رَيْقٌ

A shining, or glistening, (K, TA,) of a sword [&c.]. (TA.) Hence, in a tradition respecting [the battle of] Bedr, فَإِذَا بِرَيْقِ سَيْفٍ مِنْ وَرَايءِى [And lo, the shining, or glistening, of a sword behind me]: thus written by El-Wákidee: if the reading بَرِيقُ [from بَرَقَ] had been transmitted, it would be evidently reasonable. (IAth, TA.)

And i. q. بَاطِلٌ [as meaning False, or vain, speech or conduct]. (K.) One says, أَقْصِرْ عَنْ رَيْقِكَ [Desist thou from thy false, or vain, speech or conduct]. (TA.)

رَيْقُ اللَّيْلِ, with fet-h [to the ر], The سَرَاب [or mirage]. (TA.)

رَيْقٌ also signifies Water: (K:) or water that is drunk in the state of fasting, in the early morning, or first part of the day; (TA;) [and] so ↓ رَايءِقٌ, which is [said to be] not applied [in this sense] to anything but water: you say مَاءٌ رَايءِقٌ. (S.) [But see رَايءِقٌ.]

And خُبْزٌ رَيْقٌ (IDrd, K) and ↓ رَايءِقٌ (As, JK, K) Dry bread; i. e. bread without seasoning, or condiment, to render it pleasant, or savoury. (As, JK, IDrd, K.)

See also رَيِّقٌ: both are also mentioned in article روق q. v.
