(S, TA.) [See تَحْجِيلٌ explained as a simple subst., below.] ― -b3- [Hence also,] حَجَّلَتْ بَنَانَهَا She (a woman) coloured the dye of her fingers, or of the extremities of her fingers. (K, TA.)

(TA.) ― -b4- [Hence also,] تَحْجِيلٌ in the وُضُوْء signifies The washing a portion of the عَضُد [or upper arm, perhaps a mistake for the ذِرَاع, or fore arm,] and a portion of the shank, while washing the hand and foot.

(TA.) ― -b6- [Hence also, as تَحْجِيلٌ renders a horse conspicuous,] حَجَّلَ فُلَانٌ أَمْرَهُ (assumed tropical:) Such a one made his case, or affair, notorious, or public. (TA.) ― -b7- See also 1, first sentence. -A2- حَجَّلَهَا, inf. n. as above, He made for her a حَجَلَة: (M, K:) or he brought her, or put her, therein.
