عِلَالٌ : Lh cites this verse, of an Arab of the desert,
[The she-goat knows that I will not preserve her from the milking in the morning and the evening and the middle of the day nor from the cookingpot of my guests]: or, accord. to Az, عِلَالٌ signifies the milking after milking, before the udder requires it by the abundance of the milk.
