رنّق, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) inf. n. تَرْنِيقٌ, (IAạr, Ṣ,) He rendered water turbid, thick, or muddy; (IAạr, Ṣ, Ḳ;) as alsoارنق↓. (Ṣ, Ḳ.)

And the former, He cleared it; rendered it clear: thus it bears two contr. significations. (IAạr, Ḳ.) [Hence,] one says, رنّق ٱللّٰهُ قَذَاتَكَ May God clear away thy قذاة [or mote in the eye; probably meaning † that which annoys thee]. (IAạr, Ḳ)

Also, as an intrans. verb, He was, or became, confounded, or perplexed, and unable to see his right course. (TA.) And تَرْنِيقٌ signifies A man's standing, not knowing whether to go or come. (TA.) And The being weak, or infirm, [and, app., disordered, or perturbed,] in sight, and in body, and in an affair or case. (Ṣ, Ḳ.)

Also He paused and waited. (TA.) [Hence the saying,] رَمَّدَتِ المِعْزَى فَرَنِّقْ رَنِّقْ, (JK, Ṣ, Ḳ,) i. e. The she-goats have secreted milk in their udders; (JK;) but wait thou, wait thou, (JK, Ṣ, TA,) for their bringing forth, (Ṣ, TA,) for they show signs, but do not bring forth until after some time: (Ṣ:) thou wilt have to wait long for them: (TA:) sometimes it is said with م [in the place of ن], and also with د [in the place of ر]: (Ṣ, TA:) it is mentioned in art. ربق [q. v.]. (Ḳ. [See also art. رمق.])

Also He continued looking; (Ṣ, Ḳ, TA, in this art. and in art. رمق;) like رمّق. (Ṣ and TA in the same two arts.) And you say also, رنّق إِلَيْهِ النَّظُرَ and دنّق [meaning He continued looking at it]. (Ṣ in art. دنق.) And رنّق النَّظَرَ meaning [He looked covertly, or clandestinely; or] he concealed the looking. (TA.)

(TA.) Hence, said of a captive, He stretched out his neck on the occasion of slaughter, like the bird expanding his wings. (TA.)

تَرْنِيقٌ also signifies The breaking of the wing of a bird by a shot or throw, or by disease, so that he, or it, falls. (Lth, Ḳ.) [You say of the bird رُنِّقَ or رُنِّقَ جَنَاحُهُ His wing was broken, &c. See the pass. part. n., below.]
