muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُmaṣdarصَكٌّ صَكَكٌ
Core sense — he struck him, he slapped him; he shut a door; he was knock-kneedgenerated
1.1and she slapped her face with her hand—فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا
He struck him, or it; or he struck him, or it, violently with a broad thing, or in a general sense with anything at all; or he slapped him with his hand, that is, struck him with his open hand, like لَطَمَهُ, on the back of his neck or on his face; so in the article on لطث and elsewhere..
In the Qur'ān 51:29; synonymous with لَطَمَتْهُ.
the hawk, or falcon, struck his prey with his foot and so cast it down—صَكَّ البَازِى صَيْدَهُ
take this on my first striking with it—خُذْ هٰذَا أَوَّلَ صَكٍّ
Equivalent to أَوَّلَ مَا أَصُكُّ بِهِ; and أَوَّلَ صَوْكٍ is used in the same way.
1.1.1
Also: he pushed him, or thrust him; like دَكَّهُ and لَكَّهُ. So in the article on دك.
1.1.2he shut, or closed, the door; or he locked the door—صَكَّ البَابَ
1.2he wrote a written statement of the kind described below—صَكَّ
The writing meant is a صَكّ. Muḍāriʿ and maṣdar as above.
1.3you were knock-kneed; or your knees collided—صَكِكْتَ
Like مَلِلْتَ; third person صَككَ, said of an ass. [The TA also implies that the third person is صَكِكَ, like لَحِحَتْ, said of the eye, and in some other instances, which are irregular.] A verb of the class of تَعِبَ. [In the CK صَكِيكًا is put by mistake for صَكَكًا, and what follows suggests that صَكٌّ is also a maṣdar, like صَكَكٌ.]
The colliding meant is اِضْطِرَاب, and, of an ostrich or a horse or the like, of the عُرْقُوبَانِ, which here means the hocks.
The verb is used of a man and of other than man; the same is implied elsewhere, as is shown under أَصَكُّ.
صَكَكٌ sometimes means particularly the colliding of the knees, or of the hocks, in running, so that it makes a mark, or scar, upon each of them. This word, or صَكٌّ (perhaps a mistranscription for صَكَكٌ), is said to mean the colliding of the عُرْقُوبَانِ.
