فُقَاعٍ
; (O, and thus in my MS, copy of the K; in other copies of the K فُقَاع or فُقَاعٌ; and in all the copies is added بالضَّمِّ كَرُبَاع or كَرُبَاعٍ; [but there is no such word as رُبَاعٍ. nor رُباعٌ; whence it seems to be meant that we should read كَرُبَاعَ; i. e. فُقَاعُ, like رُباعُ, imperfectly decl.; but see what follows;]) so says Ibn-Buzurj: or, accord. to AZ, فقاعٍ , like رُبَاعٍ, [i. e.] with fet-h, like ثَمَانٍ (كَثَمَانٍ): [which suggests that كَرُبَاعٍ may be an early mistranscription for كَربَاعٍ, and that فُقَاع is wrong, and only فَقَاعٍ right, though it is said in one place in the TA that فَقَاع is like سَحَاب, i. e. that it is فَقَاعٌ:] or it is
فَقِيعٌ , like أَمِيرٌ; so accord. to El-Jáhidh, as mentioned by Az: applied to a man, as meaning Red; intensely so; by reason of
إِغْرَاب [i. e. app., goodliness of condition]: and
, as an epithet applied to a man, signifies red.
