[a pl., of which the sing. is app. شُعْلُولٌ, q. v.; Things, and persons, scattered, or dispersed]. Aboo-Wejzeh says,
[Until, or until when, those of them that outstripped approached him, and there were scattered portions of foam upon his two sides]. And one says, ذَهَبُوا شَعَالِيلَ, like شَعَارِيرَ, i. e., [They went away] in a state of dispersion; [or] they dispersed themselves, or became dispersed.حَتَّى إِذَا مَا دَنَتْ مِنْهُ سَوَابِقُهَا وَلِلُّغَامِ بِعِطْفَيْهِ شَعَالِيلُ
