غَرْقَأَتْ, said of an egg (بَيْضَةٌ), It came forth having upon it [only] its thin integument [or pellicle, called غِرْقِئ]. (Ḳ.)

And, said of a hen, [in the Ḳ in art. غرق (in which the hemzeh is said to be augmentative) غرقأت بَيْضَهَا] She laid her eggs in the state described above. (Ḳ.) [But see what follows.]

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