maṣdarتَعْنِيقٌ

Core sense — he looked down on it; he squeezed him by the neckgenerated

2.1

He went along and looked down on it, or came in sight of it..

Explained by مَشَى وَأَشْرَفَ.

2.1.1the cloud emerged from the main body of the clouds and was seen white—عنّقت السَّحَابَةُ

It looked white because the sun was shining on it.

2.1.2his posteriors, or his anus, protruded—عنّقِت ٱسْتُهُ

Synonym: خَرَجَت.

2.1.4the date that had begun to colour ripened nearly as far as its base—عنّقت البُسْرَةُ

قِمَع is the base; so there remained of it, around that part, what was like a finger-ring.

2.2he took him by his neck and squeezed his throat—عنّقهُ

It is related in a tradition that the Prophet said to Umm-Selemeh — when a sheep, or goat, of a neighbour of hers had come in and taken a cake of bread from beneath a jar of hers, and she had taken it from between its jaws — مَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِى لَكِ أَنْ تُعَنِّقِيهَا, i.e. [It was not right for you] to take hold of its neck and squeeze it.

Or the meaning is that you should disappoint it; from عنّقهُ, meaning he disappointed him, which is from العَنَاقُ.

Or, as some relate it, he said ان تُعَنِّكِيهَا, i.e. that you should distress it and treat it roughly.

And تُعَنِّفِيَهَا with ف would be acceptable if it agreed with a relation.

It is also related in a tradition that he said to the women of ʿOthmán Ibn-Madhʿoon when he died, اِبْكِينَ وَإِيَّاكُنَّ وَتَعَنُّقَ الشَّيْطَانِ, if that is correct, [meaning Weep, but beware of the Devil's seizing by the neck and squeezing the throat,] from عنّقهُ in the first sense given above; but some relate it otherwise, i.e. وَنَعِيقَ الشيطان.

Nounعُنُقٌ16 senses · 2 main

Core sense — the neck; a company of men; a portion of goodgenerated

1the neck, the part that connects the head with the body—عُنْقٌ

The former belongs to the dialect of El-Hijáz and the latter to that of Temeem; Sb says the latter is a contraction of the former, [which is the more common.]

عَنِيقٌ and عُنَقٌ are also given, [it being implied that these two have all the meanings assigned to عُنُقٌ and عُنْقٌ,] but SM says that none of the leading lexicologists has mentioned these two, so far as he has seen; [he adds that he found in the O العَنِيقُ as meaning العَنَقُ, which he supposes the author of the K to have thought to be العُنُقُ.]

The same as رَقَبَةٌ, or the same as جِيدٌ [but see these two words].

Masculine and feminine; generally masculine, but feminine in the dialect of El-Hijáz; or, as some say, عُنْقٌ is masculine and عُنُقٌ feminine.

The plural is أَعْنَاقٌ, the only plural form.

1.1figurative · مجاز — inferreda star in the neck of the constellation Serpens—عُنُقُ الحَيَّةِ

1.6figurative · مجازwhat has risen of the dust that the wind raises—أَعْنَاقُ الرِّيحِ

[The phrase قد رأس اعناقُ الريح, mentioned by Freytag as from the K, is a strange mistake.]

1.7figurative · مجاز — inferreda portion will issue from the fire of Hell—يَخْرُجُ عُنُقٌ مِنَ النَّارِ

Occurring in a tradition.

The plural is أَعْنَاقٌ.

1.11figurative · مجازthe speech, or language, is coherent, or compact—الكَلَامُ يَأْخُذُ بَعْضُهُ بِأَعْنَاقِ بَعْضٍ

بِعُنُقِ بَعْضٍ is used in the same way; both are figurative.

1.12figurative · مجاز — inferredthey are inclining towards you, and expecting you—هُمْ عُنُقٌ إِلَيْكَ

Or, Az: they have advanced towards you with their company.

1.13figurative · مجاز — inferreda company of men; or a numerous company; or a preceding company—عُنُقٌ
and their great ones and their chiefs shall continue submissive to it—فَظَلَّتْ أَعْنَاقُهُمْ لَهَا خَاضِعِينَ

It also means the heads, or chiefs, of men, and the great ones and nobles; and it is masculine.

In the Kur 26:3; or the meaning is their companies. The past tense is here used in the sense of the future; or, as some say, the meaning is their necks. [See also art. خضع.]

he came in a company of men—جَآءَ فِى عُنُقٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ
the people came in successive parties—جَآء القَوْمُ عُنُقًا عُنُقًا

Az says each company of them is termed عُنُق; or, as some say, the meaning is gradually, party by party.

they are a company, or party, combined against him—هُمْ عُنُقٌ عَلَيْهِ
mankind will not cease to have their companies, parties diverse in seeking worldly good—لَا يَزَالُ النَّاسُ مُخْتَلِفَةً أَعْنَاقُهُمْ فِى طَلَبِ الدُّنْيَا

Occurring in a tradition; or, as some say, the meaning is their heads, or chiefs, and great ones.

1.14figurative · مجاز — inferredto such a one belongs a portion of good—لِفُلَانٍ عُنُقٌ مِنَ الخَيْرِ

Also a portion of good; من الخُبْزِ in the K is a mistake for من الخَيْرِ. Also a portion of property; and of work, whether good or evil.

the proclaimers of the times of prayer will be the most abundant of men in good works—المُؤَذِّنُونَ أَطْوَلَ النَّاسِ أَعْنَاقًا يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ

Occurring in a tradition, with reference to the day of resurrection; or the meaning is chiefs, because the Arabs describe such men as long-necked.

But it is also related otherwise, i.e. إِعْنَاقًا, with kesr to the hemzeh, meaning the most hastening of men to Paradise.

Other explanations are given: that they will be forerunners to Paradise, from the saying لَهُ عُنُقٌ فِى الخَيْرِ, he has precedence in what is good — so says Th; that they will be forgiven to the extent of the prolonging of their voice; that they will be given an addition above other men; that they will be in a state of happiness and liveliness, raising the eyes and looking in expectation, since permission will have been given them to enter Paradise; and other explanations may be found in the Fáïk, the Nh and the Expositions of Bkh.

عُنُقٌ is also a plural of the next word.
