حمق
Root entry · 1 derived lemma2 حمّقهُ أحمق حمق حمقه حمقة , inf. n. تَحْمِيقٌ, He ascribed to him حُمْق [i. e. foolishness, or stupidity, &c.]. (S, K.) ― -b2- حَمَّقَتْهُ الهَجْعَةُ The light sleep in the first part of the night rendered him like the أَحْمَق [i. e. foolish, or stupid, &c.]: so says IKh; and he cites, from a poet, the phrase حَمَّقَتْهُ بِهَجْعَةٍ; in which the ب is redundant, and the noun occupies the place of one in the nom. case. (TA.) ― -b3- [And hence, if correct,] حُمِّقَ He drank wine: (K:) or he became intoxicated, so that his reason departed: thus explained by IAmb; but disallowed by EzZejjájee. (IB, TA.)
