(Msb, TA.) b2:  لَمْ يَحْلَ مِنْهُ بِطَائِلٍ He gained not, or derived not, from him, or it, any great profit, advantage, or benefit: the verb is not used in this sense except in nega tive phrases; (S, TA;) and is from الحَلْىُ and الحِلْيَةُ; because the mind reckons an ornament as an acquisition: not from حلو. (TA.) [But an affirmative phrase, with the verb حَلِىَ used in a similar sense, is mentioned in the K in art. حلو: see 1 in that art.
