Full Definition

ٱئْتَفَكَتِVIII [written with the disjunctive alif اِيتَفَكَت], بِأَهْلِهَا, The land, or district, or the town, or the like, was, or became, overturned, or subverted, with its inhabitants: as were the towns of the people of Lot.
2 Hence it is said of El-Basrah, قَدِ ٱئْتَفَكَتْ بِأَهْلِهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ, meaning It has been submerged with its inhabitants twice; as though subverted.
3 You say also, اِيتَفَكَتْ تِلْكَ الأَرْضُ That land has been burnt up by drought.
