say, بَيْنَهُمَا دُخْلُلٌ andدِخْلَلٌ↓, meaning † Between them two is a particular, or special, intimate, who enters with them into their affairs: so says Lḥ: but ISd says, I know not what it is: accord. to the T, on the authority of AO, the meaning is, between them is brotherhood, or fraternization, and love, or affection: and accord. to ISd and the Ḳ,دُخْلَلٌ↓ الحُبِّ and دُخْلُلُهُ [the latter not in the CK nor in my MṢ. copy of the Ḳ] andدَاخِلُهُ↓ signify † purity of inward love.
