زُغْلُولٌ ذ Light, or active, (Kr, JK, S, K,) in spirit and in body, (IKh, TA,) and quick; an epithet applied to a man: (JK:) mentioned by Kr with ع and with غ: (TA:) in the “ Musannaf ” of A'Obeyd, with غ only. (TA in art. زعل.) ― -b2- Also A young infant: (JK, S, K:) pl. زَغَالِيلُ. (TA.) One says صِبْيَةٌ زَغَالِيلُ Little children. (TA.) And كَيْفَ زُغْلُولُكَ How is thy little one? (A, TA.) ― -b3- And An orphan. (IKh, TA.) ― -b4- And The young one of the pigeon. (TA.) ― -b5- [Freytag explains it as signifying also “ Pallus ovis, cameli lactens; ” but whether this be intended to express a single meaning is not clear to me: ― -b6- also, on the authority of Dmr, as signifying A man light in respect of dignity and manners: app. as being likened to a young child.]
