فَالِقٌ

Splitting, cleaving, or dividing lengthwise. (TA.) فَالِقُ الْحَبِّ وَالنَّوَى, (O, K, *) in the Qur'an, 6:95, (O,) means The Cleaver of the dry grain so as to produce therefrom green leaves [and of the date-stone]: or, as some say, the Creator thereof. (O, K. *) And hence the saying of Áïsheh, إِنَّ البُكَاءَ فَالِقٌ كَبِدِى [Verily weeping is cleaving my liver]. (TA.)

Hence, also, in the Qur'an, 6:96, فَالِقٌ الإِصْبَاحِ He who causeth the dawn to break: in which instance, also, فالق has reference to the meaning of Creator: (O, TA:) so says Zj. (TA.)

نَخْلَةٌ فَالِقٌ means A palmtree splitting, or cleaving from [around, i. e. so as to disclose,] the spathe: (O, K, * TA:) plural فُلْقٌ. (TA.)

الفَوَالِقُ as plural of الفَالِقُ signifies The veins that divide [so as to form ramifying veins (thus I render ↓ العُرُوقُ المُتَفَلِّقَةُ)] in the human being. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, TA.)

See also فَلْقٌ, first sentence.

And see فَلَقٌ, former half, in three places.

الوَرِكَةِ ↓ خَلَّيْتُهُ بِفَالِقَةِ, or, as in the T, بِفَالِقِ الوركاء, [thus in the TA, but I think that الوركة and الوركاء are evidently mistran- scriptions, and that the right reading is الوَدْكَاءِ, with دال,] meaning [I left him in the low, or depressed, tract in the midst of] the sand [called El-Wedkà]. (TA.)
