Full Definition

اقلصIV : see 1, second sentence.
2 It began to come forth: and, said of a camel, his hump appeared in some degree, and rose: and in like manner اقلصت said of a she-camel: or the latter signifies she became fat in her hump; as also قلّصت ; and in like manner one says of a he-camel [اقلص and قلّص ]: or she became fat in the [season called] صَيْف: or i. q. غَارَتْ; [so in the copies of the K, evidently a mistake for غَارَّتْ, q. v.;] and her milk went away, or became drawn up; [a signification nearly agreeing with explanations of غارّت;] opposed to أَنْزَلَتْ. See also قَلَصٌ.
