[The inf. n.] عَقْلٌ signifies The act of withholding, or restraining; syn. مَنْعٌ. (TA.) [This is app. the primary signification, or it may be from what next follows.]

عَقَلَ البَعِيرَ, (Ṣ, Mgh, O, Mṣb, Ḳ,) aor. ـِ {يَعْقِلُ}, (Ṣ, O, Mṣb,) inf. n. عَقْلٌ, (Ṣ, Mgh, O, Mṣb,) He bound the camel with the [rope called] عِقَال; (Mgh;) meaning he bound the camel's fore shank to his arm; (Ḳ;) i. e. he folded together the camel's fore shank and his arm and bound them both in the middle of the arm with the rope called عِقَال; (Ṣ, O, Mṣb;) andاعتقلهُ↓ signifies the same; as alsoعقّلهُ↓; (Ḳ;) or you say, عَقَّلْتُ الإِبِلَ, from العِقَالُ, (Ṣ, O,) inf. n. تَعْقِيلٌ, (O,) [i. e. I bound the camels in the manner expl. above,] this verb being with teshdeed because of its application to a number of objects: (Ṣ, O:) and sometimes the hocks were bound with the عِقَال. (TA.) The she-camel, also, was bound with the عِقَال on the occasion of her being covered:

and hence العَقْلُ is metonymically used as meaning الجِمَاعُ [i. e. † The act of compressing a woman]. (TA.)

عَقَلْتُ القَتِيلَ, (Ṣ, Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ,*) or المَقْتُولَ, (Ṣ, O,) aor. as above, (TA,) and so the inf. n., (Mṣb, TA,) means I gave, or paid, the bloodwit to the heir, or next of kin, of the slain person: (Ṣ, Mgh, O, Mṣb, Ḳ:*) for the camels [that constituted the bloodwit] used to be bound with the عِقَال in the yard of the abode of the heir, or next of kin, of the slain person; and in consequence of frequency of usage, the phrase became employed to mean thus when the bloodwit was given in dirhems or deenárs. (Aṣ, Ṣ, O, Mṣb.* [See a verse cited in the first paragraph {1} of art. عيف.]) And [hence] one says also, عَقَلْتُ عَنْهُ, (inf. n. as above, TA,) meaning I paid for him, (the slayer, Mgh,) i. e., in his stead, (Ṣ, Mgh, O, Mṣb, Ḳ,*) the bloodwit that was obligatory upon him, (Ṣ, Mgh, O, Ḳ,*) or what was obligatory upon him of the bloodwit. (Mṣb.) And عَقَلْتُ لَهُ دَمَ فُلَانٍ I relinquished in his favour retaliation of the blood of such a one for the bloodwit. (Ṣ, O, Mṣb, Ḳ.*) لَا تَعْقِلُ العَاقِلَةُ عَمْدًا وَلَا عَبْدًا, (Ṣ, Mgh, O, Mṣb, Ḳ,) in a trad. (Ṣ, O, Mṣb) of Esh-Shaabee, (O,) or a saying of Esh-Shaabee, (Mgh,* Ḳ,) not a trad., (Ḳ,) but the like occurs in a trad. related on the authority of I’Ab, (TA,) [meaning, accord. to an expl. of the verb when trans. without a particle, mentioned above, Those who are responsible for the payment of a bloodwit in certain cases shall not pay it for an intentional act of slaying or the like, nor for the slaying or the like of a slave,] applies, accord. to Aboo-Ḥaneefeh, to the case of a slave's committing a crime against a free person: (Ṣ, O, Mṣb, Ḳ: [and thus as expl. in the Mgh:]) but, (Ṣ, O, Mṣb, Ḳ,) accord. to Ibn-Abee-Leylà, (Ṣ, O, Mṣb,) it applies to the case of a free person's committing a crime against a slave; for if the meaning were as Aboo-Ḥaneefeh says, the phrase would be لَا تَعْقِلُ العَاقِلَةُ عَنْ عَبْدٍ; (Ṣ, O, Mṣb, Ḳ;) and Aṣ pronounced this to be correct: (Ṣ, O, Mṣb:*) Akmal-ed-Deen, however, in the Exposition of the Hidáyeh, says that عَقَلْتُهُ is used in the sense of عَقَلْتُ عَنْهُ, and that the context of the trad. indicates this meaning, which MF also defends. (TA.) [See also the saying لَا أَعْقِلُ الكَلْبَ الهَرَّارَ in art. هر.]

عَقَلَهُ, inf. n. as above, also means He set him up [app. a man] on one of his legs; [app. from عَقَلَ البَعِيرَ;] as also عَكَلَهُ: and every عَقْل is a raising. (TA.)

Also, [agreeably with the explanation of the inf. n. in the first sentence of this art.,] andعقّلهُ↓, andتعقّلهُ↓, (TA, [see also the first paragraph {1} of art. عجس,]) andاعتقلهُ↓, (Mṣb, TA,) He withheld him, or restrained him, (Mṣb, TA,) عَنْ حَاجَتِهِ from the object of his want. (TA.)

And [hence,] عَقَلَ الدَّوَآءُ بَطْنَهُ, (Ṣ, O, Mṣb, Ḳ,) aor. ـِ {يَعْقِلُ} (Ṣ, Ḳ) and ـُ {يَعْقُلُ}, (Ḳ,) inf. n. عَقْلٌ, (TA,) The medicine bound, or confined, his belly [or bowels]; syn. أَمْسَكَهُ: (Ṣ, O, Mṣb, Ḳ:) accord. to some, particularly after looseness: andاعتقل↓ بَطْنَهُ signifies the same. (TA.) And يَعْقِلُ الطَّبْعَ is said of a medicine [as meaning, in like manner, It binds the bowels; is astringent]. (TA in art. حمض;, &c.) And عقل البَطْنُ [app. عُقِلَ] The belly [or bowels] became bound, or confined; syn. اِسْتَمْسَكَ. (TA.)

عَقَلَ عَلَى القَوْمِ, [aor. ـِ {يَعْقِلُ},] inf. n. عِقَالٌ, means He collected, or exacted, the poor-rates of the people, or party; [app. from عَقَلَ البَعِيرَ; as though he bound with the rope called عِقَال the camels that he collected;] on the authority of IḲṭṭ. (TA.) ʼOmar, when he had deferred [collecting] the poor-rate in the year [of drought called] عَامُ الرَّمَادَةِ, sent Ibn-AbeeDhubáb, and said, اِعْقِلْ عَلَيْهِمْ عِقَالَيْنِ فَٱقْسِمْ فِيهِمْ عِقَالًا وَٱءْتِنِى بِٱلْآخَرِ [Collect thou from them two years' poor-rate; then divide among them one year's poor-rate, and bring to me the other]. (O.) One says of the collector of the poor-rate, يَعْقِلُ الصَّدَقَةَ [He collects, or exacts, the poor-rate]. (Ṣ, O.)

عَقَلَ فُلَانًا andاعتقلهُ↓ signify He threw down such a one [in wrestling] by twisting his leg upon the latter's leg: (Ḳ,* TA:) [or] you say,صَارَعَهُ فَٱعْتَقَلَهُ↓ الشَّغْزَبِيَّةَ He wrestled with him and twisted his leg upon the leg of the latter: (Ṣ, O:) and one says of a wrestler,لِفُلَانٍ عُقْلَةٌ↓ يَعْتَقِلُ↓ بِهَا النَّاسَ, (Ṣ, O,) or يَعْقِلُ بِهَا النَّاسَ, i. e.

عَقَلَ, aor. ـِ {يَعْقِلُ}, inf. n. عَقْلٌ andمَعْقُولٌ↓, (Ṣ, O, Ḳ,) or the latter, accord. to Sb, is an epithet, [or a pass. part. n.,] for he used to say that no inf. n. has the measure مَفْعُولٌ, (Ṣ, O,) He was, or became, عَاقِل [i. e. intelligent,, &c.; and soتعقّل↓; as though he were withheld, or restrained, from doing that which is not suitable, or befitting: see عَقْلٌ below]: andعقّل↓, (Ḳ, TA,) inf. n. تَعْقِيلٌ, (TA,) signifies the same, (Ḳ,) or [he possessed much intelligence, for] it is with teshdeed to denote muchness: (TA:) and عَقِلَ, aor. ـَ {يَعْقَلُ}, is a dial. var. of عَقَلَ, aor. ـِ {يَعْقِلُ}, signifying he became عَاقِل. (IḲṭṭ, TA.)

And عَقَلَ الشَّىْءَ, (Mṣb, Ḳ, TA,) aor. ـِ {يَعْقِلُ}, inf. n. عَقْلٌ, (Mṣb, TA,) He understood, or knew, the thing; syn. فَهِمَهُ: (Ḳ, TA:) or i. q. تَدَبَّرَهُ [app. as meaning he looked into, considered, examined, or studied, the thing repeatedly, until he knew it]; and عَقِلَ, aor. ـَ {يَعْقَلُ}, is a dial. var. thereof. (Mṣb.) See also 5.

مَا أَعْقِلُهُ عَنْكَ شَيْئًا, (Ṣ, and so in the Ḳ accord. to my copy of the TA, but in the CK and in my MṢ. copy of the Ḳاَعْقَلَهُ↓,) meaning دَعْ عَنْكَ الشَّكَّ [Dismiss from thee doubt], is [said to be] mentioned by Sb; as though the speaker said, مَا أَعْلِمُ شَيْئًا مِمَّا تَقُولُ فَدَعْ عَنْكَ الشَّكَّ [I know not aught of what thou sayest, so dismiss from thee doubt]; and [to be] like the phrases خُذْ عَنْكَ and سِرْ عَنْكَ: Bekr El-Mázinee says, “I asked AZ and Aṣ and Aboo-Málik and Akh respecting this phrase, and they all said, 'We know not what it is: '” (so in the Ṣ:) [but] it is a mistake, for مَا أَغْفَلَهُ; (Ḳ, TA;) and thus it is mentioned by Sb and others, with غ and ف. (TA.) نَخْلَةٌ لَا تَعْقِلُ الإِبَارَ ‡ A palm-tree that will not receive fecundation is a tropical phrase [perhaps from عَقَلَ meaning “he understood” a thing]. (A, TA.)

عَقْلٌ an inf. n. used as a subst. [properly so termed], (Mṣb,) A bloodwit, or mulct for bloodshed; syn. دِيَةٌ; (Aṣ, Ṣ, Mgh, O, Mṣb, Ḳ;) so called for a reason mentioned in the first paragraph in the explanation of the phrase عَقَلْتُ القَتِيلَ; (Aṣ, Ṣ, Mgh,* O, Mṣb;) as alsoمَعْقُلَةٌ↓, (Ṣ, Mgh, O, Ḳ,) of which مِعْقَلَةٌ↓, with fet-ḥ to the ق, is a dial. var., mentioned in the R; (TA;) and of which the pl. is مَعَاقِلُ: (Ṣ, O, Ḳ:) one says, لَنَاعِنْدَ فُلَانٍ ضَمَدٌ مِنْ مَعْقُلَةٍ↓ i. e.

(Meyd. [But see مَعْقُولٌ below.]) [Hence, أَسْنَانُ العَقْلِ (see 1 in art. حنك) and أَضْرَاسُ العَقْلِ (see ضِرْسٌ), both meaning The wisdom-teeth.]

And hence the saying of Aboo-Bekr, لَوْ مَنَعُونِى عِقَالًا (Mgh, O, Mṣb) If they refused me a year's poor-rate: (Mgh, O:) and it is said that the phrase أَخَذَ عِقَالًا was used when the collector of the poor-rate took the camels themselves, not their price: (TA:) or Aboo-Bekr meant a rope of the kind above mentioned; (Mgh, O, Mṣb;) for when one gave the poor-rate of his camels, he gave with them their عُقُل: (O, Mṣb:) or (Mgh, TA) he meant thereby a paltry thing, (Mgh, Mṣb, TA,) of the value of the [rope called] عقال: (TA:) or he said عَنَاقًا [“a she-kid”]; (Mgh, TA;) so accord. to Bkh, (Mgh,) and most others: (TA:) or جُدَيًّا [“a little kid”].
