Full Definition
عَارِقٌ
[act. part. n. of عَرَقَ]. A poet says,
2 And [the pl.] العَوَارِقُ signifies The أَضْرَاس [i. e. teeth, or lateral teeth, &c.]: an epithet in which the quality of a subst. predominates.
3 And The سِنُون [i. e. years, or droughts, or years of drought]; so called لأَنَّهَا تَعْرُقُ الإِنْسَانَ, (K, TA, in some copies of the K الأَسْنَانَ,) i. e. because they take from the man [his flesh, or render him lean].
[I restrain my tongue from my friend; but if I be compelled to have recourse to him in a case of need, I am one who gnaws to the utmost: مَعْرَق being here an Verbal.Noun]. (S, O: mentioned in both immediately after the explanation of عَرَقْتُ العَظْمَ.)أَكُفُّ لِسَانِى عَنْ صَدِيقِى فَإِنْ أُجَأْ إِلَيْهِ فَإِنِّى عَارِقٌ كُلَّ مَعْرَقِ
