شَعَالِيلُ

[a plural, of which the singular is apparently شُعْلُولٌ, q. v.; Things, and persons, scattered, or dispersed]. Aboo-Wejzeh says,

حَتَّى إِذَا مَا دَنَتْ مِنْهُ سَوَابِقُهَا

وَلِلُّغَامِ بِعِطْفَيْهِ شَعَالِيلُ

[Until, or until when, those of them that outstripped approached him, and there were scattered portions of foam upon his two sides]. (TA.) And one says, ذَهَبُوا شَعَالِيلَ, (S, O, K,) like شَعَارِيرَ, i. e., (S, O,) [They went away] in a state of dispersion; (K;) [or] they dispersed themselves, or became dispersed. (S, O.)
