سُوقَةٌ A subject, and the subjects, of a king; so called because driven by him; contr. of مَلِكٌ; whether practising traffic or not: not meaning of the people of the أَسْوَاق [or markets], as the vulgar think; for such are called سُوقِيُّونَ, sing. سُوقِىٌّ: it is used alike as sing. and pl. and dual and masc. and fem.: but sometimes it has سُوَقٌ for its pl.

def.2 سُوقَةُ الطُّرْثُوثِ [in the CK, erroneously, التُّرْثُوثِ] The part of the [plant called] طرثوث that is below the نِكْعَة [or نَكَعَة or نُكَعَة, which is the head from the top to the extent of a finger, or the flower at the head thereof]; sweet and pleasant: so says Ibn-' Abbád: AHn says [of the طرثوث], it is like the penis of the ass, and there is no part of it more pleasant, nor sweeter, than its سوقة; which is in some instances long; and in some, short.

def.3 See also سُوقٌ, last sentence.
