فءل

2 تَفْئِيلٌ ذ is of the measure تَفْعِيلٌ from الفَأْلُ: (O, K, * TA: *) [and is app. syn. with تَفَأُّلٌ, signifying The auguring, &c.; or it may signify the auguring, &c., much: accord. to the TK, فَأَّلَهُ بِهِ means جَعَلَهُ يَتَفَأَّلُ بِهِ he made him to augur, &c., by it; but this, as is very often the case in the TK, is app. said only on the ground of conjecture: the only ex. that I have found, to show its true meaning, is that which here follows:] Ru-beh says, لَا يَأْخُذُ التَّفْئِيلُ وَالتَّحَزِّى فِينَا وَلَا قَذْفُ العِدَى ذُو الأَزِّ [which seems evidently to mean, The auguring, &c., or auguring, &c., much, and the divining, will not have any effect upon us; nor the enemies' noisy reviling or reproaching ]: but AA has related it otherwise, substituting التَّأْفِيكُ [lit. the lying ] for التفئيل; and has explained it as meaning the enchanting; because it is a turning of a thing from its proper way, or mode. (O, TA.)
