(TA.) -A2- And عَلَّ, (Msb, K,) or عَلَّ بِنَفْسِهِ, the verb being also intrans., (S, O,) aor. عَلِ3َ (IAar, Msb, K) and عَلُ3َ , (IAar, K,) inf. ns. as above, (TK,) He drank (IAar, * S, O, Msb, K) the second draught: (IAar, * S, O, K:) or drank after drinking, uninterruptedly: (K:) and عَلَّتِ الإِِبِلُ, aor. عَلِ3َ and عَلُ3َ , The camels drank the second draught.

(Msb. See 4.) -A6- [عُلَّ الشَّىْءُ is mentioned in the S, with the addition ↓ فَهُوَ مَعْلُولٌ , but without any explanation; perhaps as meaning The thing was caused; from عِلَّةٌ “ a cause, ” of which مَعْلُولٌ (q. v.) is the correlative: but the context seems to indicate that it means the thing was used for the purpose of diverting from some want: Golius appears to have read عَلَّ, and to have been led by what next precedes it in the S to render it loco alterius rei fuit lactavitve res.]
