muḍāriʿـِيَفْعِلُ·ـُيَفْعُلُ·ـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarحَلْقٌ حلْقٌ

Core sense — he shaved his head, he removed its hair; he peeled a thinggenerated

1.1he removed the hair of his head [with a razor, or shaved his head]—شَعَرَهُ

maṣdar حَلْقٌ, حِلَاقٌ, and تَحْلَاقٌ. Also احتلقهُ and حلّقهُ, maṣdar تَحْلِيقٌ.

[they shaved their heads]—حَلَّقُوا رُؤُوسَهُمْ

[he shore his goats]—حَلَقَ مَعْزَهُ

Or the form 2 verb has an intensive meaning and applies to many objects, as in this phrase.

But you do not say جَزَّ except of sheep: الحَلْقُ, used of the hair of human beings and of goats, is like الجَزُّ used of wool.

[His head is well shaven]—إِنَّ رَأْسَهُ لَجَيِّدُ الحِلَاقِ

[The day of the shaving off of the locks termed لمم]—يَوْمُ تَحْلَاق اللَّمَمِ

This was a day fought by Teghlib against Bekr Ibn-Wáïl, because Teghlib's distinctive sign on that day was shaving.

1.1.1may she be bereft of her husband, so that she shall shave off her hair—عَقْرًا حَلْقًا

Az says that حَلْقَى عَقْرَى means she is unlucky [to others] and annoying.

This expression occurs in a tradition; the variant عَقْرَى حَلْقَى is rare, or is an incorrect variation of the relaters of traditions.

may God wound her body and afflict her with pain in her حَلْق [or fauces]—عَقَرَهَا ٱللّٰهُ وَحَلَقَهَا

A 'Obeyd says it is عَقْرًا حَلْقًا, for which the relaters of traditions say عَقْرَى حَلْقَى; the original form and meaning is this, or عَقَرَهَا ٱللّٰهُ عَقْرًا وَحَلَقَهَا حَلْقًا.

But this explanation is not valid.

According to the T, it is a form of imprecation uttered against a woman, [not in earnest, though showing a degree of displeasure].

may she who has caused this scratch and wound her face and shave off her hair—عَقْرَى حَلْقَى خَمْشَى

ISd says it is said to mean she is unlucky [to others]; but I am not sure of it.

According to Aboo-Nasr Ahmad Ibn-Hátim, this is said on an occasion at which one wonders; from الحَلْقُ [the act of shaving] and العَقْرُ [the act of wounding] and الخَمْشُ, which is like الخَدْشُ [the act of scratching]. He cites this verse, meaning [Now surely] my people have women who have wounded and scratched their faces and shaven off their hair [on account of what the tribe of Selámán Ibn-Ghanm has experienced]:

shāhid 1

أَلَا قَوْمِى أُولُو عَقْرَى وَحَلْقَىلِمَا لَا قَتْ سَلَامَانُ بْنُ غَنْمِ

IB says that IKtt relates the verse in that way, and so does Hr in the Ghareebeyn; but ISk relates it thus:

shāhid 2

أَلَا قَوْمِى إِلَى عَقْرَى وَحَلْقَى

[and so I find it in one copy of the S.]

IJ explains it by saying that عقرى وحلقى originally denotes the case of a woman who, when someone honourable in her eyes has been smitten or wounded, takes a pair of sandals and beats her head with them, and wounds or scratches it, and shaves off her hair; the poet means, my people have come to the condition of wounded, or scratched, and shaven women.

a form of imprecation: may God afflict him with pain in his حَلْق [or fauces], and wound his body—حَلْقًا لَهُ وَعَقْرًا

So says Fei. But the relaters of traditions say حَلْقَى عَقْرَى, with the feminine alif, making them ism fāʿil: the first meaning, by one of the explanations given above, a woman unlucky to others, though this is doubtful, and the second a woman annoying her people. Or both these words are maṣdars, like دَعْوَى. See more in the article عقر.

1.1.2[Among them is heard the saying, Shave, O woman, and arise]—بَيْنَهُمُ ٱحْلِقِى وَقُومِى

That is, among them is trial, trouble, distress, or calamity.

[A day of the saying Shave, and so on; that is, of trial]—يُوْمُ ٱحْلِقِى وَقُومِى

1.1.3he peeled the thing, he stripped off its surface—حَلَقَ الشَّىْءَ

. Or he peeled, pared, scraped, or rubbed it off; synonymous with قَشَرَهُ.

1.1.4figurative · مجاز — inferredhe, or it, destroyed, and cut off entirely, as the razor does hair—حَلَقَ

1.1.5figurative · مجاز — inferred

With the muḍāriʿ as above: he (a man) caused pain.

1.2he hit, or hurt, his حَلْق [or fauces]—حَلَقَهُ

A verb like رَأَسَهُ, عَضَدَهُ, and صَدَرَهُ, meaning “he struck his head”, “his upper arm”, and “his breast”.

Also: he (God) afflicted him with pain in his حَلْق, as explained in a phrase mentioned above.

1.2.1figurative · مجاز

He filled it, namely a watering-trough or tank, up to its حَلْق; احلقهُ is used in the same sense.

1.3he made the thing according to a measure—حَلَقَ الشَّىْءَ

The same as قَدَّرَهُ, and like خَلَقَهُ, with the pointed خ.

1.4figurative · مجاز — inferredthe udder rose to the belly and became contracted—حَلَقَ الضَّرْعُ

[so in the TA, apparently a mistranscription for حَلُقَ, since neither the middle nor the last radical letter is faucial]; maṣdar حُلُوقٌ.

1.4.1figurative · مجاز — inferred

And also: the udder contained much milk; so the verb has two opposite meanings. [See the ism fāʿil حَالِقٌ.]

1.5he (a man) suffered pain—حَلِقَ

. Or: he had a complaint of his حَلْق [or fauces].

And complete the Hajj or 'umra in the service of Allah. But if ye are prevented (From completing it), send an offering for sacrifice, such as ye may find, and do not shave your heads until the offering reaches the place of sacrifice. And if any of you is ill, or has an ailment in his scalp, (Necessitating shaving), (He should) in compensation either fast, or feed the poor, or offer sacrifice; and when ye are in peaceful conditions (again), if any one wishes to continue the 'umra on to the hajj, He must make an offering, such as he can afford, but if he cannot afford it, He should fast three days during the hajj and seven days on his return, Making ten days in all. This is for those whose household is not in (the precincts of) the Sacred Mosque. And fear Allah, and know that Allah Is strict in punishment.

Core sense — the fauces; the throat, or gullet; the part where water runs in a troughgenerated

1the fauces; and hence, by synecdoche, the throat, or gullet, that is, the œsophagus—حَلْقٌ

It is the place of the غَلْصَمَة [or epiglottis], and the place of slaughter in an animal; or the fore part of the neck. (Zj in his “Khalk el-Insán”)

Or the passage by which the food and drink pass into the مَرِىْء [or œsophagus]; or the same as حُلْقُومٌ, though that is the windpipe, the passage of the breath, which has branches going from it into the lungs, namely the bronchi, consisting of two main branches that divide into smaller and smaller, called the قَصَب.

This word, however, like the former, is sometimes applied to the throat, or gullet; but the former generally means the fauces, and the latter the windpipe. See another explanation of the latter word in the article حلقم, from the M. A morsel of food, or the like, is commonly said to stick in the حلق, but not in the حلقوم.

It is masculine, and its plural is حُلُوقٌ, and sometimes حُلُقٌ or حِلَقٌ, which is irregular; the plural of paucity is أَحْلَاقٌ, and أَحْلُقٌ is allowable as a plural of paucity by analogy, but it has not been heard from the Arabs.

حُلْقُومٌ is of the measure فُعْلُومٌ, the م being added, according to Kh; but of the measure فُعْلُولٌ according to others; and its plural is حَلَاقِيمُ and, by contraction, حَلَاقِمُ.

As meaning a ring, that is, anything circular: a حلقة of iron, of silver, or of gold; a حلقة of a coat of mail; the حلقة of a door; and a حلقة of people, meaning a ring of people.

It is also with fetḥ to the ل, that is حَلَقَةٌ, mentioned by Yoo on the authority of Aboo-'Amr Ibn-El-'Alà; and with kesr, that is حَلِقَةٌ, mentioned by Fr and El-Umawee as of the dialect of Belhárith Ibn-Kaab, according to the O; or حِلْقَةٌ according to the L.

Or there is no such word as حَلَقَةٌ in chaste speech except as a plural of حَالِقٌ, according to Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee; or it is a dialectal variant of weak authority; according to Th it is allowed by all, though of weak authority; or it is used by poetic licence.

Lh says that the حلقة of a door is حَلْقَةٌ and حَلَقَةٌ; Kr says the same of the حلقة of a company of men; Lth says it is the first in this case, but that some say the second; A 'Obeyd prefers the second in the case of a حلقة of iron, but allows the first, and prefers the first in the case of a حلقة of people, but allows the second; and Abu-l-'Abbás prefers the first in both cases, but allows the second.

The plural is حَلَقٌ, which is irregular in relation to حَلْقَةٌ, or rather to a ism jamʿ, but regular in relation to حَلَقَةٌ [as a collective generic noun], like قَصَبٌ in relation to قَصَبَةٌ.

According to As, حِلَقٌ is the plural of حَلْقَةٌ meaning a حلقة of men and of iron, like بِدَرٌ, plural of بَدْرَةٌ, and قِصَعٌ, plural of قَصْعَةٌ; or it is a regular plural of حِلْقَةٌ.
