, said of an egg (بَيْضَةٌ), It came forth having upon it [only] its thin integument [or pellicle, called غِرْقِيء]. (K.) And, said of a hen, [in the K in art. غرق [in which the hemzeh is said to be augmentative) غرقأت بَيْضَهَا] She laid her eggs in the state described above. (K.) [But see what follows.]

The integument [or pellicle.] (S, K) that is beneath the قَيْض [i. e. shell], (S,) adhering to the white, (K,) of the egg. (S, K.) But Fr says its ء is augmentative, for it is from الغَرَقُ. (S.) Or The white [of the egg], which is eaten: (K:) but this explanation is of weak authority. (TA.)
