غلق

مِغْلَقٌ ذ : see غَلَقٌ. ― -b2- Also, (S, O, K, TA,) and ↓ مِغْلَاقٌ is a dial. var. thereof in this sense, (TA,) An arrow, (K,) i. e. any arrow, (S, O,) used in the game called المَيْسِر: (S, O, K:) or, (K,) accord. to Lth, (O,) المِغْلَقُ signifies السَّهْمُ السّابِعُ فِى مُضَعَّفِ المَيْسِرِ [i. e. the seventh arrow, app. belonging to the class, of the arrows of the game of الميسر, to which manifold portions are assigned; for المُضَعَّفُ as used in relation to the game called الميسر I do not find expl. otherwise than as an appellation of “ the second of the arrows termed الغُفْل, to which are assigned no portion; ” (see art. ضعف, and see also سَفِيحٌ;) and this cannot be here meant, as the seventh arrow (which is commonly called المُعَلَّى) has seven portions assigned to it: therefore it seems that مُضَعَّف is here used, if not mistakenly, in a sense which, though admissible, is unusual in a case of this kind]: (O, K:) pl. مَغَالِقُ: (S, O, K: in the CK [erroneously] مَغَالِيقُ:) or المُغَالِقُ is one of the epithets applied to the winning arrows, and is not one of their [particular] names; (O, K;) they being those that make what is played-for to be a forfeit to the player (تُغْلِقُ الخَطَرَ لِلْقَامِرِ): so accord. to Az, who says that Lth has made a mistake in his explanation. (O.)
