2 تفتّقت المَاشِيَةُ and The cattle became swollen, or inflated, in the flanks, by reason of fatness: in consequence of their becoming so, they die; or, sometimes, they become free from the disease: one says of a camel, تفتّق سِمَنًا. And تفتّقت خَوَاصِرُ الغَنَمِ The flanks of the sheep, or goats, became dilated by reason of much pasturing upon herbs, or leguminous plants. It is said in a description of the Prophet, كَانَ فِى خَاصِرَتَيْهِ, meaning [There was in his flanks] a flaccidity, or laxness: or a swollen, or an inflated, state: or a dilatation, which is approved in men, but disapproved in women.
3 تفتّق بِالكَلَامِ [see فُتُقٌ] He was diffuse, or profuse, in speech [as though bursting therewith].
