حُمَيْقَى حميقى حميقي : see حُمَاقٌ.

حُمَيْقَاآءُ حميقاآء : see حُمْقٌ: -A2- and حُمَاقٌ.

حُمَيِّقَةٌ حميقه حميقة : see what next follows.

حَمُّوقَةٌ حموقه حموقة : see what next follows.

حُمَّيْقَةٌ حميقه حميقة , (K,) but in the Tekmileh with teshdeed to the ى and with kesr to the same, [app. ↓ حُمَّيْقَةٌ,] (TA,) and ↓ حَمُّوقَةٌ, (K,) Foolish, or stupid, (أَحْمَق,) in the utmost degree. (Ibn- 'Abbád, K, TA.) [It seems to be implied in the K that أُحْمُوقَةٌ signifies the same: but see this word below.]

أَحْمَقُ ذ (S, Mgh, Msb, K, &c.) and ↓ حَمِقٌ (S, Msb) and ↓ حَمْقَان [whether with or without tenween is not shown] (Sb, TA) Foolish, or stupid; i. e. unsound in intellect or understanding; (T, Mgh, Msb;) and stagnant, or dull, therein; (T, Mgh;) or deficient, or defective, therein; IF, Mgh;) or haring little, or no, intellect or understanding: (S, K:) fem. of the first حَمْقَاآءُ; (S, Msb;) and of the second حَمِقَةٌ: (TA:) pl. of the first, applied to men and to women, (S, K,) حُمْقٌ, (so in two copies of the S,) or حُمُقٌ, with two dammehs, (K,) and حَمْقَى and حَمَاقَى (S, K) and حُمَاقَى (Sgh, K) and حِمَاقٌ. (Ibn- 'Abbád, K.) Accord. to some, أَحْمَقُ is from the phrase اِنْحَمَقَتِ السُّوقُ: and accord. to some, from the phrase لَيَالٍ مُحْمِقَاتٌ, because the احمق deceives one at first by what he says. (TA.) The sounds of wailing for the dead, and trilling, or quavering, in playing, are termed أَحْمَقَانِ because of the حُمْق of the person from whom they proceed. (Mgh.) ― -b2- البَقْلَةُ الحَمْقَاآءُ (S, K) and بَقْلَةُ الحَمْقَاآءِ, (K,) the latter for بَقْلَةُ الحَبَّةِ الحَمْقَاآءِ, i. q. الرِّجْلَةُ [ Garden purslane ]; (S, ISd, K;) which is the name applied to it by the vulgar; (ISd, TA;) the chief of herbs, or leguminous plants: called by those names because exuding mucilage (مُلَعِّبَةٌ), so that it is likened to the أَحْمَق whose slaver is flowing: IDrd says, they assert that it is so called because it grows in the tracks of men, so that it is trodden upon; and in water-courses, so that the water uproots it: IF says that it is so called because of its weakness: and it is said that some persons, hating 'Áïsheh, called it بَقْلَةُ عَائِشَةَ; but this is one of their fanciful assertions; for such was its name in the time of utter paganism: so says Sgh. (TA.) ― -b3- [أَحْمَقُ also signifies More, and most, foolish, or stupid, &c. Hence,] it is said in a prov., أَحْمَقُ مِنْ رِجْلَةٍ [ More foolish, or stupid, than a plant of gardenpurslane: explained by what precedes]. (TA.) [See also another prov. voce ثَمَانُونَ.] And in a trad., أَحْمَقُ الحُمْقِ الفُجُورُ [ The most foolish of foolishness, or the most stupid of stupidness, is vice, or immorality, or unrighteousness ]. (A in art. كيس.)

أَحْمُوقَةٌ ذ is from الحُمْقُ, like أُحْدُوثَةٌ from الحَدِيثُ, and أُعْجُوبَةٌ from العَجَبُ: (TA:) it signifies An action, or a deed, of those that are done by the حَمْقَى [i. e. foolish, or stupid, persons ]; (Mgh;) [ a foolish, or stupid, action or deed: ] it is like ↓ حُمُوقَةٌ, which means an action, a practice, or a habit, in which is حُمْق [i. e. foolishness, or stupidity, &c.]. (TA.) One says, وَقَعَ فُلَانٌ فِى أُحْمُوقَةٍ [ Such a one fell into the commission of a foolish, or stupid, action, &c.]. (TA.) [See حُمَّيْقَةٌ.]

مُحْمِقٌ محمق and مُحْمِقَةٌ (S, K) A woman who brings forth a child that is أَحْمَق [i. e. foolish, &c.]; (S;) or who brings forth حَمْقَى [i. e. foolish children ]: (K:) or, accord. to IDrd, the latter has this signification; but the former signifies a man who begets حَمْقَى; and he does not allow its application to a woman. (TA.) ― -b2- المُحْمِقَاتُ (tropical:) The nights [ that make a fool of one; i. e.] during the whole of which the moon is above the horizon but intercepted by clouds; so that one imagines that he has arrived at the time of morning; (A, O, K, TA;) because he sees light, but sees not the moon: derived from الحُمْقُ. (TA.) One says, غَرَّنِى غُرُورَ المُحْمِقَاتِ (tropical:) [ He, or it, deceived me with the deceiving of the nights thus called ]. (TA.) And you say, سِرْنَا فِى لَيَالِ مُحْمِقَاتٍ (tropical:) [ We journeyed during such nights ]; because the rider therein thinks that he has arrived at the time of morning until he becomes weary. (TA.)

مِحْمَاقٌ محماق A woman who is accustomed to bring forth حَمْقَى [i. e. foolish children ]. (S, K.)

مَحْمُوقٌ محموق A man [or child] affected with حُمَاق [q. v.]. (A 'Obeyd, S.)

(TA * in the present art., and S and TA &c. in arts. بر and فجر.) Hence, in the Kur [xx. 100], فَاـِنَّهُ يَحْمِلُ يَوْمَ القِيَامَةِ وِزْرًا [ He shall bear, on the day of resurrection, a heavy burden ]. (TA.) Hence also, in the Kur [vii. 189], حَمَلَتْ حَمْلًا خَفِيفًا [ She bore a light burden ]; (S, TA;) i. e., [as some say,] the seminal fluid. (TA.) Hence also, in the Kur [xxix. 60], وَكَأَيِّنْ مِنْ دَابَّةٍ لَا تَحْمِلُ رِزْقَهَا [ And how many a beast is there that does not bear its sustenance ! ], meaning, (assumed tropical:) does not provide its sustenance, but is sustained by God.
