فُلُجٌّ, [thus in the L,] accord. to Sb, A sort of men: one says, النَّاسُ فُلُجَّانِ The people, or men, are two sorts; [for ex.,] consisting of entering and going out: [but I think it most probable that فُلُجٌّ and فُلُجَّانِ are mistranscriptions for فِلْجٌ and فِلْجَانِ, for] Seer says that فلج signifying “a half” and “a sort” is derived from فِلْجٌ syn. with قَفِيزٌ: thus he makes فِلْجٌ an Arabic word. (L.) See also فَلْجٌ.
