رُقَارِقٌ ذ : see رَقِيقٌ, first sentence: and رُقٌّ. Also, applied to the سَرَاب [or mirage], (so in the CK,) or شَرَاب [i. e. wine or beverage], (so in copies of the K and in the O and TA,) [the former of which readings I think the more probably that which is correct, supposing the mirage to be likened to shallow water, which is thus termed, but Freytag prefers the latter reading,] i. q. رَقِقُ [app. as meaning Shallow, or perhaps thin ]; (IDrd, O, K;) and so ↓ رَقْرَاقٌ. (IDrd, O.) ― -b2- And A sword having much مَاآء [q. v.; i. e. much diversified with wavy marks, streaks, or grain; or having much lustre ]: (IDrd, K, TA:) or shining, or glistening, much. (TA.)
