tal~N tl wly , accord. to Lth, [and accord. to general present usage,] A mound, or hill, of dust, or earth, [or rubbish, ] pressed together, not natural: but this is a mistake [if meant as an explanation of the proper application], for with the Arabs it signifies a natural hill: En-Nadr says that it is of the smaller sort of A_ikaAm [pl. of A^akamapN ]; it is of the height of a house, or tent, and the breadth of its back is about ten cubits; it is smaller than the A^akamap , has fewer stones, gives growth to nothing good, and its stones are compacted together exactly like those of the A^akamap : (T:) [the mound, or artificial hill, above mentioned, is what is meant by its being said,] the tal~ of dust, or earth, is well known: and the word signifies also a heap of sand: (M, K:*) in both of these senses from Alt~al~u signifying “ the throwing upon the ground ” anything of a corporeal kind: (M:) also a hill (M, K, TA) overtopping what is adjacent to it: (TA:) pl. [of pauc.] A^atolaAlN (M, TA) and A^atul~N (TA) and [of mult.] tilaAlN (T, S, Msb, K) and tuluwlN . (TA.) -A2- Also A pillow: pl. A^atolaAlN , which is extr.: or the pl. signifies certain sorts of cloths, or of garments: (K, TA:) or, as some say, of pillows. (TA.)
