Lane's Lexicon (Edward Lane, 1863)

فَكَّةٌ ذ [an inf. n.: see 1, last sentence]. -A2- الفَكَّةُ is the name of One of the northern constellations, [ Corona Borealis, ] (Kzw,) certain stars, (S, O, K,) eight stars, called in Pers. كاسه درويشان, (Kzw,) behind السِّمَاك الرَّامِح [i. e. Arcturus ], (S, O, K,) [ near ] behind the staff of الصَّيَّاح [which is a name of Bootes ], (Kzw,) having a circling form, (S, O, K, and Kzw,) but with a gap, or breach, in the circling, for which reason, [agreeably with the Pers. appellation mentioned above,] it is called قَصْعَةُ المَسَاكِينِ [ the bowl of the paupers ], (Kzw,) this being the name given to it by the children. (As, S, O, K.)

فَكَكٌ ذ An unknit, or a loosened, state (اِنْفِرَاج) of the مَنْكِب [or shoulder-joint ]. (K. [But see 1, last explanation but one, where it is mentioned as an inf. n.]) ― -b2- And (K) A state of dislocation of the foot: (S, O, K:) hence the phrase, in a verse of Ru-beh, كَمُنْهَاضِ الفَلَكٌ: (S, O: *) but (in this instance, O), accord. to As, الفَلَك is used by poetic license for الفَكّ [meaning “ the jaw, ” so that the phrase signifies like him whose jaw has become broken after its having been set ]. (S, O.) ― -b3- And A state of fracture of the jaw: (K, TA:) or of dislocation thereof. (TA.)

فَكَاكُ الرَّهْنِ ذ and فِكَاكُهُ, (S, O, Msb, * K,) the latter mentioned by Ks (S, O, Msb) and ISk, (Msb,) That wherewith the pledge is, or is to be, redeemed: (S, O, Msb, * K:) so in a verse cited voce غَلَقَ. (S, O.)

(En-Nadr, TA.) ― -b3- And (tropical:) Foolish, or stupid: (S, O: *) or very foolish, or stupid: (IAar, K, TA:) and you say فَاكٌّ تَاكٌّ, (IAar, S, O, TA,) making تاكّ an imitative sequent: or, accord. to Yaakoob, you say شَيْخٌ فَاكٌّ وَتَاكٌّ: thus he makes تاكّ a substitute, not an imitative sequent. (TA.) And أَحْمَقُ فَاكٌّ وَهَاكٌّ (tropical:) [ A foolish, or stupid, person, ] one who talks of that which he knows and of that which he knows not, and is more, or oftener, incorrect than correct. (El-Hoseybee, TA.) Pl. فَكَكَةٌ and فِكَاكٌ. (IAar, K.)

[There expl. as signifying مَسْكُورُ الفَكِّ; a mistranscription, for مَكْسُورُالفَكِّ: see فَكَكٌ, last sentence.]) -A2- See also الفَكُّ.

مُفِكَّةٌ ذ , applied to a she-camel, part. n. of أَفَكَّت [q. v.]: (O, TA:) and مُفْكِهٌ and مُفْكِهَةٌ are syn. therewith. (TA.)

مُتَفَكِّكَةٌ ذ A mare desiring the stallion, (AO, O, K,) not offering opposition to him. (AO, O.)

مُنْفَكِّينَ ذ in the Kur [xcviii. 1], (O, TA,) followed by the words حَتَّى تَأْتِيَهُمُ ا@لْبَيِّنَةُ, (O,) means, accord. to Mujáhid (O, TA) and Zj, (TA,) In the condition of desisting (O, TA) from their infidelity; (TA;) or, as Akh says, ceasing from their infidelity: (TA:) or, accord. to another, (O,) namely, Niftaweyh, (TA,) quitting the present state of existence, (O, TA,) i. e., sharing, one with another, in perdition, until the evidence came to them (O, TA) that had been affirmed to them in the Towráh, with respect to the description of Mohammad &c.; تَأْتِيَهُم being lit. an aor., but in its meaning a pret.: (O:) Az says that it is not from مَا ا@نْفَكَّ meaning مَا زَالَ, but from اِنْفِكَاكُ الشَّىْءِ مِنَ الشَّىْءِ meaning “ the thing's becoming separated from the thing: ” accord. to IAar, as mentioned by Th, فُكَّ فُلَانٌ means “ Such a one was set free, and at rest, from a thing; ” and hence منفكّين in the Kur means experiencing rest: accord. to Er-Rághib, it means separated, or separated into several parties; for all [to whom the word, preceded by a negative, relates] were assenting to error. (TA.)

1 فَكَرَ فِيهِ ذ , (O, * Msb, K,) aor. فَكُرَ , (O, TK,) or فَكِرَ , (Msb,) inf. n. فَكْرٌ; (S, O, Msb, K; *) and ↓ أَفْكَرَ; (S, O, Msb, K;) and ↓ فكّر, (S, O, K,) [which is more common than either of the first and second,] inf. n. تَفْكِيرٌ; (O, TA;) and ↓ تفكّر; (S, O, Msb, K;) and ↓ افتكر, (Msb, TA,) but this last is vulgar; (TA;) He thought upon it, considered it, or examined it [ mentally ]; (Msb;) he considered it in order to obtain a clear knowledge of it; (S, O, * TA;) he employed his mind, (M, TA,) or his consideration, (K, TA,) upon it. (M, K, TA.) [See also فِكْرٌ.]

2 فَكَّرَ 4, 5, and 8: see the preceding paragraph.

فَكْرٌ ذ inf. n. of 1 [q. v.]. ― -b2- لَيْسَ لِى فِى هٰذَا الأَمْرِ فَكْرٌ, (Yaakoob, S, O, K, *) which is more chaste than ↓ فِكْرٌ, [in this case,] (Yaakoob, S, O,) but the latter is sometimes used, (K,) means I have no want, or need, of this thing: (Yaakoob, S, O, K: *) or, as is said in the A, لَا فَكْرَ لِى فِى هٰذَا i. e. I have no want, or need, of this, nor do I care for it. (TA.)

فِكْرٌ ذ and ↓ فِكْرَةٌ (S, O, Msb, K) and ↓ فِكْرَى, (Lth, O, K,) are simple substs., (S, O, Msb, *) but the last is of rare occurrence, (Lth, O,) signifying Thought, consideration, or [ mental ] examination, فِى أَمْرٍ [ respecting a thing ]; (Msb;) consideration [of a thing] in order to obtain a clear knowledge [of it]; (S, TA;) the employment of the mind, (M, TA,) or of the consideration, (K, TA,) upon a thing: (M, K, TA:) or repeated consideration for the purpose of seeking [ to discover ] meanings: or the arranging of things in the mind in order, by them, to arrive at some object of which the attainment is desired, though it be but a preponderating opinion: (Msb:) or the arranging of known things [ in the mind ] in order to attain to [ the knowledge of ] an unknown [ thing ]: (KT:) pl. of the first أَفْكَارٌ: (IDrd, K;) but Sb says that neither فِكْرٌ nor عِلْمٌ nor نَظَرٌ has any pl.: (TA:) the pl. of ↓ فِكْرَةٌ is فِكَرٌ. (Msb.) One says, لِفُلَانٍ فِكَرٌ كُلُّهَا فِقَرٌ [ Such a one has thoughts all of which are points of wit ]. (A, TA.) -A2- See also فَكْرٌ.

فِكْرَةٌ ذ : see the next preceding paragraph; the former in two places.

فِكْرَى ذ : see the next preceding paragraph; the former in two places.

فِكِّيرٌ ذ [ Thoughtful; ] having much فِكْر; (IF, S, O, K;) as also ↓ فَيْكَرٌ. (Kr, K.)

فَيْكَرٌ ذ : see what next precedes.

8 افتكل فِى فِعْلِهِ ذ i. q. اِحْتَفَلَ [ He strove, laboured, or exerted himself, &c., in his doing ]; (IAar, O, K;) said of a man. (IAar, O.)

أَفْكَلُ ذ A tremour, (S, O, K,) from cold or from fear: (S:) hence, in a trad., أَخَذَنِى أَفْكَلُ [ A tremour seized me ]: (S, * O:) and in another, فَبَاتَ وَلَهُ أَفْكَلُ [ And he passed the night having a tremour, or shivering ]: (O:) thus used, as indeterminate, it is perfectly decl.; but if used as a [proper] name of a man, it is imperfectly decl. because determinate and also of the measure of a verb: (S, O:) some say, (IF, O,) no verb is formed from it; (IF, S, O;) but such is not the case, for they said رَجُلٌ مَفْكُولٌ [which shows that it had a verb though none is known to have been in use]. (IF, O.) [أَخَذَتْ بِى نَاقَتِى أَفْكَلًا مِنَ السَّيْرِ is a saying mentioned in the O and K, (in the former as from Ibn-'Abbád,) but the meaning is not expl., nor indicated by the context, in either of them; and the strangeness of its phraseology convinces me that it presents a mistranscription: I believe that the first word is mistranscribed for أَحْدَثَتْ, and, consequently, that the meaning is, My she-camel produced in me a tremour arising from the rate of journeying: some copies of the K, as is stated in the TA, for مِنَ السَّيْرِ, have من السَّبْقِ, from the outstripping. ] ― -b2- Also The [ bird commonly called ] شِقِرَّاق [generally meaning the green wood-pecker ]; (O, K;) because they regard it as of evil omen; so that when it presents itself to them, they are frightened at it, and tremble. (O.) -A2- And A company, or collective body, of men: one says, جَاؤُوا بِأَفْكَلِهِمْ They came with their company [i. e. all together ]. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) أَفَاكِيلُ [is app. a pl. thereof, and, as such,] signifies أَفْوَاجٌ [pl. of فَوْجٌ, q. v.]: thus in the phrase أَفَاكِيلُ مِنْ كَذَا [app. meaning Multitudes of such a kind of thing ]: (K:) [or] thus in the saying, mentioned by Ibn-'Abbád, عِنْدَهُ أَفَاكِيلُ مِنْ كَلَامٍ [app. meaning He has multitudes of sayings, or words; for كَلَامٌ (q. v.) is used in a pl. sense as well as in a sing. sense]. (O. [The difference of these two exs. in respect of the last word suggests that there may be in one of them a mistranscription.])

مَفْكُولٌ ذ [the pass. part. n. of a verb which is not mentioned,] Affected with a tremour. (IF, O, K, TA. [See أَفْكَلُ, first sentence.])

1 فَكِهَ ذ , aor. فَكَهَ , inf. n. فَكَاهَةٌ (S, Mgh, K) and فَكَهٌ, (K, TA,) [the latter inf. n. correctly thus, agreeably with a general rule, in the CK with the ك quiescent, but said in the TA to be بالتحريك,] (assumed tropical:) He was, or became, cheerful, happy, or free from straitness; (S, Mgh, K;) jocose, or given to jesting, (S, Mgh,) and to laughing: (Mgh, K:) or one who talked to his companions and made them to laugh. (K.) ― -b2- See also 5.

2 فَكَّهَهُمْ ذ , inf. n. تَفْكِيهٌ, He brought to them فَاكِهَة [i. e. fruit ]. (K.) ― -b2- And [hence] فَكَّهَهُمْ بِمُلَحِ الكَلَامِ, inf. n. as above, (tropical:) He entertained them in a novel manner with facetious sayings or talk. (K, TA.)

3 فاكههُ ذ , (K,) inf. n. مُفَاكَهَةٌ, (S,) (tropical:) He jested, or joked, with him; (S, K, TA;) indulged in pleasantry with him. (TA.) It is said in a prov., لَا تُفَاكِهْ أَمَةً وَلَاتَبُلْ عَلَى أَكَمَةٍ (tropical:) [ Jest not thou with a female slave, and make not water upon a hillock, i. e. and publish not what is secret of thine affair: see art. اكم]. (S, TA.) [See also an ex. in a verse cited voce تَزَنَّدَ.]

4 أَفْكَهَتْ ذ She (a camel) yielded her milk plentifully on the occasion of eating the [ herbage called ] رَبِيع, before her bringing forth: (S, TA:) or she being near to bringing forth, her صَلَوَانِ [app. meaning two parts on the right and left of the tail (see صَلًا in art. صلو)] became lax, or flaccid, and her udder became large; like أَفَكَّت. (TA in art. فك. [See also the part. n., below.])

5 تفكّه ذ He ate fruit (فَاكِهَة): (Msb, K:) and He took fruit with his hand, [ he helped himself to it; ] syn. تَنَاوَلَ الفَاكِهَةَ: and hence, as is said in the A, (TA,) the saying in the Kur [lvi. 65], فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ is ironical, meaning [ And then ye would be in the condition of ] making your fruit to be your saying اـِنَّا لَمُغْرَمُونَ Verily we are burdened with debt (which words occur in the next verse)]: or تَفَكَّهَ here [or rather in a case of this kind] means He threw away from himself the fruit: thus says Ibn-'Ateeyeh, (K, TA,) in his exposition: (TA:) [but see other explanations in what follows:] and it signifies also He abstained from fruit: thus it bears two contr. meanings. (K.) ― -b2- And sometimes [it means (tropical:) He amused himself with talk; like as one amuses himself with the eating of fruit after a meal; i. e.] التَّفَكُّهُ is metaphorically used as meaning التَّنَقُّلُ بِالحَدِيثِ. (Bd in lvi. 65.) ― -b3- And (assumed tropical:) He affected jesting, or joking. (TA.) ― -b4- And تفكّهوا بِفُلَانٍ (assumed tropical:) They spoke evil of such a one; or did so in his absence; and defamed him; and did thus with jesting, one with another. (TA.) ― -b5- And تفكّه بِهِ (assumed tropical:) He enjoyed it: (S, Msb, K:) and [particularly] (Msb) he enjoyed the eating of it. (Mgh, Msb.) ― -b6- And تفكّه also signifies (assumed tropical:) He wondered, (S, Msb, K,) مِنْهُ at it; and so ↓ فَكِهَ, followed likewise by منه. (K.) And hence [accord. to some] the saying in the Kur cited above, فَظَلْتُمْ تَفَكَّهُونَ i. e. (assumed tropical:) [ And then ye would be in the condition of ] wondering at what had befallen you in respect of your seed-produce. (TA.) ― -b7- And He repented, grieved, lamented, or regretted: (IAar, S, K:) and the words of the Kur cited in the last sentence above, (S, TA,) as expl. by some, (TA,) mean [ And then ye would be in the condition of ] repenting, &c.: (S, TA:) and so تَفَكَّنُونَ, which is of the dial. of 'Okl; or, accord. to Lh, Temeem say تَتَفَكَّنُونَ, and AzdShanoo-ah say تَتَفَكَّهُونَ. (TA.)

6 تَفَاكُهٌ ذ signifies The jesting, or joking, [or indulging in pleasantry, (see 3,) of a number of persons,] one with another, (K.) [You say, تفاكهوا They jested, &c., one with another. ]

فَكِهٌ ذ Eating, or an eater of, فَاكِهَة [i. e. fruit ]; (K, TA;) a possessive epithet; applied to a man. (TA.) ― -b2- Also, (S, Mgh, K,) and ↓ فَاكِهٌ, (K, TA, in the CK فَاكِهَةٌ,) and ↓ فيكهان [app. فَيْكَهَانٌ or فَيْكِهَانٌ, like تيَّهَانٌ], (AZ, TA,) (assumed tropical:) Cheerful, happy, or free from straitness; (AZ, S, Mgh, K;) jocose, or given to jesting, (AZ, S, Mgh,) and to laughing: (Mgh, K:) or the first, (K, TA,) and second, (K,) one who talks to his companions and makes them to laugh: (K, TA:) and فَكِهَاتٌ, applied to women, cheerful, happy, or free from straitness. (TA.) ― -b3- And فَكِهٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) Exulting, or rejoicing above measure; or exulting greatly, and behaving insolently and unthankfully, or ungratefully: (S, TA:) and thus the pl. فَكِهِينَ signifies in the Kur (S, Mgh) xlix. 26 [as some there read]: (S:) ↓ فَاكِهِينَ [is the more common reading and] means enjoying an easy and a pleasant life; or enjoying case and plenty. (S, Mgh.) ― -b4- And (assumed tropical:) Wondering: and thus some explain the pl. فَكِهُونَ in the Kur xxxvi. 55. (TA.) ― -b5- هُوَ فَكِهٌ بِأَعْرَاضِ النَّاسِ means (tropical:) He is one who delights in speaking evil of men, or in doing so in their absence. (K, TA.)

[ فَكِيهْ ذ is said by Golius to signify “ Qui proloqui non potest, ” on the authority of the KL: but in my copy of the KL, I find that the word to which this meaning is assigned is فَهِيهٌ.]

فُكَاهَةٌ ذ , a subst. [as distinguished from the inf. n. فَكَاهَةٌ], (S, K,) A jesting, or joking; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) as also ↓ فَكِيهَةٌ. (K.)

فَاكِهٌ ذ Possessing فَاكِهَة [i. e. fruit ]; (K, TA:) an epithet of the same class as تَامِرٌ and لَابِنٌ: or, accord. to Aboo-Mo'ádh the grammarian, one whose fruit has become abundant. (TA.) ― -b2- See also فَكِهٌ, in two places. ― -b3- And [the fem.] فَاكِهَةٌ, (assumed tropical:) A palm-tree (نَخْلَةٌ) inducing wonder, or admiration, and pleasure, or joy; or pleasing, or rejoicing; [app. by its having much fruit; ] syn. مُعْجِبَةٌ. (K.)

فَاكِهَةٌ ذ a word of well-known meaning, (S,) Fruit, of any kind; (K;) a thing, or things, the eating whereof is enjoyed, (Mgh, Msb,) whether moist or dry, as figs and melons and raisins and pomegranates: (Msb:) [the words, of the Kur lv. 68, فِيهِمَا فَاكِهَةٌ وَنَخْلٌ وَرُمَّانٌ have caused it to be much and vainly disputed whether dates and pomegranates be, or be not, included among the things termed فاكهة: it seems to be the general opinion of the lexicologists that they are included; but the contrary opinion is held by many of the lawyers, and by the Imám Aboo- Haneefeh among them:] the pl. is فَوَاكِهُ, meaning kinds thereof. (S.) ― -b2- And (by way of comparison [thereto], TA) (tropical:) Sweetmeat; syn. حَلْوَاآء; (K;) which is also applied by some to “ fruit ” (فاكهة), (T in art. حلو,) or to “ sweet fruit. ” (K in that art.) ― -b3- And فَاكِهَةُ الشِّتَاآءِ [lit. The fruit of winter ] is metonymically used as meaning (tropical:) the fire. (Har p. 594.)

كَانَ مِنْ أَفْكَهِ النَّاسِ ذ occurs in two trads. [as meaning (assumed tropical:) He was of the most cheerful and jocose of men ]. (TA [in which the meaning is indicated by the context].)

أُفْكُوهَةٌ ذ i. q. أُعْجُوبَةٌ (assumed tropical:) [ A wonderful thing ]. (K.) You say, جَاآءَ فُلَانٌ بِأُفْكُوهَةٍ (assumed tropical:) [ Such a one did, or uttered, a wonderful thing ]. (TA.)

مُفْكِهٌ ذ (AZ, S, K) and مُفْكِهَةٌ (K) A she-camel whose milk is thick, (K, TA,) like biestings: (TA:) or that yields her milk plentifully on the occasion of eating the [ herbage called ] رَبِيع, before her bringing forth: (S:) or whose milk pours forth on the occasion of parturition, before her bringing forth: or, accord. to Sh, the meaning is that indicated by the second explanation of the verb, 4 [q. v.].

[See also قَرَعَ صَفَاتَهُ, in art. صفو; and see also مَغْمَزٌ.]) And [in like manner] one says, غَرْبَهُ ↓ استفلّ meaning كَسَرَهُ [i. e.

5 تَفَلَّ3َ see the next paragraph, in three places: -A2- and see also R. Q. 1, in two places [in each of which the verb is most probably, I think, mistranscribed].

Its edges (for the swords of the Arabs in the older times were generally two-edged), or its parts for striking, became broken, or notched, much, or in many places ]; (S, TA;) and one says, انفلّ سِنُّهُ, (T, TA,) meaning [simply] His tooth became broken, or notched, in its edge.

(T accord. to the TT.) -A3- فلفل الطَّعَامَ and الشَّرَابَ He peppered the food and the wine or beverage. (M.) -A4- [And فلفل الشَّعَرَ He made the hair very crisp, or such as we term woolly, like that of the negro: see the pass. part. n., below.]

R. Q. 2 تَفَلْفَلَ ذ : see R. Q. 1, in three places. -A2- Said of the hair of a negro, It became very crisp [or such as we term woolly ]. (M, TA.) ― -b2- And تفلفل قَادِمَتَا الضَّرْعِ The two anterior teats of the udder became black. (S, O, K.)

يَا فُلُ ذ , (S in this art. and in art. فلن, and K and TA in the latter art.,) meaning يَا فُلَانُ [ O such a one ], (S &c.,) with refa and without tenween, (TA,) is sometimes said to one person, [i. e. to a man,] and يَا فُلَانِ to two persons, and يَا فُلُونَ to a pl. number; and يَا فُلَةُ to a female, and يَا فُلَتَانِ to two females, and يَا فُلَاتُ to a pl. number of females, (K, TA,) and sometimes يَا فُلَاةُ, (K, * TA,) thus correctly, of the dial. of some of the tribe of Temeem, in the copies of the K erroneously written يا فُلَاتُ, (TA,) is said, and some say يَا فُلَ, [in the CK يافلُ, but correctly يافُلَ, i. e., as is said in the TA, بِنَصْبِ اللَّامِ,] meaning يَا فُلَةُ: (K, TA:) [J says,] يَا فُلُ, without teshdeed, said in calling to a person, is apocopated from يَا فُلَانُ; not formed in the way of تَرْخِيم, for if it were an instance of ترخيم they would say يَا فُلَا: (S in this art.:) [or,] accord. to Sb, يَا فُلُ is not held to be an instance of a word from which is elided something that is retained when it is not [thus] used in calling to a person, but the noun in this case is made to be of two letters in the manner of دَمٌ [which is originally دَمَوٌ or دَمًى or دَمْىٌ], and it is thus made to be of two letters because a word that is used in calling to a person or thing is a subject for elision: (M in this art.:) and sometimes فُل was used otherwise than in calling to a person, by poetic license, as in the saying of Abu-n-Nejm, فِى لَجَّةٍ أَمْسِكْ فُلَانًا عَنْ فُلِ (S and M in this art.,) meaning عن فُلَانٍ [i. e. In, or amid, a multitude of cries, or noises: (thus expl. in the S:) withhold thou such a one from such a one ]: (S in art. فلن:) and Sb disallowed the saying فُلُ as meaning فُلَان [in the CK (erroneously) يا فُلُ as meaning يا فُلَانُ] except [in the vocative form of speech and] in poetry: (M and K and TA in art. فلن:) [but] they said [also] فُلُ بْنُ فُلِ, [said to be] an instance of an elision, (T and M in art. فلن,) i. e. of the elision of a final و [accord. to some, who hold فُلَانٌ to be originally فُلْوَانٌ]; (T;) like as they said هَىُّ بْنُ بَىٍّ: (T, M:) and أَىْ فُلْ, with the ل quiescent, occurs in a trad. respecting the resurrection; meaning يَا فُلَانُ: (TA:) Ibn-Buzurj says that some of the tribe of اسد [i. e. Asd or Asad] say يا فل [app. يَافُلُ, without any variation,] in calling to a man and to two men and to a pl. number of men and to a female: (TA in art. فلن:) accord. to As, one says يَا فُلُ and يَا فُلَاهْ; he who says يَا فُلُ saying thus [when he pauses after it and] when he goes on, making the noun marfooa without tenween; whereas he who says يَافُلَاهْ says thus when he is silent after it, retaining the ه [which is termed the ه of pausation]. but when he goes on he rejects the ه and makes the noun to be mansoob, saying [for ex.] يَا فُلَا قُلْ [ O such a one, say ]. (T and TA in art. فلن.) [See also مُضَمَّنٌ (in art. ضمن), last sentence.]

فَلٌّ ذ A break, or notch, in the edge, (ISk, T, S, M, O, Msb, K,) of a sword, (ISk, T, S, O, Msb, K,) [or the like,] or of anything; (M;) and so ↓ فَلَّةٌ [i. e. a single break, or notch, in the edge, ] of a sword: (TA:) pl. of the former فُلُولٌ, (ISk, T, S, M, O, Msb, K,) of which an ex. occurs in a verse cited voce بَيْدَ: (O, TA:) it has been said that فُلُولٌ is an inf. n.; but it is more correctly said to be pl. of فَلٌّ. (M.) ― -b2- And A portion that has fallen off from a thing, like the filings of gold and of silver, and the sparks of fire: (M, K, TA:) pl. فُلُولٌ. (M, TA.) -A2- And A company (M, K, TA) of men; (TA;) as also ↓ فَلِيلٌ: (M, K, TA:) pl. of the former فُلُولٌ. (TA.) -A3- And it is [an epithet] applied to a number of men, (S, M, O, K, [in the CK in this case, erroneously, فُلٌّ,]) and to a single man, (S, O,) signifying Defeated; (S, M, O, K;) and ↓ فُلَّى also signifies thus, applied to a كَتِيبَة [i. e. a military force, or troop, &c.]; (AA, T, O, K;) like فُرَّى: (AA, T, O:) one says رَجُلٌ فَلٌّ and قَوْمٌ فَلٌّ, and sometimes [when speaking of a number of men] they said فُلُولٌ and فِلَالٌ; (S, O;) accord. to the copies of the K, the pl. is فُلُولٌ and أَفْلَالٌ; but correctly the latter is فُلَّالٌ, like رُمَّانٌ, as in the M; (TA;) [i. e.] the pl. is فُلُولٌ and فُلَّالٌ: and [of فَلٌّ used in a pl. sense it is said that] it must be either a quasi-pl. n. or [originally] an inf. n.: if the former, the sing. should by rule be فَالٌّ, the case being like شَارِبٌ and شَرْبٌ, [of which the former is a sing, and the latter is a quasi-pl. n.,] and فَالٌّ is of the measure فَاعِلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ: and فلول is not necessarily pl. of فَلٌّ, but is rather pl. of فَالٌّ; for the pl. of the quasi-pl. n. is extr., like the pl. of the pl.: (M, TA: *) and as to فَلَّالٌ, it is necessarily pl. of فَالٌّ, for فَعْلٌ is not of the forms that have فُعَّالٌ as the measure of a pl.: (M, TA:) if it [i. e. فَلٌّ] be [originally] an inf. n., [this accounts for its being applied alike to a number of men and to a single man, which is not mentioned in the M, or] it is like نَسْجٌ in the sense of مَنْسُوجٌ in the phrase نَسْجُ اليَمَنِ. (M.) -A4- Also Land affected with drought or barrenness; as also ↓ فِلٌّ: or [i. e. the former accord. to the K, but app. each accord. to the text of the M as given in the TT,] such as is rained upon but does not produce plants or herbage: (AO, M, K:) or such as the rain has failed to fall upon during several years: or such as is not rained upon between two lands that have been rained upon: (M, K:) or, accord. to AO, this is termed خَطِيطَةٌ; فلّ having the second of the meanings expl. in this sentence: (M:) or upon which rain has not fallen: (TA:) [in this sense, in the TT, as from the T, written فِل [for ↓ فِلّ]: and so in the same, as from the T and M, in the sense here following:] or in which is nothing; (T, M, * K; *) so says IAar; whence, he adds, الفَلَاةُ; but [Az says] I do not think that it is taken thence: (T:) the pl. is like the sing., [or rather the word used as a sing. is likewise used as a pl.,] and أَفْلَالٌ, (M, K,) this pl. form being sometimes used: (M:) or the pl. of ↓ الفِلُّ is أَفْلَالٌ; and one says also أَرْضٌ أَفْلَالٌ. (T.) -A5- And A sort of cloth made of the hard fibres of flax. (TA.)

فَلٌّ ذ a term for يَاسَمِين مُضَاعَذ [ Double jasmine ], which is [ rendered so ] either بِالتَّرْكِيب [an expression meaning, as used in the present day, by grafting ], or by slitting the stem thereof and inserting into it the [ additional ] jasmine [app. meaning by budding ]: it is a flower of pure whiteness; and the rubbing oneself with its leaves perfumes the body: (TA:) [this name, or, more commonly, ↓ فِلّ, is now applied to the Arabian jasmine ( jasminum sambac ), or, as Forskål says (Flora Aegypt. Arab. p. cii.), nyctanthes sambac, mentioned by him among the plants cultivated in El-Yemen.] ― -b2- [Freytag, misled by the CK, has assigned to this word a meaning belonging to فَلٌّ.]
