You say, لَهُ أُثَالٌ كَأَنَّهُ أُثَالٌ (tropical:) He has glory, or honour, &c., as though it were the mountain called Othál. (TA.) [But the next signification seems to be here more appropriate.] ― -b2- (tropical:) Wealth, or property. (Mgh.)

أَثِيلٌ A place of growth of trees of the kind called أَرَاك [perhaps a mistranscription for أَثْل ]: mentioned by Th, from IAar. (T.) -A2- Abundant, and luxuriant, or long, hair. (TA.) ― -b2- See also مَوءَثَّلٌ in two places.

ا=ثِلٌ ا=ثل : see مُوءَثَّلٌ .

مُوءَثَّلٌ Having root, or a foundation; or firm, or established, and firmly rooted or founded: (S:) or having a permanent source, or firm foundation: (Munjid of Kr:) or of old foundation or origin: or collected together so as to [become stable or permanent, or] have root or a foundation: (T:) or old; of ancient origin; or of long standing: (M, TA:) or permanent: (IAar:) (tropical:) applied to glory, honour, dignity, nobility, or high rank; (T, Kr, S, M, TA;) and so ↓ أَثِيلٌ : (S, TA:) and to wealth, or property: (Kr, S:) and to anything; (T, M;) and so ↓ أَثِيلٌ , and ↓ مُتَأَثِّلٌ : (M:) and ↓ ا=ثِلٌ , also, has the first of these significations, applied to dominion.

(Mgh.) So in a trad. on the subject of a charge respecting the orphan, يَأْكُلُ مِنْ مَالِهِ غَيْرَ مُتَأَثِّلٍ مَالًا [He may eat of his wealth, or property, not taking for himself a source, stock, or fund, of wealth, or property: or, not collecting &c.]: (T, S, Mgh:*) or, accord. to Bkh, not acquiring abundance of wealth: but the former explanation is more correct lexically. (Mgh.)
