[1] فَالَ رَأْيُهُ , aor. يَفِيلُ, (S, M, O, K,) inf. n. فُيُولَةٌ, (S,) thus in some copies of the K and in the A, (TA,) or فَيْلُولَةٌ, (M, O,) thus in other copies of the K, (TA,) and فَيَالَةٌ, thus in the O, but in the copies of the K فَيْلَة, (TA,) His judgment, or opinion, was weak, (S, M, O, K,) and erroneous; (M, K;) as also ↓ تفيّل; (M, Z, K, TA;) and [in like manner] فَيَّلَفِى رَأْيِهِ [not فُيِّلَ] he was incorrect in his judgment, or opinion; and ↓ فَيَّلُوا occurs in a trad. as meaning فال رَأْيُهُمْ: (TA:) [and فَالَ alone, said of a man, signifies the same as فال رَأْيُهُ, as is shown by a verse of El-Kumeyt cited in the T and M and O and TA: but it seems from what here follows (taken from a passage unconnected with the foregoing) that the first and third of what are mentioned above as inf. ns. are regarded by some as simple substs.:] and one says, ↓ فِى رَأْيِهِ فَيَالَةٌ, (T, M, K, TA,) the last word like سَحَابَةٌ, (TA, [in the CK, erroneously, فى رِوَايَةٍ فِيَالَةٌ,]) and ↓ فُيُولَةٌ, (M, K, TA,) meaning [In his judgment, or opinion, is] a weakness. (TA.) = 1-A2- And فال signifies also He (a man) magnified himself, and became like the elephant (الفِيل); or he showed a morose aspect: (TA:) [or it may so signify: IAar cites the following verse: مِنَ النَّاسِ أَقْوَامٌ إِذَا صَادَفُوا الغِنَى تَوَلَّوْا وَفَالُوا لِلصَّدِيقِ وَفَخَّمُوا which may mean [Of mankind are folks who, when they find riches, turn the back, and] magnify themselves and become like the elephant [to the friend, and aggrandize themselves] or show a morose aspect to the friend [&c.]; for the elephant is morose in aspect. (M.)
