Full Definition

اخلولق , said of the back (مَتْن) of a horse, It was, or became, smooth; [like خَلِقَ and خَلُقَ; or very smooth; for] the verb is of a form intensive in signification. (TA. [See its part. n., مَخْلَوْلِقٌ, below.])
2 Said of a رَسْم [i. e. a trace, or a remain or relic marking the place of a house or the like and cleaving to the ground,] It was, or became, even with the ground.
3 اخلولق السَّحَابُ The clouds became equable, or uniform, their sides becoming conjoined; or, as some say, they became smooth; and, or as some say, they became adapted, or disposed, to rain; as though they were rendered smooth: or they became collected together after separation, and prepared to rain. And اخلولقت السَّمَآءُأَنْ تَمْطُرَ The sky was near, and likely, to rain.
