Full Definition

مُرْتَكٌّ A soft, or flabby, camel, having diluted marrow (مَمْذُوقُ النِّقْىِ). (O, K. [In the CK, النَّقِىُّ is erroneously put for النِّقْىِ; and in my MS. copy of the K, النقىّ.])
2 And A drunken man indistinct in his speech: or a man seen to be eloquent when alone, but impotent in speech when he engages in altercation.
