Core sense — a full bucket, a bucketful; a share, or portion; a giftgenerated

A full bucket, according to Az, El-Fárábee and others; or a bucket containing water, whether little or much — one that is empty is not called سَجْلٌ or ذَنُوبٌ; or a great bucket [see also سَجِيلٌ]; or a great bucket that is full of water; also a bucketful, the quantity that fills a bucket.

It is masculine in gender [though دَلْوٌ, the commonest word for “a bucket,” is generally feminine]. Plural سِجَالٌ.

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredwar is an affair of shares, or portions—الحَرْبُ سِجَالٌ

And [hence] a share, or portion, like دَلَاةٌ [which likewise originally means “a bucket”]; in the article on دلو. [See also سَجِيلٌ.]

That is, the victory in war is shared by turns among the people engaged in it. [But it is implied that it is from المُسَاجَلَةُ, and that سِجَالٌ is here a maṣdar like مُسَاجَلَةٌ, as analogy requires; and if so, the saying may be rendered: war is a contention for superiority. See form 3.]

war between them consists of portions—الحَرْبُ بَيْنَهُمْ سِجَالٌ

That is, a سَجْل [or portion] of it is against these, and another is against these. This comes from two men drawing water from a well with two buckets, each of them having a full bucket in his turn.

he gave him his share, or portion, of such a thing—أَعْطَاهُ سَجْلَهُ مِنْ كَذَا
