Full Definition

لَقِسَتْI , Present.T ـَ Verbal.Noun لَقَسٌ, His soul [or stomach] heaved; or became agitated by a tendency to vomit; or became heavy; syn. غَثَتْ, [q. v.,] and خَبُثَتْ; مِنَ الشَّىْءِ in consequence of the thing. Mohammad desired his followers to use this expression instead of خَبُثَتْ نَفْسُهُ, which he disliked.
2 With إِلى الشَّىْءِ following it, His soul strove with him to incline him to the thing, and became greedy for it. [But Az seems to disapprove of this explanation.]
