(assumed tropical:) He affected stupidity, dulness, or want of intelligence; or he became submissive, and humble; &c.]. (TA.) [See also 2.] -A2- بَغَلَهُمْ: see 2. 2 تَبْغِيلٌ تبغيل , the inf. n., signifies (assumed tropical:) The being big, thick, or rude, and hard, strong, or sturdy, in body; or said of the body: and hence, accord. to some, is derived ↓ بَغْلٌ .

(TA.) ― -b3- بغّلت الإِِبِلُ, (K,) inf. n. as above, (S, K,) (tropical:) The camels went a pace between that termed هَمْجَلَة and that termed عَنَق: (S, * K, TA:) and hence ↓ بَغْلٌ is derived accord. to IDrd: (TA:) or they went in a certain manner, with wide step: (JK:) [see also 5:] or the inf. n. signifies the going in a gentle manner: and one says, أَعْيَا فَبَغَّلَ, i. e. [he was fatigued, so] he went an easy, but a quick, pace; syn. هَمْلَجَ. (TA.) -A2- بَغَّلَهُمْ, (inf. n. as above, TA,) (tropical:) He made their children to be base-born, or ignoble, (K, TA,) by marrying among them; (IDrd, TA;) as also ↓ بَغَلَهُمْ , aor. بَغَلَ : (K:) from بَغْلٌ; because the بغل [or mule] is unable to equal the heat, or course, of the horse.

[See also 2.] بَغْلٌ بغل غل The mule; i. e. the animal generated between the he-ass and the mare [or sometimes between the horse and the she-ass]; (TA;) also called ↓ بَغَّالٌ ; so in a verse of Jereer: (S, Sgh:) pl. أَبْغَلٌ [a pl. of pauc.] (JK) and أَبْغَالٌ, [also] a pl. of pauc., (Msb,) and بِغَالٌ, (JK, S, Msb, K,) a pl. of mult.; (Msb;) and quasi-pl. n. ↓ مَبْغُولَآءُ , (K,) meaning a number of mules (بِغَال) together: (JK, * S:) the female is termed بَغْلَةٌ; (S, Msb, K;) pl. بَغَلَاتٌ and بِغَالٌ.
