[Also, from the same Persian original, in post-classical times, but variously pronounced by moderns, دَلَقٌ andدَلِقٌ↓ and دَلْقٌ and (now generally by the vulgar) دِلْقٌ; the third being perhaps a contraction of the first, like as شَعْرٌ is of شَعَرٌ, or, as also the fourth, of the second, like as كَتْفٌ and كِتْفٌ are contractions of كَتِفٌ; A certain kind of garment; first probably applied to one made of the fur of the animal so called: then applied to a kind of garment formerly worn by the kádees and other 'ulamà and the khateebs of mosques, (see De Sacy's Chrest. Ar., 2nd ed., vol. ii. pp. 267-269,) and by other persons of religious orders: and lastly, to a kind of patched garment worn by many devotees, reputed saints, and darweeshes; also called مُرَقَّعَةٌ (q. v.) and خِرْقَةٌ. It occurs in a piece of post-classical poetry, quoted in p. 45 of the Arabic text of the vol. of the Chrest. above referred to, necessarily with the ل quiescent; probably by poetic license, or in conformity with the common vulgar pronunciation.]
