ومؤق العين: طرفها مما يلي الأنف.

And the 'mūq' of the eye is its corner that is near the nose.

واللحاظ: طرفها الذي يلي الأذن، والجمع آماق، وأماق، أيضا مثل آبار وأبآر.

And the 'lāḥẓ' is its corner that is near the ear, and its plural is 'āmāq' and 'amāq', also like 'ābār' and 'abār'.

ومأقى العين: لغة في مؤق العين، وهو فعلى وليس بفعل، لان الميم من الكلمة، وإنما زيد في آخر الياء للالحاق، فلم يجدوا له نظيرا يلحقونه به، لان فعلى بكسر الام نادر لا أخت لها، فألحق بمفعل، فلهذا جمعوه على مآق على التوهم.

And 'ma'qā al-'ayn' is a variant pronunciation for 'mūq al-'ayn', and it is on the pattern 'fa'lā' and not 'fa'al', because the 'mīm' is part of the word. The 'yā'' was added at the end for assimilation, and they did not find a parallel to assimilate it to, because 'fa'lā' with a kasra on the 'lām' is rare and has no counterpart, so it was assimilated to 'maf'al'. For this reason, they pluralized it as 'mā'āq' by assumption.

ليس في ذوات الاربعة مفعل بكسر العين إلا حرفان: مأقى العين، ومأوى الابل

There are only two words with four letters on the pattern 'maf'al' with a kasra on the 'ayn': 'ma'qā al-'ayn' and 'ma'wā al-ibil'.

والكلام كله مفعل بالفتح، نحو رميته مرمى، ودعوته مدعى، وغزوته مغزى.

And all the words are on the pattern 'maf'al' with a fatha, such as 'ramaytuhu marman' (I shot it, a shooting place), 'da'awtuhu mad'an' (I invited him, an invitation place), and 'ghazawtuhu maghzan' (I invaded it, an invasion place).
