خَرِيقٌ

1.
A womb rent by the fœtus, and that consequently does not conceive (K, TA) afterwards; (TA;) [of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ;] as also مُتَخَرِّقَةٌ. (K.)
2.
And A she-camel whose womb has been rent. (JK.) Applied to a well (بِيءْر), it signifies الَّتِى كُسِرَ جِبْلَتُهَاعَنِ المَاءِ: (JK, Ibn-' Abbád, K:) [in the CK جَبَلَتُها: neither of these readings affords an admissible meaning: the right reading I believe to be جِيلُهَا; and the meaning, Of which the side, or lateral part, is broken, from the water upwards:] plural خَرَايءِقُ (JK, Ibn-' Abbád, K, TA) and خُرُقٌ, (Ibn-' Abbád, K, TA, [the latter erroneously written in the CK خُرُوْقٌ,]) like سَفَايءِنُ and سُفْنٌ. (TA.)
3.
A channel of water that is not deep, and not without trees. (JK, Ibn- 'Abbád, K.)
4.
The place of expanding of a valley, where it ends. (JK, K.)
5.
A low, or depressed, tract of land, containing herbage: plural خُرُقٌ. (S, K.) One says, مَرَرْتُ بِخَرِيقٍ مِنَ الأَرْضِ بَيْنَ مَسْحَاوَيْنِ [I passed by a low tract of land, containing herbage, between two plain tracts containing small pebbles and without herbage]. (Fr, S.)
6.
Hard ground. (A, TA.)
7.
(tropical:) A violent wind; (A, TA;) as also رِيحٌ خَرْقَاءُ: (S, K:) the latter signifies (tropical:) a wind that blows violently: or, that does not continue to blow in the same direction: (TA:) or the former signifies (tropical:) a cold wind that blows violently; (S, K;) as also خَرُوقٌ: (K:) [it is an epithet; for] one says رِيحٌ خَرِيقٌ which is anomalous, as by rule one should say خَرِيقَةٌ: (S:) it is [also] one of the names for (tropical:) a cold wind that blows violently; (JK, T, TA;) as though it perforated, or rent; the agent [رِيحٌ] being unused: (T, TA:) and (as some say, TA) it signifies also (assumed tropical:) a gentle, soft, wind; thus bearing two contr. meanings: or that returns, and [then] continues its course: (K:) or, as in the L, does not continue its course: (TA:) or that blows long. (K.)
