Dictionary Arabic-English Lexicon by Edward William Lane (d. 1876)

Entry نيل

1 نَالَ مِنْهُ He defamed him. (L, art. قبح.)

نَالَ مِنْ عِرْضِهِ He defamed him. (T, K, TA.)

نَال مِنْهُ He harmed, hurt, or injured him, namely, an enemy. (Mgh.)

نَالَهُ بِلِسَانِهِ is coupled in the Msb, art. قرص, with أَذَاهُ; and seems plainly to signify أَصاَبَهُ, which, in this case, is the same as أَذَاهُ. And ↓ تَنَاوَلَهُ has a similar meaning.

نَالَ He obtained, or attained. (S, K.) نَالَ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِ He attained [or obtained] the object of his aim, or desire, from his enemy. (Msb.)

نَالَهُ, aor. يَنَالُ, It reached him; came to him; syn. وَصَلَ إِلَيْهِ. (M, art. نيل.) See also Bd, xxii. 38.

نَالَ لَكَ أَنْ نَفْعَلَ, aor. يَنِيلُ; and لَكَ ↓ أَنَالَ: see أَنَى.

نَالَهُ, first. pers. نِلْتَهُ, inf. n. نَيْلٌ, He obtained it; he attained it; namely, the object of his wish, &c. (S, K, Msb, &c.) 4 أَنْيَلَ see 1.

6 هُمَا يَتَنَايَلَانِ and يَتَنَاوَلاَنِ signify the same. (TA.) نَيْلٌ Obtainment; &c.: see 1. إِنَانَةٌ The act of giving: (PS in art. نيل;) the giving a gift. (KL.) It seems properly to belong to art. نول. نَيْلٌ (T, M, K) and ↓ نَائِلٌ (M, K) What one obtains, or acquires, (T, M, K,) of the bounty of another; like نَوَالَ. (T.) نياج See art. نلج.

E.W. Lane's Arabic-English Lexicon (8 parts, London, 1863-93) is a major Arabic-English dictionary based on 112 sources, mostly medieval ones, along with al-Zabidi's Taj al-Aroos (also included in Lisaan.net). Lane died before he could finish the work, his great-nephew Stanley Lane-Poole finished it, publishing Volumes VI, VII and VIII from 1877–1893 using Lane's incomplete notes. Lane-Pool's work is of lower quality than Lane's. The work of Reinhart Dozy (see below) was meant as a supplement to Lane's work that covers modern Arabic (Lane focused on classical Arabic only). The digital text for the Lexicon was sourced from Tufts University under a Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 United States License. We used a TXT version created by an internet user named Navid-ul-Islam. Lisaan.net's version of the Lane Lexicon corrects various errors from both the Persues project (such as erroneous transcriptions of the Persian letter ژ) and the TXT version. Lisaan.net's version also provides helpful automatic annotations on the various abbreviations used by Lane.
