muḍāriʿـُيَفْعُلُ·ـِيَفْعِلُmaṣdarغِلَظٌ
Core sense — it was, or became, thick, or coarse; he was rough, or rude, in mannergenerated
1.1his body was, or became, thick—غَلُظَ جِسْمُهُ
and the verb also occurs as غَلَظَ.
Maṣdar of the former غِلَظٌ, and غِلَاظَةٌ, غِلْظَةٌ, غُلْظَةٌ, غَلْظَةٌ; all of these are maṣdars of غَلُظَ, or else the last three — the second and third of which are mentioned in the Bāriʿ on the authority of IAar — are simple substantives; and perhaps غَلْظٌ may be a maṣdar of the latter verb.
It (a thing) was, or became, thick, gross, big, bulky, or coarse; it became غلِّيظ; استغلظ is used in the same way.
the seed-produce became thick, or strong, or well grown and thick—استغلظ الزَّرْعُ
The same as غَلُظَ. The like is said of any plant or tree.
the ear of corn produced grain—غَلُظَتِ السُّنْبُلَةُ
Also استغلظت.
the garment, or piece of cloth, was thick, or coarse—غَلْظَ الثَّوْبُ
the land was, or became, rough, or rugged—غَلُظَتِ الأَرْضُ
and perhaps غَلْظٌ may also be a maṣdar of this verb, or, more probably, of غَلَظَت.
In this sense of rough, or rugged, غَلُظَ is used of various things.
