تَزَحْلَفَ

He, or it, rolled down or along. (S, * K, * TA.) One says, يَتَزَحْلَفُونَ فِيهِ [They roll down it]; namely, a smoothed descending, or sloping, place. (IAar, T, S.)

And He, or it, became pushed, impelled, repelled, or driven away or back. (S, K.) [Hence,] El-Ajjáj says,

وَالشَّمْسُ قَدْ كَادَتْ تَكُونُ دَنَفَا

أَدْفَعُهَا بِالرَّاحِ كَىْ تَزَحْلَفَا

[And the sun had almost become near to setting, and to turning yellow; I repelling it with the palm of the hand in order that it might be warded off; تَزَحْلَفَا being for تَتَزَحْلَفَ]. (S.) See also the next paragraph.

One says also تَزَحْلَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ meaning The sun inclined to setting: or declined from the meridian, at midday. (TA.)
