Full Definition
عِلْقَةٌ
A small garment, the first garment that is made for a boy: or a shirt without sleeves: or a garment in which is cut an opening for the head to be put through it, [so that nearly one half of it falls down before the wearer and the corresponding portion behind,] not having its two sides sewn [together]; it is worn by a girl; like the
صُدْرَة; she uses it for service and work; and it extends to the place of the waist-band: (K, TA: [see also إِتْبٌ:]) or a garment held in high estimation; like عِلْقٌ [mentioned before]; worn by a man: one says of him who has not upon him costly garments, مَا عَلَيْهِ عِلْقَةٌ [He has not upon him costly attire].
2 And A shield. (Ibn- 'Abbád, O, TA. [This last meaning is also assigned to عِلْقٌ, as mentioned before.])
def.2 And A certain tree, used for tanning.
def.3 إِبِل لَيْسَ بِهَا علِقَةٌ is a phrase mentioned by Ibn-'Abbád, as meaning [app.] اصرة. (TA. [This word, in the TA, is blurred: and in the O, the place that it occupied has perished: I think that it is most probably أَصِرَّةٌ, pl. of صِرَارٌ; and therefore that the phrase means Camels not having upon them strings, or pieces of rag, bound upon their udders or teats, to prevent their young ones from sucking: for one says صَرَّ بِالنَّاقَةِ as well as صَرَّ النَّاقَةَ; and in like manner, I suppose, one may say لَيْسَ بِهَا أَصِرَّةٌ: and hence, perhaps, it may mean not having milk: see the phrase مَا بِالنَّاقَةِ عَلُوقٌ.])
def.4 [For the phrase اِسْتَأْصَلَ ٱللّٰهُ عِلْقَاتَهُِمْ, see the next paragraph but one.]
