(O.) [See also حَازٌّ, in art. حز.] ― -b2- [Hence, app.,] ذُو عَرْكَيْنِ, as used by a poet, [the dual, it seems, being put for the sing. for the sake of the rhyme, as it ends a verse,] is a metaphorical term for The vulva of a woman; the عَرْك in its primary sense being in the camel.

عَرَكٌ ذ Fishermen; (AA, S, MA, O, K;) as also ↓ عَرَكَةٌ; (MA; [but this I do not find elsewhere;]) and عُرُوكٌ: (O, K:) one of whom is called ↓ عَرَكِىٌّ, (AA, S, MA, O, K,) meaning a fisherman who holds in his hand an iron implement having five prongs: (MA:) عَرَكٌ and ↓ عَرَكِىٌّ being like عَرَبٌ and عَرَبِىٌّ: (AA, S, O:) [i. e. عَرَكِىٌّ is the n. un.:] accord. to the K, عَرَكٌ and عُرُوكٌ are pls. of عَرَكِىٌّ; but IAth says that عُرُوكٌ is pl. of عَرَكٌ: (TA:) hence عَرَكٌ is used as meaning sailors, or mariners, (AA, S, O, K,) because they fish, not as being [properly] a name for them: (AA, S, O:) Zuheyr says, تَغْشَى الحُدَاةُ بِهِمْ حُرَّ الكَثِيبِ كَمَا يُغْشِى السَّفَائِنَ مَوْجَ اللُّجَّةِ العَرَكُ [ The camel-drivers cover with them the middle of the elevated expanse of sand like as the seamen cause the waves of the deep to cover the ships ]: but AO related this verse otherwise, saying مَوْجُ, in the nom. case, and making العَرَكُ to be an epithet applied to the موج as signifying المُتَلَاطِم [as though the meaning were, like as the colliding waves of the deep cover the ships with their surf]. (S, O.) -A2- Also i. q. صَوْتٌ [ A sound, noise, voice, &c.]; and so ↓ عَرِكٌ.

(K.)

عَرِكٌ ذ A man who throws down, or prostrates, his antagonists much, or often; syn. صِرِّيعٌ; (S, O;) in the K and in some of the copies of the S صَرِيع, like أَمِير; [which is app. a mistranscription;] (TA;) strong, or vehement, (S, * O, * K, TA,) in striving, contending, or conflicting, (K, TA,) and in might, courage, valour, or prowess, (TA,) in war, or battle, (K, TA,) and in altercation; (TA;) as also ↓ مُعَارِكٌ: (K, TA:) pl. of the former عَرِكُونَ.
