He went a kind of trotting pace, between a walk and a run]; (S, Mgh, Msb, K; [in the M said to be “ less than المَشْىُ and above العَدْوُ; ” app., as is remarked in the TT, through inadvertence of a writer;]) i. e. (TA) he was quick in his manner of walking, (T, TA,) and shook his shoulder-joints, (TA,) leaping, (so in the T accord. to the TT,) or not leaping, (so in the TA,) in doing so; (T, TA;) while performing the circuitings round the Kaabeh, (T, Mgh, TA,) but only in some of those circuitings, exclusively of others, (TA,) which one does in imitation of the Prophet and his Companions, who did thus in order that the people of Mekkeh might know that there was in them strength; (T, TA;) and in going between Es-Safà and El-Marweh.

[See also 4 and 5.]) ― -b3- In relation to speech, or language, (TA,) التَّرْمِيلُ signifies (tropical:) i. q. التَّزْيِيفُ; (K, TA; [in the CK, erroneously, التَّرْنِيفُ;]) i. e., [as inf. n. of رَمَّلَ, The adulterating it, corrupting it, or rendering it unsound, or untrue; and as inf. n. of رُمِّلَ,] its being [adulterated, corrupted, or] unsound, or untrue.

(K, * TA. [In the TT, as from the M, اتخذوه is erroneously put for أَنْفَدُوهُ, the explanation in the TA.]) ― -b4- And [hence,] ارملت, (Yz, T, S, Msb,) or, accord. to Sh, ارملت مِنْ زَوْجِهَا, or من زوجها ↓ رَمِلَتٌ; (T, accord. to different copies;) and ↓ رَمَّلَتْ [alone], (K, TA, [said in the latter to be on the authority of Sh, and therefore it may perhaps be taken from a copy of the T,]) inf. n. تَرْمِيلٌ; (TA;) (tropical:) She (a woman) became such as is termed أَرْمَلَةٌ, (T, Msb, K, TA,) i. e. without a husband; (T, Msb;) because of her being in need of one to expend upon her; [for] Az says that she is not thus called unless she be also poor: (Msb:) or [she became a widow;] she lost her husband by his death. (S.) ― -b5- And ارمل said of an arrow, It became defiled, or smeared, with blood, (Ibn- 'Abbád, K, TA,) and had the mark thereof remaining upon it; (Ibn-'Abbád, TA;) and so ↓ ارتمل. (TA.

It is said in a trad., of the Prophet, that he was lying upon his side on the رمال of a mat, which had made an impression upon his side: (T, TA: *) or, as some relate it, of a couch; meaning, in this case, that its face was woven of palm-leaves, and that it had nothing spread upon it to lie upon, but the mat only.
