تكلّأ

; and ↓ كلّأ, verbal noun تَكْلِىْءٌ; He bought on credit. [This is the explanation given in the TK, and it appears to be correct. It is also there said, that تَكَلَّأْتُهُ signifies أَخَذْتُهُ نَسْيْيءَةً, I took it, or bought it, on credit: and كَلَّأْتُ فِى الطَّعَامِ, اخذته بالنّسييءةِ, I took, or bought, the food on credit, but the latter I render differently. (See 2, above.) In the K we read الكَالِيءُ والكُلْأَةُ بِالضَّمِّ النَّسِيْيءَةُ والعُرْبُونُ وتَكَلَّأْتُ وكَلَّأْتُ تَكْلِيْيءًا أخَذْتُهُ. IbrD thinks that the last word should be أخَّرْتُ “ I postponed, or delayed ”: but I rather think that it should be أَخَذْتُهَا, meaning أَخَذْتُ نَسِيْيءَةً I took, or bought, on credit. in the TA we read, AO says, تَكَلَّأْتُ كُلْأَةً وكَلَّأْتُ تَكْلِيْيءًا إِسْتَنْسَأْتُ نَسِيْيءَةَ أَىْ أَخَذْتُهُ وَالنَّسِيْيءَةُ التَّأْخِيرُ وَكَذٰلِكَ إِسْتَكْلَأْتُ كُلْأَةً: but the words اى اخذته seem to have been added by SM; for in the S we find, on the authority of AO, تَكَلَّأْتُ أَىْ اسْسَنْسَأْتُ نَسِيْيءَةً وَكَذٰلِكَ اسْتَكْلَأْتُ كُلْأَةً بِالضَّمِّ وَهُوَ مِنَ التَّأْخِيرِ: whence it seems, that تكلّأ, (or تكلّأ كُلْأَةً, and كُلْأَةً ↓ كلّأ, see above,) and كُلأَةً ↓ الستكلأ, signify He asked for a delay of the period of the payment of a debt.] See 8.
