Root: يفخ

Full Definition

يَافُوخٌ [The top of the head;] the part where the anterior and posterior bones of the head meet: [see يَأْفُوخٌ, of which it is a dial. form:] pl. يَوَافِيخُ. ISd regards this form of pl. as an indication that the ى is a radical letter, and therefore mentions it in this art.; [and F says the same in art. أفخ: but see that art.].
2 مَسَّ بِيَافُوخِهِ السِّمَاكَ [He touched Spica Virginis, or Arcturus, with the top of his head].
3 وَطِئَ فُلَانٌ يَوَافِيخَ القُرُومِ Such a one had lordship and eminence given to him.
4 صَدَعُوا يَافُوخَ اللَّيْلِ i. q. أَدْلَجُوا [They journeyed in the night; &c.] [See also art. أفخ.]
