مُذَلَّلٌ ذ : see ذَلِيلٌ. ― -b2- Also, [applied to palmtrees (نَخْل),] (assumed tropical:) Having the fruit thereof bent [down] in order that it may be [easily] gathered: [see also its verb (2):] so in the following verse of Imra-el-Keys: (Sgh, TA:) “ وَكَشْحٍ لَطِيفٍ كَالجَدِيلِ مُخَصَّرٍ
وَسَاقٍ كَأُنْبُوبِ السَّقِىِّ المُذَلَّلِ
” meaning And a waist slender like the camel's nose-rein of [twisted] leather, thin; and a shank resembling, in the clearness of its colour, the stalk (lit. internodal portion) of the papyrus (بَرْدِىّ) growing among irrigated palm-trees having their racemes bent down (ذُلِّلَتْ) by reason of the abundance of their fruit; so that their branches overshade these papyrus-plants: or, accord. to some, and a shank resembling the stalk of the irrigated papyrus that is bent down (مُذَلَّل) by saturation: (EM pp. 28 and 29:) As says that it means, [agreeably with the former explanation,] سَاقٍ كَأُنْبُوبِ بَرْدِىٍّ بَيْنَ هٰذَا النَّخْلِ المُذَّلَلِ: AO says that سَقِىّ means watered [naturally,] without occasioning one's taking any trouble to water: IAar explained المُذَلَّل as meaning having the way of the water thereto made easy: and some say that by السَّقِىّ is meant the tender, white, stalk of the بَرْدِىّ. (T.)
