عل

عَالَّةٌ ذ and [its pls.] عَوَالُّ and عَلَّى epithets applied to camels [as meaning Taking, or having taken, a second draught; and so the first applied to a single she-camel]. (TA.) It is said in a prov., عَرَضَ عَلَىَّ سَوْمَ عَالَّةٍ [ He offered to me in the manner of offering water to those (camels) taking, or having taken, a second draught ]; (S, O, K, TA; in the CK, عُرِضَ and سَوْمُ;) applied to one who offers food to him who does not need it; like the saying of the vulgar, عَرْضَ سَابِرِىٍّ; (TA;) i. e., without energy; for one does not offer drink to the عالّة with energy, as one does to the نَاهِلَة [or those taking, or having taken, the first draught]. (S, O, K, TA. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 84.])
