حِيَالٌ

[in the CK, erroneously, حَيال] The front of a thing, as meaning the part, place, or location, that is over against, opposite, facing, fronting, or in front; synonym قُبَالَةٌ. (K, and Mgh in article حيل.) You say, قُمْتُ حِيَالَهُ I stood in front of him; in the part, place, or location, that was over against him, opposite to him, &c.; synonym قُبَالَتَهُ. (Msb in article حيل.) And قَعَدَ حِيَالَةٌ and بِحِيَالِهِ He sat in front of him, over against him, opposite to him, facing or fronting him; synonym بِإِزَايءِهِ. (S, K.) And هٰذَا حِيَالَ كَلِمَتِكَ This is opposite to thy saying; synonym مُقَابَلَةَ; in the accusative case, as an adv. n. of place: thus related by IAar from the Arabs: but one may also say حِيَالُ كَلِمَتِكَ [the opposite of thy saying], making the phrase to consist of an inchoative and an enunciative: so says ISd. (TA.) It is originally with و [in the place of the ى]. (S, O.)

عَلَى حِيَالِهِ [By himself or itself; independently]. You say, أَعْطِ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى حِيَالَهُ Give thou to every one of them by himself; synonym على حِدَتِهِ; (S in article وحد;) or بِانْفِرَادِهِ. (Mgh in article حيل.) And فَعَلْتُ كُلَّ شَىْءٍ عَلَى حِيَالِهِ I did everything by itself; synonym بِانْفِرَادِهِ. (Msb in article حيل.)

-A2- Also A string that is tied from the camel's بِطَان [or belly-girth] to his حَقَب [or hind girth], to prevent the حَقَب from going against the sheath of his penis: (K:) so, too, in the M: but in the O, as on the authority of AA, ↓ حُوَلٌ, like صُرَدٌ, signifies the string that is between the حَقَب and the بِطَان. (TA.)
