عَنِقَ, aor. ـَ {يَعْنَقُ}, inf. n. عَنَقٌ, He (a man, TḲ) was, or became, long in the neck. (TA, TḲ. [The verb in this sense is said in the TA to be like فَرِحَ: but in two instances in the same it is written عَنُقَ, with the same inf. n., and expl. as meaning He was, or became, long and thick in the neck.])

[Golius has assigned to عَنَقَ (an unknown verb) two significations belonging to تعنّق.]

(O,* L, Ḳ.*) It is related in a trad., that the Prophet said to Umm-Selemeh, when a sheep, or goat, of a neighbour of her's had come in and taken a cake of bread from beneath a jar belonging to her, and she had taken it from between its jaws, مَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِى لَكِ أَنْ تُعَنِّقِيهَا i. e. [It did not behoove thee] that thou shouldst take hold of its neck and squeeze it: or the meaning is, that thou shouldst disappoint it; (O, Ḳ;) from عنّقهُ signifying he disappointed him; (Ḳ;) which is from العَنَاقُ: (O:) or, as some relate it, he said ان تُعَنِّكِيهَا, (O, Ḳ,) i. e., that thou shouldst distress it, and treat it roughly: (O:) and تُعَنِّفِيَهَا, with ف, would be approvable if agreeing with a relation. (O, Ḳ.*) And it is also related in a trad., that he said to the women of ʼOthmán Ibn-Madh'oon, when he died, اِبْكِينَ وَإِيَّاكُنَّ وَتَعَنُّقَ↓ الشَّيْطَانِ, if correct, [meaning Weep ye, but beware ye of the Devil's seizing by the neck, and squeezing the throat,] from عنّقهُ as first expl. above: but it is by some related otherwise, i. e. وَنَعِيقَ الشيطان.
