صُقْلٌ

The خَاصِرَة [or flank]; as also صُقْلَةٌ: (S, M, O, K: [in the CK, erroneously, صَقْلَة:]) the former, in this sense, said by AA to be from صَقَلَ النَّاقَةَ: (TA:) seldom is the صُقْلَة of a horse long except his sides be short, which is a fault: (S, O:) and the صُقْلَانِ are the قُرْبَانِ [by which may be meant either the two flanks or the two portions between the groin and the armpit on each side] of a دَابَّة [i. e. horse or similar beast] &c. (M.) And The جَنْب [or side]. (M, K.) حُمُرٌ زَحَالِفُ الصُّقْلِ means Asses having smooth and fat bellies. (Ibn-'Abbád, TA in article زحلف.)

And i. q. نَاحِيَةٌ [meaning A district, quarter, tract, &c]: (O, TA:) so in the saying, أَنْتَ فِى صُقْلٍ خَالٍ [Thou art in a vacant district &c.]; like صُقْعٍ خَالٍ. (TA.)
