زُغْلُولٌ

Root: زغل

Full Definition

زُغْلُولٌ Light, or active, in spirit and in body, and quick; an epithet applied to a man: mentioned by Kr with ع and with غ: in the “ Musannaf ” of A'Obeyd, with غ only. (TA in art. زعل.)
2 Also A young infant: pl. زَغَالِيلُ. One says صِبْيَةٌ زَغَالِيلُ Little children. And كَيْفَ زُغْلُولُكَ How is thy little one?
3 And An orphan.
4 And The young one of the pigeon.
5 [Freytag explains it as signifying also “ Pallus ovis, cameli lactens; ” but whether this be intended to express a single meaning is not clear to me:
6 also, on the authority of Dmr, as signifying A man light in respect of dignity and manners: app. as being likened to a young child.]
