[He struck his hand upon that of another in token of the ratification of the sale]. (T in art. دو. [See also 6.])
2 صافقت said of a she-camel, She lay, or slept, upon one side one time and upon the other side another time: from صَفْقٌ meaning جَانِبٌ. And فُلَانٌ يُصَافِقُ بَيْنَ جَنْبَيْهِ Such a one turns over upon this صَفْق [or side] one time and upon the other another. And بَاتَ فُلَانٌ يُصَافِقُ [Such a one passed the night turning over from side to side].
3 [Accord. to the K, said of a she-camel, She was taken with the pains of parturition; i. q. مَخَضَتْ: but this is app. a mistake; for it seems to have been taken from the saying in the O, إِذَا مَخَضَتِ النَّاقَةُ صَافَقَتْ, which evidently means When the she-camel is taken with the pains of parturition, she turns over from side to side; as is there indicated by the context both before and after.]
4 صافق بَيْنَ قَمِيصَيْنِ, or بين ثَوْبَيْنِ, He wore two shirts, or two garments, one of them over the other.
