Parallel reading

الحقوة: وجع البطن.
Al-hiqwah: pain of the abdomen.
تقول منه حقي الرجل فهو محقو.
You say of it, 'The man had abdominal pain, so he is one afflicted with it.'
وحقو السهم: مستدقه من مؤخره مما يلي الريش.
And the hiqwu of an arrow: its pointed end from its rear, near the fletching.
والحقو: الإزار، وثلاثة أحقو، وأصله أحقو على أفعل فحذف، لانه ليس في الاسماء اسم آخره حرف علة وقبله ضمة، فإذا أدى قياس إلى ذلك رفض، فأبدلت من الضمة الكسرة فار آخره ياء مكسورا ما قبلها، فإذا صار كذلك كان بمنزلة القاضى والغازي في سقوط الياء لا جتماع الساكنين.
And al-hiqwu: the loincloth, and three ahqwu. Its origin is 'ahquw' on the pattern 'af'al', so it was deleted because there is no noun ending in a weak letter preceded by a dammah. When a pattern leads to that, it is rejected, and the dammah is replaced by a kasrah, so its end becomes a yaa' with the preceding letter in kasrah. When it becomes like that, it is like 'al-qadi' and 'al-ghazi' in the dropping of the yaa' due to the meeting of two silent letters.
والكثير حقى، وهو فعول، قلبت الواو الاولى ياء لتدغم في التى بعدها.
And the common plural is hiqaa, and it is on the pattern 'fuhool'. The first waw was changed to a yaa' to be assimilated into the one after it.
والحقو أيضا: الخصر ومشد الازار.
And al-hiqwu also: the waist and the tie of the loincloth.
