(TA. [See also 2 in art. فقع.]) And one says, سَمِعْتُ فَرْقَعَةً لِرَجُلٍ and صَرْقَعَةً [I heard a cracking of the joints of the fingers of a man]: both signify the same. (TA.)

And فَرْقَعَةُ He twisted his (a man's, Ḳ) neck. (O, Ḳ.)

فَرْقَعَ [as an intrans. v.], (O, Ḳ, TA,) inf. n. as above, (TA,) He ran vehemently, (O, Ḳ, TA,) going back, or retreating: so in the Tekmileh. (TA.)

And فِرْقَاعٌ (as an inf. n. of which the verb is فَرْقَعَ, TḲ) signifies The emitting of wind from the anus with a sound: (O, Ḳ:) mentioned by IDrd as from some one or more of the Arabs. (O.)

See also فَرْقَعَةٌ in what next follows.

تَفَرْقَعَتْ الأَصَابِعُ The fingers produced a sound or sounds [by their joints' being cracked]; (O;) quasi-pass. of 1 in the first of the senses expl. above; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) as alsoاِفْرَنْقَعَت↓, (Ḳ, TA,) inf. n. اِفْرِنْقَاعُ and [quasi-inf. n., being app. the inf. n. in this case of فُرْقِعَت,] فَرْقَعَةٌ↓, (TA,) [and this is app. what is meant by its being said that] الاِفْرِنْقَاعُ↓ is [syn. with] الفَرْقَعَةُ.

Accord. to IDrd, تَفَرْقُعٌ signifies The sounding of two things striking against each other. (O.)

الاِفْرِنْقَاعُ also signifies The withdrawing, or removing, and going away, from a thing (عَنْ شَىْءٍ); (Ḳ;) and the dispersing of itself, or becoming dispersed.

(Ṣ, O.) And ʼEesà Ibn-ʼOmar is related to have read, [in the Ḳur xxxiv. 22,] حَتَّى إِذَا ٱفْرَنْقَعَ عَنْ قُلُوبِهِمْ; meaning, كُشِفَ; [الفَزَعُ, or the like, being understood;] but the common reading is فُزِّعَ, q. v.
