عَمِلَ , aor.
عَمَلَ , inf. n. عَمَلٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,)
He worked, or wrought; laboured; served, or
did service: he did, acted, or performed: (K,
TA:) [generally, he did, &c., with a sort of difficulty, or with intention; but sometimes said of
an inanimate thing: (see عَمَلٌ, below:)] he did,
or he made, wrought, manufactured, or constructed, a thing. (Msb. [See, again, عَمَلٌ,
below.]) Accord. to Az, عَمِلَ is the only trans.
verb of its measure having the inf. n. of the
measure فَعَلٌ, except هَبِلَت, said of a mother,
inf. n. هَبَلٌ; other similar verbs having the
inf. n. of the measure فَعْلٌ; as سَرِطْتُ اللُّقْمَةَ,
inf. n. سَرْطٌ; and بَلِعْتُهُ, inf. n. بَلْعٌ. (TA. [But
see arts. سرط and بلع; with respect to the former
of which I must here state that, since it was
printed, I have found an authority for سَرْطٌ as
inf. n. of سَرِطَ in a copy of the S; though in the
K it is said to be مُحَرَّكَة, and accord. to the Msb
it is like تَعَبٌ.]) You say, عَمِلْتُ عَلَى الصَّدَقَةِ I
officiated in the collecting of the poor-rate. (Msb.)
[And عَمِلَ بِمَا فِى كِتَابِ ٱللّٰهِ He did according to
what is enjoined in the Book of God.] And
عَمِلَ فِى هَلَاكِهِ [He laboured to destroy him, or
to kill him]. (K in art. شيط.) [And عَمِلَ فِيهِ
It acted upon him, or it: and, said of a sword
&c., it had effect, or made an impression, upon
him, or it.] ―
2-b2- [Hence,] عَمِلَ فِيهِ signifies [also
(assumed tropical:) It governed it syntactically; or caused it to be
مَرْفُوع or مَنْصُوب or مَجْرُور &c.; i. e.] it produced
in it a certain species of syntactical desinence.
(K.) ―
2-b3- And عَمِلَ البَرْقُ The lightning was continual. (K.) And عَمِلَتْ بِأُذُنَيْهَا, said of a she-camel, (K,) and also, in a trad., of [the beast]
البُرَاق, (O, * TA,) She went quickly, or swiftly;
(O, K, TA;) because she that does thus puts her
ears in motion by reason of the vehemence of the
pace. (TA.) And عَمِلَت [alone] said of a she-camel, signifies [the same: or] She was, or became, brisk, light, active, or quick. (K.) ―
2-b4- And
[hence, app.,] لَمْ أَرَ النَّفَقَةَ تَعْمَلُ كَمَا تَعْمَلُ بِمَكَّةَ, a
saying mentioned by Lh, is expl. by ISd as
meaning تَنْفَقُ [i. e. I have not seen the money that
that one expends pass away as it passes away in
Mekkeh]. (TA.)
