حَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) and شَعَرَهُ, (Ṣ, M, Mṣb,) aor. ـِ {يَحْلِقُ}, (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ,) inf. n. حَلْقٌ (Ṣ,* M, Mṣb, Ḳ) and حِلَاقٌ (Ṣ,* Mṣb, Ḳ *) and تَحْلَاقٌ, (Ṣ,* Ḳ,) He removed the hair of his head [with a razor, or shaved his head], (Ḳ,) [and he shaved off his hair;] as alsoاحتلقهُ↓; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) andحلّقهُ↓, (Ḳ,) inf. n. تَحْلِيقٌ: (TA:) or the latter verb has an intensive signification, (O, Mṣb,) and applies to many objects, (Ṣ, Mṣb,) as in the phrase, حَلَّقُوا رُؤُوسَهُمْ [they shaved their heads]: (Ṣ:) and you say also, حَلَقَ مَعْزَهُ [he shore his goats]; but not جَزَّ save in the case of sheep: (Ṣ:) [for] الحَلْقُ with respect to the hair of human beings and of goats is like الجَزُّ with respect to wool. (M, TA.) [Hence,] إِنَّ رَأْسَهُ لَجَيِّدُ الحِلَاقِ [Verily his head is well shaven]. (Ṣ, Ḳ.*) And يَوْمُ تَحْلَاق اللَّمَمِ [The day of the shaving off of the locks termed لمم]; which was a day fought by Teghlib (Ṣ, Ḳ) against Bekr Ibn-Wáïl; (Ṣ;) because their [i. e. Teghlib's] distinctive sign was shaving (الحَلْق), (Ṣ, Ḳ,) on that day. (Ṣ.)

عَقْرًا حَلْقًا, orعَقْرَى حَلْقَى↓, (Ṣ, Ḳ,*) is an expression occurring in a trad.: (Ṣ:) the latter is rare; or is an incorrect variation of the relaters of traditions: (Ḳ:) AʼObeyd says, it is عَقْرًا حَلْقًا, for which the relaters of traditions say عَقْرَى حَلْقَى↓; and the original form and meaning is عَقَرَهَا ٱللّٰهُ وَحَلَقَهَا, (Ṣ,) or عَقَرَهَا ٱللّٰهُ عَقْرًا وَحَلَقَهَا حَلْقًا, (TA,) i. e., [accord. to AʼObeyd,] May God wound her body, and afflict her with pain in her حَلْق [or fauces]: (Ṣ, Ḳ:*) but this explanation is not valid: accord. to the T, it is a form of imprecation uttered against a woman, [not in earnest, though denoting a degree of displeasure,] meaning may she be bereft of her husband, or became a widow, so that she shall shave off her hair: and Az says thatحَلْقَى↓ عَقْرَى means she is unlucky [to others] and annoying: ISd says, it is said to mean she is unlucky [to others]; but I am not sure of it. (TA.) Accord. to Aboo-Naṣr (Ṣ, TA) Aḥmad Ibn-Ḥátim, (Ṣ,) one says on the occasion of an event at which one wonders, خَمْشَى عَقْرَى حَلْقَى↓, as though [meaning May she who has occasioned this, scratch and wound her face, and shave off her hair:] from الحَلْقُ [the act of shaving] and العَقْرُ [the act of wounding] and الخَمْشُ syn. with الخَدْشُ [the act of scratching]: (Ṣ, TA:*) and he cites this verse:

*أَلَا قَوْمِى أُولُو عَقْرَى وَحَلْقَى↓ *

* لِمَا لَا قَتْ سَلَامَانُ بْنُ غَنْمِ *

(TA, and so in some copies of the Ṣ,) meaning [Now surely] my people have women who have wounded and scratched their faces and shaven off their hair [on account of what the tribe of Selámán Ibn-Ghanm has experienced]: so, says IB, IḲṭṭ relates this verse, and so Hr in the Ghareebeyn: but ISk, thus:

* أَلَا قَوْمِى إِلَى عَقْرَى وَحَلْقَى *

[and so I find it in one copy of the Ṣ:] and IJ explains it by saying that عقرى وحلقى originally denotes the case of a woman who, when some one honourable in her estimation has been smitten, or wounded, takes a pair of sandals, and beats with them her head, and wounds or scratches it, and shaves off her hair; and the poet means, my people have come to the condition of wounded, or scratched, and shaven, women. (TA.) [Fei says,] حَلْقًا لَهُ وَعَقْرًا is a form of imprecation, meaning May God afflict him with pain in his حَلْق [or fauces], and wound his body: but the relaters of traditions sayحَلْقَى↓ عَقْرَى, with the fem. alif, making them act. part. ns.; [the former meaning, accord. to one of the explanations given above, an unlucky woman to others, though this is doubtful; and] the latter meaning a woman annoying her people: (Mṣb:) or both these words are inf. ns., like دَعْوَى. (TA in art. عقر. [See more in that art.])

They said also, بَيْنَهُمُ ٱحْلِقِى وَقُومِى [Among them is heard the saying, Shave, O woman, and arise]; i. e. among them is trial, or trouble, and distress, affliction, calamity, or adversity: and يُوْمُ ٱحْلِقِى وَقُومِى [A day of the saying Shave,, &c.; i. e., of trial,, &c.]. (TA.)
