عُجَالَةٌ

(S, O, K) and ↓ عِجَالَةٌ (O, K) and ↓ عُجْلٌ and ↓ عُجْلَةٌ (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K) A thing that one takes hastily, or quickly: (S, O, K:) and the first, [or all,] the rider's provision of food whereof the eating does not fatigue, as dates, and meal of parched barley; (Meyd, TA;) because he desires its readiness, for the journeying hurries him so as to prevent his having food prepared with pains: (TA:) and hasty provision for a guest. (Har p. 84.) One says, التَّمْرُ عُجَالَةُ الرَّاكِبِ [Dates are the hastily-taken food of the rider]: (S, O:) and so, الثَّيِّبُ [q. v.]; (S, O;) which is a prov., (S,) said by A'Obeyd to be used in urging one to be content with a little of what is wanted when much thereof is unattainable. (Meyd.)

Also, the same four words, The milk which the مُعَجِّل [q. v.] draws; and so ↓ إِعْجَالَةٌ: (K:) or this last signifies the milk (S, O, TA) of his camels (TA) which the pastor hastens to bring (S, O, TA) to his family before the [fresh] milking, (S, O,) or when his camels return from the water; and its plural is إِعْجَالَاتٌ: (TA:) and عُجَالَةٌ signifies the milk which the pastor carries from the place of pasture to the owners of the sheep or goats before the sheep or goats return; this being done only when there is abundance of milk. (IAth, O, TA.)
