آئِلٌ
[act. part. n. of 1 in all its senses: and thus, particularly,] Thickening, or thick; applied to the urine of camels that have been contented with green pasture instead of water, at the end of their being in that state; or to milk, and to oil, and other things, such as tar, and honey, and wine, or beverage: pl.
أُيَّلٌ : which last word [in one copy of the M written إِيلٌ, but this I think a mistranscription,] signifies also the remains of thickening, or thick, milk; or, as some say, the [seminal] water in the womb: or this same word (أُيَّلٌ) has the last of these significations; and also, [as a sing. epithet,] the first of the meanings explained in this paragraph; as also آئِلٌ, applied to milk; or to milk thickening, or thick, and mixed; not excessively thick, but in a somewhat good degree, and changed in its flavour: or it [app. أُيَّلٌ, as in the TK,] signifies the vessel, or receptacle, thereof; [a meaning assigned in the M to إِيَالٌ;] in which milk thickens: Sh says that

أُيَّلٌ , having the signification first explained in this paragraph, i. e. thickening, or thick, milk: En-Nadr says that
إِيَّلٌ signifies thick urine of she-goats of the mountain; which, when drunk by a woman, excites her venereal faculty: or this last word is used to signify milk of an
إِيَّل, which is said to strengthen in the venereal faculty, and to fatten, as Ibn-Habeeb asserts; and
أُيَّلٌ , which he affirms to be wrong, is a dial. var. thereof; and it may also be a quasi-pl. n. thereof: as a pl. [of آئِلٌ], applied to milk,
