(Msb.) b2: لَزِجَ بِهِ It adhered to him, or it, as glue or the like; syn. غَرِىَ. (S, K.) E. g. أَكَلْتُ شَيْئًا فَلَزِجَ بِأَصَابِعِى I ate a thing and it adhered to my fingers. (Msb.) b3:  [And] ↓ تلزّج It (food, or ointment,) became [viscous, glutinous, clammy, cohesive, sticky, slimy, ropy, or mucilaginous,] like خِطْمِىّ [or marsh-mallow]. (M, &c.) b4: النَّبَاتُ ↓ تلزّج i. q. تَلَجَّنَ: (S, K:) i. e., The herbage became flaccid, and one part thereof inclined over another: (TA:) [or became flaccid, and of a viscous consistency, or viscous or mucilaginous in its juice; as appears from what here follows]. Ru-beh says, [in the S, El-'Ajjáj,] describing a pair af asses, male and female, وَفَرَعَا مِنْ رَعْىِ مَا تَلَزَّجَا [And they finished pasturing upon what had become flaccid, and of a viscous consistency]. For, says J, [immediately after citing these words of the poet,] when herbage begins to dry up, its juice thickens, and becomes like the mucilage of the خِطْمِىّ [or marsh-mallow]. (TA.) Or the words of the poet, above quoted, signify, And they finished pasturing upon what they had searched after constantly, or time after time: for تَلَزُّجٌ also signifies the searching of a beast of carriage after herbage and leguminous plants, constantly, or time after time: and the two asses are here the agents of the verb تلزّجا.
