عبل

عَبْلٌ ذ Large, big, bulky, or thick; (S, O, Msb, K;) as also ↓ عَبِلٌ: (K:) fem. of the former with ة: and pl. [masc.] عِبَالٌ, (S, O, K, TA,) like ضِخَامٌ [pl. of the syn. ضَخْمٌ]: and the pl. of عَبْلَةٌ is عَبْلَاتٌ, (S, O, TA,) [with the ب quiescent,] because it is an epithet. (TA.) It is applied in this sense to anything. (K.) Thus, in a trad., it is applied to a man. (TA.) And one says رَجُلٌ عَبْلُ الذِّرَاعَيْنِ A man large, &c., in the fore arms. (S, O, Msb. *) And فَرَسٌ عَبْلٌ الشَّوَى A horse thick in the legs. (S, O.) And اِمْرَأَةٌ عَبْلَةٌ A woman complete, or perfect, in make or formation. (S, O, Msb.) And ↓ اِمْرَأَةٌ عَبِيلَةٌ A large, big, bulky, (Ibn-'Abbád, O,) or thick, woman. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K. *) And ↓ عَابِلٌ applied to a boy, or young man, signifies Fat: and [so] ↓ عَبُولٌ applied to a woman: pl. of both عُبُلٌ. (TA.)
