طُلَعَةٌ , means نَفْسٌ تُكْثِرُ التَّطَلُّعَ لِلشَّىْءِ, or إِلَى الشَّىْءِ, i. e. A soul that inclines much to the love of the thing [that it would obtain], and desires it so that the man perishes: and طُلَعَةٌ is used also as applied to a pl., so that one says also نُفُوسٌ طُلَعَةٌ, or أَنْفُسٌ طُلَعَةٌ, meaning souls eager, or vehemently eager, for the objects of their love and appetence. [See also طَلِعٌ.] And in like manner one says اِمْرَأَهٌ طُلَعَةٌ, or اِمْرَأَةٌ طُلَعَةٌ خُبَأَةٌ: or this latter means A woman that comes forth (تَطْلُعُ [in the CK erroneously تَطَّلِعُ]) at one time (مَرَّةً [omitted in the CK]) and conceals herself at another: and in like manner one says امرأة طُلَعَةٌ قُبَعَةٌ.
