بَلٌّ

[ Moist, or containing moisture: or rather moistened; being, apparently, a verbal noun used in the sense of a pass. particle n. ; like خَلْقٌ in the sense of مَخْلُوقٌ. Hence,] رِيحٌ بَلَّةٌ and ↓بَلِيلٌ and ↓بَلِيلَةٌ A wind in which is moisture: (S:) or the last, a wind mixed with feeble rain: (T:) and the second, a wind cold with moisture; (M, K;) or the same, a wind cold with rain; (A, TA;) the north wind, as though it sprinkled water by reason of its coldness: (TA:) and ↓ بَلَلٌ also signifies a cold north wind: (Ibn- 'Abbád, TA:) بَلِيلٌ is used alike as singular and plural : (K:) it has no plural (M.)

-A2- بَلٌّ بِشَىْءٍ A man (M) devoted, or attached, to a thing, and keeping to it constantly. (M, K. [In the CK and in my MS. copy of the K, اللَّهْجُ is erroneously put for اللَّهِجُ.])

And بَلٌّ, alone, Much given to the deferring of payment to his creditors, by repeated promises; (T;) withholding, by swearing, what he possesses of things that are the rightful property of others. (IAar, T, K.) See also أَبَلٌّ, in two places.
