تَفَلَّتَV
see 4, in three places.
2 تفلّت عَلَيْنَا, or عَلَيْهِ, He seized, or came suddenly, upon us, or upon him. Hence, in a trad. of Umm-Háni, فَتَفَلَّتَ عَلَيْهِمَا لِيَقْتُلَهُمَا [And he seized upon them both to slay them].
3 And تفلّت إِلَيْهِ He was desirous of it, or he longed for it; as also ; namely, a thing. Hence the saying, أَرَاهُ يَتَفَلَّتُ إِلَى صُحْبَتِكَ [I see him to be desirous of thy companionship]. And one says, لَا أَرَىلَكَ أَنْ تَتَفَلَّتَ إِلَى هّذَا وَلَا أَنْ تَتَفلَّتَ عَنْهُ [I am not of opinion that thou shouldst be desirous of this, nor that thou shouldst be averse from it].
