إِِزِلْزِلْ ذ [said by Freytag to be written in the CK زِلْزِلْ, but in my copy of that edition it is اِزِلْزِلْ,] is a word uttered on the occasion of the زَلْزَلَة, (so in copies of the K,) or on the occasions of زَلَازِل: (so in the TA:) [app. an ejaculation expressive of alarm, or of distress: the Turkish translator of the K thinks that it is originally أَزُلْزِلَ, contracted and altered in the vowels for the purpose of alleviating the utterance on account of the straitness of the time:] but IJ says that a word of four radical letters does not receive an augmentative like this as an initial; and holds it to be, as to the letter and the meaning, from الأَزْلُ [i. e. “ straitness, distress, ” &c.], and of the measure فِعِلْعِلْ.
