Al-ra'eeq, like ameer and ghuraab, was neglected by Al-Jawhari. Al-Layth said: It is a sound heard from the belly of a beast.

وفي التهذيب: في بطن الناقة وكذلك الوعيق والوعاق

And in Al-Tahdheeb: It is in the belly of the she-camel, and likewise Al-wa'eeq and Al-wa'aaq.

وقال ابن خالويه: الرعاق: صوت بطن الفرس إذا جرى

And Ibn Khilawayh said: Al-ru'aaq: the sound of a horse's belly when it runs.

وقال ابن دريد. الرعاق مثل الوقيب والخضيعة، وهو الصوت الذى يسمع من جوف الفرس إذا عدا، أو صوت جردانه إذا تقلقل في تنبه وهو قول الأصمعي

And Ibn Duraid said: Al-ru'aaq is like Al-waqeeb and Al-khudhee'ah, and it is the sound heard from the interior of a horse's belly when it runs, or the sound of its intestines when they move and rustle, and this is the opinion of Al-Asma'i.

وقال الليث: الرعاق: صوت يسمع من قنب الدابة الذكر، كما يسمع الوعيق من ثفر الأنثى

And Al-Layth said: Al-ru'aaq: a sound heard from the flank of a male animal, just as Al-wa'eeq is heard from the flank of a female.

والصواب ما قاله ابن الأعرابي قال ابن بري: الرعيق والرعاق، والوعيق والوعاق بمعنى، عن ابن الأعرابي، وهو صوت البطن من الحجر، وجردان الفرس، وقيل: هو صوت بطن المقرف

And the correct view is what Ibn Al-A'rabi said. Ibn Biri said: Al-ra'eeq and Al-ru'aaq, and Al-wa'eeq and Al-wa'aaq have the same meaning, according to Ibn Al-A'rabi. It is the sound of the belly from stones, and the intestines of a horse, and it is said: it is the sound of the belly of the 'muqarrif'.

وقال اللحياني: ليس للرعاق ولا لأخواته كالضغيب والوعيق والأزمل فعل

And Al-Lihyani said: Al-ru'aaq and its counterparts like Al-dagheeb, Al-wa'eeq, and Al-azmal do not have a verb form.
