[of pauc.] of طَلًا is أَطْلَآءٌ and [of mult.] طِلَآءٌ and طُلِيٌّ and طِلِىٌّ and طُلْيَانٌ and طِلْيَانٌ. [See also طَلِىٌّ.]
2 [And, accord. to Freytag (in art. طلى), An infant until a month old or more: but for this he has named no authority.]

def.3 Also Daubed, or smeared, ( مَطْلِىٌّ ,) with tar. [See also طَلْيَآءُ.]

def.4 And Desire; syn. هَوًى. So in the saying, قَضَى طَلَاهُ مِنْ حَاجَتِهِ [He accomplished his desire of that which he wanted]. [Or, as Freytag says, on the authority of the Deewán of the Hudhalees, accord. to some it signifies Pleasure : and accord. to others, thirst. But see طِلًا.]
