Form 1وَلَجَ1 sense

maṣdarوُلُوجٌmuḍāriʿيَلِجُ

Core sense — he entered, it entered into somethinggenerated

1.1he entered the house—وَلَجَ البَيْتَ

maṣdar وُلُوجٌ, لِجَةٌ, إِتَّلَجَ and تولّج: he, or it, entered.

he entered the house—اتّلجه

he entered the house—تولّجهُ

the thing entered into another thing—وَلَجَ الشَّىْءُ فِى غَيرِهِ

Sb says that وَلَجَ has for its, which is one of the measures of the maṣdars of intransitive verbs, because the meaning of وَلَجْتُ البَيْتَ is وَلَجْتُ فِيهِ.

Sb is said to hold that the intermediate particle is dropped, but Mohammad Ibn-Yezeed holds the verb to be transitive without an intermediate particle.

MF observes that Sb's words appear to make ولج a transitive verb, which no one asserts it to be: if he means that it has as its complement a noun in the accusative as an adverbial noun of place, it is like دَخَلْتُ and other intransitive verbs; but if he means that it governs a simple object, like ضَرَبْتُ زَيْدًا, his opinion is not correct.
