Al-Jawhari neglected it, and Ibn Jinni said: it is a dialect for al-ṣaqʿ with the 'ayn, meaning the region.

وأنشد: قبحت من سالفة ومن صدغ كأنها كشية ضب في صقغ

And he recited: 'You are ugly from a past time and from a temple, as if it were the skin of a lizard in ṣaqgh'.

أراد: قبحت يا سالفة من سالفة، وقبحت يا صدغ من صدغ، فحذف لعلم المخاطب بما في قوة كلامه

He intended: 'You are ugly, O past time, from a past time, and you are ugly, O temple, from a temple,' and he omitted [the repetition] because the addressee knows what is implied in his speech.

قال ابن سيده: قال: صدغ، وصقع، فجمع بين العين والغين، لأنهما مجانسان، إذ هما حرفا حلق

Ibn Sidah said: He said: ṣadgh, and ṣaqʿ, and he combined the 'ayn and the ghayn, because they are similar, as they are both throat letters.

ويروى: صقغ بالغين أيضا فلا أدري: هل هي لغة في صقع، أم احتاج إليه للقافية فحول العين غينا، لأنهما جميعا من حروف الحلق

And it is narrated: ṣaqgh with the ghayn also, so I do not know: is it a dialect for ṣaqʿ, or did he need it for the rhyme and changed the 'ayn to a ghayn, because they are both from the throat letters?

وقال أيضا لا أدري أحرك صدغ، وصقغ لغة، أم حركهما تحريكا معتبطا

And he also said: I do not know if ṣadgh and ṣaqgh are [already] a dialect, or if he moved them with a deliberate movement.
