فَنْكٌ

i. q. عَجَبٌ: (IAar, O, K, TA:) [it apparently means A wonderful thing: for] IAar cites as an example,

وَلَا فَنْكَ إِلَّا سَعْىُ عَمْرٍو وَرَهْطِهِ

بِمَا اخْتَشَبُوا مِنْ مِعْضَدٍ وَدَدَانِ

[And there is not anything wonderful except the conduct of 'Amr and his near kinsfolk in their having taken without selection a sword commonly used for lopping trees, and one that was blunt]: (TA:) and ↓ فَنَكٌ signifies the same. (K, TA.)

-A2- Also Persistence, or perseverence; or the act of persisting, or persevering. (TA.) [In this and the following senses, it seems to be a verbal noun of which the verb is فَنَكَ; as is indicated in the TA.]

And The act of overcoming. (O, K, TA. [Accord. to the TA, from IAar; but said in the O to be from another, not there named.])

And The acting wrongfully, unjustly, injuriously, or tyrannically. (IAar, O, K, TA.)

And The lying, or saying what is untrue. (IAar, O, K, TA.)
