(JK.) -b2- اخلف البَازِلَ [ He (a camel) exceeded in age the بازل , which is generally one that has entered his ninth year: as though he made the بازل to be behind him: and so, app., اخلف alone; البَازِلَ being understood: see مُخْلِفٌ ]. El-Jaadee says, أَخْلَفَ البَازِلَ عَامًا أَوْ بَزَلْ أَيِّدِ الكَاهِلِ جَلْدٍ بَازِلٍ [ Strong in the withers, hardy, a بازل ; that has exceeded in age him who has just become a بازل by a year, or that has himself just become a بازل ].
