Full Definition

فَليِجَةٌ One of the oblong pieces of cloth of a tent: or, of a [tent of the kind called] خِبَآء: As says, I know not in what part it is: فَلِيجٌ appears to be used for it by poetic license; or the word may be one of those pronounced with and without ة; or without ة it may be a pl. [or coll. gen. n.] of which the sing. [or n. un.] is with ة: [or] فَلِيجٌ signifies a single oblong piece of a بِجَاد [q. v.]; and its pl. is فُلُجٌ: (L and TA in art. بجد:) and [in like manner] فَلْجَةٌ signifies a piece of a بِجَاد.
