And ↓ أُخْلِيَتْ , said of a cooking-pot, (assumed tropical:) It had firewood put to it, like as a she-camel has خَلًى put to her, and kindled beneath it: or, as some relate a verse in which it occurs, ↓ خُلِّيَتْ , [belonging to art. خلو,] having a similar meaning, from this verb said of a she-camel such as is termed خَلِيَّة, meaning “ she had ” a young one “ put to her. ” (Ham p. 663.) ― -b5- خَلَى الفَرَسَ, (K,) or خَلَاهُ اللِّجَامَ, (JK, TA,) (tropical:) He put the bit in the mouth of the horse, (JK, K, TA,) like fresh خَلًى.

(S.) 8 إِِخْتَلَىَ see 1, in two places. [Hence,] السَّيْفُ يَخْتَلِى الأَيْدِى وَالأَرْجُلَ (tropical:) The sword cuts off the arms and the legs. (JK, S, * TA.) 12 اخلولى اخلولى اخلولي He constantly drank milk. (IAar, K.) خَلًى خل خلى خلي Fresh, green, or juicy, herbage: (S, IB, Mgh, Msb, K:) that which is dry is termed حَشِيش [but see this word]: (Msb, from the Kf:) or dry حَشِيش: (so in one place in the S: [app. a mistake occasioned by an omission:]) or i. q. رُطْبٌ, (IB, Msb,) with damm, (IB,) [i. e. fresh, or green, pasture; or such as consists of the herbs, or leguminous plants, of the رَبِيع; or of these and of trees or shrubs:] or herbage that is cut, of the herbs, or leguminous plants, of the ربيع: (Lth, JK:) or, accord. to [the Imám] Mohammad, anything that is eaten as pasture, not [growing] upon a stem: (Mgh:) or slender herbage as long as it remains fresh, green, or juicy: (IAth, TA:) it is also written ↓ خَلَآءٌ , with medd, like قَضَآءٌ: (Msb:) n. un. خَلَاةٌ: (S, Msb, K:) or this signifies any herb (بَقْلَة) that one pulls up: (K, * TA:) pl. أَخْلَآءٌ, (K,) a pl. sometimes used [app. as meaning sorts of خَلًى]. (TA.) [Hence,] عَبْدٌ وَخَلًى فِى يَدَيْهِ [A slave with fresh herbage in his hands, or arms]; meaning, though a slave, yet rich, or possessing sufficiency: (S, TA:) a prov., (S, Meyd,) applied to the case of property possessed by him who does not deserve it: or, as some relate it, فى ↓ وَخُلِّىَ يديه [having fresh herbage put in his hands, or arms]: (Meyd:) but this latter reading is disallowed by Yaakoob: (S:) [see other readings, not belonging to this art., in Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 75:] هٰذَا, or هُوَ, is understood before عَبْدٌ. (Meyd.) And مَا كُنْتُ خَلَاةً لِمَوْعِدَةٍ (tropical:) I was not a breaker of a promise. (TA.) And [hence also, app., if this be the right reading,] إِِنَّهُ لَحُلْوُ الخَلَا [or rather الخَلَى]; or ↓ الخَلَآءِ : see خَلَآءٌ, in art. خلو. خَلَآءٌ خلآء : see the next preceding paragraph, in two places. خَالٍ خال خالي and ↓ مُخْتَلٍ A cutter of خَلًى.

(S, TA.) مِخْلَاةٌ مخل مخلاه مخلاة A thing [or bag] into which خَلًى is put: (S, K:) [and hence a nose-bag for a horse or the like; so in the present day;] a small sack that is hung to the head of a horse [or the like], in which he eats barley [&c.]: (Har p. 76:) so called because they used to cut [and put] خَلًى therein for their beasts: (JK:) pl. مَخَالٍ.
