Core sense — he beat it, he struck it; he knocked at the door; he came by nightgenerated

1.1figurative · مجازhe knocked at the door—طَرَقَ البَابَ

The primary meaning is the beating of a thing, or striking it in any manner and with anything; or the beating with the مِطْرَقَة, which is the implement of the blacksmith and of the artificer, and the rod, or stick, with which wool or hair is beaten to loosen or separate it; and the slapping with the hand.

he beat the wool, or the hair, with a rod, to loosen or separate it—طَرَقَ الصُّوفَ

Also الشَّعَرَ, with the same muḍāriʿ and maṣdar. The rod is called مِطْرَقَة. Or: he plucked it, so as to loosen or separate it.

اُطْرُقِى وَمِيشِى is a proverb, occurring in a verse of Ru-beh, originally addressed to a woman, and literally meaning: beat the wool with the stick, and mix the hair with the wool. Az: it is said to one who confuses his speech and uses various modes or manners in it.

he beat the piece of iron—طَرَقَ الحَدِيدَةَ

The iron is beaten with the مِطْرَقَة.

he beat it much, or violently—طرّقها

The maṣdar is as above.

I travelled, or beat, the road—طَرَقْتُ الطَّرِيقَ

Apparently derived from the foregoing; probably a maṣdar.

the ground was beaten so as to be even and easy to travel, and trodden with the feet—طُرِقَتِ الأَرْضُ

the beasts beat the water with the foot so as to make it turbid, or muddy—طَرَقَ الدَّوَابُّ المَآءَ بِالرِّجْلِ حَتَّى تُكَدِّرَهُ

This explanation is Er-Rāghib's.

the camels staled and dunged in the water—طَرَقَتِ الإِبِلُ المَآءَ

Muḍāriʿ as above.

1.1.1figurative · مجاز — inferredhe came by night—طَرَقَ

1.1.2the stallion covered the she-camel, or leaped her and covered her—طَرَقَ القَحْلُ النَّاقَةَ

Also the stallion's covering of the she-camel; طُرُوقٌ and طِرَاقٌ have the same meaning, the latter apparently being another maṣdar of طَرَقَ, as its synonym ضِرَابٌ is of ضَرَبَ.

or both.

1.1.3he made lines, or marks, with a finger in divining—طَرَقَ

Also the practising of pessomancy, the same as ضَرْبٌ بِالحَصَى, which is done by women or by a diviner: a certain mode of divination.

Core sense — an air, or tune, of the lute; a covering stallion camel; turbid water; a snaregenerated

1this girl, or female slave, plays such and such airs, or melodies, of the lute or the like—تَضْرِبُ هٰذِهِ الجَارِيَةُ كَذَا وَكَذَا طَرْقًا

Originally a maṣdar, and as such apparently meaning an act of striking the lute and the like; and hence a kind of the أَصْوَات, that is, the sounds, airs, or tunes, of the lute.

Or any صَوْت, that is, air or tune, or any نَغْمَة, that is, melody, of the lute and the like, by itself.

1.1he has various sorts, or kinds, of speech—عِنْدَهُ طُرُوقٌ مِنَ الكَلَامِ

1.2

See also طَرْقَةٌ, in four places.

And the sperma of the stallion camel.

The covering is said to be the original meaning.

It is said to be sometimes used figuratively of the sperma of man; or, in relation to man, it may be an adjective, as it sometimes is in relation to a stallion camel, and not figurative.

طَرْقُ الجَمَلِ also means the hire that is given for the camel's covering of the female; in the article شبر.

3figurative · مجاز

Also, and مَطْرُوقٌ: rain-water in which camels and other beasts have staled, or waded and staled, and dunged; or stagnant water in which beasts have waded and staled.

طَرْقٌ also means a snare, trap, gin, or net, such as is commonly called فَخّ, or the like; and so طِرْقٌ.

Golius and Freytag assigned this meaning to طَرْقَةٌ, and Freytag to طِرْقَةٌ as well, because of a want of clearness in the K.

Or a snare, or thing by means of which wild animals are taken, like the فَخّ.

طَرَقَةٌ, of which the plural, or collective noun, is طَرَقٌ, means the same, or the sportsman's snare, having what are termed كِفَف, plural of كِفَّةٌ.

A way, course, rule, mode, or manner, of acting or conduct or the like, of a man, whether approved or disapproved; the same as مَذْهَبٌ, سِيرَةٌ and مَسْلَكٌ. Er-Rāghib: also طَرِيقٌ, used figuratively in this sense; like مَذْهَبٌ, often relating to the doctrines and practices of religion, and often used in post-classical times of the rule of a religious order or sect.

And also a manner of being; a state, or condition; the same as حَالَةٌ, or حَالٌ.

I have found neither of these words anywhere but in this passage, and know none nearly resembling them except أُحْدُور and أُخْدُود, of which they may be miscopyings, or perhaps dialectal variants: the former means a declivity, slope, or place of descent, the latter a furrow, trench, or channel.

It is apparently sewed beneath the middle of the tent-covering, half of its breadth to one شُقَّة and the other half to the other middle شُقَّة; see Burckhardt's "Bedouins and Wahábys", p. 38 of the 8vo edition. Sometimes, it seems, there are three طَرَائِق, one in the middle and one towards each side.

And in them are the heads of the tent-poles, which generally form three rows, three in each row; between these and the طرائق are pieces of felt, in which are the nozzles of the tent-poles, in order that these may not tear the طرائق.

1.11

Also a tent-pole; any one of the poles of a tent: a خِبَآء has one طريقة; a بَيْت has two, three, four and more; and the part between two poles is called مَتْنٌ. AZ, in the article زبع.

1the summoner of death, literally of deaths—طَارِقُ المَنَايَا

Ism fāʿil of طَرَقَ, and as such generally meaning coming, or a comer: anything coming by night. One who comes by night is so called because he generally needs to knock at the door.

In the Mufradāt of Er-Rāghib it is said to mean a wayfarer; but in the common conventional language it is applied particularly to one who comes by night.

Its plural is أَطْرَاقٌ, like أَنْصَارٌ, plural of نَاصِرٌ; and apparently, as in a sense mentioned below, طُرَّاقٌ also, as analogy allows; and the plural of its feminine طَارِقَةٌ is طَوَارِقُ.

Like دَاعِى المَنَايَا; so called because death makes its arrival, or approach, known suddenly, like a person knocking at the door in the night.

Core sense — an event happening in the night; a man's small sub-tribe; a small couchgenerated

1figurative · مجازwe seek protection by God from the nocturnal events, or accidents—نَعُوذُ بِٱللَّهِ مِنْ طَوَارِقِ السَّوْءِ

A noun formed from طَارِقٌ by the affix ة: an event occurring, or coming to pass, in the night; plural طَوَارِقُ.

Er-Rāghib: these are the events of the night that are occasions of evil.

طَارِقَةٌ, occurring in a tradition of 'Alee, is explained as meaning طَرَقَتْ بِخَيْرٍ, apparently an event that has occurred in the night bringing good, or good fortune.

Also a man's small sub-tribe such as is called عَشِيرَة, and such as is called فَخِذ.

And a small couch, of a size sufficient for one person; of the dialect of El-Yemen.

El-Makreezee mentions the custom of attaching طَوَارِق حَرْبِيَّة upon the gates of Cairo and upon the entrances of the houses of the أُمَرَآء; and De Sacy approves the opinion of A. Schultens and of M. Reinaud that the meaning is cuirasses, from the Greek; see De Sacy's Chrest. Arabe, second edition, volume 1, pp. 274-5.

But I think the meaning is more probably large maces; for such maces, each with a head like a cannon-ball, may still be seen, if they have not been removed within the last few years, upon several of the gates of Cairo. If so, طَوَارِق in this case is apparently from طَرَقَ, "he beat"; see also عَمُودٌ.
