Full Definition
رِحَالَةٌ
A
سَرْج [or horse's saddle]: or a
سَرْج
of skins, in which is no wood; used for vehement running [of the horse]: ISd says also that it is one of the vehicles [or saddles] of women, like the
رَحْل: but Az says that it is one of the vehicles [or saddles] of men, exclusively of women, i. e. not of women; as is also the رَحْل: and some say that it is larger than the
سَرْج, covered with skins, and is for horses, and for excellent, or strong and light and swift, camels: pl. رَحَائِلُ. When a man is hasty in doing evil to his companion, one says to him, اِسْتَقْدَمَتْ رِحَالَتُكَ [lit. Thy saddle has got before thee, or shifted forwards]: it is a prov., meaning that has preceded than which another was more fit to do so. (S in art. قدم.) In the following saying of Imra-el-Keys, addressing his wife,
def.2 Also A ewe. [Hence,] رِحَالَهْ رِحَالَهْ is A call to the ewe, on the occasion of milking.
2 And الرِّحَالَةُ is the name of A certain horse of 'Ámir Ibn-Et-Tufeyl; erroneously said by AO to be الحمالة.
[And either thou wilt see me upon the saddle of Jábir, upon a bier like the vehicle called قَرّ, my grave-clothes fluttering], he means, by the word رحالة, [merely] the حَرَج; there being in this case no رحالة in reality: it is like the saying, جَآءَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى نَاقَةِ الحَذَّآءِ, meaning [“ Such a one came upon] the sandal [or sandals]: ” Jábir is the name of a certain carpenter.فَإِمَّا تَرَيْنِى فِى رِحَالَةِ جَابِرٍ عَلَى حَرَجٍ كَٱلْقَرِّتَخْفِقُ أَكْفَانِى
def.2 Also A ewe. [Hence,] رِحَالَهْ رِحَالَهْ is A call to the ewe, on the occasion of milking.
