Parallel reading

وهي لغة العامة.

And it is the language of the common people.

وبنات الياء إذا جمعت بالتاء لا يحرك موضع العين منها بالضم؛ كذا في الصحاح.

And the daughters of 'ya' when pluralized with 'ta' do not move the position of the 'ayn' with a damma; thus it is in Al-Sihah.

كرهوا الجمع بالتاء فيحركون العين بالضمة فتجيء هذه الياء بعد ضمة فلما ثقل ذلك عليهم تركوه واجتزؤوا ببناء الأكثر، ومن خفف قال: كليات.

They disliked pluralizing with 'ta' and thus moved the 'ayn' with a damma, causing this 'ya' to come after a damma. When this became burdensome for them, they abandoned it and were satisfied with the majority's structure, and those who lightened it said: 'kulliyat'.

وهي من القوس: ما بين الأبهر والكبد

And it (the kidney) is from the bow: what is between the 'abhar' and the liver.

وهما كليتان؛ كما في الصحاح.

And they are two kidneys; as in Al-Sihah.

أو هي أسفل من الكبد؛ وقيل: هي كبدها؛ وقيل: معقد حمالتها؛ أو كليتها مقدار ثلاثة أشبار من مقبضها.

Or it is below the liver; and it was said: it is its liver; and it was said: the knot of its strap; or its kidney is the measure of three spans from its handle.

كليتا القوس مثبت معلق حمالتها؛ كل ذلك في المحكم.

The two kidneys of the bow are the fixed part holding its strap; all of that is in Al-Muhkam.

كليتاهما عن يمين الكبد وشمالها؛ وهو مجاز.

Their two kidneys are to the right and left of the liver; and this is metaphorical.

ومن مجاز المجاز: الكلية من السحاب: أسفله

And from the metaphor of the metaphor: the kidney of the cloud is its lower part.

يقال: انبعجت كلاه؛ وسحابة واهية الكلى؛ نقله الجوهري والأزهري والزمخشري

It is said: its kidney burst; and a cloud with weak lower parts; this was transmitted by Al-Jawhari, Al-Azhari, and Al-Zamakhshari.

يسيل الربا واهي الكلى عارض الذرى

The high ground flows, its clouds weak in their lower parts, the peaks are covered.

ومن المجاز: الكلية من المزادة والراوية: رقعة

And from metaphor: the kidney of the waterskin and the large waterskin is a patch.

جليدة مستديرة تخرز عليها مع الأديم تحت العروة.

A round piece of skin sewn onto it with the leather beneath the loop.

والكلية رقعة تكون عروة الإداوة والمزادة، وجمعها كلى

And the kidney is a patch that forms the loop of the small waterskin and the large waterskin, and its plural is 'kila'.

ما بال عينيك منها الدمع ينسكب كأنها من كلى مفرية سرب

What is it with your eyes that tears flow from them, as if they were from the worn-out patches of a herd?

وكليته، كرميته، كليا، كرضي

And his kidney, like 'ramaytuhu' (I threw it), 'kaliya', like 'radiya' (he was pleased).

وهو مكلي، واكتلى: أصبت كليته فآلمتها؛ اقتصر الجوهري على اكتلى.

And he is 'makli', and 'iktala': I injured his kidney and caused him pain; Al-Jawhari limited himself to 'iktala'.

كلي الرجل واكتلى: تألم لذلك؛ وأنشد للعجاج: لهن من شباته صئي إذا اكتلى واقتحم المكلي

'Kaliya al-rajul' and 'iktala': he felt pain for that; and he recited for Al-Ajjaj: They have from their youth a sound, when he felt pain and the one with the injured kidney charged forward.

ويروى: كلي. وأنشده الجوهري هكذا، أي بالرواية الأخيرة، وجاء به شاهدا لقوله كليته أصبت كليته

And it is narrated: 'kili'. And Al-Jawhari recited it thus, meaning with the last narration, and he brought it as evidence for his statement: 'kiliytahu' (his kidney), I hit his kidney.

يقوله إذا طعن الثور الكلب في كليته وسقط الكلب المكلي الذي أصيبت كليته.

He says it when the bull stabs the dog in its kidney and the dog, the 'makli' whose kidney was injured, falls.

فظهر من ذلك أن قول المصنف كرضي غير متجه وإنما هو كلى واكتلى من حد رمى، فعلى هذا يتعدى ولا يتعدى فتأمل.

It appears from this that the author's statement 'ka-radiya' is not appropriate, but rather it is 'kaliya' and 'iktala' from the root 'rama' (to throw), so according to this it is transitive and intransitive, so ponder.

غنم حمراء الكلى: أي مهازيل.

Sheep with red kidneys: meaning emaciated.

جاء فلان بغنمه حمر الكلى، أي مهازيل.

So-and-so came with his sheep with red kidneys, meaning emaciated.

يقول: كثرت ثوائجه من الجدب لا تجد ما ترعى؛ ومن الكلى مناتجه يعني سقطت من الهزال فصاحبها يبقر بطونها من خواصرها في مواضع كلاهها فيستخرج أولادها منها.

He means: his offerings are many due to drought, finding nothing to graze on; and from the kidneys are its results, meaning they fell from emaciation, so their owner cuts open their bellies from their sides in the places of their kidneys and extracts their young from them.

هما موضعان، أحدهما على طريق حاج البصرة بين أثرة وطخفة، والثاني بالحجاز واد بين الحرمين.

They are two places, one on the road of the pilgrims from Basra between Athrah and Tukhfah, and the second in the Hijaz, a valley between the two holy cities.

حتى إذا شربت عليه وبعجت وطفاء سارية كلي مزاد

يحتمل كونه جمع كلية على كلي كما جاء حلية وحلي في قول بعضهم لتقارب البناءين، ويحتمل كونه جمعه على اعتقاد حذف الهاء كبرد وبرود.

It is possible that it is a plural of 'kilya' as 'kili', similar to how 'hilya' becomes 'hili' in the saying of some due to the similarity of the structures, and it is possible that it is its plural based on the assumption of omitting the 'ha', like 'burd' and 'burud'.

وكلية، بالضم: موضع في ديار تميم، عن نصر.

And 'Kuliya', with damma: a place in the lands of Tamim, from Nasr.
