, verbal noun تَخْلِيلٌ, [He picked his teeth;] he extracted the remains of food between his teeth with a خِلَال [or toothpick]; (Msb, K, * in which latter the pass. form of the verb is mentioned;) and so ↓ تخلّل, alone; (T, S, * O, TA;) but according to the K, you say, تخللّٰهُ [he extracted it], meaning the remains of food between the teeth. (TA.)
