Full Definition

تَقَلَّحَتْV i. e. [The woman when her husband is absent] becomes dirty in her clothes; does not pay frequent attention to the cleansing of her person and her clothes: a saying in a trad., which some relate otherwise, saying تفلّحت, with ف: but El-Khattábee holds the former to be the right, and to be from the yellowness that comes upon the teeth. (TA in art. فلح.)

def.2 And تقلّح البِلَادَ He applied himself to the earning, or gaining, of sustenance, or wealth, in the towns, or districts, in the case of drought, or barrenness of the earth.
