(S, TA.) It is said in a trad. [cited voce خَجِلَ], إِِذَا جُعْتُنَّ دَقِعْتُنَّ When ye [women] are hungry, ye become lowly, humble, or submissive, and cleave to the dust, or earth; (S, TA;) or ye bear poverty ill. (TA in art. خجل.) ― -b2- He was, or became, grieved, unhappy, or disquieted in mind; as also دَقَعَ, inf. n. دَقْعٌ and دُقُوعٌ; and lowly, humble, submissive, or abased. (TA.) ― -b3- He was, or became, lowly, humble, or submissive, in seeking, or requesting, an object of want, and desired it vehemently. (TA.) ― -b4- He was, or became, content with mean sustenance.

(S, K; but only the inf. n., as above, is mentioned in them.) [Thus the verb bears two contr. meanings.] El-Kumeyt says, “ وَلَمْ يَدْقَعُوا عِنْدَ مَا نَابَهُمْ
لِصَرْفِ زَمَانٍ وَلَمْ يَخْجَلُوا
