يَتَعَالُّVI means He milks the عُلَالَة [q. v.] of his she-camel. And الصَّبِىُّ يَتَعَالُّ بِثَدْىِ أُمِّهِ [perhaps correctly ثَدْىَ أُمِّهِ, and app. meaning The child exhausts the عُلَالَة, or remains of milk, in the breast of his mother].
2 And تَعَالَلْتُ النَّاقَةَ I elicited from the she-camel what power she had [remaining] of going on.
3 And تَعَالَلْتُ نَفْسِى signifies the same as تَلَوَّمْتُهَا [app. meaning I waited for myself to accomplish a want, or an object of desire, so that I might avoid blame: for تَلَوَّمَ as signifying اِنْتَظَرَ and تَنَظَّرَ is trans. as well as intrans.; and seems to be originally similar to تَأَثَّمَ and تَحَنَّثَ &c.].
