Full Definition
بَهَقٌ
[The mild species of leprosy termed “alphus,” or “vitiligo alba;” in Hebrew
בֹּהַק ;] a whiteness, less than what is termed
بَرَصٌ, that comes upon the external skin of a man; a whiteness that affects the skin, or body, differing from the colour of the latter; not from what is termed
بَرَص, or not
بَرَص: and, accord. to IF, a blackness that affects the skin; [i. e. the species of leprosy termed “melas,” or “lepra maculosa nigra;”] or a colour differing from that of the skin: a thin whiteness that affects the exterior of the cuticle, by reason of a bad state of the temperament of the part, inclining to coldness, and the predominance of the phlegm over the blood: the black [species] thereof alters (يُغَيِّرُ, in the CK يَعْتَرِى,) the skin to blackness, by reason of the mixing of the black bile with the blood.
