Full Definition
رَنْقَةٌ
A small quantity of turbid water remaining in a watering-trough or tank. [And accord. to Freytag, رَنْقَآءُ occurs in the Deewán El-Hudhaleeyeen as meaning A small quantity of turbid water.] Accord. to Ibn-'Abbád, one says, صَارَ المَآءُ رَنْقَةً, or
, meaning The water became such that mud predominated in it: but the correct phrase, as given in the “Nawádir” by Lh, is, صَارَ المَآءُ رَنْقَةً وَاحِدَةً [The water became one puddle in which mud predominated]. See also رَنْقٌ.
