صفق

صَفُوقٌ ذ An abominable acclivity or ascending road or mountain-road difficult of ascent: pl. صَفَائِقُ and صُفُقٌ. (M, K.) And A mountain, (K,) or an obstacle, or elevated portion, of mountains, (O,) such as is inaccessible. (O, K.) And A smooth, high rock: pl. صُفُقٌ. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) -A2- Also, applied to a bow, Pliant. (Fr, O, K.) ― -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. ― -b3- Freytag has assigned to it three explanations which belong to صِفَاقٌ.]
