مَحْرُوقٌ محروق : see حَرِيقٌ. -A2- Having his حَارِقَة [q. v.] severed; (S, TA;) as also ↓ حَرِقٌ ; which latter is [said to be] the more common: (TA:) [but this I doubt:] or, as some say, (S,) having his kip dislocated: (S, K:) [pl. of the latter, deviating from rule, ↓ حُرَّاقٌ , occurring in a verse below.] The ràjiz says, (S,) namely, Aboo-Mohammad El-Hadhlamee, (TA,) describing a pastor, (S,) “ يَظَلُّ تَحْتَ الفَنَنِ الوَرِيقِ
يَشُولُ بِالمِحْجَنِ كَالمَحْرُوقِ
” [He continues, or continues during the day, beneath the leafy branch, raising the crookedheaded stick, like the محروق]: i. e. he stands upon one leg, stretching himself up towards the branches, and drawing them to him with the محجن, and shaking off their leaves for the camels: (S, TA:) or he stands upon the extremities of his toes, [see حَارِقَةٌ,] in order to reach the branch and bend it to his camels. (ISd, TA. But see another meaning of the last word, below.) And another says, “ هُمُ الغِرْبَانُ فِى حُرُمَاتِ جَارٍ
الوُرُوكِ ↓ وَفِى الأَدْنَيْنَ حُرَّاقُ
” [They are like the crows in respect of the sacred rights of a neighbour; and in respect of inferiors, like those who are dislocated in the hips, or who have the sinews of the hip-joints severed]: i. e., when a neighbour having a sacred right to respect alights among them, they are like the crow, which loaths not the gall on the back nor that which is unclean; and in wrongful treatment of their inferiors, like the محروق, who walks with an inclining of the body (يَمْشِى مُتَجَانِفًا); and they abstain from aiding and defending them. (S, TA.) -A3- Accord. to Ibn-'Abbád, in the saying of the rájiz cited above, it means (TA) The iron instrument with which one roasts meat; syn. سَفُّود. (K, TA.)
