خلق

خَلِيقٌ خليق , applied to a man, (S, TA,) Perfect, or complete, in make; (TA;) as also ↓ مُخْتَلَقٌ: (Ham p. 561:) or perfect, or complete, in make, and just in proportion; (S, TA;) and so ↓ the latter; (S, K, TA; [in the CK, erroneously, مُخْتَلِق; in the TA expressly said to be of the pass. form;]) fem. of the former with ة: (TA:) or ↓ both signify goodly, or beautiful, in make: or the former is not applied to a man; but ↓ each, with ة, signifies a woman having [ a goodly ] body and make: (TA, in which this signification is said to be tropical:) and خَلِيقٌ and خَلِيقَةٌ are alike, (JK, TA,) accord. to Lh, (TA,) in this last sense: (JK:) or the former of these two may be pl. [or coll. gen. n.] of the latter, like as شَعِيرٌ is of شَعِيرَةٌ: (TA:) and ↓ مُخْتَلَقٌ signifies anything just in proportion: (IF, TA:) ↓ مُخَلَّقٌ, also, signifies perfect, or complete, in make; applied to a camel (جمل): (TA:) [or جمل, here may be a mistranscription for حَمْل; for] ↓ مُضْغَةٌ مُخَلَّقَةٌ signifies [ a fœtus when it has become like a lump of flesh ] perfect, or complete, in make; (Fr, S, K;) so in the Kur xxii. 5; (Fr, TA;) or of which the make has become apparent. (IAar, TA.) ― -b2- Also Adapted or disposed [ by nature ], apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, proper, competent, or worthy; (KL, PS;) syn. جَدِيرٌ (S, K) and حَرِىٌّ (TA) [and حَقِيقٌ &c.: pl. خُلَقَاآءُ, and Freytag adds خُلُقٌ]. You say, فُلَانٌ خَلِيقٌ لِكَذَا, i. e. جَدِيرٌ بِهِ [ Such a one is adapted or disposed by nature, &c., for such a thing ]; as though he were one of those in whom that was reckoned to be, and in whom the symptoms, signs, or tokens, thereof were seen. (S.) [And هُوَ خَلِيقٌ لِلْخَيْرِ He is adapted or disposed by nature to good; i. e., to be, or to do, or to effect, or to produce, what is good. ] And اـِنَّهُ لَخَلِيقٌ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ذٰلِكَ and بِأَنْ يفعل ذلك and لِأَنْ يفعل ذلك and منْ أَنْ يفعل ذلك [ Verily he is adapted or disposed &c. for doing that; or worthy to do it ]: so says Lh: and he adds that the Arabs say, يَا خَلِيقُ بِذٰلِكَ, using the nom. case; and يَا خَلِيقًا بِذٰلِكَ, using the accus. case; [the latter being the usual form; both meaning O thou who art adapted or disposed &c. for that; ] but ISd says, I know not the reason of this. (TA.) And لِذَاكَ ↓ هٰذَا مَخْلَقَةٌ, i. e. مَجْدَرَةٌ لَهُ [ This is one that is adapted or disposed &c. for that ]: (S, K: *) and لَكَ ↓ هٰذَا الأَمْرُ مَخْلَقَةٌ [ This affair, or thing, is one that is adapted &c. for thee ]: and مِنْ ذٰلِكَ ↓ اـِنَّهُ مَخْلَقَةٌ [ Verily it is adapted &c. for that ]: like مَجْدَرَةٌ and مَحْرَاةٌ and مَقْمَنَةٌ: and in like manner one says of two, and of more than two, and of a feminine: so says Lh. (TA.) [↓ مَخْلَقَةٌ properly signifies A place, and hence a thing, an affair, and a person, adapted or disposed &c.: it is of the same class as مَعْسَاةٌ and مَظِنَّةٌ and مَئِنَّةٌ.] خَلِيقٌ also signifies Habituated, or accustomed. (PS, TA. *) And one says, اـِنَّهُ لَخَلِيقٌ, i. e. لَحَرِىٌّ, meaning Verily it is probable; or likely to happen or be, or to have happened or been. (TA.) And هُوَ خَلِيقٌ لَهُ He, or it, is like to him, or it. (JK, TA.) ― -b3- سَحَابَةٌ خَلِيقَةٌ: see خَلِقٌ. ― -b4- [See also خَلِيقَةٌ, which, in several senses, is a fem. epithet used as a subst.]
