علق

عِلْقَةٌ ذ A small garment, (S, O,) the first garment that is made for a boy: (S, O, K:) or a shirt without sleeves: or a garment in which is cut an opening for the head to be put through it, [ so that nearly one half of it falls down before the wearer and the corresponding portion behind, ] not having its two sides sewn [ together ]; it is worn by a girl; (K, TA;) like the صُدْرَة; she uses it for service and work; (TA;) and it extends to the place of the waist-band: (K, TA: [see also اـِتْبٌ:]) or a garment held in high estimation; (K, TA;) like عِلْقٌ [mentioned before]; worn by a man: one says of him who has not upon him costly garments, مَا عَلَيْهِ عِلْقَةٌ [ He has not upon him costly attire ]. (TA.) ― -b2- And A shield. (Ibn- 'Abbád, O, TA. [This last meaning is also assigned to عِلْقٌ, as mentioned before.]) -A2- And A certain tree, used for tanning. (K.) -A3- اـِبِل لَيْسَ بِهَا علِقَةٌ is a phrase mentioned by Ibn-'Abbád, (O, TA,) as meaning [app.] اصرة. (TA. [This word, in the TA, is blurred: and in the O, the place that it occupied has perished: I think that it is most probably أَصِرَّةٌ, pl. of صِرَارٌ; and therefore that the phrase means Camels not having upon them strings, or pieces of rag, bound upon their udders or teats, to prevent their young ones from sucking: for one says صَرَّ بِالنَّاقَةِ as well as صَرَّ النَّاقَةَ; and in like manner, I suppose, one may say لَيْسَ بِهَا أَصِرَّةٌ: and hence, perhaps, it may mean not having milk: see the phrase مَا بِالنَّاقَةِ عَلُوقٌ.]) -A4- [For the phrase اِسْتَأْصَلَ ا@للّٰهُ عِلْقَاتَهُِمْ, see the next paragraph but one.]
