Full Definition

وَلَجَI , Present.T يَلِجُ, Verbal.Noun وُلُوجٌ and لِجَةٌ; and ; and تولّج ; He, or it, entered. You say وَلَجَ البَيْتَ, and , and تولّجهُ , He entered the house. And وَلَجَ الشَّىْءُ فِى غَيرِهِ The thing entered into another thing. As is said in the S and L, Sb says that وَلَجَ has for its Verbal.Noun وُلُوجٌ, which is of one of the measures of the inf. ns. of intrans. verbs, because the meaning [of وَلَجْتُ البَيْتَ] is وَلَجْتُ فِيهِ: and it is said in the M, that Sb holds the intermediate particle to be dropped: but Mohammad Ibn-Yezeed holds the verb to be trans. without an intermediate particle. MF observes, that Sb's words appear to make ولج a trans. verb, which no one asserts it to be: that if he mean that it has as its complement a noun in the acc. case as an adverbial noun of place, it is like دَخَلْتُ and other intrans. verbs: but if he mean that it governs a simple objective complement, like ضَرَبْتُ زَيْدًا, his opinion is not correct.
