حِوَلٌ حول Removal from one place to another, in a passive sense; a subst. from تَحَوَّلَ: (S, O, K:) and in an active sense; a subst. from حَوَّلَهُ; (K;) accord. to ISd, it is the latter [only]; (TA;) as also ↓ حَوِيلٌ . (K.) Hence, in the Kur [xviii. 108], لَا يَبْغُونَ عَنْهَا حَوْلًا [They shall not desire removal from it] حَوُلَ (S, M, O, K:) or, as some say, it here means ↓ حِيلَةً ; i. e. they shall not [desire to] practise, or seek to practise, any evasion from it to another abode. (TA.) ― -b2- See also حِيَلةٌ [of which it is said to be both a syn. and a pl.]. ― -b3- And see حُولَةٌ. -A2- Also A furrow, or trench, in the ground, in which palm-trees are planted in a row. (ISd, K.)
