[عُلَّ الشَّىْءُ is mentioned in the Ṣ, with the addition فَهُوَ مَعْلُولٌ↓, but without any explanation; perhaps as meaning The thing was caused; from عِلَّةٌ “a cause,” of which مَعْلُولٌ (q. v.) is the correlative: but the context seems to indicate that it means the thing was used for the purpose of diverting from some want: Golius appears to have read عَلَّ, and to have been led by what next precedes it in the Ṣ to render it loco alterius rei fuit lactavitve res.]

عَالَلْتُ النَّاقَةَ I milked the she-camel in the morning and the evening and the middle of the day: (Lḥ, O, TA:) in the Ḳ, erroneously, عَالَّتِ النَّاقَةُ [as meaning the she-camel was milked at those times]: (TA:) and the subst. is عِلَالٌ↓: (Ḳ: [but there is no reason why this should not be regarded as a reg. inf. n.:]) Lḥ cites this verse, (O,) of an Arab of the desert, (TA,)

* اَلْعَنْزُ تَعْلَمُ أَنِّى لَا أُكَرِّمُهَا *

* عَنِ العِلَالِ وَلَا عَنْ قِدْرِ أَضْيَافِى *

[The she-goat knows that I will not preserve her from the milking in the morning and the evening and the middle of the day nor from the cookingpot of my guests]: (O:) or, accord. to Az, عِلَالٌ signifies the milking after milking, before the udder requires it by the abundance of the milk.

أَعْلَلْتُ الإِبِلَ I brought, or sent, back the camels from the water (Ṣ, O, Ḳ) after they had satisfied their thirst, (O,) or before they had satisfied their thirst: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) or, (Ṣ, O, Ḳ,) [if the latter is meant,] accord. to some of the etymologists, (Ṣ, O,) it is with غ; (Ṣ, O, Ḳ; [see 4 in art. غل;]) as though it were from the meaning of “thirsting;” but the former is what has been heard; (Ṣ, O;) and it means I gave the camels to drink the second draught, or watered them the second time, and then brought them, or sent them, back from the water, having their thirst satisfied; and thus, too, meansعَلَّلَتُ↓ الإِبِلَ; the contr. of أَغْلَلْنُهَا. (TA.) See also 1, first sentence.

And اعلّ القَوْمُ The people, or party, were, or became, persons whose camels had drunk the second time. (Ṣ, O, Ḳ.*)

تعلّل بِهِ He diverted himself, (Ṣ,) or occupied himself so as to divert himself, (Ḳ,) and (Ṣ, in the Ḳ “or”) contented, or satisfied, himself, or he was, or became diverted,, &c., with it; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) as alsoاعتلّ↓: (Ḳ:) as, for instance, with a portion of food, [so that the craving of his stomach became allayed,] before the [morning-meal called] غَدَآء; (M voce سُلْفَةٌ, and Ḳ voce لُمْجَةٌ, &c.;) and as a beast does with the cud: (TA:) he occupied himself so as to divert himself, and fed [or sustained] himself, with it: (Ḥar p. 23:) and he whiled away his time with it. (W p. 55.) And تعلّل بٱلْمَرْأَةِ He diverted himself with the woman. (Ḳ.)

And تَعَلَّلَتْ مِنْ نِفَاسِهَا, andتَعَالَّتْ↓, (Ḳ, TA,) as also تَعَالَتْ, without teshdeed, (TA, [see 5 in art. علو,]) She passed forth from her state of impurity consequent upon childbirth, (Ḳ,* TA,) and became lawful to her husband. (TA.)

And تَعَالَلْتُ نَفْسِى signifies the same as تَلَوَّمْتُهَا [app. meaning I waited for myself to accomplish a want, or an object of desire, so that I might avoid blame: for تَلَوَّمَ as signifying اِنْتَظَرَ and تَنَظَّرَ is trans. as well as intrans.; and seems to be originally similar to تَأَثَّمَ and تَحَنَّثَ, &c.]. (TA.)

See also 5, last sentence.

اعتلّ: see 1, latter half.

Also He excused himself; or adduced, or urged, an excuse, or a plea; (MA, Ḳ,* TA;*) or he laid hold upon a plea, or an allegation. (El-Fárábee, Mṣb.) You say, اعتلّ عَلَيْهِ بِعِلَّةٍ (Ṣ, MA, O) He adduced, or urged, an excuse, or a plea, or pretext, for it. (MA.) And hence, اِعْتِلَالَاتُ الفُقَهَآءِ [The pleas, or allegations, of the lawyers, which they adduce, or upon which they lay hold]. (Mṣb.)

اعتلّهُ He hindered, prevented, impeded, or withheld, him; turned him back or away; retarded him; or diverted him by occupying him otherwise; from an affair. (Ṣ, O.)

عَلْ عَلْ (Ḳ, TA, in the O written as one word,) A cry by which one chides sheep or goats (Yaạḳoob, O, Ḳ) and camels. (O.)

عَلَّ and لَعَلَّ (Ṣ, O, Mughnee, Ḳ) are dial. vars.; or the former is the original, the ل being augmentative, (Ṣ, O, Mughnee,) prefixed for the purpose of corroboration: the meaning is expectation of a thing hoped for or feared; (Ṣ, O;) importing hope, or eager desire, and fear, or caution: (Ṣ, O, Ḳ:) each is a particle, like إِنَّ and لَيْتَ and كَأَنَّ and لٰكِنَّ: (Ṣ, O:) and like عَسَى [q. v.] in meaning; but like إِنَّ in government; (Mughnee;) governing the subject in the accus. case, and the predicate in the nom.: one says, عَلَّكَ تَفْعَلُ [Maybe, or perhaps, thou wilt do such a thing], and عَلِّى أَفْعَلُ [May-be I shall do], and لَعَلِّى أَفْعَلُ; and sometimes they said, عَلَّنِى and لَعَلَّنِى; (Ṣ, O;) and one says alsoعَلْ↓ andلَعَلْ↓, with the ل quiescent, andعَلْكَ↓ andلَعَلْكَ↓: (O:) [and accord. to general usage, one says, لَعَلَّ زَيْدًا قَائِمٌ May-be Zeyd is standing:] and the tribe of 'Okeyl made each to govern the subject in the gen. case, (Ṣ, O, Mughnee,) saying, لَعَلَّ زَيْدٍ قَائِمٌ; (Ṣ, O;) and allowed the pronouncing عَلِّ and لَعَلِّ: (Mughnee:) sometimes its subject is suppressed, as in عَلَّ أَنْ أَتَقَدَّمَ, meaning لَعَلَّنِى أَنْ أَتَقَدَّمَ [May-be I shall precede]: (Ḥam p. 517:) the Koofees allow the mansoob aor. [immediately] after, on the authority of the reading of Hafs, [in the Ḳur xl. 38,] لَعَلِّى أَبْلُغَ الأَسْبَابَ [May-be I may reach the places of ascent, or the regions, or tracts, of the heavens]. (Mughnee.) Other dial. vars. of عَلّ are mentioned in art. لعل [q. v.]. (Ḳ.)

عَلٌّ: see عَلَلٌ, in two places.

Also [in the CK erroneously with damm to the ع in all the senses here following that are expl. in the Ḳ] An emaciated tick: (Ṣ, O:) or a big-bodied tick: or a small-bodied one: (Ḳ, TA:) pl. عِلَالٌ. (TA.)

And A man advanced in age, (Ṣ, O, Ḳ,) small in body, (Ṣ, O,) or slender, or spare; (Ḳ;) as being likened to the tick. (Ṣ, O.) And anything slender (دَقِيق, for رَقِيق in the Ḳ is a mistranscription, TA) in body, advanced in age. (M, Ḳ,* TA.) And A man whose skin is contracted by disease. (IDrd, O, Ḳ.)

Also One in whom is no good: Esh-Shenfarà says, وَلَسْتُ بِعَلٍّ [And I am not one in whom is no good: but the context seems rather to require one of the other meanings mentioned above: and another reading (بِفِلٍّ) is mentioned by De Sacy, in his Chrest. Ar., 2nd ed., ii. 359]. (O, TA.)

Also A man who visits women much, or often, (Ḳ, TA,) and diverts himself with them. (TA.)

And A big-bodied, large he-goat. (Ḳ.)

عَلَّةٌ A [single] second draught. (Mgh.)

And hence, (Mgh,) A woman's fellow-wife; her husband's wife: (Mgh, Mṣb,* Ḳ:) or, as some say, a step-mother: but the former is the more correct meaning: (Mgh:) pl. عَلَّاتٌ. (Mṣb.) Whence, بَنُو العَلَّاتِ The sons of one father by different mothers: as though, when he added by marriage a second wife to the first, he took a second draught. (Ṣ,* Mgh, O,* Mṣb,* Ḳ.*) أَوْلَادُ الأَخْيَافِ means the contr. of this: and أَوْلَادُ الأَعْيَانِ, the sons of the same father and mother. (Mṣb.) Accord. to IB, one says, هُمَا أَخَوَانِ مِنْ ضَرَّتَيْنِ [They two are brothers from two fellow-wives]; but they did not say, مِنْ ضَرَّةٍ: and accord. to ISh, one says, هُمْ بَنُو عَلَّةٍ and أَوْلَادُ عَلَّةٍ. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., الأَنْبِيَآءُ بَنُو عَلَّاتِ, (Mgh,) or أَوْلَادُ عَلَّاتٍ, (TA,) meaning The prophets are of different mothers, but of one religion: (T, Mgh, TA:) or of one faith, but of different religious laws or ordinances. (Nh, TA.)

See also عُلَالَةٌ.

عِلَّةٌ An accident that befalls an object and causes its state, or condition, to become altered. (TA.)

And hence, (TA,) A disease, sickness, or malady; (Ṣ, O, Ḳ, TA;) because, by its befalling, the state becomes altered from strength to weakness; so says El-Munáwee in the “Tow- keef:” (TA:) or a disease that diverts [from the ordinary occupations; app. regarded as being from what next follows]: pl. عِلَلٌ (Mṣb) [and عِلَّاتٌ].

Also An accident, or event, that diverts the person to whom it occurs from his course, (Ṣ, O, Ḳ,) or from the object of his want: (M:) as though it became a second occupation hindering him from his former occupation. (Ṣ, O.)

And [hence,] an excuse; an apology; a plea whereby one excuses himself. (TA.) Hence, (Ḳ,* TA,) لَاتَعْدَمُ خَرْقَآءُ عِلَّةً [expl. in art. خرق]. (Ḳ, TA.) [See also another ex. in art. سأل, conj. 3.]

And A cause: [and particularly an efficient cause:] (M, Ḳ:) one says, هٰذَا عِلَّةٌ لِهٰذَا This is a cause of this: (M:) and هٰذِهِ عِلَّتُهُ This is its cause: (Ḳ:) [andعِلَّةٌ وَمَعْلُولٌ↓ Cause and effect; a phrase of frequent occurrence in theological and other works:] and [sometimes عِلَّةٌ signifies a pretext, or pretence:] it is said in a trad. of ʼÁïsheh, فَكَانَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمٰنِ يَضْرِبُ رِجْلِى بِعِلَّةِ الرَّاحِلَةِ, meaning And ʼAbd-Er-Raḥmán was beating my leg with the pretence, or pretext, of his beating the side of the camel with his leg. (TA.)

The phrase عَلَى عِلَّاتِهِ means In every case. (Ṣ, O, Ḳ.) Zubeyr says,

* إِنَّ البَخِيلَ مَلُومٌ حَيْثُ كَانَ وَاٰ *

* كِنَّ الجَوَادَ عَلَى عِلَّاتِهِ هَرِمُ *

[Verily the niggard is blamed wherever he be; but the liberal in all his circumstances is Herim]: (Ṣ, O:) meaning his companion Herim Ibn-Sinán El-Murree. (Ṣ in art. هرم.)

عَلَلٌ andعَلٌّ↓ [both mentioned in the first paragraph as inf. ns.] The second draught: or a drinking after drinking, uninterruptedly: (Ḳ:) or the former signifies a second drinking; one says عَلَلٌ بَعْدَ نَهَلٍ [a second drinking after a first drinking]: (Ṣ, O:) or a drinking after drinking: (Mṣb:) and the second watering of camels; the first being termed the نَهَل: (Aṣ, TA:) these two terms are also similarly used in relation to suckling: and one of the unknown poets says,

* ثُمَّ ٱنْثَنَى مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَا فَصَلَّى *

*عَلَى النَّبِىِّ نَهَلًا وَعَلَّا↓ *

[Then he turned, or turned away or back, after that, and blessed the Prophet a first time and a second time]. (TA.)

Also, the former, Food that has been eaten. (Kr, TA.) [See also نَهَلٌ.]

عَلُولٌ Some light food with which the sick person is diverted or occupied [so as to be rendered contented]: pl. عُلُلٌ. (TA.)

عَلِيلٌ Diseased, sick, or ill; (Ṣ, Mṣb;) and so with ة {عَلِيلَةٌ} applied to a woman: (Mgh:) or, the former, rendered diseased, &c. by God; [being used as the pass. part. n. of أَعَلَّهُ in the phrase اعلّهُ ٱللّٰهُ;] (Ḳ;) as alsoمُعَلٌّ↓, (Mṣb, Ḳ,) agreeably with rule, but this is seldom used; (Mṣb;) andمَعْلُولٌ↓, from عَلَّهُ ٱللّٰهُ; (Mṣb;) or this last should not be said, for, though the theologians say it, it is not of established authority. (Ḳ,* TA.)

عَلِيلَةٌ also signifies A woman perfumed repeatedly: (AA, O, Ḳ, TA:) and accord. to AA, مُعَلَّلٌ↓, as used in a verse of Imra-el-Ḳeys, signifies perfumed time after time. (O.) [See also مُعَلِّلٌ.]

عُلَالَةٌ (Ṣ, Ḳ) andتَعِلَّةٌ↓ (Ṣ,* Ḳ) andعَلَّةٌ↓, (Ḳ, TA,) with fet-ḥ, (TA, [in the CK العِلَّةُ is put for العَلَّةُ,]) A thing with which a person, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) or a child, (TA,) is diverted, or occupied so as to be diverted, and contented, or satisfied, (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA,) such as talk, and singing, and food,, &c., (Ḥar p. 308,) [or such as a small quantity of food by which the craving of his stomach is allayed,] in order that he may be quiet.

And Clouds disposed one above another; (Ṣ, O;) sing. as above: (Ṣ:) or [simply] clouds; so in the R; to which ISd adds containing rain: (TA:) or white clouds; (Ḳ, TA; a meaning assigned in the Ḳ to the sing.;) but this is said by Nifṭaweyh in explanation of the phrase بِيضٌ يَعَالِيلُ in a verse of Kaab Ibn-Zuheyr to which reference has been made above: (TA:) or [the sing. signifies] a white portion of clouds. (M, Ḳ.)

Also, the sing., A camel having two humps. (IAạr, O, Ḳ.)

And A camel such as is termed أَفِيل [q. v.]. (O.)
