أَعْزَلُ ذ Sand (رَمْل) separate, or cut off, (IAar, O, K,) from other sands. (IAar, O.) ― -b2- Also A man not having with him any weapon; (S, O, K;) as also ↓ عُزُلٌ , (O, K,) occurring in a trad.; (O;) and ↓ مِعْزَالٌ , (K,) or this signifies not having with him a spear; (S, * K;) and the first is sometimes expl. as having this particular meaning: (TA:) pl. of the first, (S, O, K,) and of ↓ عُزُلٌ , (K, TA,) عُزْلٌ and عُزْلَانٌ and عُزَّلٌ, (S, O, K,) which is anomalous, but made to accord with حُسَّرٌ, pl. of the epithet حَاسِرٌ, because nearly like it in meaning, (R, MF,) and أَعْزَالٌ, (K,) or or this is pl. of ↓ عُزُلٌ , (O, TA,) and مَعَازِيلُ, (IJ, K,) which is anomalous, (TA,) and this is pl. of ↓ مِعْزَالٌ (S, O, K) also. (K.) Hence, the epithet الأَعْزَلُ is applied to one of the سِمَاكَانِ, (S, O, K, TA,) i. e., to one of the two stars of which each is called السِّمَاكُ [q. v.]; (TA;) because, unlike [the other سماك, i. e.] الرَّامِحُ, it has no star [near] before it that is regarded as its weapon; (S, * O, * K, * TA;) or because in the days of its rising [aurorally] there is no cold nor wind. (O, K.) ― -b3- And A bird that cannot fly. (MF, TA.) ― -b4- And Clouds (سَحَاب) in which is no rain. (S, O, K.) ― -b5- And A horse having his tail inclining to one side, (S, Mgh, O, K,) by habit, (S, O, K,) not naturally. (S, O.) [See عَزِلَ.] Hence the saying, أَعُوذُ بِا@للّٰهِ مِنَ الأَعْزَلِ عَلَى الأَعْزَلِ i. e. [I seek protection by God] from a [or the] man having with him no weapon, upon a [or the] horse of which the عَسِيب [or bone of the tail, or part of the tail where the hair grows,] is crooked. (TA.) ― -b6- And [app. as an epithet applied to an ass or the like,] Deficient in one of the حَرْقَفَتَانِ [which seems here to mean, in the crest of one of the two hip-bones]. (IAar, O, K.) ― -b7- And The share, of flesh-meat, of an absent man: (IAar, O, K: *) pl. عُزْلٌ. (IAar, O.)
