دَالَI
i. q.
دَارَ. You say, دالتِ الأَيَّامُ, Present.T تَدُولُ, Verbal.Noun دَوْلٌ, meaning دَارَت; [i. e.] The days came round [in their turns].
2 دَوْلٌ also signifies The changing of time, or fortune, from one state, or condition, to another; and so دَوْلَةٌ. [Hence,] one says, دالت لَهُ الدَّوْلَةُ [The turn of fortune was, or became, in his favour; or] good fortune came to him: and دالت عَلَيْهِ الدَّوْلَةُ [The turn of fortune was, or became, against him; or] good fortune departed from him.
3 [Golius assigns to دال, with دَوْلَةٌ for its Verbal.Noun, as on the authority of the S and KL, two significations app. from two meanings of دَوْلَةٌ, one of which he seems to have misunderstood, and to neither of which do I find any corresponding verb: they are “ Obivit alter alterum in bello: ” and “ superior evasit. ” There are many inf. ns. that have no corresponding verbs.]
4 دال, Present.T يَدُوِلُ, Verbal.Noun دَوْلٌ and دَالَةٌ, or دَوْلَةٌ, He became notorious [either in a bad or in a good sense]; expl. by صَارَ شُهْرَةً, i. e. مَشْهُورًا.
5 دال الثَّوْبُ, Present.T يَدُولُ, The garment, or piece of cloth, was, or became, old, and worn out. [Hence,] جَعَلَ وُدُّهُ يَدُولُ
