رِحَالَةٌ ذ A سَرْج [or horse's saddle ]: (K:) or a سَرْج of skins, (S, M, Msb, K,) in which is no wood; used for vehement running [ of the horse ]: (S, M, K:) ISd says also that it is one of the vehicles [or saddles ] of women, like the رَحْل: but Az says that it is one of the vehicles [or saddles ] of men, exclusively of women, i. e. not of women; as is also the رَحْل: and some say that it is larger than the سَرْج, covered with skins, and is for horses, and for excellent, or strong and light and swift, camels: (TA:) pl. رَحَائِلُ. (S.) When a man is hasty in doing evil to his companion, one says to him, اِسْتَقْدَمَتْ رِحَالَتُكَ [lit. Thy saddle has got before thee, or shifted forwards ]: (S in the present art.:) it is a prov., meaning that has preceded than which another was more fit to do so. (S in art. قدم.) In the following saying of Imra-el-Keys, addressing his wife, فَاـِمَّا تَرَيْنِى فِى رِحَالَةِ جَابِرٍ عَلَى حَرَجٍ كَا@لْقَرِّتَخْفِقُ أَكْفَانِى [ And either thou wilt see me upon the saddle of Jábir, upon a bier like the vehicle called قَرّ, my grave-clothes fluttering ], he means, by the word رحالة, [merely] the حَرَج; there being in this case no رحالة in reality: it is like the saying, جَاآءَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى نَاقَةِ الحَذَّاآءِ, meaning [“ Such a one came upon] the sandal [or sandals]: ” Jábir is the name of a certain carpenter. (S.) -A2- Also A ewe. (Ibn-'Abbád, TA.) [Hence,] رِحَالَهْ رِحَالَهْ is A call to the ewe, (Ibn-'Abbád, K,) on the occasion of milking. (Ibn-'Abbád, TA.) ― -b2- And الرِّحَالَةُ is the name of A certain horse of 'Ámir Ibn-Et-Tufeyl; (K;) erroneously said by AO to be الحمالة. (TA.)
