Parallel reading

اللُّقْوَةُ، بالفتح: داءٌ في الوجه؛ زاد الأزهري: يعوج منه الشدق.

Al-luqwah, with fatha: a disease in the face; Al-Azhari added: the corner of the mouth becomes crooked from it.

اللَّقْوَةُ مَرَضٌ يَنْجَذِبُ لَهُ شِقُّ الوَجْهِ إِلَى جِهَةٍ غَيْرِ طَبِيعِيَّةٍ وَلاَ يَحْسُنُ الْتِقَاءُ الشَّفَتَيْنِ وَلاَ تَنْطَبِقُ إِحْدَى الْعَيْنَيْنِ.

Al-luqwah is a disease by which one side of the face is drawn to an unnatural direction, and the meeting of the lips is not good, and one of the eyes does not close.

يُقَالُ مِنْهُ: لَقِيَ الرَّجُلُ، كَعُنِيَ لُقًى؛

It is said from it: the man was afflicted, as in 'aniya, with luqan.

لَقِيَ، كَرَضِيَ، لُقُوَّةً فَهُوَ مُلْقُوٌّ: أَصَابَتْهُ اللَّقْوَةُ.

Laqiya, as in 'adiya, luqwatan, so he is mulqawwan: he was afflicted with al-luqwah.

وَلَقَوْتُهُ: أَجْرَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ؛

And I laqawtuhu: I caused that to happen to him;

وَاللَّقْوَةُ، وَيُكْسَرُ: الْمَرْأَةُ السَّرِيعَةُ اللَّقَاحِ كَالنَّاقَةِ،

And al-luqwah, and it can be with kasra: the woman who is quick to conceive like a she-camel,

وَهِيَ الَّتِي تُلْقَحُ لأَوَّلِ قُرْعَةٍ، وَكَذَلِكَ الْفَرَسُ،

And she is the one who conceives on the first attempt, and likewise the horse,

الْفَتْحُ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ وَالنَّاقَةِ، عَنِ ابْنِ الأَعْرَابِيِّ، وَهُوَ الأَفْصَحُ؛

The fatha is for the woman and the she-camel, from Ibn Al-A'rabi, and it is the most eloquent;

وَالْكَسْرُ فِي النَّاقَةِ عَنِ ابْنِ الأَعْرَابِيِّ، وَفِي الْمَرْأَةِ عَنِ الْفَرَّاءِ؛

And the kasra is for the she-camel from Ibn Al-A'rabi, and for the woman from Al-Farra';

وَأَنْشَدَ: حَمَلَتْ ثَلاَثَةً فَوَلَدَتْ تَمَاً فَأُمُّ لَقْوَةٍ وَأَبٌ قَبِيسُ

And he recited: She carried three and gave birth to twins, so she is the mother of Luqwah and Abu Qabis is the father.

وَمَثَلُهُ: لَقْوَةٌ صَادَفَتْ قَبِيساً، يُضْرَبُ لِسُرْعَةِ اتِّفَاقِ الأَخَوَيْنِ فِي التَّحَابُّبِ وَالْمَوَدَّةِ،

And its proverb is: Luqwah encountered Qabis, it is said for the quick agreement of two siblings in affection and love,

وَالْقَبِيسُ: الْفَحْلُ السَّرِيعُ الإِلْقَاحِ، أَيْ لاَ إِبْطَاءَ عِنْدَهُمَا فِي النَّتَاجِ.

And Al-Qabis: the stallion quick to impregnate, meaning there is no delay for them in producing offspring.

وَاللَّقْوَةُ: الْعُقَابُ الأُنْثَى،

And Al-luqwah: the female eagle,

بِالْفَتْحِ وَالْكَسْرِ عَنِ الْجَوْهَرِيِّ.

With fatha and kasra from Al-Jauhari.

وَفِي كِتَابِ الْقَالِي: اللَّقْوَةُ، بِالْكَسْرِ: الْعُقَابُ، وَقَدْ يُقَالُ بِالْفَتْحِ أَيْضاً.

And in the book of Al-Qali: Al-luqwah, with kasra: the eagle, and it may also be said with fatha.

وَقَالَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ: سُمِّيَتْ لَقْوَةً لِسَعَةِ أَشْدَاقِهَا.

And Abu Ubaidah said: It was named luqwah for the wideness of its beak.

أَوْ هِيَ الْخَفِيفَةُ السَّرِيعَةُ الاخْتِطَافِ؛

Or it is the light, swift one that snatches;

ج لِقَاءٌ، عَنِ الأُمَوِيِّ؛

Plural: liqa', from Al-Umavi;

وَأَلْقَاءٌ، الأَخِيرُ عَلَى حَذْفِ الزَّائِدِ وَلَيْسَ بِقِيَاسٍ.

And alqa', the latter is by omitting the extra letter and is not standard.

وَذُو اللَّقْوَةِ: عُقَابُ الْغَدَانِيِّ التَّمِيمِيِّ مِنْ بَنِي غُدَانَةَ بْنِ يَرْبُوعِ بْنِ حَنْظَلَةَ بْنِ مَالِكِ بْنِ زَيْدِ مَنَاةَ بْنِ تَمِيمٍ، لَهُ ذِكْرٌ.

And Dhu Al-Luqwah: the eagle of Al-Ghadani Al-Tamimi from the Banu Ghudanah bin Yarbu' bin Hanzalah bin Malik bin Zayd Manah bin Tamim, he is mentioned.

وَمِمَّا يُسْتَدْرَكُ عَلَيْهِ: دَلْوٌ لَقْوَةٌ: لَيِّنَةٌ لاَ تَنْبَسِطُ سَرِيعاً لِلَيْنِهَا؛

And among what is to be added: a luqwah bucket: soft, it does not expand quickly due to its softness;

قَالَ الرَّاجِزُ: شَرُّ الدِّلاَءِ اللَّقْوَةُ الْمُلاَزِمَةُ وَالْبَكَرَاتُ شَرُّهُنَّ الصَّائِمُ

The poet said: The worst of buckets is the clinging luqwah, and the young she-camels, their worst is the fasting one.

وَالْقَالِي حَكَاهُ ابْنُ بَرِّيٍّ عَنِ الْمَهْلَبِيِّ.

And Al-Qali, Ibn Barri narrated it from Al-Mahlabi.
