زُلَّخَةٌ

A sloping slide (زُحْلُوفَةٌ, S, K) down which children slide. (S. [In one copy of the S, ↓ يَتَزَلَّخُ مِنْهَا الصِّيبَانُ: in two other copies, يَتَزَلَّجُ: and in one of these, عَلَيْهَا is put in the place of مِنْهَا.])

Also (tropical:) A pain that attacks in the back, (A, K,) which consequently becomes hard, or rigid, and rough, (K,) depriving one of the power of motion (A, K) by reason of its violence: (A:) and some pronounce the word ↓ زُلَخَةٌ, without teshdeed to the ل; and some, erroneously, with ج: (TA:) or it is a disease that attacks in the back and the side: (ISd, TA:) [and ↓ زُلَّخٌ appears to signify the same, or to be a coll. gen. n.: for] AA cites the following verse:

وَصِرْتُ مِنْ بَعْدِ القَوَامِ أَبْزَخَا

الدَّهْرُ بِظَهْرِى زُلَّخَا ↓ وَزَلَّخَ

[apparently meaning, And I have become, after goodliness of stature, or symmetry, or justness of proportion, protuberant in the breast and hollow in the back; and time has produced, in my back, pain that deprives me of the power of motion]. (S, TA.)
