1 Zal~a * , aor. yaZil~u , inf. n. ZilaAlapN : see 4. -A2- Zal~a , (T, M, Msb, K,) first pers. Zalilotu , (T, S, M, O, Msb, K,) [and accord. to SM Zalalotu also, for he says that] the verb is of the class of manaEa as well as of the class of taEiba , (TA,) and Zalotu , (T, S, * M, O, K,) likened to lasotu , (M, K, *) formed by rejecting the former l in Zalilotu , (T, O,) and Zilotu , which is [also] originally Zalilotu , (Sb, T, M, O, K,) formed by transferring to the Z the vowel of the rejected l , (Sb, T, M, O,) anomalously, (Sb, M,) the latter of the dial. of the people of El-Hijáz; (T;) aor. yaZal~u ; (S, * M, O, * Msb, K;) imperative AiZolalo and Zalo (T) [and it is implied in the M voce qar~a that one says also AiZolilo and Zilo , which indicates that the aor. is also yaZil~u , but this requires confirmation, which I have not anywhere found]; inf. n. ZuluwlN (T, S, M, O, Msb, K) and Zal~N (M, K) and Zil~N ; (thus also in a copy of the M; [but this I think doubtful;]) accord. to Lth, (T,) or Kh, (Msb,) [i. e. accord. to the author of the 'Eyn,] is said only of a thing that is done in the day, or daytimes; (T, S, M, O, Msb;) like as baAta , aor. yabiytu , is said only of a thing that is done in the night: (T:) it is an incomplete [i. e. a non-attributive] verb, relating to a time in which is a shade from the sun, from morning to evening, or from sunrise to sunset: (Esh-Shiháb, TA:) one says, Zal~a fulaAnN nahaArahu SaAy^imFA [ Such a one was during his day fasting; or he passed his day fasting ]: (Lth, T:) and Zal~a nahaArahu yafoEalu ka*aA [ He was in, or during, his day doing such a thing; or he passed his day doing such a thing ]: (M, K:) and Zalilotu A^aEomalu ka*aA [ I was in the day or daytime, or I passed the day, doing such a thing; or] I did such a thing in the day or daytime. (S, O, Msb. *) In the saying of 'Antarah, walaqado A^abiytu EalaY AlT~awaY waA^aZal~uhu Hat~aY A^anaAla bihi kariyma AlmaA^okali [app. meaning And verily I pass the night in hunger, and I pass the day in it, that I may attain thereby plentiful eating ], A^aZal~uhu is for A^aZal~u Ealayohi . (S, O.) And accord. to some, (TA,) Zal~a layolahu occurs in poetry; (M, K, TA;) so that one says, Zal~a layolahu yafoEalu ka*aA [ He was in, or during, his night, or he passed his night, doing such a thing ]: but it is said that in this case the verb has the meaning next following. (TA.) ― -b2- And it signifies also He, or it, became; syn. SaAra : (Er-Rághib, TA:) being in this sense likewise an incomplete [i. e. a non-attributive] verb, divested of that meaning of time which it radically denotes; as in the phrase in the Kur [xvi. 60 and xliii. 16], Zal~a wajohuhu musowad~FA [ His face becomes black ]: so says Ibn-Málik: (TA:) or this may mean his face continues all the day black: (Bd in xvi. 60:) and one says also, Zal~a yafoEalu ka*aA meaning He continued doing such a thing: this too is mentioned by Ibn-Málik, and is of the dial. of the people of Syria. (TA.) ― -b3- It is also a complete [i. e. an attributive] verb as meaning He, or it, continued; as is said in the Expos. of the “ Shifè, ” and by Ibn-Málik; and, as Ibn-Málik likewise says, it was, or became, long.
