Q. Q. 4 mentioned in the K in a separate art., its author, and some others, holding the م to be radical, but most of the leading authorities on inflection hold it, with J [and Sgh and Fei], to be augmentative; and اِمْضَحَلَّ, of the dial. of the Kilá- bees, mentioned by AZ, formed by transposition of the م; and اِمْضَحَنَّ, formed by substitution, mentioned by Yaakoob; It went away; and came to nought.
2 And said of clouds (سَحَاب), They became removed, or cleared off.
3 And i. q. اِنْحَلَّ [It became untied, or undone, &c.].
