طَلْقٌ [Loosed from his bond, set loose or free, or], as expl. by IAar, let go; as also طَلِيقٌ and مُطْلَقٌ : and a man not having anything upon him, as expl. by Ks: and طَلْقُ اليَدَيْنِ a camel not having the fore legs bound. You say, حُبِسَ طَلْقًا, or , and with damm, [i. e. طُلْقًا,] accord. to the K, but correctly with two dammehs, [i. e. ,] He was imprisoned without shackle and without bond. See also طُلُقٌ, first sentence.
2 [Hence,] طَلْقُ اللِّسَانِ, and اللسان, and اللسان, and اللسان, Eloquent, or chaste, in speech, and sweet therein: and اللِّسَانِ and [free from impediment of the tongue; or] eloquent, or chaste in speech. And لِسَانٌ طَلْقٌ ذَلْقٌ, and ذَلِيقٌ, طَلِيقٌ , and طُلُقٌ ذُلُقٌ, and ذُلَقٌ, but the last two of these were unknown to As, and the latter of them was disallowed by IAar, and ذَلِقٌ, [expl. in the K as meaning A tongue having sharpness; but correctly] meaning a tongue free from impediment, or eloquent, or chaste in speech, (ذُو ٱنْطِلَاقٍ,) and sharp.
3 And طَلْقُ اليَدَيْنِ, and اليدين, and اليدين, and اليدين, Liberal, bountiful, munificent, or generous; applied to a man: and in like manner, a woman: [or] a woman is termed طَلْقَةُ اليَدَيْنِ: and so, accord to AZ, طَلْقُ الوَجْهِ; which [generally] has another meaning, expl. in what follows. And يَدُهُ طَلْقٌ His hand is liberal; syn. بِسْطٌ; (TA in art. بسط;) and so : or the latter signifies opened; and so مَطْلُوقَةٌ .
4 And طَلْقُ الوَجْهِ, and الوجه, and الوجه, and الوجه, and الوجه, Laughing, or happy, or cheerful, and bright, in the face, or countenance: or cheerful, or happy, displaying openness and pleasantness, in the face; and so طَلْقٌ alone: and الوجه open and pleasant, and goodly, in countenance: and طَلِيقٌ alone, joyful, and open or cheer- ful, in countenance. (TA. [And it is there said that the pl. of طَلْقٌ is طَلْقَات: but this is app. a mistranscription for طُلْقَانٌ or طِلْقَانٌ.]) أُوْجُهٌ is not allowable, except in poetry.

Er-Rá'ee says, فَلَمَّا عَلَتْهُ الشَّمْسُ فِى يَوْمِ طَلْقَةٍ meaning يَوْمِ لَيْلَةٍ طَلْقَةٍ [And when the sun came upon him, or it,] in a day of a night in which was neither cold nor wind; i. e., in a day after such a night; for the Arabs commence with the night, before the day: and the phrase فِى يَوْمِ طَلْقَةٍ occurs in like manner in a verse of Dhu-r-Rummeh.
