Al-haṭqu, with vowelization of the second letter, is neglected by the community, and it means: rapid walking.

وقد سبق له في ه ق ط أن الهقط، بالفتح: سرعة المشي، عن ابن دريد

And it has been previously mentioned for it [this root] under H-Q-Ṭ that al-haqṭu, with the opening vowel, means rapid walking, according to Ibn Duraid.

وهذا مقلوبه، فيتعين حينئذ أن يكون بالفتح، لا بالتحريك، فتأمل ذلك.

And this is its inversion; it must then be with the opening vowel, not with the vowelization of the second letter. So ponder that.
