سوق

3 ساوقهُ ذ He vied, or competed, with him, in driving: (K: [in the CK, for فى السَّوْقِ, is put فى السُّوْقِ:]) or he vied, or competed, with him to decide which of them twain was the stronger; from the phrase قَامَتِ الحَرْبُ عَلَى سَاقٍ. (S.) [Hence,] one says بَعِيرٌ يُسَاوِقُ الصَّيْدَ (tropical:) [ A camel that vies with the animals of the chase in driving on, or in strength ]. (JK, Ibn-'Abbád, O, K, TA.) ― -b2- مُسَاوَقَةٌ is also syn. with مُتَابَعَةٌ [app. as meaning (assumed tropical:) The making to be consecutive, or successive, for it is added], as though driving on one another, or as though one portion were driving on another. (TA. [See 6, its quasi-pass.].) ― -b3- [Freytag also assigns to ساوق the meaning of He, or it, followed ( secutus fuit ), as on the authority of the Hamáseh; but without pointing out the page; and it is not in his index of words explained therein.]
