Also, applied to a bow, Pliant. (Fr, O, Ḳ.)

Root: صفق - Entry: صَفُوقٌ Signification: B2

[In the TA, in a verse of Aboo-Dhu-eyb describing a bow, to which it seems to be there applied as an epithet, it is expl. as signifying راجعة; but I think that this is a mistranscription for رَاجِفَةٌ, meaning Quivering.]

Root: صفق - Entry: صَفُوقٌ Signification: B3

[Freytag has assigned to it three explanations which belong to صِفَاقٌ.]


صَفِيقٌ
