going with the herd; or remained behind the
herd. (As, S.) And خَذَلَتْ She (a gazelle, &c.,
K, as, for instance, a [wild] cow, TA) held back
from going with her female companions, and
remained alone: or held back, or remained
behind, not overtaking [the others]: (K:) or you
say, of a female gazelle, and of a [wild] cow,
تَخْذُلُ صَوَاحِبَاتِهَا She holds back from going with
her female companions, or remains behind them,
with her young one, in the place of pasturage: or
remains alone with him; as A'Obeyd says, on
the authority of As. (T, TA.) And خَذَلَتْ She
(a wild animal, S, O, or a gazelle, K) remained
attending to her young one [when the rest of the
herd had gone]; (S, O, K;) said by some to be
inverted [as to the meaning], because she is [not
the one that leaves, but] the one that is left;
(S;) as also ↓ تخاذلت, (S, K,) and ↓ اخذلت.

خَذَلَتْ عَنْهُ العَرَاقِى فَٱنْجَذَمْ
meaning [And he is, or was, like the bucket in
the hand of the drawer of water,] of which the
cross pieces of wood have become separated from
it [so that it has become severed from the wellrope]. (S.)
