هلث هلج هلجب


إِهْلِيلَجٌ

إِهْلِيلَجٌ (IAạr, Ṣ, Ḳ) and إِهْلِيلِجٌ, (Fr, Sh, Ḳ,) but this is disapproved by IAạr, who observes that there are no words in Arabic of the measure إِفْعِيلِلٌ, but there are of the measure إِفْعِيلَلٌ, as إِهْلِيلَجٌ and إِبْرِيسَمٌ and إِطْرِيفَلٌ, (Ṣ,) and هَلِيلَجٌ, (L,) but this is disallowed by ISk, (Ṣ,) [a coll. gen. n.,] n. un. with ة, (Ḳ,) an arabicized word, (Ṣ,) from اهليله, (TA,) [or rather هلِيلَهْ, a Persian word,] A well-known fruit, [the fruit of the myrobalan, as well as the myrobalan-tree,] one kind of which is yellow, (Ḳ,) and another kind black, the latter being in the highest state of ripeness, and another kind called كَابُلِىٌّ: it is useful as a remedy for quinseys, and preserves the intel-lect, and removes the head-ache, (when used made into a conserve, TA,) and is, in the stomach, like an intelligent housewife, who is a good manager, in the house: (Ḳ, TA; but omitted in some copies of the Ḳ:) so is this medicine to the brain and stomach. (TA.) [See also بِلِيلَجٌ, in art. بلج.]
