أَهِلَةٌ

i. q. مَالٌ [Property; or cattle]: so in the saying إِنَّهُمْ لَأَهْلُ أَهِلَةٍ (JK, K) [apparently meaning Verily they are sojourners, or settlers, possessed of property, or cattle]: ↓ أَهْلٌ here signifying حُلُولٌ [plural of حَالٌّ]. (JK, TA.) [But] Yoo says that ↓ هُمْ أَهْلُ أَهْلَةِ and أَهِلَةٍ means They are people of the distinguished sort. (TA.)
