1 خَجِلَ خجل , (S, Msb, K, &c.,) aor. خَجَلَ , (K,) inf. n. خَجَلٌ, (S, Msb, &c.,) but not خَجَالَةٌ, [though authorized by the KL, in my copy of which I find it thus written (not خِجَالَةٌ as written by Golius),] for this is a vulgar mistake for خَجَلَةٌ or خَجْلٌ, (Mgh, [so in my copy, but correctly ↓ خَجَلَةٌ (which may be either a simple subst. or an inf. n. of un.) or خَجَلٌ,]) He was, or became, confounded, or perplexed, and unable to see his right course, by reason of shame: (S, O:) or he was, or became, ashamed, and confounded, or perplexed, and unable to see his right course, (T, M, K,) [or, simply, ashamed, (see خَجِلٌ,)] in consequence of a deed that he had done: (T, M, TA:) thus الخَجَلُ has a more particular signification than الحَيَآءُ: (TA:) or it is like الاِسْتِحْيَآءُ. (Msb.) ― -b2- And He remained silent, (T, K,) or still, (M,) not speaking nor moving. (K.) ― -b3- And He was, or became, in a confused and dubious case, (JK, M, * K, *) so that he knew not how to extricate himself from it. (M, K.) ― -b4- Also, said of a camel, (tropical:) He went in mud, and became like him who is confounded, or perplexed, and unable to see his right course: (JK, * M, K, TA:) or he stuck fast in mire. (T, TA.) ― -b5- And in like manner, (assumed tropical:) He became agitated, or convulsed, or he struggled, or floundered, with his load: (JK:) or خَجِلَ بِالْحِمْلِ he was oppressed by the load, (K, TA,) so that he was agitated, or convulsed, or he struggled, or floundered, beneath it. (TA.) ― -b6- And, said of a plant, or of herbage, (tropical:) It was, or became, tall, and tangled, or luxuriant, or abundant and dense; (ISd, K, TA;) and so ↓ اخجل said of the kind of trees termed حَيْض. (JK, K.) ― -b7- [And, as inf. n. of خَجِلَ,] خَجَلٌ also signifies The bearing richness ill; as when, being rich, one exults, or exults greatly or excessively, and behaves insolently and unthankfully: (S, * K:) or the taking a wide, or an ample, range, or being profuse, when rich. (TA.) It is related in a trad. that he [Mohammad] said to the women, إِِذَا جُعْتُنَّ وَ إِِذَا شَبِعْتُنَّ خَجِلْتُنَّ, (S, * TA,) i. e. When ye are hungry, ye become lowly, humble, or submissive, and cleave to the dust, or earth; (S and TA in art. دقع;) or ye bear poverty ill: (TA in the present art.;) and when ye are satiated, [ye bear richness ill; or] ye exult, or exult greatly or excessively, and behave insolently and unthankfully. (S in the present art.) [See also a verse of El-Kumeyt cited in the first paragraph of art. دقع.] ― -b8- And i. q. بَرَمٌ [The being affected with disgust, loathing, or aversion; the being vexed, grieved, disquieted by grief, &c.] (K, TA. [In the CK, البَرْمُ is erroneously put for البَرَمُ.]) ― -b9- And The being remiss in seeking subsistence. (K.) ― -b10- And The being lazy, or indolent: (Az, ISd, K:) from the verb in the sense explained in the second sentence of this paragraph. (TA.) ― -b11- And i. q. [The being bad, corrupt, &c.]. (M, K.) ― -b12- Also, in a shirt, (assumed tropical:) The being much slit, or rent, in the lower parts, or skirts. (Fr, K.)
