muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُ·ـِيَفْعِلُmaṣdarخَلٌّ

Core sense — his flesh became lean; he pierced it through; he pinned it; he was poorgenerated

1.1

[irregular for an intransitive verb of this class, unless the verb is of the measure فَعُلَ] and خَلِلَ [by the general rule]; maṣdar خَلٌّ, خُلُولٌ, and اختلّ: his flesh became little, or scanty; his flesh wasted away; he became lean, or spare.

[But what follows seems to show that the verb may be of the measure فَعِلَ, as well as of the measure فَعَلَ; or perhaps of the measures فَعِلَ, فَعَلَ, and فَعُلَ, so that the muḍāriʿ may be regularly خَلَلَ, خَلِلَ, and خَلُلَ.]

1.1.1I missed such a thing—خَلِلْتُ مِنْ كَذَا

the camel missed the [herbage called] ربيع and became lean as a result—خَلَّ البَعِيرُ مِنَ الرَّبِيعِ

Mentioned by Ibn-'Abbád.

1.1.2said of a man: he was, or became, poor, or in want or need—خَلَّ

Maṣdar خَلٌّ, أَخَلَّ or أُخِلَّ, أُخِلَّ بِهِ, and اختلّ.

1.2he, or it, perforated the thing; pierced it through—خَلَّ الشَّىْءَ

. Also تخللّٰهُ, so in the M.

I transfixed the thing with the [pin called] خلال—خَلَلْتُ الشَّىْءَ بِالخِلَالِ

[he skewered the flesh-meat]—خَلَّ اللَّحْمَ

I pierced him with the spear—خَلَلْتُهُ بِالرُّمْحِ

he transpierced him, or transfixed him, with the spear—اختلّهُ بِالرُّمْحِ

And so بِالسَّهْمِ with the arrow. Or it means he pierced him with the spear and transfixed his heart. According to AZ, الاِخْتِلَالُ relates to the heart and the liver.

[the bull pierces the dog with his horn]—يَخْتَلًّ الثَّوْرُ الكَلْبَ بِقَرْنِهِ

It is vaguely indicated there that خِلَّةٌ means the act, or perhaps the effect, of a bull's piercing a dog with his horn.

he pierced him time after time with the spear—تخللّٰهُ بِالرُّمْحِ

1.2.1he slit the tongue of the young camel and put into it a wooden pin called خِلَال, so that it might not suck—خَلَّ الفَصِيلَ

Or simply: he slit the tongue of the young camel so that it might not be able to suck any longer, and so it became lean; as also خَلَّ لِسَانَ الفَصِيلِ. Or الخَلُّ means the fixing of a خِلَال above the nose of the young camel, to prevent its sucking.

1.2.2he pinned it with the [pin called] خِلَال; he fastened its edges together with a خِلَال—خَلَّةُ

. Said of a thing, a garment, a [garment such as is called] كِسَآء or رَدَآء and the like, and a [tent such as is called] خِبَآء.

خللّٰهُ has a similar but more intensive meaning.

A poet says

shāhid

سَمِعْنَ بِمَوْتِهِ فَظَهَرْنَ نَوْحًاقِيَامًا مَا يُخَلُّ لَهُنَّ عُودُ

, meaning لَا يُخَلُّ لَهُنَّ ثَوْبٌ بِعُودٍ [i. e. They (the women) heard of his death and appeared, wailing, standing, no garment of theirs having its edges fastened together with a pointed piece of wood].

1.3he moved the camels to what is termed خُلَّة—خَلَّ الإِبِلَ

. [After they had been pasturing on حَمْض.]

As also أَخَلَّهَا; or that means he pastured them on خُلَّة.

1.4he specified, or singled out—خَلَّ

. Synonymous with خَصَّ, the opposite of عَمَّ.

And so خلّل, as in the phrase عَمَّ فِى دُعَائِهِ وَخَلَّ and وَخَلَّلَ [He included, or comprehended, persons or things in general in his prayer or supplication and the like, and specified some person or thing, or some persons or things].

maṣdarتَخْلِيلٌ

Core sense — he picked his teeth; he made water flow into the interstices; it became vinegargenerated

2.1he picked his teeth; he got out the remains of food between his teeth with a خِلَال [or toothpick]—تخلّل

. The passive form of the verb is also mentioned in the K.

But according to the K one says تخللّٰهُ [he extracted it], meaning the remains of food between the teeth.

2.1.1[He separated the hair with the comb; he combed the hair]—خلّل الشَّعَرَ بِالمُشْطِ

Mentioned under تَشْرِيحٌ.

2.1.2he made the water flow into the interstices of his beard, and of his fingers or toes, in the ablution called وُضُوْء—خلّل لِحْيَتَهُ

أَصَابِعَهُ is used in the same way, with the same maṣdar; and تخلّل alone has the same meaning.

It is as though it were taken from تَخَلَّلْتُ القَوْمَ, meaning “I entered amid the breaks, or interspaces, between the people.” Hence the tradition that follows.

[Make the water flow between your fingers and toes, or a fire that spares little will be made to flow between them]—خَلِّلُوا أَصَابِعَكُمْ لَا تُخَلَّلَهَا نَارٌ قَلِيلٌ بُقْيَاهَا

2.1.3he put صَارُوج [or كِلْس, i. e. quick lime and the like] into the interstices of the stones of a building—خللّٰهُ كِلْسًا

Mentioned in the TA under كلس.

2.1.4he looked over the state of the cucumbers—خلّل القِثَّآءَ

he looked over the state of the melons, or water-melons—البِطِّيخَ

on this sense The maṣdar is as above. In each case: so as to see every one that had not grown, and put another in its place.

2.1.5

See also form 1, in the latter half of that entry.

2.3it became acid, or sour, and spoiled—خلّل

. Said of wine and of other beverages.

Or, said of شَرَاب [i. e. wine and the like], of نَبِيذ [i. e. must and the like], or of expressed juice: it became vinegar. Also اختلّ, but Az disallows this; and تخلّل, but this belongs to the language of the lawyers. Or, said of نبيذ, that last means it was made into vinegar.

Or خلّل, said of شراب, means it spoiled and became vinegar.

2.4the making of vinegar—تَخْلِيلٌ

And so اِخْتِلَالٌ, i. e. of the expressed juice of grapes and of dates.

he made the wine, or beverage, or must and the like, into vinegar—خلّل الخَمْرَ

Also الشَّرَابَ or النَّبِيذ, with the maṣdar as above, the verb being transitive as well as intransitive, and تخلّل النَّبِيذَ.

2.5he put the full-grown unripe dates in the sun, then sprinkled them with vinegar and placed them in a jar—خلّل البُسْرَ

So in the M. For نَضَحَهُ, some copies of the K have نضجه.

The same is done with things other than بُسْر, such as cucumbers, cabbage, بَاذَنْجَان [q. v.], and onions. [In modern usage the verb means he pickled.]

Nounخَلٌّ13 senses · 5 main

Core sense — vinegar; a road in sands; a lean mangenerated

1[Excellent, or most excellent, is the seasoning, vinegar!]—نِعْمَ الإِدَامُ الخَلُّ

A word of well-known meaning: vinegar; that is, expressed juice of grapes and of dates and the like that has become acid, or sour. It is so called because its sweet flavour has become altered for the worse. A genuine Arabic word; the best is that made from wine.

It is composed of two constituents of subtle natures, hot and cold, the cold predominating; and it is good for the stomach; for the gums, which it strengthens when one rinses the mouth with it; for foul ulcers or sores; for the itch; for the bite, or sting, of venomous reptiles; as an antidote for the eating of opium; for burns; and for toothache; and its hot vapour is good for dropsy, for difficulty of hearing, and for ringing in the ears. Various other properties are assigned to it in the TA.

Aboo-Ziyád: خَلَّةٌ means a portion of it [being the ism waḥda]; or it may be a dialectal variant of it, as خَمْرَةٌ is said by some to be of خَمْرٌ. See also خَلَّةٌ.

The plural is خُلُولٌ [meaning sorts, or kinds, of vinegar].

Said in a tradition.

1.1[The mother of vinegar; meaning] wine—أُمُّ الخَلِّ

Hence.

1.2such a one possesses neither good nor evil—مَا فُلَانٌ بِخَلٍّ وَلَا خَمْرٍ

Hence also this saying. Also مَا لَهُ خَلٌّ وَلَا خَمْرٌ or مَا عِنْدَ فُلَانٍ خَلٌّ وَلَا خَمْرٌ; mentioned in the S under خمر.

AA says that some of the Arabs make الخَمْرُ good and الخَلُّ evil — and thus the latter is explained in one place in this article in the K — while others make الخمر evil and الخلّ good.

Same as حَمْضٌ [i. e. a kind of plants in which there is saltness; or salt and bitter plants; or salt, or sour, plants or trees; the opposite of خُلَّةٌ].

A poet says

shāhid

لَيْسَتْ مِنَ الخَلِّ وَلَا الخِمَاطِ

[She is not, or they are not, of the plants or trees called خلّ, nor of the kind called خماط (plural of خَمْطٌ)].

3[a serpent of a road in sands]—حَيَّةُ خَلٍّ

A road in sands; or a road passing through sands; or a road between two tracts of sand; or a road passing through heaped-up sands. Masculine and feminine [like طَرِيقٌ]. Plural [of paucity] أَخْلٌّ, and [of multitude] خِلَالٌ.

Just as one says أَفْعَى صَرِيمَةٍ.

3.1

An oblong tract of sand.

3.2

A vein in the neck and in the back, connecting with the head.

3.3

A slit, or rent, in a garment, or piece of cloth.

An old and worn-out garment, or piece of cloth, with streaks in it: [or so ثَوْبٌ خَلٌّ].

خَلْخَلٌ and خَلْخَلٌ, applied to a garment or piece of cloth, mean old and worn out, or thin, like هَلْهَلٌ and هَلْهَالٌ.

4.1

A bird having no feathers, or having few feathers.

4.2

A man who is lean, meagre, or emaciated; as also خَلِيلٌ [a meaning said in the TA to be figurative], مَخْلُولٌ, and مُخْتَلٌّ; or light in body.

[The feminine] خَلَّةٌ, applied to a woman: light in body, lean, or spare. The plural of خَلٌّ is خُلُولٌ.

It also means fat, so bearing two opposite meanings; and so does مَخْلُولٌ. It is applied to a man and to a camel.

According to the K it also means a [young camel such as is termed] فَصِيل, but it denotes one that is lean, or emaciated; and so مَخْلُولٌ, applied as an adjective to a فصيل, for the reason given above in explaining the phrase خَلَّ الفَصِيلَ.

4.3[They brought them a round cake of bread as though it were the foot of a camel in its second, or third, year,] meaning small—خَلَّةٍ أَتَاهُمْ بِقُرْصٍ كَأَنَّهُ فِرْسِنُ

Also the same as اِبْنُ مَخَاضٍ [i. e. a male camel in his second year]; and so خَلَّةٌ, which is applied to the female as well.

And the same as اِبْنُ لَبُونٍ [i. e. a male camel in, or entering upon, his third year]; and in the same way خَلَّةٌ is applied to the female, or, as in the M, to a she-camel, and, as some say, to a large she-camel.

الخَلَّةِ اِبْنُ means the same as اِبْنُ اللَّبُونِ or اِبْنُ مَخَاضٍ [or ابن المَخَاضِ].

Or كَأَنَّهُ خُفُّ خَلَّةٍ. [In the TA the meaning is given as سَمِينَة (i. e. fat), but this seems to be a mistranscription.]

A cautery.

Or all of these mean a particular true or sincere friendship, love, or affection, in which there is no unsoundness or defect, and which may be chaste and may be vicious. [In the K all are said to be nouns except خُلَّةٌ, as though this were properly a maṣdar, though it has a plural, as shown below.]

[And sometimes simply friendship: see an example in a verse cited under مَرْحَبٌ in art. رحب.]

Or خُلَّةٌ and خَلَّةٌ, or خِلٌّ and خِلَّةٌ, each with kesr, mean true, or sincere, friendship, or love, or affection, and brotherly conduct; the last two as used in the phrases لَكَرِيمُ الخِلِّ إِنَهُ and الخِلَّةِ [i. e. He is generous in respect of true, or sincere, friendship, and the like].

The plural of خُلَّةٌ in the sense explained above is خِلَالٌ.

1.1

See also خَلِيلٌ, in three places.

A kind of plants or herbage [or trees]; namely, the sweet kind; not حَمْض. Or any pasture, or herbage, that is not حَمْض; all pasture, or herbage, consisting of حَمْض, خُلَّة, and حَمْض being such as has saltness [or sourness] in it.

Also the [plant, or tree, called] عَرْفَج, and every tree that remains in winter. According to Lh it is applied to certain kinds of trees and the like; according to IAar, peculiarly to trees; but according to A'Obeyd it does not include any great trees. Also a certain thorny tree.

Also a place of growth, and a place in which there is a collection, of [the plants, or trees, called] عَرْفَج; and any land not containing [the kind of plants, herbage, or trees, called] حَمْض, even though it contains no plants or herbage at all.

ISh says that أَرْضٌ خَلَّةٌ and خُلَلُ الأَرْضِ mean land, and lands, in which there is no حَمْض, sometimes containing [thorny trees such as are called] عِضَاه and sometimes not; and that خُلَّةٌ is also applied to land in which there are no trees and no herbage.

Some say that خُلَّةٌ, as meaning the pasture, or herbage, which is the contrary of حَمْض, has for its plural خِلَالٌ, and that from خِلَال is then formed the plural أَخِلَّةٌ. Some say that this last means herbage that is cut (اُخْتُلّ وَٱجْتُزّ, in which the second verb seems to be an explanatory addition to the first) while green.

They say that the خُلَّة is the bread of camels, and the حَمْض is their fruit, or their flesh-meat, or their خَبِيص.

2.1figurative · مجاز

Hence, by way of comparison, it is applied to ease, or repose; freedom from trouble, inconvenience, and fatigue; or tranquillity; and ampleness of circumstances; and also to life; while حَمْض is applied to evil, and to war, and to death.

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ يُزْجِى سَحَابًا ثُمَّ يُؤَلِّفُ بَيْنَهُۥ ثُمَّ يَجْعَلُهُۥ رُكَامًا فَتَرَى ٱلْوَدْقَ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ خِلَـٰلِهِۦ وَيُنَزِّلُ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مِن جِبَالٍ فِيهَا مِنۢ بَرَدٍ فَيُصِيبُ بِهِۦ مَن يَشَآءُ وَيَصْرِفُهُۥ عَن مَّن يَشَآءُ ۖ يَكَادُ سَنَا بَرْقِهِۦ يَذْهَبُ بِٱلْأَبْصَـٰرِ

Seest thou not that Allah makes the clouds move gently, then joins them together, then makes them into a heap? - then wilt thou see rain issue forth from their midst. And He sends down from the sky mountain masses (of clouds) wherein is hail: He strikes therewith whom He pleases and He turns it away from whom He pleases, the vivid flash of His lightning well-nigh blinds the sight.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

Perforated, or pierced through; like مَخْلُولٌ.

See also خَلٌّ, in the latter half of that entry.

1.2

Poor; needy; in want; as also مُخِلٌّ, or مُخَلٌّ, and مُخْتَلٌّ and أَخَلُّ. أَخِلَّةٌ may be a plural of خَلِيلٌ in this sense.

1.3

A friend; or a true, or sincere, friend; as also خِلٌّ and خُلَّةٌ, which is used alike as masculine and feminine because it was originally a maṣdar [or quasi-maṣdar, i. e. of form 3]; or خِلَّةٌ [thus in the copies of the K, but what goes before, though not immediately, seems to show that the author perhaps meant خُلَّةٌ], used alike as masculine and feminine and singular and plural.

Or a special, or particular, friend, or true or sincere friend; as also خِلٌّ and خُلٌّ; or this latter is used only together with وُدٌّ, as when one says كَانَ لِى وُدًّا وَخُلًّا [He was to me an object of love and a friend].

ISd says that خِلٌّ is the more common, and is applied to a female also; as are خُلَّةٌ and خِلَّةٌ.

خَلِيلٌ also means veracious, thus according to IAar; or a friend in whose friendship there is no خَلَل [i. e. unsoundness, or defect, or imperfection]; or one who is pure and sound in friendship, or love.

The plural is أَخِلَّآءُ, خُلَّانٌ, and أَخِلَّةٌ. The feminine is خَلِيلَةٌ, of which the plural is خَلِيلَاتٌ and خَلَائِلُ. The plural of خِلٌّ or خُلٌّ is أَخْلَالٌ, and the plural of خُلَّةٌ is خِلَالٌ, mentioned before; see form 3, second sentence.

It is applied in the Kur 4:124 to Abraham, who is called خَلِيلُ ٱللّٰه and الخَلِيلُ.

And it is said that the plural أَخِلَّةٌ also means pastors, because they act towards their beasts like أَخِلَّآء [or friends], taking pains to do good to them.
