دَالَ

i. q. دَارَ. (TA.) You say, دالتِ الأَيَّامُ, (S, Msb, K,) aorist تَدُولُ, (Msb,) verbal noun دَوْلٌ, (KL,) meaning دَارَت; (S, Msb, K;) [i. e.] The days came round [in their turns]. (KL.)

دَوْلٌ also signifies The changing of time, or fortune, from one state, or condition, to another; (K;) and so دَوْلَةٌ. (TA.) [Hence,] one says, دالت لَهُ الدَّوْلَةُ [The turn of fortune was, or became, in his favour; or] good fortune came to him: and دالت عَلَيْهِ الدَّوْلَةُ [The turn of fortune was, or became, against him; or] good fortune departed from him. (MA.)

[Golius assigns to دال, with دَوْلَةٌ for its verbal noun, as on the authority of the S and KL, two significations apparently from two meanings of دَوْلَةٌ, one of which he seems to have misunderstood, and to neither of which do I find any corresponding verb: they are “ Obivit alter alterum in bello: ” and “ superior evasit. ” There are many inf. ns. that have no corresponding verbs.]

دال, aorist يَدُوِلُ, (T, K,) verbal noun دَوْلٌ and دَالَةٌ, (K,) or دَوْلَةٌ, (T,) He became notorious [either in a bad or in a good sense]; explained by صَارَ شُهْرَةً, (IAar, T, K,) i. e. مَشْهُورًا. (TK.)

دال الثَّوْبُ, aorist يَدُولُ, The garment, or piece of cloth, was, or became, old, and worn out. (AZ, S.) [Hence,] جَعَلَ وُدُّهُ يَدُولُ (tropical:) His love, or affection, was beginning to become, or at the point of becoming, worn out. (AZ, S, TA.)
