(TA.) Az says, I have heard some of them say رَجَّالٌ as meaning رَاجِلٌ; and its plural is رَجَاجِيلُ. (TA.) And رَاجِلَةٌ and رَجِلَةٌ are applied in the same sense to a woman, (Lth, TA,) and so is رَجْلَي [feminine of رَجْلَانُ, like غَضْبَي feminine of غَضْبَانُ]: (S:) and the plural [of the first] is رَوَاجِلُ (TA) and ([of the first or second or] of the third, S) رِجَالٌ (Lth, S, TA) and رَجَالَي. (S.)

Lh mentions the saying, لَا تَفْعَلْ كَذَا أُمُّكَ رَاجِلٌ, but does not explain it: it seems to mean [Do not thus:] may thy mother mourn, and be bereft of thee. (TA.)

نَاقَةٌ رَاجِلٌ عَلَى وَلَدِهَا means A she-camel [left to give suck to her young one,] not having her udder bound with the صِرَار [q. v.]. (K.)
