ايءِلٌ

1.
[act. particle n. of 1 in all its senses: and thus, particularly,] Thickening, or thick; (T, S, M, TA;) applied to the urine of camels that have been contented with green pasture instead of water, at the end of their being in that state; (T;) or to milk, (S, M, TA,) and to oil, and other things, such as tar, and honey, and wine, or beverage: (TA:) plural أُيَّلٌ: (S, M:) which last word [in one copy of the M written إِيلٌ, but this I think a mistranscription,] signifies also the remains of thickening, or thick, milk; or, as some say, the [seminal] water in the womb: (M:) or this same word (أُيَّلٌ) has the last of these significations; and also, [as a singular epithet,] the first of the meanings explained in this paragraph; as also ايءِلٌ, applied to milk; (K;) or to milk thickening, or thick, and mixed; not excessively thick, but in a somewhat good degree, and changed in its flavour: (AHát, TA:) or it [apparently أُيَّلٌ, as in the TK,] signifies the vessel, or receptacle, thereof; (K;) [a meaning assigned in the M to إِيَالٌ;] in which milk thickens: (TA:) Sh says that إِيَّلٌ signifies the milk of the أَيَايءِل [plural of إِيَّلٌ]; and so says AA: but AHeyth says that this is absurd; and that the right word is أُيَّلٌ, having the signification first explained in this paragraph, i. e. thickening, or thick, milk: En-Nadr says that إِيَّلٌ signifies thick urine of she-goats of the mountain; which, when drunk by a woman, excites her venereal faculty: (T:) or this last word is used to signify milk of an إِيَّل, which is said to strengthen in the venereal faculty, and to fatten, as Ibn-Habeeb asserts; and أُيَّلٌ, which he affirms to be wrong, is a dialect var. thereof; and it may also be a quasi-plural n. thereof: (M:) as a plural [of ايءِلٌ], applied to milk, اُيَّلٌ is extr. in two respects; as a plural, of this form, of an epithet not applied to an animal; and as being regularly أُوَّلٌ. (IJ, M.)
2.
إِنَّهُ لَايءِلُ مَالٍ and مَالٍ أَيِّلُ Verily he is a good manager, or tender, of cattle, or camels, or the like. (M, TA.)
