(Jel.) You say, دَاوَلْتُ الشَّىْءَ بَيْنَهُمْ ↓ فَتَدَاوَلُوهُ [I dispensed the thing among them by turns, and they had, or received, or took, it by turns]. (Bd on the passage of the Qur'an quoted above.) مُدَاوَلَةٌ also signifies The giving a turn of fortune, or good fortune. (KL. [See what next follows.])
