طَرُوقَةٌ

Full Definition

طَرُوقَةٌ A she-camel covered by the stallion; of the measure فَعُولَةٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولَةٌ. طَرُوقَةُ الفَحْلِ means The female of the stallion [camel]. And A she-camel that has attained to the fit age for her being covered by the stallion: it is not a condition of the application of the term that he has already covered her: or a young, or youthful, she-camel that has attained to that age and kept to the stallion and been chosen by him. And one says to a husband, كَيْفَ طَرُوقَتُكَ, meaning How is thy wife? every wife is termed طَرُوقَةُ زَوْجِهَا, or طروقة بَعْلِهَا, or طروقة فَحْلِهَا; which is thought by ISd to be metaphorical.
2 One says also, نَوَّخَ ٱللّٰهُ الأَرْضَ طَرُوقَةً لِلْمَآءِ i. e. God made, or may God make, the land capable of receiving the water [of the rains so as to be impregnated, or fertilized, or soaked, thereby]; expl. by جَعَلَهَا مِمَّا تُطِيقُهُ. (S in art. نوخ.) [See also a verse cited in art. سفد, conj. 4.]
