غَزَالٌ
1.
A young gazelle,
وَلَدُ ظَبْيَةٍ: (Msb:) or a شَادِن [or young gazelle], (T, S, O, Msb, K, TA,) or, as some say, the female, (TA, [but see what follows,]) when it becomes active, or in motion, (T, S, O, Msb, K, TA.) and walks; (T, Msb, K, TA;) to which the girl, or young woman, is likened in [the commencing of an ode by what is termed] التَّشْبِيب, wherefore the epithet and the verb [therein] are made mase.; (TA;) after the becoming a
ثَنِىّ [q. v.]: (T, Msb:) or in the stage after that in which he is termed
طَلًا [q. v.]: (AHát, Msb, TA:) or from the time of his birth until he attains to the most vehement running; (K, TA;) which is when he puts his legs together, [apparently meaning his fore legs together and so his hind legs,] and puts them down together and raises them together: (TA:) or i. q.
ظَبْىٌ [i. e. a gazelle, of any age]: (M in article ظبى: for الظَّبْىُ is there explained as meaning الغَزَالُ: [but this seems to be a loose rendering:]) the female is called
غَزَالَةٌ; (Msb, MF, TA;) though it seems from what is said in the K [&c.] that الغَزَالُ is applied peculiarly to the male, and that the female is called only ظَبْيَةٌ, as several of the lexicologists have decisively asserted: (MF, TA:) the plural [of pane.] is غِزْلَةٌ and [of mult.] غِزْلانٌ. (S, O, Msb, K.)

دَمُ الغَزَالِ
A certain plant, resembling the
طَرْخُون [or tarragon], (O, K,) which is eaten, (O,) burning, or biting, to the tongue, (O, K,) green, and having a red root, like the roots of the
أَرْطَاة [n. un. of أَرْطًى, q. v.], (O,) with the juice of which girls, or young women, make red streaks like bracelets upon their arms: (O, K:) thus AHn was informed by some one or more of the Benoo-Asad: (O:) and Aboo-Nasr says, it is of the [kind called] ذُكُور. [See also دَمُ الغَزَالِ and دَمُ الغِزْلَانِ and دُمْيَةُ الغِزْلَانِ voce دمٌ in article دمو or دمى; and see likewise عَنْدَمٌ.]
