Root entry · 1 derived lemma

3 صافق عِنْدَ صَفْقَةِ البَيْعِ ذ [ He struck his hand upon that of another in token of the ratification of the sale ]. (T in art. دو. [See also 6.]) ― -b2- صافقت said of a she-camel, She lay, or slept, upon one side one time and upon the other side another time: from صَفْقٌ meaning جَانِبٌ. (M. [And the same is indicated in the O.]) And فُلَانٌ يُصَافِقُ بَيْنَ جَنْبَيْهِ Such a one turns over upon this صَفْق [or side ] one time and upon the other another. (O.) And بَاتَ فُلَانٌ يُصَافِقُ [ Such a one passed the night turning over from side to side ]. (Z, TA.) ― -b3- [Accord. to the K, said of a she-camel, She was taken with the pains of parturition; i. q. مَخَضَتْ: but this is app. a mistake; for it seems to have been taken from the saying in the O, (one of the principal sources of the K,) اـِذَا مَخَضَتِ النَّاقَةُ صَافَقَتْ, which evidently means When the she-camel is taken with the pains of parturition, she turns over from side to side; as is there indicated by the context both before and after.] ― -b4- صافق بَيْنَ قَمِيصَيْنِ, (M,) or بين ثَوْبَيْنِ, (K,) He wore two shirts, (M,) or two garments, (K,) one of them over the other. (M, K.)
