Ibn Duraid said: Al-sanaq (with harakah): is the intensity of the odor of the armpit, and Al-Muhkam added: and the body, sanaqa sanaqan.

ورجل صنق ككتف: شديد ذفر الجسد.

And a man sanaq (like katif): with a strong body odor.

وجمل صنقة ظاهر سياقه أنه كفرحة، وليس كذلك، بل هو بالتحريك، كما في العباب، أي ضخم كبير، وهكذا هو نص النوادر، وكذلك صنخة، وقبصاة وقبصة.

And a camel sanqah, its apparent context suggests it is like farhah, but it is not so, rather it is with harakah, as in Al-Abab, meaning large and big, and so it is in the text of Al-Nawadir, as are sanikhah, qabsaah, and qabsah.

والصنقة، محركة، من الحرة: ما غلظ منها وكذلك الصمقة، والصمغة.

And al-sanqah, with harakah, from the harrah: is what is thick of it, and likewise al-samqah, and al-samghah.

والصنقة: المحسنون خدمة الإبل يقال: هذه إبل صنقتها الصنقة، أي: أحسنوا القيام عليها، قاله ابن عباد، وكأنه جمع صانق، كالمصنقين.

And al-sanqah: are those who improve the service of camels. It is said: these are camels that al-sanqah have tended to, meaning: they have done well in taking care of them, said Ibn Abbad, and it seems to be a plural of sanq, like al-musannaqin.

والصناق ككتاب: الجمل البعيد الصوت في الهدير، نقله الصاغاني.

And al-sanaq like kitab: is the camel with a far-reaching sound in its humming, narrated by Al-Saghani.

والصنق، بالتحريك: الحلقة تجعل في أطراف الأروية، جمعه أصناق، عن أبي حنيفة، وقد مر ذكره في ق ط ف.

And al-sanaq, with harakah: is the ring placed on the noses of female camels, its plural is asnaq, from Abu Hanifa, and its mention has passed in q-t-f.
