(TA.) It is said in a trad., respecting Munkidh, صُقِعَ آمَّةً i. e. He was struck on the top of his head: (O:) or he had his head broken so that the wound reached the membrane over his brain.

(TA.) Or it signifies, (K,) or signifies also, (O,) or so صَقِعَ, (S, TA,) like  فَرِحَ, not صَقَعَ, (TA,) He deviated from the way, (S, O, K, TA,) and alighted, or descended and abode, alone, by himself: (TA:) or he deviated from the way of goodness and generosity. (IF, O, K, TA.) And صَقْعٌ signifies The going astray; losing one's way; or becoming lost; and perishing; or dying. (TA.
