And فاق الشَّىْءَ, aor. ـُ He broke the thing. (TA.) A5: فاق in the sense of افتاق [from فَاقَةٌ] is not allowable.

(S, O, K, TA. [See فُوَاقٌ.]) b2:  and [hence] one says, ↓ فَوَّقَنِى الأَمَانِىَّ وَأَرْضَعَنِى أَفَاوِيقَ بِرِّهِ (tropical:)  [He made me to obtain on repeated occasions the things wished for, and nourished me with the recurrent supplies of his bounty]. (TA.) And it is said in a trad. of 'Alee, إِنَّ بَنِى أُمَيَّةَ لَيُفَوِّقُونَنِىتُرَاثَ مُحَمَّدٍ, meaning (assumed tropical:)  [Verily the sons of Umeiyeh] give to me by little and little of the property [constituting the heritage of Mohammad].

(S, O, Msb, K.) b2: And [hence,] فوّق المَرْأَةَ (assumed tropical:)  He slit the vulva of the woman. (TA in art. سوس.) b3:  See also the next paragraph, last sentence.4 إِفَاقَةٌ, (O, K, TA,) some say, (O, TA,) signifies A resting; (O, K, TA;) from ↓ فُوَاقٌ signifying a resting between two milkings; (O, TA;) which latter meaning, as well as the former, the K erroneously assigns to the former word. (TA.) b2:  And أَفَاقَتْ said of a she-camel, signifies the same as فَاقَتْ expl. above: see 1, latter half, (O, K, TA.) b3:  And [hence, perhaps,] افاق مِنْ مَرَضِهِ, (S, O, K, TA,) and مِنْ سُكْرِهِ, (S, O,) and مِنْ غَشْيَتِهِ, (O, TA,) inf. n. إِفَاقَهُ; (TA;) and ↓ استفاق; both signify the same; (S, O, K;) i. e. He returned to a healthy, or sound, state [of body and of mind, from his disease, and from his intoxication, and from his swoon, or fit of insensibility]: (O, K, TA:) or one says of the diseased, افاق and ↓ استفاق meaning he became convalescent; or recovered, but not completely, his health and strength: and the subst. [or quasi-inf. n.] is ↓ فُوَاقٌ: (TA:) and one says of the insane, or possessed, افاق, inf. n. إِفَاقَةٌ, meaning he recovered his intel-ligence; and of the intoxicated, likewise, افاق, originally افاق مِنْ سُكْرِهِ, like as one says اِسْتَيْقَظَ مِنْ نَوْمِهِ: (Msb:) [and it is said that] ↓ الاِسْتِفَاقَةُ as syn. with الإِفَاقَةُ is derived from فَوْق meaning the contr. of تَحْت, like as تَعَلَّى مِنْ مَرَضِهِ and تَمَاثَلَ are from العُلُوُّ and المُثُولُ: (Har p. 132:) but accord. to 'Alee Ibn-'Eesà, ↓ استفاق signifies he sought, or desired, الإِفَاقَة. (Ham p. 541.) b4: And [hence,] افاق الزَّمَانُ (tropical:)  The time became abundant in herbage after barrenness or drought. (O, K, TA.) A2:  أَفَقْتُ السَّهْمَ, (inf. n. إِفَاقَةٌ, Msb,) I  put the فُوق [or notch] of the arrow upon the bowstring, (S, O, Msb, * K,) to shoot with it; (S, O, Msb;) as also أَوْفَقْتُهُ: but أَفْوَقْتُهُ is extr., (S, O, K,) and should not be said, (S, O,) or, accord. to Yoo, one says أَفْوَقْتُهُ also: (O:) and, accord. to the A, السَّهْمَ ↓ فوّق signifies [in like manner] he put the bow-string into the notch of the arrow on the occasion of shooting. (TA.) 5 تفوّق عَلَى قَوْمِهِ He exalted himself above his people, or party. (O, * K, * TA.) A2:  تفوّق said of a young unweaned camel, He drank [or sucked] the quantities of milk that had collected in the udder between two milkings time after time. (S, O, K.) b2:  And تَفَوَّقَهَا He milked her, namely, a camel, drawing from her the quantities of milk that had collected in her udder time after time; (O, K;) as also ↓ استفاقها. (K. [But see this latter below.]) b3:  Hence the trad. respecting  Aboo-Moosà, that he was discoursing with Ma'ádh, of reciting the Kur-án, and said, أَمَّا أَنَا فَأَتَفَوَّقُهُ تَفَوُّقَ اللَّقُوحِ [As for me, I draw it forth in the manner of the drawing forth of the milk of the milch camel at the times when it has collected in her udder], meaning (tropical:)  I do not recite my set portion at once, but piecemeal, in my night and my day. (S, O, TA.) b4:  One says also تفوّق شَرَابَهُ i. e. (tropical:)  He drank his wine, or beverage, part after part. (TA.) Sb has mentioned that يَتَجَرَّعَهُ and يَتَفَوَّقَهُ are said of that which is not a labouring to do a thing at once, but is an act after an act, performed in a leisurely manner. (O, TA.) 7 انفاق It (a thing) broke, or became broken; quasi-pass. of فَاقَ الشَّىْءَ meaning كَسَرَهُ. (TA.) b2:  See also 1, near the end. b3:  Said of a camel, He became lean, or emaciated: b4:  and He perished, or died. (O, K.) 8 افتاق He was, or became, poor, or in want, or need: (S, O, Msb, K:) فَاقَ in this sense is not allowable. (S, O.) A2:  And He died with much فُوَاق [which may here mean either hiccoughing (which often occurs at the close of a fatal fever &c.), or gasping, or short catching of the breath]. (O, K.) 10 إِسْتَفْوَقَ see 4, in four places.A2:  استفاقها: see 5.[It signifies as there explained: or it signifies, or signifies also,] He delayed the milking her, namely, a camel, until her milk collected in her udder, or in order that it might collect; and so ↓ فوّقها, inf. n. تَفْوِيقٌ. (TA.) One says, اِسْتَفِقِ النَّاقَةَ Milk not thou the she-camel before the time. (O, * K.) b2: b3:  And مَا يَسْتَفِيقُ مِنَ الشَّرَابِ He does not abstain [from drinking wine]: (O, K, TA:) or he does not drink it in the set time: or he does not appoint a time for drinking it, but drinks it always. (TA.) فَاقٌ A [large bowl such as is termed] جَفْنَة, filled with food. (Lth, T, O, K.) A2:  And Cooked olive-oil. (O, K, TA.) So in the saying of Shemmákh, (O, TA, *) describing the hair of a woman, (TA,) قَامَتْ تُرِيكَ أَثِيثَ النَّبْتِ مُنْسَدِلًا مِثْلَ الأَسَاوِدِ قَدْ مُسِّحْنَ بِالقَافِ [She stood showing to thee hair abundant and luxuriant, or abundant and long, in respect of growth, let down, like the black serpents that have been anointed with cooked olive-oil]: or, as some say, meaning الأَنْفَاق, meaning fresh olive-oil [from إِنْفَاق, a Pers\. word signifying “ olive-oil ”]: or, as AA relates it, the poet said, قَدْ شُدِّخْنَ بِالفَاقِ [that have been crushed in the فاق]; and accord. to him the last word has the meaning here next following. (O, TA.) A3:  And The desert; syn. صَحْرَآءُ: (O, K, TA:) so says AA: and on one occasion he says that الفاق means a certain land: (O: a meaning also mentioned in the K:) or a certain wide land. (TA.) A4:  It is also expl. as signifying بَان [i. e. Oil of ben]: and also A comb: on the authority of Th: and it may have either of these meanings in the verse cited above. (TA.) A5:  And accord. to the K, it signifies Tall, and incongruous in make; and so ↓ فُوقٌ and ↓ فُوقَةٌ and ↓ فِيقٌ and ↓ فُوَاقٌ and ↓ فُيَاقٌ: but these words are all correctly, in this [or a similar] sense with two káfs. (TA.) A6:  Also, accord. to the K, A certain aquatic bird, long in the neck: but this, likewise, is correctly with two káfs. (TA.) فَوْق is the contr. of تَحْت; (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K;) [primarily signifying The location that is above, or over;] and is an adv. n. (Mgh, Msb, K) of place; (Mgh, Msb;) and a simple noun, indecl., [with dammeh for its termination, when the noun to which it should be prefixed is suppressed, and the meaning of this is intended to be understood, but not the word itself;] but when it is prefixed to another noun [which is either expressed or itself (and not merely its meaning) meant to be understood, and when the noun to which it should be prefixed is suppressed and neither this nor its meaning is meant to be understood,] it is declinable. (K. [For the words يَكُونُ اسْمًا وَظَرْفًا مَبْنِىٌّ, the reading of the K in the TA and CK, my MS. copy of the K (which I follow in this case) has يكون ظرفا واسما مبنيّا.]) One says, زَيْدٌ فَوْقَ السَّطْحِ [Zeyd is above, or rather upon, the house-top]. (Mgh, Msb.) And العِمَامَةُ فَوْقَ الرَّأْسِ [The turban is above, or upon, the head]. (Mgh.) And طَفَا فَوْقَ المَآءِ It floated upon the water. (S &c. in art. طفو.) Ks has mentioned the saying, أَفَوْقَ تَنَامُ أَمْ أَسْفَلَ [Dost thou, or wilt thou, sleep in the part that is above of the house &c., or in the part that is below? i. e., in the upper part, or in the lower part?] with fet-h, as suppressing the noun to which فوق is [meant to be understood as] prefixed. (TA.) Lth says that he who uses it as a صِفَة [by which (like other old writers) he means an adv. n. of place] should use the accus. case, as when one says, عَبْدُ اللّٰهِ فَوْقَ زَيْدٍ ['Abd-Allah is above Zeyd]: but if you make it simply a noun, you use the nom. case, and say, فَوْقُهُ رَأْسُهُ [His superior (meaning upper) part is his head]; for in this instance it is the head itself, and you make each to be governed in the nom. case by the other. (TA.) In the saying in the Kur [xvi. 28], فَخَرَّ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّقْفُ مِنْ فَوْقِهِمْ [and the roof fell on them from above them], the utility of the phrase من فوقهم is hardly apparent, because عليهم sometimes serves in its stead: but IJ says that من فوقهم may here have a useful office; for عَلَى is sometimes used in relation to deeds [or events] that are difficult, and deemed onerous; [for instance,] you say, قَدْ سِرْنَا عَشْرًا وَبَقِيَتْ عَلَيْنَا لَيْلَتَانِ [We have journeyed ten nights and the journeys two nights have remained as though incumbent on us]; &c.; so that if it were said فخرّ عليهم السقف without the adding من فوقهم, it might be supposed to be like the saying عَلَيْهِمْ دَارُهُمْ قَدْ خَرِبَتْ [Their abode had become in a state of ruin as a punishment upon them]; but when He [referring to God] says من فوقهم, that meaning which was supposable ceases to be so; and the meaning becomes this, that it [the roof] fell when they were beneath it. (TA.) إِذْ جَاؤُوكُمْ مِنْ فَوْقِكُمْ وَمِنْ أَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ [When they came to you from above you and from below you], in the Kur [xxxiii. 10], relates to Benoo-Kureydhah, who came to them from above them; and to Kureysh and Ghatafán, who came from the district of Mekkeh, from below them. (TA.) وَالَّذِينَ اتَّقُوا فَوْقَهُمْ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ, in the Kur [ii. 208], means (assumed tropical:)  [But those who have been careful of their religious duties] shall be above them in station [on the day of resurrection]. (O.) And one says, [agreeably with what has been stated in the first sentence of this paragraph, أَخَذَهُ مِنْ فَوْقُ, and أَخَذَهُ مِنْ فَوْقٍ, [meaning (assumed tropical:)  He overcame him, or overpowered him, and in like manner أَتَاهُ من فوق, as expl. in the Ham p. 128. i. e. قَهَرَهُ namely, his adversary; and so a hawk, his pr? or quarry. (M and K in an expl. of أَدَلَّ عَلَيْه, in art. دل.) And [in a similar manner] فَوْق is metaphorically used as denoting excess, (Mgh, Msb.) and excellence: (Msb:) thus one says, العَشَرَةُ فَوْقَ التِّسْعَةِ (Mgh, Msb) i. e. (tropical:)  Ten is above nine; meaning ten exceeds nine: (Msb:) and هٰذَا فَوْقَ ذَاكَ (Mgh, Msb) i. e. (tropical:)  [This is above, or superior to, that;] meaning this is more excellent than that; (Msb:) and hence, (Mgh, Msb,) in the Kur iii.24], (S, O,) بَعُوضَةً فَمَا فَوْقَهَا i. e. (tropical:)  [A gnat and] what exceeds it (Mgh, Msb) in smallness, or in largeness; (Mgh, Msb, K;) what is smaller than it, (AO, S, O,) or what is larger than it, by the latter being meant the fly [mentioned in the Kur xxii. 72] and the spider [mentioned in xxix. 40], (Fr, S, O,) and the phrase as expl. in the former sense being like the reply to him who says “ Such a one is small ” ذٰلِكَ وَفَوْقَ i. e. (assumed tropical:)  And smaller than that: (AO, O:) hence also, in the Kur iii. 12], فَإِنْ كُنَّ نِسَآءً فَوْقَ اثْنَتَيْنِ (Mgh, Msb) i. e. (tropical:)  [and if they are women,] exceeding two. (Msb.) فُوقٌ The part, of the arrow, which is the place of the bow-string; [i. e. the notch thereof;] (S, O, Msb, K;) as also ↓ فُوقَةٌ: (Msb, K;) the former is masc., and also, like the latter, fem. (IAmb, Msb:) and الفُوقَانِ signifies the (??) [or two cusps of the فُوق, between which is put the bow string]; (O, K;) thus these are termed by the tribe of Hudheyl; but a poet who has used the dual form is said by AO to has mead thereby a single فُوق: (O:) the pl. [of mult.] is فُوَقٌ and [of pauc.] أَفْوَاقٌ; (S, O, Msb, K;) or, accord. to ISk, these are pls. of فُوقَةٌ; (TA;) and قُفًا also is a pl., formed by transposition; [see an ex. in a verse cited voce عُرْقُوبٌ;] (K, TA;) one says فُقْوَةٌ and فُقًا [for فُوقَةٌ and فُوَقٌ]. (TA.) سَهْمٌ ذُو فُوقٍ means An arrow rendered complete by its having a فُوق: b2:  and hence ذَا فُوقٍ occurring in a trad. [as meaning (assumed tropical:)  A complete share; for سَهْمٌ signifies “ a share ” as well as “ an arrow ”]. (A'Obeyd, O.) And أَعْلَاهُمْ فُوقًا, meaning (tropical:)  He, or they, of them, haring the largest share of religion, is a metaphorical phrase, from the فُوق of the arrow. (TA.) b3:  And they say, أَقْبِلْ عَلَى فُوقِ نَبْلِكَ, [or, app., فُوَقِ نَبْلِكَ,  for نَبْلٌ is a coll. n., meaning “ arrows,” or “ Arabian arrows,”] meaning (assumed tropical:)  Betake thyself to thy affair, and that which concerns thee. (TA.) b4: And رَمَيْنَا فُوقًا, (O, K,) or فُوقًا وَاحِدًا, (TA,) meaning رِشْقًا [i. e. (tropical:)  We shot in one direction; or we shot one bout, in one direction], (O, K, TA.) b5: [Hence, app.,] one says, كان فُلَانٌ لِأَوَّلِ فُوقِ, meaning (tropical:)  Such a one (??) [for the first discharge from the bow, i. e.,] the first shot and dying. (A, TA.) b6:  And [hence, perhaps.] فُوقٌ signifies also (tropical:)  A mode, or manner, of speech: (A, O, K:) pl. فُوَقٌ. (TA) One says to a man when he enters upon a mode, or manner, of speech, خَذْ فِى فُوقِ أَحْسَنَ مِنْهُ (tropical:)  [Enter upon a mode, or manner, of speech better than it]. (A, TA.) b7:  And (tropical:)  The first way (AA, O K, TA.) b8:  Hence. app., [they say, (??) (tropical:)  Return(??) (??) (??) (??) (??) meaning (assumed tropical:)  [What is the case of my wife that she is choked by her spittle (??) Then, or afterward,] may it (her spittle) not return to its channel [i. e. her throat, the way whence it came (??) that she may be suffocated). (O.) b9:  And one says (O, K) or a man when be l(??) gone away, (O,) مَا ارْتَدَّ عَلَى فُوقِهِ, meaning (assumed tropical:)  He went away and he did not return [ to the place whence he departed] (O, K) b10:  فُوقٌ also signifies, (O, K.) accord. to Ibn-'Abbád, (O, TA.) (assumed tropical:)  The (??) of a woman: (O, K. TA) (??) As says that this is with ق [in the place of the ف]: (TA:) [it is, however, also said that] فُوقُ الرَّحِمِ signifies (tropical:)  the rima of the vulva, by way of comparison [to the notch of the arrow]. (TA, in the supplement to this art.) b11: [And app(??) the ear see 1 (??) art حرم, when it is ment(??) in such (??) manner as seems to pre(??) its being a mistranscription for قَوف] b12:  and (??) (مَفْرَج, O. TA, (??) the (??) مَخْرَج, TA, (??) (??) (??) say, O) the extremity of the tongue. (O, K, TA.) b13:  And (assumed tropical:)  The uppermost part of the penis, (En-Nadr, O, K, TA,) or of the glans thereof. (TA.)

(Msb.) and فَوَقَةٌ [an irreg. pl. of فَائِقٌ, like as خَوَنَةٌ is of خَائِنٌ, for by rule these pls. should be فَاقَةٌ and خَانَةٌ,] signifies Elegant scholars, and orators. (IAar, O, K.)

(TA.) One says, رَجَعَ فُلَانٌ بِأَفْوَقَ نَاصَلٍ (assumed tropical:)  Such a one returned with an arrow having a broken notch and without a head upon it; meaning, with an incomplete share of good fortune: (S, O:) or, disappointed of attaining what he desired, or sought: a proverb.

(O.) [The strangeness of this explanation induces me to think that فَوْقَآءُ is here a mistranscription for فَوْهَآءُ, (see مَحَالَةٌ فَوْهَآءُ, in art. فوه,) and that the explanation is partly conjectural.] b3:  And كَمَرَةٌ فَوْقَآءُ A glans of a penis whereof the extremity is tapering in form, (O, K,) like that which is termed حَوْقَآءُ. (O.) مُفِيقٌ and مُفِيقَةٌ A she-camel having in her udder the milk that had collected between two milkings: (AA, S, O, K:) pl. مَفَاوِيقُ (S, O, K) and مَفَاوِقُ, (Akh, TA,) and ↓ فُيُقٌ also is pl. of مُفِيقٌ signifying as expl. above, mentioned by AA in the third vol. of his “ Nawádir,” and said by IB to be, accord. to analogy, pl. of فُوُوقٌ, and to be originally فُوُقٌ; but accord. to one relation of a verse in which it occurs, it is ↓ فِيَق, which is more agreeable with analogy. (TA.) A2:  And the former, applied to a poet, is syn. with مُفْلِقٌ [i. e. One  who poetizes admirably, or wonderfully.]. (Aboo-Turáb, K. [But its verb is mentioned in the O and K in art. فيق.]) مُفَوَّقٌ (tropical:)  Food, and beverage, that is taken by little and little. (IAar, O, K, TA.

(A, TA.) مُسْتَفِيقٌ A man who sleeps much: (O, K, TA:) mentioned by IAar; but this is strange.
