From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root ملك. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

مَلَكَهُ He possessed it, or owned it, [and particularly] with ability to have it to himself exclusively: (M, K:) [and he exercised, or had, authority over it; for] مُلْكٌ signifies the exercise of authority to command and to forbid in respect of the generality of a people [&c.]: (Er-Rághib, TA:) or the having possession and command or authority: and the having power to exercise command or authority. (TA.) مِلْكٌ , as inf. n. of مَلَكَهُ meaning He possessed it, is more common than مَلْكٌ and مُلْكٌ . ― -b2- [ مَلَكَ أَمْرَهُ He had the ruling, or ordering, of his affair, or case] And مَلَكَ عَلَى النَّاسِ أَمْرَهُمْ He had the dominion, or sovereignty, or ruling power, over the people. (Msb.) -A2- See 4.
