And اجال سَيْفَهُ He brandished, flourished, or played with, his sword, turning it round about.

3 [اجال خَمْسَهُ فِى وِعَائِهِ, in the 7th Makámeh of Har, is explained in a MS. of that work as meaning ادخل, i. e., He inserted: but the proper meaning is, he turned about, or round about, his five fingers in his bag.]
