اعتلّ : as, for instance, with a portion of food, [so that the craving of his stomach became allayed,] before the [morning-meal called] غَدَآء; (M voce سُلْفَةٌ, and K voce لُمْجَةٌ, &c.;) and as a beast does with the cud: he occupied himself so as to divert himself, and fed [or sustained] himself, with it: and he whiled away his time with it. And تعلّل بٱلْمَرْأَةِ
He diverted himself with the woman.
2 And تعلّل signifies also He occupied himself vainly. (S and TA in art. جدب: see a verse cited voce جَادِبٌ.)
3 And He made an excuse.
4 And تَعَلَّلَتْ مِنْ نِفَاسِهَا, and , as also تَعَالَتْ, without teshdeed, (TA, [see 5 in art. علو,]) She passed forth from her state of impurity consequent upon childbirth, and became lawful to her husband.
