B-D-L – ‘action of separating, distinguishing, particularizing’

The verb springs from two contracted roots   בד–דל. By the first בד, should be understood every idea of individuality, of peculiarity, of isolation, of solitary existence: by the second דל, every kind of division, of opening, of disjunction. So that the verb here alluded to, signifies literally the action of particularizing, of isolating one from another, of making solution of things, distinguishing them, separating them. etc. (The Hebraic Tongue Restored, Fabré d’Olivet, p. 34)
