(TA.) In the saying of a rájiz, لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ وَالأَجَلِّ البَاقِى أَنْ لَنْ يَرُدَّ القَدَرَ الرَّوَاقِى [the meaning may be, Assuredly thou knowest, by the Most Majestic, the Everlasting, that the female charmers will not repel, or avert, that which is decreed; or, that the potent charmers will not &c.: for] the pl. may be that of ↓ رَاقِيَةٌ as an epithet applied to a woman, or of this same word as an intensive epithet applied to a man.
