لِقَاحٌ The semen genitale (L, Ḳ) of a stallion camel, and horse, and ‡ of a man. (L.) I’Ab, being asked respecting a man who had two wives, one of whom suckled a boy, and the other a girl, [not his own children,] whether the boy might marry the girl, answered “No; because the لقاح [i. e., لِقَاح orلَقَاح↓, as shown below,] is one:” meaning, says Lth, that the semen genitale which impregnated them both, and which was the source of the milk of both, was one, and that the two sucklings had thus become as though they were the children of the two women's husband: but, says Az, لقاح may here be a quasi-inf. n., syn. with إِلْقَاحٌ; like عَطَآءٌ and إِعْطَآءٌ, &c.: (L:) [and the like is said in the Mṣb.] لَقَاحٌ↓ and لِقَاحٌ, with fet-ḥ and kesr, are substs. from أَلْقَحَ, [q. v.] syn. with إِلْقَاحٌ, signifying impregnation, or the getting with young; and so in the answer of I’Ab above mentioned.

(ISh, Th, Mṣb.)

The Arabs also said لِقَاحَانِ أَسْوَدَانِ [Two black herds of milch camels], like as they said قَطِيعَانِ; for they said لِقَاحٌ وَاحِدَةٌ in like manner as they said قَطِيعٌ وَاحِدٌ and إِبِلٌ وَاحِدَةٌ. (Ṣ.)

أَدِرُّوا لِقْحَةَ↓ المُسْلِمِينَ ‡ Milk ye the milch camel of the Muslims: occurring in a trad., alluding to the tribute (فَىْء and خَرَاج) whence were derived the stipends and fixed appointments of the persons addressed, and to the collecting it with equity. (TA.)

(L, Ḳ, TA: in the CK لُقَّحٌ.)

رِيَاحٌ لَوَاقِحُ (Ṣ, Ḳ, &c.,) ‡ Pregnant winds; so called because they bear the water and the clouds, and turn the latter over and about, and then cause them to send down rain; (TA;) or because they become pregnant, and then impregnate the clouds: (IJ:) the sing. is رِيحٌ لَاقِحٌ, the contr. of which is termed رِيحٌ عَقِيمٌ [or “a barren wind”]: (ISd:) or ريح لاقح signifies ذَاتُ لَقَلَاحٍ [possessing that which impregnates]; like as دِرْهَمٌ وَازِنٌ signifies ذُو وَزْنِ; رَجُلٌ رَامِحٌ, ذُو رُمْحٍ: (AHeyth:) or رياح لواقح signifies impregnating, or fecundating, winds; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) as alsoمَلَاقِحُ↓ [pl. of مُلْقِحَةٌ]: (Ḳ:) or it is not allowable to say مَلَاقِحُ; (Ṣ;) but this is the regular form of the word; because the wind impregnates the clouds; (IJ;) and thus لواقح is extr.: or, as some say, the proper original word is مُلْقِحَةٌ; but the winds do not impregnate unless they are themselves pregnant; as though they were pregnant with good, and, when they raised the clouds, transmitted to them that good. (Ṣ.)

مَلْقُوحَةٌ (IAạr, Ṣ, Ḳ, &c.) and مَلْقُوحٌ, (IAạr,) which latter is also used in a pl. sense, (Aṣ,) What is in the belly of a she-camel: (AʼObeyd, T, Ṣ, Ḳ, &c.:) or what is in the back of the stallion camel; [meaning his progeny in the elemental state;] (Aboo-Saʼeed, Ḳ;) but the former, says Az, is the correct signification: (L:) مَلْقُوحَةٌ is for مَلْقُوحٌ بِهِ, converted into a subst., (Mṣb,) from لُقِحَتْ, like مَحْمُومٌ from حُمَّ, and مَجْنُونٌ from جُنَّ: (Ṣ:) pl. مَلَاقِيحُ. (AʼObeyd, Ṣ, Ḳ, &c.) The Muslims are forbidden to sell مَلَاقِيح and مَضَامِين. (L.) [See the latter of these words.]
