Full Definition

غَطْيَلَ
Q. Q. 1 with the ط before the ى, He was, or became, abundant in his property, or cattle, and his dependents, or relations and household, or servants, and his weal.

def.2 And غَيْطَلَ, thus correctly in the following senses, accord. to the K غَطْيَلَ, but this is a mistake, He made his traffic to be in beasts of the bovine kind, bulls or cows, which are termed غَيْطَلٌ.
2 And غَيْطَلَ القَوْمُ فِى الحَدِيثِ The people, or party, pushed on, pressed on, or were copious or profuse, in discourse; or entered into it; and their voices became high: on the authority of El-Hejeree. [Accord. to the K غَطْيَلَ, which is said in the TA to be a mistake.]
