Full Definition

أَعْلَلْتُIV I brought, or sent, back the camels from the water after they had satisfied their thirst, or before they had satisfied their thirst: or, [if the latter is meant,] accord. to some of the etymologists, it is with غ; (S, O, K; [see 4 in art. غل;]) as though it were from the meaning of “ thirsting; ” but the former is what has been heard; and it means I gave the camels to drink the second draught, or watered them the second time, and then brought them, or sent them, back from the water, having their thirst satisfied; and thus, too, means الإِبِلَ; the contr. of أَغْلَلْنُهَا. See also 1, first sentence.
2 And اعلّ القَوْمُ The people, or party, were, or became, persons whose camels had drunk the second time.
