تَخَاتُلٌ

i. q. تَخَادُعٌ [as meaning The deceiving one another; thus explained in the KL: and apparently also as meaning the pretending deceit, &c.; or the pretending to be deceived, &c.: according to the PS, the being deceived; but for this I know not any other authority]. (S.) You say, تخاتلوا, meaning تخادعوا [They deceived, deluded, beguiled, circumvented, or outwitted, one another]. (K.) And تخاتل عَنْ غَفْلَةٍ [apparently meaning He pretended deceit &c., or pretended to be deceived &c., unawares]. (TA.)
