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

تَلَا تل تلا He followed; or went, or walked, behind, or after. (IAar, T.) You say, تَلَوْتُهُ , (S, M, Msb, K,) aor. تَلُوَ , (S, Msb, K,) inf. n. تُلُوٌّ (S, M, Msb, K) and تَلْوٌ , (Er-Rághib, MF,) I followed him or it; or went, or walked, behind, or after, him or it; (S, M, Msb, K;) namely, a man [&c.]; (S, Msb;) immediately, or without intervention; and sometimes it means bodily [or in reality]; and sometimes, virtually, or in effect: (Er-Rághib:) and so تَلَيْتُهُ ; (K;) and ↓ تَلَّيْتُهُ , (As, * T, * K,) inf. n. تَتْلِيَةٌ . (K.) The phrase, in the Kur xci. 2, وَالقَمَرِ اـِذَا تَلَاهَا means By the moon when its rising follows the rising thereof; i. e., the rising of the sun; at the beginning of the lunar month: (Bd:) or, when it follows in rising the setting thereof, (Bd, Jel,) on the night of the full moon: (Bd:) or, when it follows it in becoming round, and in fullness of light; (M, * Bd;) i. e., when it follows it in the way of imitation, and in respect of rank; for the moon borrows its light of the sun, and is to it in the place of a successor. (Er-Rághib.) Here, Ks pronounced تلاها with imáleh, [either because تَلَيْتُ is a dial. var. of تَلَوْتُ , or] because, although it has و for its last radical letter, it occurs with words that may be so pronounced, namely, يَغْشَاهَا and بَنَاهَا . (M.) ― -b2- تَلَوْتُ الأِبِلَ (tropical:) I drove, or brought, or gathered, the camels together, from their several quarters: because the driver follows the driven. (A, TA.) ― -b3- هُوَ يَتْلُو فُلَانًا He imitates such a one, and follows what he does; he follows him in action. (T.) ― -b4- تَلَا , (T,) first pers. تَلَوْتُ , (S, M, Msb, K,) aor. تَلُوَ , (T,) inf. n. تِلَاوَةٌ , (T, S, M, Msb, K,) He read, or perused, or he recited, (T, M, K,) the Kur-án, (S, M, Msb, K,) or any discourse, or piece of language: (M, K:) or he followed it, (I'Ab, T, S, * M,) and did according to it; (I'Ab, Mujáhid, T;) namely, the Scripture: (I'Ab, Mujáhid, T, M:) or the inf. n. specially signifies the following God's revealed Scriptures, sometimes by reading, or perusing, or by reciting, and sometimes by conforming therewith [as well as by reading, &c., but not otherwise, for] every تِلَاوَة is قِرَا=ءَة , but the reverse is not the case. (Er-Rághib, TA.) [You say also, تَلَا عَلَيْهِ He recited, or related, to him a narrative &c.: see Kur v. 30, &c.] And فُلَانٌ يَتْلُو عَلَى فُلَانٍ , and يَقُولُ عَلَيْهِ , Such a one lies, or says what is false, against such a one. (TA.) وَا@تَّبَعُوا مَا تَتْلُوالشَّيَاطِينُ , in the Kur ii. 96, means [And they followed] what the devils related, or rehearsed, ('Atà, T,) or spoke; (A'Obeyd, T;) or, what the devils of the Jinn, or of mankind, or of both, read, or recited, or what they followed, of the writings of enchantment: (Bd:) some here read ↓ تُتَلِّى . (T.) Hence the saying, لَا دَرَيْتَ وَلَا تَلَيْتَ : (T:) or, accord. to Yoo, it is ↓ ولا أَتْلَيْتَ : (T, S:) and others say that it is ولا ا@يءْتَلَيْتَ , from أَلَوْتُ . (T. [See these three readings explained in the latter part of the first paragraph of art. الو .]) -A2- He remained behind, or held back. (IAar, ISk, T.) You say, تَلَا بَعْدَ قَوْمِهِ He held back, or lagged behind, after his people, or company, and remained. (TA.) And تَلَوْتُهُ , (AZ, A'Obeyd, T, S, M, K,) and تَلَوْتُ عَنْهُ , (AZ, T, M, K,) aor. تَلُوَ , (AZ, T,) inf. n. تُلُوٌّ , (AZ, T, M,) I left him, and held back from going with him: (AZ, T:) I held back from him, or from aiding him, and left him: (AZ, A'Obeyd, T, S, M, K:) thus the verb bears two contr. significations. (K.) -A3- He bought a تِلْو , meaning the young one of a mule. (IAar, T, K.) -A4- تَلِيَتْ لِى مِنْ حَقِّى تَلِيَّةٌ , and تُلَاوَةٌ , aor. تَلَوَ , (ISk, S,) inf. n. تَلًا , (TA,) There remained to me, of my right, or due, a remainder. (ISk, S.) And تَلِيَتْ لِى عِنْدَهُ تَلِيَّةٌ There remained to me, with him, or there remained owing to me by him, a remainder. (As, T.) And تَلِىَ مِنَ الشَّهْرِ كَذَا , (M, K,) inf. n. تَلًا , (M,) There remained, of the month, such a portion. (M, K.)

(T.) ― -b3- تلّى صَلَاتَهُ , (T, M, K,) inf. n. تَتْلِيَةٌ , (K,) He made his prayer to be followed by other prayer: (T:) or he made his prescribed prayer to be followed by supererogatory prayer. (Sh, M, K.) ― -b4- تلّىِ , inf. n. as above, [is also said to signify] He stood erect for prayer. (TA. [But see مِتَلٌّ , in art. تل .] ― -b5- Also He accomplished, or fulfilled, his vow.

(M.) ― -b4- أَتْلَيْتُهُ عَلَى فُلَانٍ I referred him, or turned him over, for the payment of what was owing to him, to such a one, transferring the responsibility for the debt to the latter. (T, S, * K. *) ― -b5- اتلاهُ ذِمَّةً He gave him a bond, or an obligation, whereby he became responsible for his safety: (S, K:) and اتلاهُ alone (T, M, K) signifies the same; (T;) he gave him what is termed تَلَا=ء , (M, K,) i. e. ذِمَّةً , (K,) or جِوَارًا , (M, K,) and meaning also an arrow on which was written his (the giver's) name, (K, * TA,) in order that, when he went to a tribe, he might show it to them, and they would not harm him: (TA:) and اتلاهُ سَهْمًا (assumed tropical:) he gave him an arrow whereby to demand protection, (M, K, TA,) in order that he might not be harmed: and اتلاهُ نَعْلًا he gave him a sandal for that purpose: (TA:) and it means (tropical:) he made him his تِلْو [or follower], and his companion.
