سَاعِلٌ

[Coughing]. You say نَاقَةٌ سَاعِلٌ, (O, K,) without ة, (O,) meaning A she-camel having a cough. (O, K.)

And إِنَّهُ لَذُو سُعَالٍ سَاعِلٍ [Verily he has a violent cough]: (O, K: *) a phrase having an intensive meaning: (K:) by rule one should say سُعَال مُسْعِل; but thus the Arabs said, like as they said شُغْلٌ شَاغِلٌ and شِعْرٌ شَاعِرٌ: and [in like manner] a poet cited by Lth says ذُو سَاعِلٍ. (O.)
