حُلْقَانُ

Full Definition

حُلْقَانُ Ripening dates that have become ripe as far as the حَلْق; which is said by some to be near the base: or that have begun to be ripe (K in art. حلقن) next the base; and so رُطَبٌ مُحَلْقِمٌ ; and a single date in that state is termed رُطَبَةٌ : (K in art. حلقم:) or ripening dates that have become ripe to the extent of two thirds; as also مُحَلْقِنٌ , and مُحَلِّقٌ , like مُحَدِّثٌ: [in the CK مُحَلَّق, like مُعَظَّم:]) and the last signifies, accord. to Ibn-'Abbád, dates partly ripe and partly unripe: n. un. with ة: such dates are also termed حَوَالِيقُ , held by ISd to be a kind of rel. n., [as though pl. of حَالِقَةٌ,] though the reason of the insertion of the ى in this word, he says, was unknown to him: and رُطَبٌ حُلْقَانِىٌّ : the pl. of مُحَلِّقٌ is مَحَالِيقُ.
