1 حَلَيْتُ المَرْأَةَ ذ , aor. حَلِىَ , inf. n. حَلْىٌ, I assigned, or gave, to the woman حُلِىّ [or ornaments ]; and so حَلَوْتُهَا. (S.) [See also 2.] -A2- حَلِيَتْ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. حَلِىَ , (K,) inf. n. as above, (Msb, K,) She (a woman) acquired an ornament, or orna ments: (K:) or she wore on ornament, or orna ments; as also ↓ تحلّت: (Msb, K:) or the former signifies she had an ornament, or orna ments: (S, K:) and ↓ the latter, she adorned herself with an ornament, or ornaments: (S, Mgh, * TA:) or she made for herself an orna ment, or ornaments. (Msb, TA.) ― -b2- لَمْ يَحْلَ مِنْهُ بِطَائِلٍ He gained not, or derived not, from him, or it, any great profit, advantage, or benefit: the verb is not used in this sense except in nega tive phrases; (S, TA;) and is from الحَلْىُ and الحِلْيَةُ; because the mind reckons an ornament as an acquisition: not from حلو. (TA.) [But an affirmative phrase, with the verb حَلِىَ used in a similar sense, is mentioned in the K in art. حلو: see 1 in that art. See also 1 in art. حلأ.] ― -b3- See also حَلِى, below. -A3- حَلِيَتِ الشَّفَةُ: see حَلِئَت, in art. حلأ.
