صلع

1 صَلِعَ ذ , aor. صَلَعَ , (Msb, K,) inf. n. صَلَعٌ, (S, * O, * Msb, K, * TA,) He (a man, S, O, K *) was, or became, bald in the fore part of the head: (S, * O, * Msb, K: * but in the Msb it is said in this sense of the head:) or in the fore part of the head to the kinder part thereof: and likewise in the middle of the head. (TA.) [See also جَلِحَ The original text has a dot above the jeem. and جَلَحٌ.] Accord. to Ibn-Seenà, the baldness termed صَلَعٌ does not happen to women, because of the abundance of their moisture; nor to eunuchs, because their constitutions are nearly like those of women. (Msb.) ― -b2- [Hence,] صَلِعَتِ العُرْفُطَةُ, inf. n. as above, (tropical:) The عرفطة [a species of mimosa] dropped the heads of its branches: and had them eaten by the camels. (TA.) ― -b3- See also 7. -A2- صَلَعَ رَأْسَهُ [perhaps a mistranscription for ↓ صَلَّعَ, and primarily signifying He made his head bald in the fore part: ] (tropical:) he shaved his head. (Z, TA.) -A3- صَلَعَ said of such as is termed عِذْيَوْط, [but the verb in this sense is probably ↓ صَلَّعَ, (see this latter,)] He voided his ordure (أَحْدَثَ) on the occasion of جِمَاع. (TA.)
