(MA.) ― -b3- [Golius assigns to دال, with دَوْلَةٌ for its inf. n., as on the authority of the S and KL, two significations app. from two meanings of دَوْلَةٌ, one of which he seems to have misunderstood, and to neither of which do I find any corresponding verb: they are “ Obivit alter alterum in bello: ” and “ superior evasit. ” There are many inf. ns. that have no corresponding verbs.] ― -b4- دال, aor. يَدُوِلُ, (T, K,) inf. n. دَوْلٌ and دَالَةٌ, (K,) or دَوْلَةٌ, (T,) He became notorious [either in a bad or in a good sense]; expl. by صَارَ شُهْرَةً, (IAar, T, K,) i. e. مَشْهُورًا.
