لقح

لاقِحٌ ذ (IAar, S, K) and ↓ لَقُوحٌ (K) and ↓ مَلْقُوحَةٌ (Msb) A she-camel having just conceived, or become pregnant; (IAar, K;) as also قَارِحٌ: afterwards, when her pregnancy has become manifestly apparent, she is termed خَلِفَةٌ: (IAar:) pl. of the former لَوَاقِحُ (K) and لُقَّحٌ; (TA;) and of the second, لُقُحٌ. (L, K, TA: in the CK لُقَّحٌ.) ― -b2- رِيَاحٌ لَوَاقِحُ (S, K, &c.,) (tropical:) Pregnant winds; so called because they bear the water and the clouds, and turn the latter over and about, and then cause them to send down rain; (TA;) or because they become pregnant, and then impregnate the clouds: (IJ:) the sing. is رِيحٌ لَاقِحٌ, the contr. of which is termed رِيحٌ عَقِيمٌ [or “ a barren wind ”]: (ISd:) or ريح لاقح signifies ذَاتُ لَقَلَاحٍ [ possessing that which impregnates ]; like as دِرْهَمٌ وَازِنٌ signifies ذُو وَزْنِ; رَجُلٌ رَامِحٌ, ذُو رُمْحٍ: (AHeyth:) or رياح لواقح signifies impregnating, or fecundating, winds; (S, K;) as also ↓ مَلَاقِحُ [pl. of مُلْقِحَةٌ]: (K:) or it is not allowable to say مَلَاقِحُ; (S;) but this is the regular form of the word; because the wind impregnates the clouds; (IJ;) and thus لواقح is extr.: or, as some say, the proper original word is مُلْقِحَةٌ; but the winds do not impregnate unless they are themselves pregnant; as though they were pregnant with good, and, when they raised the clouds, transmitted to them that good. (S.) ― -b3- حَرْبٌ لَاقِحٌ (K) (tropical:) War pregnant [ with great events. ] (TA.)
