*عَلِقَتْ مَعَالِقَهَا↓ وَصَرَّ الجُنْدَبُ *

(Ṣ, O, Ḳ, [in the CK, erroneously, مُعالِقَها,]) [It (the bucket, الدَّلْوُ, Z, TA) has become suspended in its places of suspension, and the جندب (accord. to the Ṣ and Ḳ a species of locust) has creaked]: originating from the fact that a man went to a well, and suspended his well-rope to the rope thereof, and then went to the owner of the well, and claimed to be his neighbour [and therefore to have a right to the use of the well]; but the owner refused his assent, and ordered him to depart; whereupon he uttered these words, meaning The heat has come, [see صَرَّ الجُنْدَبُ in art. جدب,] and I am not able to depart. (Ṣ, O. [See more in Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 91.]) And one says, عَلِقَ الشَّوْكُ بِالثَّوْبِ, aor. ـَ {يَعْلَقُ}, inf. n. عَلَقٌ; andتعلّق↓ بِهِ; meaning The thorns clung, caught,, &c., to the garment. (Mṣb.)

(Mṣb.)

[The primary significations are those mentioned above in the first sentence: and hence several other significations here following.]

[عَلِقَ عَلَى كَذَا andتعلّق↓ عَلَيْهِ It depended upon such a thing, as a condition.]

[عَلِقَ بِهِ andتعلّق↓ It pertained to him, or it: it concerned him, or it. And He had a hold upon it: he had a concern in it.]

* عُلِّقْتُهَا عَرَضًا وَعُلِّقَتْ رَجُلًا *

* غَيْرِى وَعُلِّقَ أُخْرَى غَيْرَهَا الرَّجُلُ *

[I became attached to her accidentally, and she became attached to a man other than me, and the man became attached to another female, other than her]. (Ṣ, O. [See also another ex., in a verse of 'Antarah, cited voce زَعَمَ.]) [See also عَلَقٌ, below.]

قَدْ عَلِقَ الكِبَرُ مَعَالِقَهُ↓ [app. meaning Old age has taken hold in its holding places, or, agreeably with what is said in the next sentence, has had its effects], in which معالق is pl. of مَعْلَقٌ, is said to an old man. (TA.) And of everything that has had its effect [so I here render وَقَعَ مَوْقِعَهُ, but see art. وقع], one says,عَلِقَ مَعَالِقَهُ↓. (TA, and Ḥam p. 172.)

عَلِقَتْ مَرَاسِيهَا بِذِى رَمْرَامٍ [Their anchors have clung to a place having the species of herbage called رمرام, meaning they are abiding therein, (see مِرْسَاةٌ, in art. رسو,)] is said of camels when they are at rest, or at ease, and their eyes are refreshed by the pasturage; and is a prov., applied to persons in the like condition by reason of their means of subsistence. (TA.)

عَلِقَ بِهِ, inf. n. عَلَقٌ, He contended with him in an altercation [as though clinging to him]; disputed with him; or litigated with him. (TA.)

عَلِقَ يَفْعَلُ كَذَا He set about, began, or betook himself to, doing such a thing. (Ṣ, O, Ḳ.) فَعَلِقُوا وَجْهَهُ ضَرْبًا occurs in a trad., meaning They set about, or betook themselves to, smiting his face. (TA.) And a rájiz says,

* عَلِقَ حَوْضِى نُغَرٌ مُكِبُّ *

[Nughar (a species of birds) bending down their heads] betook themselves to coming for the purpose of drinking to my حوض [or watering-trough]: or, as some say, liked it, and frequented it. (Ṣ, O.)

And مَا عَلِقْتُ أَقْولُهُ means I did not cease saying it; like ما نَشِبْتُ. (A in art. نشب.) [Thus عَلِقَ has two contr. meanings.]

عَلِقَتِ الإِبِلُ العِضَاهَ, (Ṣ, O, Ḳ,) aor. ـَ {يَعْلَقُ}; (Ḳ;) and عَلَقَت likewise, aor. ـُ {يَعْلُقُ}; (Ṣ, O, Ḳ;) inf. n. عَلْقٌ; (Ṣ, O, Ḳ;*) The camels fed upon the upper, or uppermost, portions of the [trees called] عضاه, (Ṣ, O, Ḳ,) reaching them with their mouths: (Ṣ and O in explanation of the latter verb:) and يَعْلَقُ العِضَاهَ, said of a camel, he plucks from the عضاه, [as though] hanging from it, by reason of his tallness: (Ṣ: in one of my copies of the Ṣ, and in the TA, يَعْلُقُ:) or one says, of camels, عَلَقَتْ مِنَ الشَّجَرِ, aor. ـُ {يَعْلُقُ}, inf. n. عَلْقٌ and عُلُوقٌ, meaning they ate of the trees with their mouths: and عَلِقَتْ فِى الوَادِى, aor. ـَ {يَعْلَقُ}, they pastured, or pastured where they pleased, in the valley: (Mṣb:) accord. to Lḥ, عَلَقَتْ, aor. ـُ {يَعْلُقُ}, inf. n. عَلْقٌ, said of beasts, means they ate the leaves of the trees: and accord. to Aṣ, عَلَقَتْ, aor. ـُ {يَعْلُقُ}, inf. n. عُلُوقٌ, means they reached and took with their mouths. (TA.) Hence, (TA,) it is said in a trad., أَرْوَاحُ الشُّهَدَآءِ فِى حَوَاصِلِ طَيْرٍ خُضْرٍ تَعْلُقُ مِنْ وَرَقِ الجَنَّةِ, (Ṣ, Mṣb,*) or مِنْ ثِمَارِ الجَنَّةِ, (TA,) and, as some relate it, تَعْلَقُ, (Mṣb, TA,) [both as meaning The souls of the martyrs are in the crops of green birds that eat of the leaves, or fruits, of Paradise,] but the former relation is that which should be followed, because the latter requires that one should say فِى ورق الجنّة [or فى ثمار الجنّة], though the latter is said to be the more common. (Mṣb.) One says also, عَلِقَتِ الإِبِلُ, aor. ـَ {يَعْلَقُ}, inf. n. عَلَقٌ, meaning The camels ate of the عُلْقَة of the trees, i. e., of the trees that remain in the winter and of which the camels are fed until they attain to the رَبِيع [meaning spring, or springherbage]; as alsoتعلّقت↓. (TA.) And عَلَقَ, inf. n. عَلَاقٌ and عُلُوقٌ, He ate. (TA.) And الصَّبِىُّ يَعْلُقُ The child sucks his fingers. (TA.)

عَلَقَهُ بِلِسَانِهِ [inf. n. عَلْقٌ] He blamed, or censured, him; he said to him that which he disliked, or hated. (Lḥ, Ḳ,* TA.)

عَلِقَ أَمْرَهُ He knew his affair. (Ḳ.)

عَلِقَتِ المَرْأَةُ, (Ṣ, Mgh, O, Ḳ,) inf. n. عُلُوقٌ, (Mgh,) or عَلَقٌ, (TA,) The woman conceived, or became pregnant. (Ṣ, Mgh, O, Ḳ.) Hence the saying, الغِرَاسُ تَبَدَّلُ بِالعُلُوقِ ‡ [The set, or shoot that is planted, becomes changed by pullulating]; a metaphorical phrase; meaning that what is planted becomes changed because it increases and rises when it clings to the earth and germinates. (Mgh.)

عَلِقَتِ الدَّابَّةُ The beast drank water and the leech (العَلَقَةُ) clave to it: (Ṣ, O, Ḳ:) or, accord. to an explanation of [the part. n.] مَعْلُوقٌ by Lth, one says عُلِقَت, of the form of that whereof the agent is not named, meaning it had leeches (عَلَق) that had taken hold upon its fauces when it drank: (O:) or عُلِقَ, also, like عُنِىَ, is used in this sense, (Ḳ,* TA,) said of a man and of a beast. (TA.)

عَالَقْتُ فُلَانًا فَعَلَقْتُهُ: see 3.

You say, علّق الشَّىْءَ بِالشَّىْءِ, (Mgh, Mṣb, Ḳ,) inf. n. as above, He hung, or suspended, the thing to the thing; and so مِنَ الشَّىْءِ, and عَلَيْهِ: (TA:) [and] he made the thing to cling, catch, cleave, adhere, hold, or stick fast, to the thing; as alsoاعلقهُ↓ بِهِ. (Mṣb.) [For ex.,] one says, عَلَّقْتُ رِشَائِى بِرِشَائِكَ [I have suspended my well-rope to thy well-rope]: andأَعْلَقَ↓ رِشَآءَهُ بِرِشَآءِ البِئْرِ [He suspended his well-rope to the rope of the well]. (Ṣ, O.) [See also an ex. of the latter verb in a verse cited voce رَافِضٌ.] And علّقهُ عَلَى الوَتِدِ [He hung it on the peg]: and in like manner, علّق الشَّىْءَ خَلْفَهُ [He hung the thing behind him]; as, for instance, a حَقِيبَة, &c., behind the camel's saddle.

Andاعلق↓ بِالغَرْبِ بَعِيرَيْنِ He coupled two camels to the end of the well-rope [to the other end of which was attached the large bucket]. (IF, Ḳ.) [And in like manner they say in the present day, علّق الخَيْلَ فِى العَرَبَةِ He harnessed, or attached, the horses to the carriage.] Andاعلق↓ أَظْفَارَهُ فِى الشَّىْءِ He made his nails to cling, catch, or cleave, to the thing. (Ṣ, TA.) And [in like manner,] علّق يَدَهُ andاعلقها↓ [He made his hands to cling,, &c.], followed by فى before the object: both signify the same. (TA.) And علّق الدَّابَّةَ, meaning علّق عَلَيْهَا [for علّق عليها المِخْلَاةَ, agreeably with modern usage, i. e. He hung upon the beast the nose-bag containing barley, or the like; or he supplied the beast with عَلِيق, which means barley, or the like, that is hung upon the beast]. (TA.) [And hence, as is indicated in the T and TA, علّق signifies, by a metaphor, ‡ He supplied with عَلِيق as meaning wine.] And علّق رَاحِلَتَهُ He loosed the halter, or leading-rope, from the muzzle of his riding-camel and threw it [or hung it] upon her shoulders, to give her ease. (TA.)

[The primary significations are those mentioned in the second sentence of this paragraph: and hence several other significations here following.]

[علّقهُ بِكَذَا, and عَلَى كَذَا, He made it to depend upon such a thing, as a condition.] You say, عَلَّقْتُ عِتْقَ عَبْدِى بِمَوْتِى [I made the freedom of my slave to depend upon my death]. (TA in art. دبر.)

إِنْ أَنْطِقْ أُطَلَّقْ وَإِنْ أَسْكُتْ أُعَلَّقْ, in the story of Umm-Zarạ, means [If I speak, I am divorced; and if I be silent, I am left in suspense, i. e.,] he leaves me like that which is suspended, (O, TA,) neither retained nor divorced. (TA.) [And similar to this is the phrase تَعْلِيقُ أَفْعَالِ القُلُوبِ The suspending of the verbs significant of operations of the mind from government, as to the letter but not as to the meaning:] see مُعَلَّقٌ.

[علّق البِنَآءَ He made the building, or structure, pensile, i. e. supported above the ground, or above a stage or floor, by pillars or piers or otherwise. Hence,] the saying نَقَبُوا الحَائِطَ وَعَلَّقُوهُ means They dug beneath the wall [or made a hole through it] and left it [or rendered it] مُعَلَّقًا [i. e. pensile, or supported above the ground, being partially hollowed beneath]. (Mgh.)

* اِرْضَ مِنَ المَرْكَبِ بِالتَّعْلِيقِ *

is a prov., said to a man who is thereby enjoined to be content with a part of that which he wants, instead of the whole thereof; like him who rides the camel termed عَلِيقَة one time after another time: [so that it means Be thou content, instead of the riding constantly, or instead of the beast that is ridden only, with the sending a camel to bring corn, upon which thou mayest ride occasionally:] (TA:) or the meaning may be, be thou content, instead of thy riding, with the hanging of thy goods upon the beast: or the meaning may be, be thou content, in respect of the beast that is ridden, with the hanging [thy goods] upon him in thy turn. (Meyd.)

And one says, عَلِّقْ لِنَاقَتِكِ, meaning Go thou from thy she-camel (اِمْشِ عَنْهَا). (O.)

إِبِل لَيْسَ بِهَا علِقَةٌ is a phrase mentioned by Ibn-ʼAbbád, (O, TA,) as meaning [app.] اصرة. (TA. [This word, in the TA, is blurred: and in the O, the place that it occupied has perished: I think that it is most probably أَصِرَّةٌ, pl. of صِرَارٌ; and therefore that the phrase means Camels not having upon them strings, or pieces of rag, bound upon their udders or teats, to prevent their young ones from sucking: for one says صَرَّ بِالنَّاقَةِ as well as صَرَّ النَّاقَةَ; and in like manner, I suppose, one may say لَيْسَ بِهَا أَصِرَّةٌ: and hence, perhaps, it may mean not having milk: see the phrase مَا بِالنَّاقَةِ عَلُوقٌ.])

[For the phrase اِسْتَأْصَلَ ٱللّٰهُ عِلْقَاتَهُمْ, see the next paragraph but one.]

عَلْقَى, (Ṣ, O, Ḳ,) like سَكْرَى, (Ḳ,) A certain plant: (Ṣ, O, Ḳ:) accord. to Sb, (Ṣ, O,) it is used as sing. and pl.; (Ṣ, O, Ḳ;) and its alif [written ى] is to denote the fem. gender, therefore it is without tenween: but others say that its alif is to render it quasi-coordinate [to the quadriliteral-radical class], and is with tenween, the n. un. being عَلْقَاةٌ: (Ṣ, O:) IJ says that the alif in عَلْقَاةٌ is not to denote the fem. gender, because it is followed by ة; but when they elide the ة, they say عَلْقَى, without tenween: (L, TA: [in both of which, more is added, but with some mistranscription or omission rendering it inconsistent:]) its twigs are slender, difficult to be broken, and brooms are made of it: (Ḳ: [but this is taken from what here follows:]) Aboo-Naṣr says, the علقى is a tree [or plant] of which the greenness continues during the hot season, and its places of growth are the sands, and the plain, or soft, tracts: and he says, an Arab of the desert showed me a plant which he asserted to be the علقى; having long and slender twigs, and delicate leaves; called in Pers. خُلْوَام [?]; those who collect [the dung used for fuel called] جَلَّة make of it brooms for that purpose: to which he adds, and it is said, on the authority of the early Arabs, that the علقاة is a certain tree [or plant] which is found in the sands, green, having leaves, but in which is no good: (O:) [it is said, however, that] the decoction thereof is drunk for the dropsy. (Ḳ.)

عِلْقَاتَهُمْ, (O, Ḳ,) like سِعْلَاتَهُمْ, (O,) in the saying اِسْتَأْصَلَ ٱللّٰهُ عِلْقضاتَهُمْ, (O, Ḳ,* [in the CK عَلْقاتَهُمْ,]) is a dial. var. of عِرْقَاتَهُمْ, (Ḳ, [in the CK عَرْقاتَهُمْ,]) [and] is said by Ibn-ʼAbbád to mean أَصْلَهُمْ [i. e. May God utterly destroy their race, stock, or family]: but some say that it is a pl. of العِلْقُ signifying “that which is precious, or held in high estimation:” and in one dial. it is [عِلْقَاتِهِمْ,] with kesr to the ت. (O.)

عَلَاقِ [an imperative verbal noun], like نَزَالِ, &c., (IDrd, O, Ḳ,*) means تَعَلَّقْ, (Ḳ,) or تَعَلَّقْ بِهِ [i. e. Cling thou, cleave thou, or stick thou fast, to him, or it]. (IDrd, O.)

عِلَاقٌ A thing that is hung, or suspended, like the عُوذَة [or amulet]. (TA voce مَعْذُورٌ as an epithet applied to a child affected with the pain, of the fauces, termed عُذْرَة.)

عَلُوقٌ A thing that clings, cleaves, or sticks fast, (يَعْلَقُ, [in the CK تَعَلَّقَ,]) to a man. (Ṣ, O, Ḳ.)

And [hence,] Death, or the decree of death; syn. مَنِيَّةٌ; (Ṣ, O, Ḳ;) as alsoعَلَّاقَةٌ↓, (Ṣ, TA,) accord. to the Ḳ, erroneously, عَلَاقَة [without teshdeed]: in a verse in which it occurs, some explain العَلَّاقَةُ as meaning thus; and some, as meaning the serpent, because of its clinging. (TA.) El-Mufaddal En-Nukree says,

* وَقَدْ عَلِقَتْ بِثَعْلَبَةَ العَلُوقُ *

[When death, or the decree of death, had clung to Thaalebeh]. (Ṣ, O.) The pl. of عَلُوقٌ, in this sense, and in the sense next following, as mentioned before, in the paragraph commencing with the word عُلَقَ, is عُلُقٌ, with two dammehs. (TA. See that paragraph.)

And [hence, likewise,] A calamity, or misfortune. (O, Ḳ.) It occurs in a trad. in this sense, applied to what is termed عُذْرَة, or to the operation performed upon it. (O, TA. [See 4.])

See also عَوْلَقٌ.

Also Pasture upon which camels feed. (Ṣ, O, Ḳ.) And Trees that are eaten by the camels that have been ten months pregnant, (O, Ḳ,) in consequence of which they assume a red hue. (O.) El-Aạshà speaks of it [in a verse of which I find four different readings] as occasioning a redness in she-camels: but some say that he means thereby The young in the bellies; and by the redness, the beauty of their colour on the occasion of conceiving. (Ṣ, O.) And some say that, as used by El-Aạshà, it means The sperma of the stallion; a signification mentioned by AHeyth; because the she-camels become altered in colours, and red, when they conceive. (TA.)

مَا بِالنَّاقَةِ عَلُوقٌ means There is not in the she-camel aught of milk. (Ṣ. [And عَلَاقٌ signifies the same: see an ex. voce عُلْقَةٌ.])

Also A she-camel that is made to incline (تُعْطَفُ [in the CK تَعْطَفُ]) to a young one not her own, and will not keep to it, but only smells it with her nose, and refuses to yield her milk; (Ṣ, O, Ḳ; [see an ex. in a verse cited in the first paragraph {1} of art. رأم;]) as alsoمُعَالِقٌ↓: (Ṣ:) or a she-camel that inclines to her young one, and feels it, until it becomes familiar with her, but when it desires to suck the milk from her, strikes it, and drives it away. (Ḥam p. 206.) [Hence,] one says of him who speaks a speech with which is no deed, عَامَلَنَا مُعَامَلَةَ العَلُوقِ [He dealt with us with the dealing of the علوق]. (O, Ḳ.)

And A she-camel that does not become familiar with the stallion nor affect the young one: (Lth, O, Ḳ:) as implying a presage of good [i. e. that she will cling to both]. (TA.)

And A woman that does not love other than her husband: (Lth, O, Ḳ:) likewise as implying a presage of good. (TA.)

عَلِيقٌ i. q. قَضِيمٌ, (Ṣ, MA, Ḳ, TA,) i. e. Barley for a horse or similar beast, (MA,) [in which sense and also as meaning provender of beans and the like, the former word is now used, properly, or originally,] that is hung upon the beast [in a مِخْلَاة, or nose-bag]: (TA:) pl. عَلَائِقُ. (MA.)

There is to her, in my heart, an attachment, or a tie, or a clinging, of love]; and likewise, on the authority of the former, but as unknown to Aṣ,عِلْقُ↓ حُبٍّ andعِلَاقَةُ↓ حُبٍّ, though Aṣ knew the phraseعَلَقُ↓ حُبٍّ: (TA:) or عَلَاقَةُ حُبٍّ means love to which one clings.

عَلَاقَةٌ also signifies A thing upon which one has, or retains, a hold; likeعُلْقَةٌ↓ in the saying كُلُّ بَيْعٍ أَبْقَى عُلْقَةً فَهُوَ بِاطِلٌ i. e. [Every sale that leaves remaining] a thing upon which the seller retains a hold [is null]. (Mṣb.) And one says, مَا بَيْنَهُمَا عَلَاقَةٌ, with fet-ḥ, meaning There is not between them two anything upon which either of them has a hold against the other: and the pl. is عَلَائِقُ. (TA.) And لِفُلَانٍ فِى هٰذَا الدَّارِ عَلَاقَةٌ, [or rather هٰذِهِ الدار,] with fet-ḥ, i. e. [There belongs to such a one, in this house, something upon which he has a hold, or in which he has a concern, or] a remaining portion of a share. (TA.) العَلَاقَةُ مِنَ المَهْرِ means That [portion, or amount, of the dowry, or nuptial gift,] upon which they have a hold against him who takes a woman in marriage: (Sh, Ḳ, TA:) pl. عَلَائِقُ [as above]: (Ḳ, TA:) whence the saying, in a trad., أَدُّوا العَلَائِقَ i. e., as expl. by the Prophet, [Pay ye] what their families have agreed upon; meaning, what attack each one of them [by an obligation] to his companion, or fellow, like as a thing is attached to another thing. (TA.) And [the pl.] عَلَائِقُ likewise signifies [Obligations of bloodwits; or] bloodwits that are attached to a man. (TA.)

See also عُلْقَةٌ, in three places.

[The pl.] عَلَائِقُ is also expl. by Lḥ as meaning Articles of merchandise. (TA.)

And العَلَاقَةُ is said by Sh to signify النَبْلُ [evidently, I think, a mistranscription for التَّبْلُ, i. e. Blood-revenge; or the seeking for blood-revenge, or the like; though it seems to be better rendered the obligation of bloodrevenge; or the obligation of a bloodwit, attaching to a man, agreeably with an explanation given above]: and by Aboo-Naṣr to signify التَّبَاعُدُ [which I think to be a mistranscription for التَّنَافُدُ, signifying contention, disputation, or litigation, a meaning mentioned in the former half of this paragraph]: and both of these significations are assigned to it in the saying of Imra-el-Ḳeys,

* بِأَىِّ عَلَاقَتِنَا تَرْغَبُو *

* نَ عَنْ دَمِ عَمْرٍو عَلَى مَرْثَدِ *

Aegypt. Illustr., no. 222:) and to a species of dolichos; dolichos nilotica; dolichos sinensis of Forskål: and any climbing plant: (no. 669 in the same:) but it is also said to be applied to the rubus fruticosus, or common bramble: (Forskål's Flor. Aegypt. Arab., p. cxiii.:) and, agreeably with what here follows, it is now often applied to the rubus Idæus, or raspberry:] accord. to AḤn, both of these appellations signify a thorny tree [or shrub], that does not grow large, such that when a thing catches to it, it can hardly become free, by reason of the numerousness of its thorns, which are curved and sharp; and it has a fruit resembling the فِرْصَاد [or mulberry], (O, TA,) which, when it becomes ripe, blackens, and is eaten; (O;) [see also تُوتٌ;] and it is called in Pers. دَرْكَه [?]; (O, TA;) they assert that it is the tree in which Moses beheld the fire; (O;) and the places of its growth are thickets, and tracts abounding with trees: (O, TA:) the chewing it hardens, or strengthens, the gum, and cures the [disease in the mouth called] قُلَاع; and a dressing, or poultice, thereof cures whiteness of the eye, and the swelling, or protrusion, thereof, and the piles; and its root, or stem, (أَصْلُهُ,) crumbles stones in the kidney. (Ḳ.) عُلَّيْقُ الجَبَلِ [in the CK الخَيْلِ] is A certain plant: and عُلَّيقُ الكَلْبِ [one of the appellations now applied to The eglantine, or sweet brier, more commonly called the نِسْرِين,] is another plant.

The saying هٰذَا حَدِيثٌ طَوِيلُ العَوْلَقِ means [lit. This narrative, or story, is] long in the tail. (Ṣ.) Kr mentions the phrase إِنَّهُ لَطَوِيلُ العَوْلَقِ without particularizing a narrative or story, or any other thing. (TA.)

Also ‡ Hunger: (Ḳ, TA:) like عَوَقٌ. (O in art. عوق.)

مِعْلَقٌ A small عُلْبَة [or milking-vessel]: (Ṣ, O, TA:) next is the جَنْبَة, larger than it: then, the حَوْءَبَة, the largest of these: the مِعْلَق is the best of these, and is a drinking-cup, or bowl, which the rider upon a camel hangs with him [upon his saddle]: (TA:) pl. مَعَالِقُ. (Ṣ, O, TA.) [See an ex. voce شَرْبَةٌ.]

[Hence, المُعَلَّقَاتُ السَّبْعُ or السَّبْعُ المُعَلَّقَاتُ The seven suspended odes; accord. to several writers: two reasons for their being thus called are mentioned in the Mz (49th نوع); one, that “they were selected from all the poetry, and written upon قَبَاطِىّ (pieces of fine white cloth of Egypt) with water-gold, and suspended upon the Kaabeh;” the other, that “when an ode was deemed excellent, the King used to say, ' Suspend ye for us this, ' that it might be in his repository:” that these odes were selected from all the poetry, and that any copies of them were suspended collectively upon the Kaabeh, has been sufficiently confuted in Nöldeke's “Beiträge zur Kenntniss der Poesie der alten Araber,” pp. xvii. - xxiii.: it is not so unreasonable to suppose that they may have been suspended upon the Kaabeh singly, at different times, by their own authors or by admiring friends, and suffered to remain thus placarded for some days, perhaps during the period when the city was most thronged by pilgrims; but the latter of the two assertions in the Mz seems to be more probable.]

[Hence also مُعَلَّقُ القَوْسِ The appendage of the bow, by which it is suspended: see نِيَاطٌ and وَتَرٌ: and see also عِلَاقَةٌ.]

مُعَلَّقَةٌ applied to a woman means One whose husband has been lost [to her]: (Ṣ, TA:) or [left in suspense;] neither husbandless nor having a husband; (O;) [i. e.] whose husband does not act equitably with her nor release her, so that she is neither husbandless nor having a husband; (Az, TA;) or neither having a husband nor divorced.
