Root: ضيق
Full Definition
ضُوقَى
and ضِيقَى are fems. of
أَضْيَقُ ; the former [as well as the latter] is [originally] of the measure فُعْلَى, [each being originally ضُيْقَى,] the ى being changed in the former into و because quiescent and preceded by dammeh: the former occurs in the saying of a woman to her fellowwife, contending with her for superiority,
[Thou art not the better nor the narrower &c.; خُورَى being in like manner fem. of أَخْيَرُ]. Accord. to Kr, the former is pl. of ; and he says the same of ضِيقَى also; (TA voce كَيِّسٌ;) but ISd says, I know not how this may be, for فُعْلَى is not of the measures of pls. except of the kind of pl. which differs not from its sing. otherwise than in the latter's having ة [as an affix], like بُهْمَاةٌ and بُهْمَى [q. v.].مَا أَنْتِ بِالخُورَى وَلَا الضُّوقَى حِرًا
