حَقْلٌ

Seed-produce when its leaves have branched forth, (S, M, Msb, K,) and become apparent and numerous, (M, K,) before its stalks have become thick: (S:) or when its shoots have come forth near together: or as long as it is green: (M, K:) or of which the head has come forth. (Lth, L in article فرخ.)

And Land such as is termed قَرَاح; i. e. land in which are no trees: (Msb:) or good قَرَاح: n. un. with ة: (S:) or a good قَرَاح in which one sows; as also with ة: (K:) or a place that has never been sown; and so, according to some, with ة: (TA:) whence, (K,) it is said in a prov., (S,) لَا تُنْبِتُ البَقْلَةَ إِلَّا الحَقْلَةُ [Nothing but the good seed-plot produces the herb]: (S, K:) said to be applied to a base saying proceding from a base man: [or it means, as the father, os is the son: (Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 516:)] but ISd says that الحقلة is not known; and he thinks that the ة is added in order to make it accord with البقلة; or that it means a portion of what is termed حَقْلٌ: (TA:) the plural is حُقُولٌ. (Msb.)
