2 رنّق ذ , (S, K,) inf. n. تَرْنِيقٌ, (IAar, S,) He rendered water turbid, thick, or muddy; (IAar, S, K;) as also ↓ ارنق . (S, K.) ― -b2- And the former, He cleared it; rendered it clear: thus it bears two contr. significations. (IAar, K.) [Hence,] one says, رنّق ا@للّٰهُ قَذَاتَكَ May God clear away thy قذاة [or mote in the eye; probably meaning (assumed tropical:) that which annoys thee]. (IAar, K) -A2- Also, as an intrans. verb, He was, or became, confounded, or perplexed, and unable to see his right course. (TA.) And تَرْنِيقٌ signifies A man's standing, not knowing whether to go or come. (TA.) And The being weak, or infirm, [and, app., disordered, or perturbed,] in sight, and in body, and in an affair or case. (S, K.) Hence, (TA,) رنّقوا فِى الأَمْرِ They confused the judgment, or opinion, [that they formed, or they were confused in judgment or opinion,] in, or respecting, the affair, or case. (S, K.) ― -b2- Also He paused and waited. (TA.) [Hence the saying,] رَمَّدَتِ المِعْزَى فَرَنِّقْ رَنِّقْ, (JK, S, K,) i. e. The she-goats have secreted milk in their udders; (JK;) but wait thou, wait thou, (JK, S, TA,) for their bringing forth, (S, TA,) for they show signs, but do not bring forth until after some time: (S:) thou wilt have to wait long for them: (TA:) sometimes it is said with م [in the place of ن], and also with د [in the place of ر]: (S, TA:) it is mentioned in art. ربق [q. v.]. (K. [See also art. رمق.]) ― -b3- Also He continued looking; (S, K, TA, in this art. and in art. رمق;) like رمّق. (S and TA in the same two arts.) And you say also, رنّق إِِلَيْهِ النَّظُرَ and دنّق [meaning He continued looking at it]. (S in art. دنق.) And رنّق النَّظَرَ meaning [He looked covertly, or clandestinely; or] he concealed the looking. (TA.) ― -b4- Said of a company of men, They remained, stayed, dwelt, or abode, in a place (بِمَكَانٍ), (S, K,) and confined themselves therein. (S.) ― -b5- Said of a bird, He flapped his wings in the air, (S, K,) and remained steady, (S,) not flying: (S, K:) or flapped his wings in the air without alighting and without quitting his place: or it has two meanings: i. e. he expanded his wings in the air without moving them: and he flapped his wings. (TA.) Hence, said of a captive, He stretched out his neck on the occasion of slaughter, like the bird expanding his wings. (TA.) [Hence also,] رنّقت السَّفِينَةُ (JK, TA) فِى مَكَانِهَا (JK) The ship turned round in its place without proceeding in its course. (JK, TA.) ― -b6- رنّقت الشَّمْسُ The sun became near to setting. (TA. [See also دنّقت.]) And رنّقت مِنْهُ المَنِيَّةُ (tropical:) Death was near to befalling him: a metaphorical phrase from رنّق said of a bird. (TA.) ― -b7- رنٌّ النَّوْمُ (S, K) فِى عَيْنَيْهِ (K) (tropical:) Sleep pervaded (خَالَطَ) his eyes, (S, Z, Sgh, K,) without his sleeping. (Z, TA.) -A3- تَرْنِيقٌ also signifies The breaking of the wing of a bird by a shot or throw, or by disease, so that he, or it, falls. (Lth, K.) [You say of the bird رُنِّقَ or رُنِّقَ جَنَاحُهُ His wing was broken &c. See the pass. part. n., below.]
