مُرْتَفِقٌ ذ Leaning upon his elbow. (S, O.) -A2- Also Full, standing, and continuing, or remaining: (O, K:) or nearly full: so explained by IAar as occurring in the following verse of 'Obeyd Ibn-El-Abras, (O,) describing rain that had filled the low tracts of ground: (TA in art. صوح:) فَأَصْبَحَ الرَّوْضُ وَالقِيعَانُ مُمْرِعَةً مِنْ بَيْنِ مُرْتَفِقٍ مِنْهَا وَمُنْصَاحِ [ And the meadows, and the plain, or soft, low tracts, became abundant with herbage, partly by what was full, &c., in consequence thereof, and partly by what was flowing, running upon the surface of the ground ]: (O:) or, as some relate it, مُتْرَعَةً [i. e. “ filled ”]; and مُرْتَتِقٍ, which means herbage “ of which the blossoms have not yet come forth from their calyxes; ” and مُنْصَاح [accord. to this reading] meaning herbage “ of which the blossoms have appeared: ” (TA in art. صوح:) [or, accord. to the reading مُرْتَتِقٍ, the meaning may be, “ partly such as were compact thereof, ” i. e. of the meadows &c., “ and partly such as were cracked ” by the heat and drought:] another reading is مِنْ بَيْنِ مُرْتَفِقٍ مِنْهَا وَمِنْ طَاحِى من طاحى meaning “ of what was flowing and going away. ” (TA ubi suprà.) [Nearly the whole of this art. is wanting in the copies of the TA to which I have had access.]
