(ISd, TA.) And لَهُ ↓ تذلّل He became lowly, humble, or submissive, [or he lowered, humbled, or submitted, himself,] to him; (S, TA;) as also تَذَلَّى, originally تَذَلَّلَ. (TA.) b3:  [Hence,] ذَلَّ is also said of a road [as meaning (assumed tropical:)  It was, or became, beaten, or trodden, so as to be rendered even, or easy to be travelled, or to walk or ride upon: see ذَلِيلٌ]. (A in art. تب.) b4:  And ذَلَّتِ القَوَا فِى لِشَّاعِرِ (assumed tropical:)  The rhymes were easy to the poet.

(TA in art. سوس.) b4:  And ذِلِّلَ الكَرْمُ (assumed tropical:)  The bunches of the grape-vine were made to hang down [so that they might be easily plucked]: (M, K:) or were evenly disposed [for the same purpose]; syn. سُوِّيَتْ: (K:) or, accord. to AHn, التَّذْلِيلُ signifies the disposing evenly the bunches of the grape-vine, and making them to hang down. (M.) وَذُلِّلَتْ قُطُوفُهَا, in the Kur [lxxvi. 14], means (assumed tropical:)  The bunches being evenly disposed, and made to hang down, (S, JM,) exposed to be plucked: (JM:) or being well disposed, and made near: (IAmb, TA:) or being within the reach of the seeker, or desirer: (Ibn-'Arafeh, TA:) or being easy to reach by those who will pluck them, in whatever manner they may desire to do so: (Bd:) accord. to Mujáhid, it means that if one stand, the bunch will rise to him; and if one sit, it will hang down to him. (TA.) [In like manner,] التَّذْلِيلُ also signifies (assumed tropical:)  The putting the raceme of the palm-tree upon the branch [near it] in order that it [the branch] may support it: (AHn, M:) or تَذْلِيلُ العُذُوقِ, as practised in the present world, is (assumed tropical:)  the trimmer's making straight, and fecundating before the usual time, the racemes of the palm-tree, when they come forth from their spathes that covered them, these having slit open and disclosed them, by which means one makes them to hang out from among the branches and prickles, so that the fruit is easily plucked when it ripens. (T. [See also مُذَلَّلٌ.]) [Hence it is said in the K that ذُلِّلَ النَّخْلُ signifies وُضِعَ عِذْقُهَا عَلَى الجَرِيدَةِ لِتَحْمِلَهُ: the explanation should be وُضِعَتْ عُذُوقُهَا عَلَى الجَرِيدِ لِتَحْمِلَهَا, i. e. (assumed tropical:)  The palm-trees had their racemes put upon the branches in order that these might support them.] b5:  See also what next follows.4 اذلّهُ, (M, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِذْلَالٌ, (TA,) He (God, Msb) lowered, abased, or humbled, him; or rendered him low, base, vile, abject, mean, paltry, contemptible, despicable, ignominious, inglorious, abased, humbled, and weak; (M, * Msb K, TA;) as also ↓ ذللّٰهُ and ↓ استذلّهُ: (K, TA:) all these signify the same.

(S, M, K.) b2:  He became in a state, or condition, that was low, base, vile, &c. (S in art. قهر.) 5 تَذَلَّّ see 1.10 استذلّهُ He saw him to be ذَلِيل [i. e. low, base, vile, &c.]: (M, K:) or he found him to be so; (TA;) as also ↓ اذّلهُ.

(K.) اذْلَوْلَى, a verb of which one of the significations is mentioned in this art. in the K, belongs to art. ذلى.] R. Q. 2 تَذَلْذَلَ [app. from ذُلْذُلٌ] It was, or became, in a state of commotion, or agitation, and lax, slack, or pendulous. (K.) ذُلٌّ and ↓ ذِلَّةٌ and ↓ مَذَلَّةٌ [all mentioned in the M and MA and K as inf. ns.] contr. of عِزٌّ; (S, M;) [i. e.] Lowness, baseness, vileness, abjectness, meanness, paltriness, contemptibleness, despicableness, ignominiousness, ingloriousness, abasement, humiliation, and weakness.

(TA.) See also ذَلِيلٌ. b2:  And see the paragraph here following, in five places.ذِلٌّ Easiness, tractableness, submissiveness, or manageableness; (S, M, K, and Ham p. 50; [mentioned in the M and Msb and K as an inf. n.;]) as also ↓ ذُلٌّ. (M, K, and Ham ubi suprà.) Hence the saying, بَعْضُ الذِّلِّ أَبْقَى لِلْأَهْلِ وَالمَالِ [Somewhat of submissiveness is most preservative of the family and the property]: (S:) or أَبْقَى لِلْأَهْلِ وَالمَالِ ↓ الذُّلُّ, occurring in a trad. of Ibn-Ez-Zubeyr; meaning that abjectness betiding a man when he bears patiently an injury that has befallen him is most preservative of him and of his family and his property. (TA.) b2: Also Gentleness; and mercy; and so ↓ ذُلٌّ: thus in the phrase, ↓ وَاخْفِضْ لَهُمَا جَنَاحَ الذُّلِّ or الذِّلِّ, (M, K,) in the Kur [xvii. 25, lit. And make soft to them (thy two parents) the side of gentleness; meaning treat them with gentleness]: the former is the common reading: (TA:) or the latter means easiness, tractableness, or submissiveness: (K:) [and so the former, as has been stated above:] Er-Rághib says that ↓ الذُّلُّ is a consequence of subjection; and الذِّلُّ is what is after refractoriness: so that the phrase means, [accord. to the former reading,] be gentle like him who is subjected to them; and accord. to the latter reading, be gentle and tractable, or submissive, to them. (TA.) A2: Also The beaten track, (K,) or part that is trodden and made even, (M,) of a road. (M, K.) Its pl. أَذْلَال occurs in the saying, أَجْرِ الأُمُورَعَلَى أَذْلَالِهَا Let events, or affairs, take their course in the ways, or manners, that are fit, or proper, for them, and easy. (T.) El-Khansà says, لِتَجْرِ المَنِيَّةِ بَعْدَ الفَتَى الْمُغَادَرِ بِالْمَحْوِ أَذْلَالَهَا [Let fate take its ways after the youth left behind in El-Mahw]; (S, M;) meaning I mourn not for any thing after him: cited by AA: (S in the present art. and in art. محو:) المحو is here the name of a place. (S in the latter art.)

(M, K.) And ↓ دَعْهُ عَلَى أَذْلَالِهِ Leave thou him, or it, in his, or its, [present] state, or condition: (S, M, K:) in this case it has no sing. (M, K.) [And so in the saying,] ↓ جَآءَ عَلَى أَذْلَالِهِ It came in its [proper] manner. (S, K.) b2:  See also another usage of أَذْلَال, as a pl. having no sing. assigned to it, voce ذُلْذُلٌ, last sentence.ذِلَّةٌ: see ذُلٌّ. b2:  In the following verse,

صَنَابِرُ أُحْدَانٌ لِهُنَّ حَفِيفُ [May my heritage give joy to a man not low, or base; slender arrows, singular of their kind, that have a whizzing sound], the meaning is, غَيْرِ ذَلِيلٍ, or غَيْرِ ذِى ذِلَّةٍ; and صنابر is put in the nom. case as a substitute for تراث. (M.) ذَلُولٌ Easy, tractable, submissive, or manageable; (S, M, Msb, K;) applied to a beast, such as a horse and the like, (دَابَّة), (S, M, Msb,) and to a man [&c.]; (M;) and so ↓ ذَلُولِىٌّ, applied to a man: (TA, as from the M: [but not found by me in the latter; and I believe that the right reading is ذَلَوْلًى, belonging to art. ذلى, q. v.:]) the former alike masc. and fem.: (M, TA:) pl. ذُلُلٌ (S, M, Msb, K) and أَذِلَّةٌ. (K.) A poet applies the epithet ذُلُل to spear-heads, as meaning Made easy [to pierce with] by being sharpened, and made thin and slender.

(M, K.) b2:  [Also Gentle; and merciful. Hence,] أَذِلَّةٍ عَلَى المُؤْمِنِينَ أَعِزَّةٍ عَلَى الكَافِرينَ, in the Kur [v. 59], means Gentle, (Zj, T,) and merciful, (T,) to the believers, rough in behaviour, (Zj, T,) and hard, or severe, (T,) to the unbelievers.

[as meaning easy to be travelled, or to walk or ride upon, &c.].

(T.) b5:  You say also ذَلِيلٌ ↓ ذُلٌّ, [meaning Exceeding lowness or baseness &c.; or lowering, or abasing, lowness or baseness &c.; i. e.,] using the latter word as an intensive epithet; or as signifying مُذِلٌّ. (M, K.) ذَلُولِىٌّ Good and easy in respect of natural disposition: pl. ذَلُولِيُّونَ. (Ibn-' Abbád, K. [In the CK, الخَلْقِ is erroneously put for الخُلُقِ.]) See also ذَلُولٌ.ذُلَّانٌ: see ذَلِيلٌ.ذُلْذُلٌ is sing. of ذَلَاذِلُ, which signifies The lower, or lowest, parts, (Az, T, S,) that are next the ground, of a shirt, (S,) or of a long shirt; (Az, T;) and IAar says that the sing. is ↓ ذُلَذِلٌ, and ↓ ذِلْذِلَةٌ, also; and they are also called ذَنَاذِنُ, pl. of ذِنْذِنٌ; (T;) and دَنَادِنُ: (K in art. دن:) or ذُلْذُلٌ and ↓ ذِلْذِلٌ and ↓ ذِلْذِلَةٌ and ↓ ذُلَذِلٌ and ↓ ذُلَذِلَةٌ all signify the lower, or lowest, parts of a long shirt (M, K) when it dangles and becomes old and worn out; (M;) as also ذَلَاذِلُ; (K;) [or rather] this last is pl. of all the foregoing words; (M;) and ↓ ذَلَذِلُ and ↓ ذَلَذِلَةٌ [in some copies of the K, erroneously, ذَلْذَل, or ذَلْذُل, and ذَلْذَلَة,] signify the same; (K;) [or rather] the former of these two is a contraction of the pl. ذَلَاذِلُ (S, M) [and the latter of them is the same contracted pl. with the addition of ة]. b2:  [Hence,] ذَلَاذِلُ النَّاسِ (assumed tropical:)  Those who are the last of the people; (K;) or the last of a few of the people; so in the Moheet; (TA;) and ↓ ذُلْذُلَانُهُمْ and ↓ ذُلَيْذِلَانُهُمْ, (K, TA, [in the CK, erroneously, ذُلْذُلاتُهُمْ and ذُلِيذَلاتُهُمْ,]) the latter a dim., (TA,) and ↓ أَذْلَالُهُمْ, signify the same: (K:) or this last signifies the lower, baser, viler, or meaner, of them.
