غَيْلٌ signify the same; (Mgh, O, Msb); i. e. The compressing one's wife while she is suckling: (Mgh, Msb:) thus explained by AO as stated by A'Obeyd: (Mgh:) and thus the former signifies according to El-'Alkamee; and so says Málik: or, according to El-Munáwee, it signifies the compressing one's wife while she is suckling or pregnant: or, according to ISk, a woman's suckling while pregnant: (from a marginal note in a copy of the Jámi' es-Sagheer of Es-Suyootee, in explanation of a tradition mentioned in what here follows, commencing with the words لَقَدْ هَمَمْتُ:) and
غَيْلٌ has this last signification (Mgh, TA) according to Ks: (Mgh:) غِيلَةٌ is the subst. from اِسْتَغْيَلَتْ: (K:) and IAth says that
غَيْلَةٌ is a dialect var. thereof; or, as some say, this denotes a single act [of what is termed
غِيلَة]; or the pronunciation with fet-h is not allowable unless with the elision of the ة. (TA.) One says, أَضَرَّتِ الغِيلَةُ بِوَلَدِ فُلَانٍ, meaning His mother's being compressed while she was suckling him [injured the child of such a one], and likewise his mother's being pregnant while she was suckling him. (S, O.) [But] in a tradition is related the saying, (of the Prophet, O) “ Verily I had intended to forbid الغِيلَة (S, Mgh, * O, Msb, K) until I remembered that the Persians and the Greeks practise it and it does not injure their children. ” (Mgh, O, Msb.) [See also 4 in article فسد.]
