أَدْفَعُهَا بِالرَّاحِ كَىْ تَزَحْلَفَا
” [And the sun had almost become near to setting, and to turning yellow; I repelling it with the palm of the hand in order that it might be warded off; تَزَحْلَفَا being for تَتَزَحْلَفَ]. (S.) See also the next paragraph. ― -b3- One says also تَزَحْلَفَتِ الشَّمْسُ meaning The sun inclined to setting: or declined from the meridian, at midday. (TA.)
