أَعْلَقَIV see 2, former half, in six places: and again, in the latter half.
2 اعلق القَوْسَ He put a suspensory (عِلَاقَة) to the bow.
3 اعلق said of one practising the capturing of game, or animals of the chase, He had the game, or animal of the chase, caught, or stuck fast, in his snare.

def.2 اعلق also signifies He sent, or let go, [or applied,] leeches (عَلَق), upon a place, to such the blood.

def.3 And He found, lighted on, or met with, a precious article, (عِلْقًا, K, TA, [in the CK عَلْقًا] i. e. نَفِيسًا, TA,) of property: mentioned by Ibn-'Abbád.

def.4 And He brought to pass that which was a calamity. You say to a man, أَعْلَقْتَ وَأَفْلَقْتَ, i. e. جِئْتَ بِعُلَقَ فُلَقَ, meaning [Thou hast brought to pass] that which is a calamity.

(S, TA. [See 1 in art. دغر.]) You say of a woman, أَعْلَقَتْ وَلَدَهَامِنَ العُذْرَة, or أَعْلَقَتْ عَلَيْهِ, She raised (رَفَعَتْ [or دَفَعَتْ i. e. thrust]) her child's [swelling termed] عُذْرَة with her hand: or she pressed that part with her finger, and thrust it.
4 And hence, one says also, أَعْلَقْتُ عَلَىَّ, meaning I put my hand into my fauces to constrain myself to vomit.

def.5 اعلقت البِلَادُ The countries were, or became, distant, or remote; like اعنقت. (TA in art. عنق, from the Nawádir el-Aaráb.)
