احتقنVIII as a trans. v.: see 1.

def.2 Also It collected in the inside in consequence of a spear-wound, or stab, or the like, penetrating thereinto.
2 And He administered to himself, or had administered to him, a حُقْنَة [or clyster]: or he made use of the حُقْنَة in consequence of suppression of his urine. The saying اِحْتَقَنَ الصَّبِىُّ بِلَبَنِ أُمِّهِ [meaning The child had its mother's milk administered to it as a clyster] is farfetched: and اُحْتُقِنَ is not allowable: the right expression is , or عُولِجَ بِالحُقْنَةِ.
3 And اِحْتَقَنَتِ الرَّوْضَةُ The روضة [i. e. meadow, or garden,] had its sides elevated عَلَى سَائِرِهَا [above the rest of it]: so says AHn: in the K, على سَرَارِهَا [above the depressed, or the best, or most fruitful, part of it: in the CK, سِرارِها].
