Derived nouns 15
Nounفُلْكٌ2 senses
Core sense — a ship; shipsgenerated
1when you are in the ships—كُنْتُمْ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِىِّ
A ship. [Also applied particularly to the ark of Noah, as in the Qur'ān 7:62 and elsewhere.]
The word is generally only in this form; but some say فُلُكٌ as well, with two dammas, and it is held that this may be the original form, and that فُلْكٌ may be a contraction, like عُنْقٌ is [of غُنُقٌ, according to Sb].
It is masculine and feminine, and singular and plural; and Ibn-'Abbád says that it has فُلُوكٌ also as a plural.
[It is said that] it may be singular, and in that case masculine; and plural, and in that case feminine. [But see what follows.]
It occurs in the Qur'ān in these and other places: in 26:119 and elsewhere, where it is singular and masculine; in [16:14 and] 35:13, where it is plural [and feminine]; and in 2:159, where it is feminine and may be either plural or singular.
It seems that, when it is singular, it is regarded as meaning the مَرْكَب and is therefore made masculine; or the سَفِينَة and is therefore made feminine.
Or, as Sb used to say, the فُلْك that is plural [in meaning] is a broken plural of that, that is, of the فُلْك that is singular [in meaning].
And it is not like الجُنُبُ, which is singular and plural [in meaning], nor like nouns of that sort, such as الطِّفْلُ and others; for فُلْكَانِ has been heard from the Arabs as the dual of فُلْكٌ, but not جُنُبَانِ [or the like] as the dual of جُنُبٌ [or the like]; and they say that what has not been dualized is not a plural [form], but is, or may be, a homonym, while what has been dualized is, or may be, a plural [form].
Sb then continues: فُعْلٌ and فَعَلٌ share in application to one thing [or meaning], like العُرْبُ and العَرَبُ and others; and as it is allowable for فَعَلٌ to have فُعْلٌ as its plural, as in the case of أَسَدٌ and أُسْدٌ, so فُعْلٌ may have فُعْلٌ as its plural.
فُلْكِىٌّ is a dialectal variant of فُلْكٌ.
Abu-d-Dardà read this in the Qur'ān 10:23; others read فى الفُلْكِ, and the context shows that the plural meaning is intended.
Qur’ān 10:22 approximate — somewhere between 10:16 and 10:61 Lane cites “Kur x. 23”
Qur’ān 10:22 the verse Lane’s citation points to, and it uses this root
هُوَ ٱلَّذِى يُسَيِّرُكُمْ فِى ٱلْبَرِّ وَٱلْبَحْرِ ۖ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا كُنتُمْ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ وَجَرَيْنَ بِهِم بِرِيحٍ طَيِّبَةٍ وَفَرِحُوا۟ بِهَا جَآءَتْهَا رِيحٌ عَاصِفٌ وَجَآءَهُمُ ٱلْمَوْجُ مِن كُلِّ مَكَانٍ وَظَنُّوٓا۟ أَنَّهُمْ أُحِيطَ بِهِمْ ۙ دَعَوُا۟ ٱللَّهَ مُخْلِصِينَ لَهُ ٱلدِّينَ لَئِنْ أَنجَيْتَنَا مِنْ هَـٰذِهِۦ لَنَكُونَنَّ مِنَ ٱلشَّـٰكِرِينَHe it is Who enableth you to traverse through land and sea; so that ye even board ships;- they sail with them with a favourable wind, and they rejoice thereat; then comes a stormy wind and the waves come to them from all sides, and they think they are being overwhelmed: they cry unto Allah, sincerely offering (their) duty unto Him saying, "If thou dost deliver us from this, we shall truly show our gratitude!"Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

A ship: (S, O, Msb, K, &c.:) [also particularly applied to the ark of Noah; as in the Kur-án vii. 62, &c.:] the word is generally thus only; but some say فُلُكٌ also, with two dammehs; and it is held that this may be the original form; and that فُلْكٌ may be a contraction, like as عُنْقٌ is [of غُنُقٌ accord. to Sb]: (MF, TA:) it is masc. and fem., (S, O, K, *) and sing. and pl., (S, O, K,) and Ibn-'Abbád says that it has فُلُوكٌ also for a pl.: (O:) [it is said that] it may be sing., and in this case masc.; and pl., and in this case fem.: (IB, Msb:) [but see what here follows:] it occurs in the Kur-án in the following (and other) places: in xxvi. 119, &c.; where it is sing. and masc.: (S, O, TA:) and in [xvi. 14 and] xxxv. 13; where it is pl. [and fem.]: (TA:) and in ii. 159; where it is fem., and may be either pl. or sing.: it seems that, when it is sing., it is regarded as meaning the مَرْكَب , and is therefore made masc.; or the سَفِينَة , and is therefore made fem.: (S, O, TA:) or, (K,) as Sb used to say, (S, O, TA,) the فُلْك that is a pl. [in meaning] is a broken pl. of that, (S, O, K, TA,) i. e. of the فُلْك , (IB, O, K, TA,) that is a sing. [in meaning]: and it is not like الجُنُبُ , which is sing. and pl. [in meaning], and the like thereof (S, O, K, TA) among substs., such as الطِّفْلُ &c.; (S, O, TA;) for فُلْكَانِ has been heard from the Arabs as dual of فُلْكٌ , but not جُنُبَانِ [or the like] as dual of جُنُبٌ [or the like]; and they say that what has not been dualized is not a pl. [form], but [is, or may be,] a homonym, and what has been dualized [is, or may be,] a pl. [form]: (MF, TA:) Sb then says in continuation, (TA,) for فُعْلٌ and فَعَلٌ share in application to one thing [or meaning], as العُرْبُ and العَرَبُ , (S, O, K, TA,) &c.; (S, O, TA;) and as it is allowable for فَعَلٌ to have for its pl. فُعْلٌ , as in the instance of أَسَدٌ and أُسْدٌ , so too فُعْلٌ may have for its pl. فُعْلٌ . (S, O, K, TA.) فُلْكِىٌّ is a dial. var. of فُلْكٌ ; and Abu-d-Dardà read, [in the Kur x. 23,] كُنْتُمْ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِىِّ [When ye are in the ships; where others read فى الفُلْكِ ; and where the context shows that the pl. meaning is intended].

Nounالفَلَكُ7 senses · 1 main
Core sense — the celestial sphere, the place where the stars revolve; a mound of sandgenerated
1the pole of heaven; [generally the north celestial pole]—فَلَكُ السَّمآءِ
The place where the stars revolve; [the celestial sphere: but generally imagined by the Arabs to be a material concave hemisphere, so that it may be called the vault of heaven, or the firmament.]
The astronomers say that it is [a term applied to every one, by itself, of] seven أَطْوَاق [by which they mean surrounding spheres], apart from the سَمَآء [or sky, meaning the region of the clouds], in which have been set the seven stars [the Moon, Mercury, Venus, the Sun, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn], in every طَوْق [or surrounding sphere] a star, some being higher than others, revolving in it.
[It is also commonly imagined that above these is an eighth sphere, called by the astronomers فَلَكُ الثَّوَابِتِ (the sphere of the fixed stars), and by others فَلَكُ الكُرْسِىِّ; and above this a ninth, called فَلَكُ الأَطْلَسِ and فَلَكُ العَرْشِ, and also called الأَثِيرُ.]
The plural is أَفْلَاكٌ [a plural of paucity] and فُلُكٌ; and فُلْكٌ may be another plural, as أُسْدٌ and خُشُبٌ are plurals of أَسَدٌ and خَشَبٌ.
[Thus according to both of my copies of the S, as well as the O and TA; but it may be that أُسْدٌ and خُشْبٌ are mistranscriptions for أُسُدٌ and خُشُبٌ, and therefore that for فُلْكٌ (which is not mentioned as a plural of فَلَكٌ in the K) we should read فُلُكٌ.]
Likened to the pivot, or axis, of the mill-stone.
1.1the revolving of the heaven [or celestial sphere]—الفَلَكُ
1.2the circuit, and main part, of anything—فَلَكٌ
1.3
Waves of the sea in commotion, circling and going to and fro.
This, or what is mentioned next, or the place where the stars revolve, or the pole of heaven, is what is meant in a tradition where it is said of a horse smitten by the [evil] eye that he was as though he were turning in a فَلَك.
And water put in motion by the wind, going to and fro, in commotion: mentioned by Z.
1.4
A hill, or mound, of sand having around it a wide expanse of land.
Or فَلَكٌ مِنَ الرَّمْلِ means rugged, round أَجْوِبَة [apparently a plural of جَوْبَة (though I do not find it mentioned as such), meaning depressed and clear places] of the sands, like [tracts of] what are called كَذَّان [or soft stones resembling dry pieces of clay], hollowed out by the gazelles.
1.5
Pieces of land, or of sand, of circular form, raised above what is around them, with ruggedness and evenness.
One of them is called فَلْكَةٌ, with the ل sākin; plural فِلَاكٌ, that is, [this is the plural of فَلْكَةٌ] like قَصْعَةٌ and قِصَاعٌ.
In El-Ghareeb El-Musannaf, [by Aboo-'Amr Esh-Sheybánee, we find] فَلَكَةٌ and فَلَكٌ, [each] بِالتَّحْرِيك [according to which فَلَكَةٌ is an ism waḥda and فَلَكٌ is a collective generic noun]; but in the Book of Sb, [agreeing with the K,] we find فَلْكَةٌ [as a singular] and فَلَكٌ [as an ism jamʿ], like حَلْقَةٌ and حَلَقٌ.
