2 Also, applied to a [road such as is termed] فَجّ, as in the Kur xxii. 28, Remote, or far-extending; and so as applied to a place; [so too عَمِقٌ , applied to a desert, as in the verse cited above, voce عَمْقٌ;] and, applied to a road, عَمِيقٌ is more used than مَعِيقٌ: or عَمِيقٌ applied to a فَجّ signifies long; or, app., accord. to IAar, not thus when applied to a فَجّ as meaning a road. (TA. [See عَمْقٌ.])
