غيل

Root entry · 1 derived lemma

غَيِّلٌ ذ , like سَيِّدٌ, (O, TA,) in the K ↓ غَيْلٌ, but this latter is said by ISd to be of weak authority, (TA,) applied to a garment, Wide, or ample. (O, K, TA.) And so غَيِّلَةٌ applied to a land: (O, TA: [mentioned also in art. غول:]) or, as some say, غَيِّلٌ, thus applied, (O, TA,) but accord. to the context in the K ↓ غَيْلٌ, (TA,) signifies Such as one judges to be of little extent, though it is far extending: (O, K, * TA:) and ذَاتُ غَوْلٍ, so applied, has been mentioned in art. غول as having this meaning. (TA.) And غَيِّلَةٌ applied to a woman signifies Tall: (O, TA:) and so does ذَاتُ غَوْلٍ. (TA in art. غول.)
