, aorist حَلِىَ , verbal noun حَلْىٌ, I assigned, or gave, to the woman حُلِىّ [or ornaments]; and so حَلَوْتُهَا. (S.) [See also 2.]

حَلِيَتْ, (S, Msb, K,) aorist حَلِىَ , (K,) verbal noun as above, (Msb, K,) She (a woman) acquired an ornament, or orna ments: (K:) or she wore on ornament, or orna ments; as also تحلّت: (Msb, K:) or the former signifies she had an ornament, or orna ments: (S, K:) and ↓ the latter, she adorned herself with an ornament, or ornaments: (S, Mgh, * TA:) or she made for herself an orna ment, or ornaments. (Msb, TA.)

لَمْ يَحْلَ مِنْهُ بِطَايءِلٍ He gained not, or derived not, from him, or it, any great profit, advantage, or benefit: the verb is not used in this sense except in nega tive phrases; (S, TA;) and is from الحَلْىُ and الحِلْيَةُ; because the mind reckons an ornament as an acquisition: not from حلو. (TA.) [But an affirmative phrase, with the verb حَلِىَ used in a similar sense, is mentioned in the K in article حلو: see 1 in that article See also 1 in article حلأ.]
