1a deep well—بِئْرٌ عَمِيقَةٌ

This word belongs to the dialect of the people of El-Hijáz; the tribe of Temeem say مَعِيقٌ.

a deep well—مَعِيقَةٌ

It is formed by transposition.

Plural عُمُقٌ, عِمَقٌ, عَمَائِقُ, and عِمَاقٌ.

Also, applied to a road, as in the Qur 22:28: remote, or far-extending. Mujáhid; and so too as applied to a place.

[So too عَمِقٌ applied to a desert, as in the verse cited above under عَمْقٌ.]

Applied to a road, عَمِيقٌ is more used than مَعِيقٌ.

عَمِيقٌ applied to a فَجّ means long; but apparently, according to IAar, not so when applied to a فَجّ in the sense of a road.
