Full Definition

مُنْقَلَبٌ An Verbal.Noun of 7 [q. v.].
2 And also a n. of place from the same [for which Freytag seems to have found in a copy of the S مُقَلَّبٌ, a mistranscription], like مُنْصَرَفٌ. [As a n. of place it signifies A place in which a thing, or person, is, or becomes, altered, or changed, from its, or his, mode, or manner, of being: and hence, a place in which a thing becomes inverted, or turned upside-down, &c.
3 Hence, also, The final place to which one is translated, or removed, by death; and so مُتَقَلَّبٌ .] One says, كُلُّ أَحَد يَصِيرُ إِلَى مُنْقَلَبِهِ and [Every one reaches, or will reach, his final place to which he is to be translated, or removed].
4 [And A place to which one returns from a journey &c.]
