أَرْفَقُ

[compar. and superl. of رَفِيقٌ; meaning More, and most, gentle, &c.]

[Hence,] one says, هٰذَا الأَمْرُ أَرْفَقُ بِكَ [and عَلَيْكَ] (assumed tropical:) This affair, or thing, is more, or most, easy, or convenient, to thee. (TA in article عود.) [See also an instance voce مَحْنِيَةٌ (in article حنو), last sentence.]

Also, applied to a camel, Having the elbow (المِرْفَق) distorted from the side: (JK, S, O, K:) so says Lth: (O:) and so the feminine رَفْقَاءُ, applied to a she-camel: (JK, S:) but Az says that the epithet preserved by him in his memory as heard from the Arabs applied to a camel is أَدْفَقُ, with دال. (O.)

Accord. to As, (O,) رَفْقَاءُ applied to a she-camel signifies Having the orifice of her teat stopped up; (O, K;) and so رَفِقَةٌ: (K:) the latter is said by Zeyd Ibn-Kuthweh to signify, so applied, having the orifices of her teats stopped up. (O.)
