qualities], inf. n.
عَلَآءٌ [in some

عُلُوٌّ; (K;) and thus the two verbs are used in
the saying of the poet cited above: (TA:) and

عَلَتِ الشَّمْسُ The sun became
high; as also ↓

دلك:) and [hence,]
عَلَا النَّهَارُ The day became advanced, the sun being somewhat high; syn.

arose, upon it; overlay
it; was, or
became, superincumbent, or

[(assumed tropical:)
I did not ask, or
demand, of thee, what would
lie as a burden on thy back; or]

is allowed by some, but disallowed by others, in
the sense of

Then aim thou at that for which thou hast sufficient strength, or
power, and over which thou hast
absolute control: (
بِهِ being understood after

affairs?]. (S.) [And hence, perhaps,] one says

ابق بعده [app.
اُعْلُ بِهِ and
اِبْقَ بَعْدَهُ, as though
meaning (assumed tropical:)
Have thou ability to consume it, and
so
survive thou it; like as one says to him who
puts on a new garment,
أَبْلِ (see 4 in art.
بلو)]:

a prayer for his continuance in life. (TA.) ―
2-b7-
عَلَوْتُ عَلَى فُلَانٍ الرِّيحَ means
I was [or
went]
on
