What does this word mean?

What does "dala" or "dal" mean in Persian? Is that from Avesta?

Where did you encounter this word? I don't think there's any word like "dala" in Persian. The only thing close to "dal" I could think of is "daal" which means eagle (though it's not a common word).
Please correct my mistakes in any language.

"Del" maybe? That would mean "heart".

No no, it has nothing to do with del or dil which means heart. It is used to refer crowd, bunch of people, etc. but can't confirm this.

I may remember incorrectly the exact word. Can you link me Persian dictionary which is written in Latin alphabet? I'd like to see "d" section.

This dictionary has Latin transcriptions for each word. I've linked you to the beginning of "D" and you can use the Next Page function to continue from there.

Thanks a lot. The page you linked seems very useful. Could you link me Avesta dictionary?
