3 داملهُ دامله داملة , (T, M, K,) inf. n. مُدَامَلَةٌ, (S,) (tropical:) He treated him with gentleness, or blandishment; soothed, coaxed, wheedled, or cajoled, him; (T, M, K;) in order to effect a reconciliation between himself and him: (T, M, * TA:) مُدَامَلَةٌ is similar to مُدَاجَاةٌ. (S.) Abu-l-Hasan says, “ شَنِئْتُ مِنَ الإِِخْوَانِ مَنْ لَسْتُ زَائِلًا
السِّقَآءِ المُخَرَّقِ ↓ أُدَامِلُهُ دَمْلَ
” [(assumed tropical:) I hated, of the brethren, him whom I was not ceasing to treat gently, with the gentle treatment of the water-skin, or milk-skin, having in it many holes, or rents]: (T, M:) thus using an inf. n. with a verb to which it does not properly belong. (M.) And one says, دَامِلِ القَوْمَ, (so in a copy of the S,) or القَوْمَ ↓ أَدْمِلِ , (so in two other copies of the S, [but only the former agrees with the context,]) meaning اِطْوِهِمْ عَلَى مَا فِيهِمْ [i. e. (assumed tropical:) Treat thou the people with gentleness, notwithstanding what fault, or the like, there may be in them: see a phrase similar to this explanation voce بَلَلٌ]. (S, TA.)
