is a tumour in the vulva or anus, 
apparently denominative (compare II. עֹפֶל) see Assyrian uplu, probably tumour (Dl HWB 7 ublu, but see Jen ThLz 1895,250)); — Pu`al Perfect 3 feminine singular עֻמְּלָה Habakkuk 2:4 according to ᵑ0 (subject נַפְשׁוֺ, compare GASm); but substantive needed, Brd SK 1889,121 הַנֶּעֱלָף, We Now הָעַוָּל, compare Gu Kau. —

Pual, to be tumid, metaph. to be proud, haughty, Habakkuk 2:4.
Hiphil, to act tumidly, i.e. proudly, arrogantly. Numbers 14:44, וַיַּעְפִּילוּ לַעֲלֹות וגו׳ “but they acted arrogantly (i.e. neglecting the monition of God) in going up.” In Deuter. 1:43, the same is expressed וַתָּזִדוּ וַתַּעֲלוּ הָהָרָה. Hence
