خل

8 اختلّ أختل اختل ختل ٱختال ٱختل ٱختلى [primarily signifies] It had interstices, breaks, chinks, or the like. (MA. [See خَلَلٌ.]) ― -b2- [And hence,] It was, or became, shaky, loose, lax, uncompact, disordered, unsound, corrupt, (Msb,) faulty, or defective, (KL, Msb,) [and weak, or infirm, (see خَلَلٌ and مُخْتَلٌّ,)] said of a thing or an affair; (KL;) it became altered for the worse. (Msb.) [You say, اختلّ مِزَاجُهُ His constitution, or temperament, became in a corrupt or disordered state. And اختلّ alone He was, or became, disordered in temper; (see تَحَمَّضَ;) but this seems to be from the same verb said of a camel; (see اختلّت الأِبِلُ, below;) for the camel becomes disordered in his stomach by pasturing long upon خُلَّة, without shifting to حَمْض. And اختلّ عَقْلَهُ His mind, or intellect, was, or became, unsound, or disordered. ] And اختلّ أَمْرُهُ [ His affair, or state, was, or became, unsound, corrupt, or disordered ]; (S, voce اِضْطَرَبَ;) i. e. وَقَعَ فِيهِ الخَلَلُ. (JM.) ― -b3- He was, or became, lean, meagre, or emaciated; (KL;) and so اختلّ جِسْمُهُ. (S.) See 1, first sentence. ― -b4- See also خَلَّ as syn. with أَخَلَّ or أُخِلَّ &c., near the beginning of the first paragraph. [Hence,] اختلّ اـِلَيْهِ He wanted it, or needed it; (S, Msb, K;) namely, a thing; (S, Msb;) as also اليه ↓ أَخَلَّ: (TA:) whence the saying of Ibn-Mes'ood, عَلَيْكُمْ بِالعِلْمِ فَاـِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَايَدْرِى مَتَى يُخْتَلُّ اـِلَيْهِ [ Keep ye to the pursuit of knowledge, or science; for any one of you knows not, or will not know, when it will be wanted, or needed ]; i. e., when men will want, or need, that [knowledge] which he possesses. (S.) You say also, اُخْتُلَّ اـِلَى فُلَانٍ Such a one was wanted, or needed. (JK.) -A2- See also 2, in two places. -A3- اختلّهُ بِالرُّمْحِ, and بِالسَّهْمِ: and يَخْتَلُّ الثَّوْرُ الكَلْبَ بِقَرْنِهِ: see 1, in the former half of the paragraph. ― -b2- اختلّ also signifies He served together. (KL.) ― -b3- اُخْتُلَّ said of herbage: see خُلَّةٌ, near the end of the paragraph. -A4- اختلّ المَكَانُ The place had in it خُلَّة [q. v.]. (MA.) ― -b2- And اختلّت الاـِبِلُ The camels were confined in [ pasturage such as is termed ] خُلَّة. (K.)
