سجل

سَجْلٌ ذ A full bucket: so accord. to Az and ElFárábee and others: (MS:) or a bucket containing water, whether little or much: such as is empty is not called سَجْلٌ nor ذَنُوبٌ: (S:) or a great bucket: (Msb: [see also سَجِيلٌ:]) or a great bucket that is full (K, TA) of water: (TA:) and a bucketful; the quantity that fills a bucket: (K:) it is of the masc. gender [though دَلْوٌ (the most common word for “ a bucket ”) is generally fem.]: (S, K:) pl. سِجَالٌ. (S.) ― -b2- And [hence,] (assumed tropical:) A share, or portion; (Msb;) like دَلَاةٌ [which likewise originally signifies “ a bucket ”]. (S in art. دلو. [See also سَجِيلٌ.]) And hence is derived the saying, الحَرْبُ سِجَالٌ, [as though meaning (assumed tropical:) War is an affair of shares, or portions; ] i. e. the victory in war is shared by turns among the people [engaged therein]: (Msb:) [but it is implied in the S that it is from المُسَاجَلَةُ, and that سِجَالٌ is here an inf. n. like مُسَاجَلَةٌ, agreeably with analogy; and if so, the saying may be rendered war is a contention for superiority: (see 3:)] or the saying الحَرْبُ بَيْنَهُمْ سِجَالٌ means (assumed tropical:) [ War between them consists of portions, in such a manner that ] a سَجْل [or portion ] thereof is against these, and another is against these: (K:) originating from the act of two men drawing water with two buckets from a well, each of them having [in his turn] a full bucket. (TA.) You say also, أَعْطَاهُ سَجْلَهُ مِنْ كَذَا (tropical:) He gave him his share, or portion, of such a thing; like as one says, ذَنُوبَهُ. (Har p. 19.) The phrase سَجْلٌ ↓ سَجِيلٌ in the saying لَهُمْ مِنَ المَجْدِ سَجْلٌ سَجِيلٌ (K, * TA) has an intensive signification; (K, TA;) [the saying app. meaning (assumed tropical:) They have, of glory, a large share. ] ― -b3- Hence likewise, metaphorically applied to signify (tropical:) A gift: one says جَوَادٌ عَظِيمُ السَّجْلِ (tropical:) [ A bountiful man who is large in gift ]. (Har ibid. [The first word in this saying is there written جوّاد.]) One says also, لَهُ بِرٌّ فَائِضُ السِّجَالِ (assumed tropical:) [ He has overflowing goodness or beneficence ]. (TA.) ― -b4- Also (assumed tropical:) A bountiful man. (Abu-l-' Omeythil, K.) ― -b5- And (assumed tropical:) A great udder: pl. سِجَالٌ and سُجُولٌ. (K.) -A2- See also سِجِلٌّ, in two places.
