8 اختزلهُ أختزله اختزله اختزلة ٱختزل ٱختزله He cut it off for himself. (S, * Msb, K. *) One says, اختزل المَالَ He cut off for himself the property. (TA.) And اختزلهُ عَنِ القَوْمِ He cut him off from the people, or party. (S.) ― -b2- And hence, اِخْتَزَلْتُ الوَدِيعَةَ (assumed tropical:) I was unfaithful in respect of the trust, or deposit; even if meaning I refused to restore it: because the doing so is a cutting off, for one's self, of the property of the owner. (Msb.) ― -b3- Accord. to Sb and the K, الاِخْتِزَالُ is also syn. with الحَذْفُ [The cutting off a thing; or cutting it so as to lessen it at its extremity; &c.]: but ISd says, I know not this on the authority of any other than Sb. (TA.) -A2- الختزال also signifies The being alone (K, TA) in opinion; with none to share therein. (TA.) -A3- And اختزل, He (a man) became lame; or walked lamely. (TA.)
