Full Definition

اَكَّلَII [أكّلهُ, Verbal.Noun تَأْكِيلٌ, He made him to eat a thing.]
2 أَكَّلَ مَالِى وَ شرَّبَهُ, Verbal.Noun as above, [lit. He made people to eat my property, and made them to drink it,] means he fed men, or the people, with my property, or cattle.
3 ظَلَّ مَالِى يُؤَكَّلُ وَ يُشَرَّبُ, or يُؤَكِّلُ ويُشَرِّبُ, [of which the former is app. the right reading, as the lit. meaning seems to be My cattle passed the day made to eat and made to drink,] i. e., pasturing as they pleased.
4 أكّلهُ الشَّىْءَ, Verbal.Noun as above, He charged against him, or accused him of doing, the thing; as also آكلهُ , Verbal.Noun إِيكَالٌ. In [some of] the copies of the K, for اِدَّعَاهُ, we here find, erroneously, دَعَاهُ. You say, أَكَّلْتَنِى مَا لَمْ آكُلْ [lit. Thou hast made me to eat what I have not eaten,] meaning thou hast charged against me, or accused me of doing, what I have not done; as also . So too, أَشْرَبْتَنِى مَا لَمْ أَشْرَبٌ. (S and K in art. شرب.)
