muḍāriʿـِيَفْعِلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarغَلْفٌ إِغْلَافٌ غَلَفٌ

Core sense — he put a thing in a case; he smeared his beard; he was uncircumcisedgenerated

1.1he put a bottle, flask, or knife, and the like, into a غِلَاف—غَلْفٌ

.

Also اغلف.

Also غلّف, maṣdar تَغْلِيفٌ; or this one means, or also means, he furnished it with a غِلَاف; or غلّف has that meaning.

Lth says that أَغْلَفْتُ القَارُورَةَ is from الغِلَافُ, and likewise غَلَّفْتُهَا, maṣdar تَغْلِيفٌ.

1.1.1he smeared his beard with غَالِيَة, or with other perfume—غَلَفَ لِحْيَتَهُ بِالغَالِيَةِ

So Lth. It is said also with حِنَّآء and غَلَّفَهَا.

IDrd says that this is how the common people speak, and that the correct phrase is غَلَّاهَا, بالغالية, and غَلَّلَهَا.

I used to smear the beard of the Apostle of God with غالية, and abundantly—كُنْتُ أُغَلِّفُ لِحْيَةَ رَسُولِ ٱللّٰهِ
he smeared himself, or his beard, with غالية and the other sorts of perfume—تغلّف

This occurs in a tradition of ʿĀʾisheh.

Also said as بِالغَالِيَةِ and وَسَائِرِ الطِّيبِ.

In the same way one says اغتلف, مِنَ الغَالِيَةِ, or مِنَ الطِّيبِ.

But by IDrd's rule, given above, these are wrong, and should be only تَغَلَّى, تَغَلَّلَ, اِغْتَلَى, and اِغْتَلَّ.

Ibn-El-Faraj: one says تغلّف بالغالية when it is on the outside, and تغلّل بِهَا when it is inside, at the roots of the hair.
