دخل

دَخَلٌ دخل primarily signifies A thing that enters into another thing and is not of it. (Bd in xvi. 94.) See دَخْلٌ, in three places. Also Badness, corruptness, or unsoundness; or a bad, a corrupt, or an unsound, state or quality; (S in art. دغل, and K;) in intellect or in body [&c.]. (K.) You say, فِى عَقْلِهِ دَخَلٌ [ In his intellect is an unsoundness ]. (S, K.) And هٰذَاالأَمْرُ فِيهِ دَخَلٌ and دَغَلٌ [ This affair, or case, in it is an unsoundness ]: both signify the same. (S.) ― -b2- Rottenness in a palm-tree. (TA.) ― -b3- Leanness, or emaciation. (TA.) ― -b4- Perfidiousness, faithlessness, or treachery: (K and TA; but not in the CK:) deceit, guile, or circumvention. (S, K.) Hence, in the Kur [xvi. 96], وَلَا تَتَّخِذُوا أَيْمَانَكُمْ دَخَلًا بَيْنَكُمْ [ And make ye not your oaths to be a means of] deceit, or guile, or circumvention, between you. (S, TA. [And in the same sense it is used in verse 94 of the same ch.]) -A2- Also People, or persons, who assert their relationship to those of whom they are not: (K:) in this sense thought by ISd to be a quasi-pl. n. [app. of دَخِيلٌ (q. v.), like as شَرَفٌ is of شَرِيفٌ]. (TA.) You say, هُمْ دَخَلٌ فِى بَنِى فُلَانٍ They are, among the sons of such a one, persons who assert their relationship to them not being of them. (S, K.) [But Freytag asserts, though without naming any authority, evidently taking it from the TK, in which I find it, that one says, هم دخل لهم, and also هو; thus applying it to a single person (which is questionable) as well as to a plurality.] ― -b2- And Tangled, or luxuriant, or abundant and dense, trees; (K;) as also دَغَلٌ. (TA.)
