Full Definition
اختلّVIII
[primarily signifies] It had interstices, breaks, chinks, or the like. (MA. [See خَلَلٌ.])
2 [And hence,] It was, or became, shaky, loose, lax, uncompact, disordered, unsound, corrupt, faulty, or defective, [and weak, or infirm, (see خَلَلٌ and مُخْتَلٌّ,)] said of a thing or an affair; it became altered for the worse. [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.
3 He was, or became, lean, meagre, or emaciated; and so اختلّ جِسْمُهُ. See 1, first sentence.
4 See also خَلَّ as syn. with أَخَلَّ or أُخِلَّ &c., near the beginning of the first paragraph. [Hence,] اختلّ إِلَيْهِ He wanted it, or needed it; namely, a thing; as also أَخَلَّ اليه: whence the saying of Ibn-Mes'ood, عَلَيْكُمْ بِالعِلْمِ فَإِنَّ أَحَدَكُمْ لَايَدْرِى مَتَى يُخْتَلُّ إِلَيْهِ [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. You say also, اُخْتُلَّ إِلَى فُلَانٍ Such a one was wanted, or needed.
def.2 See also 2, in two places.
def.3 اختلّهُ بِالرُّمْحِ, and بِالسَّهْمِ: and يَخْتَلُّ الثَّوْرُ الكَلْبَ بِقَرْنِهِ: see 1, in the former half of the paragraph.
2 اختلّ also signifies He served together.
3 اُخْتُلَّ said of herbage: see خُلَّةٌ, near the end of the paragraph.
def.4 اختلّ المَكَانُ The place had in it خُلَّة [q. v.].
2 And اختلّت الإِبِلُ The camels were confined in [pasturage such as is termed] خُلَّة.
