يَعْلُولٌ
1.
A pool of water left by a torrent, white, and flowing in a regular, or continuous, course, one portion following another: (As, O, K, TA:) or, according to Suh, in the R, [simply] a pool of water left by a torrent; so called because it waters the ground a second time (يَعُلُّ الأَرْضَ بِمَايءِهِ [after its having been watered by the rain]): plural يَعَالِيلُ. (TA.)
2.
And A dye (صِبْغ) that is imbided (عُلَّ) one time after another: (O, K:) or, according to 'Abd-El-Lateef El-Baghdádee, a garment, or piece of cloth, dyed, and dyed again. (TA.)
3.
Accord. to AA, [apparently as applied to camels,] يَعَالِيلُ signifies That have drunk one time after another; and has no singular: but it is said on other authority to signify that go away at random to pasture (اَلَّتِى تَهْمِى) one time after another; and to have for its singular يَعْلُولٌ: and some say that it signifies such as are excessive in respect of whiteness. (TA.)
4.
Also, the singular, Rain after rain: (AO, O, K:) plural as above. (TA.)
5.
And the plural, (S, M, O, TA,) [according to the context in the K the singular, which is clearly wrong,] Bubbles (حَبَاب, M, K, TA, [in the CK حُباب,] and نُفَّاخَات, S, O, K, [both, I think, evidently meaning thus,]) upon water; (S, M, O, K;) said to be from the falling of rain; and to be used in a verse of Kaab Ibn-Zuheyr for ذَاتُ
يَعَالِيلَ as meaning having bubbles: (TA:) singular as above. (O.)
6.
And Clouds disposed one above another; (S, O;) singular as above: (S:) or [simply] clouds; so in the R; to which ISd adds containing rain: (TA:) or white clouds; (K, TA; a meaning assigned in the K to the singular;) but this is said by Niftaweyh in explanation of the phrase بِيضٌ يَعَالِيلُ in a verse of Kaab Ibn-Zuheyr to which reference has been made above: (TA:) or [the singular signifies] a white portion of clouds. (M, K.)
7.
The plural is also said to signify Lofty mountains; and Suh adds, from the upper parts of which water descends. (TA.)
9.
And A camel such as is termed
أَفِيل [q. v.]. (O.)
