Full Definition

بلّعII , or فِى رَأْسِهِ, Verbal.Noun تَبْلِيعٌ, Hoariness began to appear upon him, or upon his head: or rose: or spread much. [See also بَلَّغَ.] Hassán says, قَدْ بَلَّعَتْ بِى ذُرْأَةٌ فَأَلْحَفَتْ [Hoariness, or grayness, or the like, had begun to appear, &c., upon me, and marred me]; making the verb trans. by بِ because it has the meaning of قَدْ آلَمَتْ [it had given pain, and this verb is thus made trans.]; or substituting بِى for فِىَّ on account of the measure, which would not be right if he said فِىَّ. You say also, تبلّع فِيهِ الشَّيْبُ Hoariness appeared upon him.
