Full Definition

أَخَلَّIV and أُخِلَّ بِهِ: see 1, near the beginning.
2 أخَلَّ بِهِ He fell, or stopped, short in it; fell short of accomplishing it; fell short of doing what was requisite, or due, or what he ought to have done, in it, or with respect to it; or flagged, or was remiss, in it; namely, a thing; syn. قَصَّرَ فِيهِ; as, for instance, in belief, and in confession thereof, and in works: he left it, neglected it, omitted it; or left it undone: or i. q. أَجْحَفَ بِهِ [app. as meaning he was near to falling short of accomplishing it, or of doing what was requisite in it; or was near to being remiss in it]; namely, a thing.
3 He failed of fulfilling his compact with him, or his promise to him.
4 He became absent, or he absented himself, from it; he left, abandoned, or quitted, it; namely, a place &c. You say, اخلّ بِمَرْكَزِهِ He left, abandoned, or quitted, his station which the commander had appointed him. And اخلّ بِهِمْ He became absent, or he absented himself, from them.
5 اخلّ الوَالِى بِالثُّغُورِ The prefect made the frontiers to be kept by a small body of troops.

def.2 أَخَلَّ إِلَيْهِ: see 8.

def.3 اخلّهُ He made him, or caused him, to want, or be in need. You say, مَا أَخَلَّكَ إِلَى هٰذَا What has made thee, or caused thee, to want, or be in need of, this? And مَا أَخَلَّكَ ٱللّٰهُ إِلَيْهِ What has God made thee, or caused thee, to want, or be in need of?

def.4 اخلّ الأِبِلَ: see 1, near the end of the paragraph.

def.5 اخلّوا, Verbal.Noun إِخْلَالٌ, Their camels pastured upon what is termed خُلَّة.
2 Hence, اخلّ said of a man signifies أَخَذَ مِنْ قُبُلٍ [i. e. He took frontways]: opposed to أَحْمَضَ [and حَمَّضَ, q. v.], meaning أَخَذَ مِنْ دُبُرٍ.

def.6 اخلّت النَّخْلَةُ The palmtree produced bad fruit.
2 And The palm-tree produced dates such as are termed خَلَال: [like أَبْلَحَت from بَلَحٌ:] thus it bears two contr. significations.
