جَامِلٌ [act. part. n. of جَمَلَ.

def.2 And also part. n. of جَمُلَ]. The Arabs say, اُجْمُلْ إِنْ كُنْتَ جَامِلًا [Become beautiful, &c., if thou be becoming beautiful, &c.]: but when they mean the quality [alone], they say, إِنَّهُ لَجَمِيلٌ [Verily he is beautiful, &c.].

def.3 A man possessing a جَمَل [or he-camel]. (TA. [See also جَمَّالٌ.])
2 A herd, or distinct number, of camels, males and females, with their pastors and their owners: (S, K, TA: [also said in the K to be a pl. of جَمَلٌ: in the CK, الجامِعُ is erroneously put for الجَامِلُ:]) or a word formed to denote a pl., meaning camels, males and females; derived from جَمَلٌ; like بَاقِرٌ from بَقَرٌ, and كَالِبٌ [from كَلْبٌ].
