[As a n. of place it signifies A place in which a thing, or person, is, or becomes, altered, or changed, from its, or his, mode, or manner, of being: and hence, a place in which a thing becomes inverted, or turned upside-down, &c. ― -b3- Hence, also, (assumed tropical:) The final place to which one is translated, or removed, by death; and so ↓ مُتَقَلَّبٌ.] One says, كُلُّ أَحَد يَصِيرُ اـِلَى مُنْقَلَبِهِ and ↓ مُتَقَلَّبِهِ (tropical:) [ Every one reaches, or will reach, his final place to which he is to be translated, or removed ].
