Core sense — he exceeded the proper limit; he shot an arrow far; the price became highgenerated

1.1

. It primarily means: he, or it, exceeded the proper, due, or common limit; was excessive, immoderate, or beyond measure.

Er-Rāghib: the maṣdar differs from case to case, as is shown below.

It is said of anything, meaning it exceeded, or was excessive.

1.1.1he exceeded the proper limit in the affair; he was excessive in it—غَلَا فِى الأَمْرِ

Muḍāriʿ as above; maṣdar غُلُوٌّ and غَلَانِيَةٌ.

IAth: الغُلُوُّ فِى الدِّينِ is the investigating of the inner states of things [in religion], and looking into their causes and the obscure points of its rites and ceremonies. [See also form 3.]

Core sense — a she-camel that goes quickly; an arrow shot beyond the usual limitgenerated

See the preceding entry.

1.1a she-camel that goes quickly, the feet of her fore legs and of her hind legs falling in one place—نَاقَةٌ مِغْلَاةُ الوَهَقِ

It is explained by تَغْتَلِى, followed by the words إِذَا تَوَاهَقَتْ أَخْفَافُهَا, which I have rendered here according to an explanation given under وهق in the O. But the phrase مغلاة الوهق is mentioned there as an example of الوَهَق in the sense of "the lasso", from which it appears that the phrase literally means one that goes beyond the reach of the lasso; this agrees with Golius's explanation, "rapide currens, et fugiens laqueum sibi injiciendum".

Or the meaning is a she-camel that steps far in vying, or keeping pace, with another: in explaining the phrase مِغْلَاةُ الوَهَقِ, IB says that المِغْلَاةُ, applied to the she-camel, means اَلَّتِى تُبْعِدُ الخَطْوَ, and that الوَهَقُ means المُبَارَاةُ and المُسَايَرَةُ. Mentioned under هِرْجَابٌ.
