Full Definition

علّاهُII : see 4.
2 [Hence,] one says, عَلَّيْتُ بِهِ عَلَى البَعِيرِ [I raised it, and put it, upon the camel]: [and so ; as in a verse cited voce رَائِحٌ, in art. روح; in which, and in the present art., it is cited in the S and TA: and بِهِ; as in a verse cited voce إِلَى in the sense of مِنْ, in art. الو:] and عَلَىَّ means اِحْمِلْ [i. e. Put thou upon me such a thing to be carried by me; or load thou me].
3 And عَلَّيْتُ الحَبْلَ, Verbal.Noun تَعْلِيَةٌ, I raised the cord to its proper place in respect of the channel of the sheave, and in respect of the [main] well-rope.
4 And علّى الدَّلْوَ, Verbal.Noun as above, He raised the bucket from a stone projecting in the lower part of the casing of a well [and impeding its ascent]; he having descended the well for that purpose: [or simply he raised the filled bucket; for] some say that المُعَلِّى signifies he who raises the filled bucket; i. e., who draws water thereby.
5 And علّى المَتَاعَ عَنِ الدَّابَّةِ He put down the goods, or furniture and utensils, from the beast: [app. because he who does so lifts them off the beast:] أَعْلَاهُ in this sense is disapproved.
6 See also 1, former half.
7 And see Q. Q. 1.
