حَلِى

A cry by which a she-camel is chidden; as also حَلِ and حَلْ; like as a he-camel is by the cry حَوْبِ and حَوْبُ &c.: (TA voce حَوْبِ:) or by which female camels are chidden; as also حَلْ, and, when in connexion with a following word, حَلٍ. (TA voce حَلْ, in article حل.) One says, in chiding the she-camel, حَلِى لَا حَلِيتِ [On! mayest thou not gain any great benefit: like as one says, in chiding the he-camel, حَبْ لَا مَشِيتَ, &c.]. (TA in the present article)
