Full Definition

أَذْلَقُ , and its pl. ذُلْقٌ: see ذَلِقٌ.
2 الحُرُوفُ الذُّلْقُ The letters [that are pronounced by means] of the tip of the tongue and the lip: sing. أَذْلَقُ: they are six; [comprised in the phrase مُرْ بِنَفْلٍ:] three of these are termed ذَوْلَقِيَّةٌ , namely, ر and ل and ن; and three, شَفَوِيَّةٌ, namely, ب and ف and م: or all of these six letters are termed ذَوْلَقِيَّةٌ . (TA voce عَسْجَدٌ.) Every quadriliteral-radical or quinqueliteral-radical word [that is genuine Arabic] contains one or two or three of these six letters: every word of either of these classes that does not contain one of these six letters is to be judged adventitious: all the other letters are termed الحُرُوفُ المُصْمَتَهُ.
