1 $akala * , as an intrans. verb: see 4, in three places. ― -b2- And see 5. -A2- $akala Alfarasa biAl$~ikaAli , (S,) or $akala Ald~aAb~apa , (Msb, K,) aor. $akula , inf. n. $akolN , (Msb,) He bound [ the horse or] the beast, with the $ikaAl ; (Msb;) [i. e.] he bound the legs of [ the horse or] the beast with the rope called $ikaAl ; as also ↓ $ak~alahaA , (K,) inf. n. ta$okiylN . (TA.) And $akalotu AlT~aAy^ira [app. I bound the legs of the bird in like manner ]. (S.) And $akalotu Eani AlbaEiyri I bound the camel's $ikaAl between the fore girth and the hind girth; (S;) [i. e.] I put [or extended ], between the hind girth and the fore girth of the camel, a cord, or string, called $ikaAl , and then bound it, in order that the hind girth might not become [ too ] near to the sheath of the penis. (TA in art. Hqb .) ― -b2- And [hence, i. e.] from the $ikaAl of the beast, (TA,) $akala AlkitaAba , (AHát, S, Msb, K, TA,) inf. n. as above, (Msb, TA,) (tropical:) He restricted [ the meaning or pronunciation of ] the writing, ( qay~adahu , AHát, S, TA,) or he marked the writing, ( A^aEolamahu , Msb,) with the signs of the desinential syntax (AHát, * S, * Msb, TA *) [ and the other syllabical signs and the diacritical points ]: or i. q. A^aEojamahu : (K:) but AHát says that $akala AlkitaAba has the former meaning; and A^aEojamahu signifies he dotted, or pointed, it [ with the diacritical points ]: (TA:) and AlkitaAba ↓ A$kl signifies the same as $akalahu ; (S, Msb, K, TA;) as though [meaning] he removed from it dubiousness and confusion; (S, K, * TA;) so that the A^ in this case is to denote privation: (TA:) this [J says (TA)] I have transcribed from a book, without having heard it. (S.) ― -b3- And $akalato $aEorahaA , (O, TA,) aor. $akula ; thus correctly, as pointed by IKtt; accord. to the K ↓ $k~lt ; (TA;) (assumed tropical:) She (a woman) plaited two locks of her hair, of the fore part of her head, on the right and left, (O, K, TA,) and then bound with them her other *awaAy^ib [or pendent locks or plaits ].

$akolN * i. q. $abapN [as meaning A likeness, resemblance, or semblance; a well-known signification of the latter word, but one which I do not find unequivocally assigned to it in its proper art. in any of the lexicons]. (AA, K, TA. [In the CK, and in my MS. copy of the K, in the place of Al$~abahu as the first explanation of Al$~akolu in the K accord. to the TA, we find Al$~ibohu ; but that the explanation which I have given is correct, is shown by what here follows.]) One says, fiY fulaAnK $akolN mino A^abiyhi , meaning $abahN [i. e. In such a one is a likeness, or resemblance, of his father ]: (AA, TA:) and mino A^abiyhi ↓ fiyhi A^a$okalapN and ↓ $ukolapN (AA, O, K, TA) and ↓ $aAkilN , (O, K, TA,) [likewise] meaning $abahN , (AA, O, K, TA,) and mu$aAbahapN : (TK:) and ↓ $aAkilapN also is syn. with $akolN [in the sense of $abahN ]; (K, TA;) [for] one says, h`*aA EalaY $aAkilapi A^abiyhi as meaning $abahihi [i. e.

This is according to the model, or pattern, or the mode, or manner, of this ]. (TA.) ― -b3- And The shape, form, or figure, ( Suwrap ,) of a thing; such as is perceived by the senses; and such as is imagined: (K:) the form ( hayoy^ap ), of a body, caused by the entire contents' being included by one boundary, as in the case of a sphere; or by several boundaries, as in those bodies that have several angles or sides, such as have four and such as have six [&c.]: so says Ibn-El-Kemál: (TA:) pl.

(TA.) ― -b6- Also A thing that is suitable to one; or fit, or proper, for one: you say, h`*aA mino hawaAYa wamino $akoliY [ This is of what is loved by me and of what is suitable to me ]: (K, TA:) and layosa $akoluhu mino $akoliY [ What is suitable to him is not of what is suitable to me ].
