2 عنّق عَلَيْهِ ذ , inf. n. تَعْنِيقٌ, He went along and looked down upon it or came in sight of it; expl. by مَشَى وَأَشْرَفَ. (O, K.) ― -b2- عنّقت السَّحَابَةُ The cloud emerged from the main aggregate of the clouds, and was seen white by reason of the sun's shining upon it. (TA.) ― -b3- عنّقِت ا@سْتُهُ His posteriors, or his anus, protruded; syn. خَرَجَت. (O, K.) ― -b4- عنّقت كَوَافِيرُ النَّخْلِ The spathes of the palm-trees became long, (O, K,) but had not split open. (O.) ― -b5- عنّقت البُسْرَةُ The date that had begun to colour ripened nearly as far as the قِمَع [or base] thereof, (K, TA,) so that there remained of it around that part what was like the finger-ring. (TA.) -A2- عنّقهُ He took him by his neck, and squeezed his throat, or fauces. (O, * L, K. *) It is related in a trad., that the Prophet said to Umm-Selemeh, when a sheep, or goat, of a neighbour of her's had come in and taken a cake of bread from beneath a jar belonging to her, and she had taken it from between its jaws, مَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِى لَكِ أَنْ تُعَنِّقِيهَا i. e. [It did not behoove thee] that thou shouldst take hold of its neck and squeeze it: or the meaning is, that thou shouldst disappoint it; (O, K;) from عنّقهُ signifying he disappointed him; (K;) which is from العَنَاقُ: (O:) or, as some relate it, he said ان تُعَنِّكِيهَا, (O, K,) i. e., that thou shouldst distress it, and treat it roughly: (O:) and تُعَنِّفِيَهَا, with ف, would be approvable if agreeing with a relation. (O, K. *) And it is also related in a trad., that he said to the women of 'Othmán Ibn-Madh'oon, when he died, الشَّيْطَانِ ↓ اِبْكِينَ وَإِِيَّاكُنَّ وَتَعَنُّقَ , if correct, [meaning Weep ye, but beware ye of the Devil's seizing by the neck, and squeezing the throat,] from عنّقهُ as first expl. above: but it is by some related otherwise, i. e. وَنَعِيقَ الشيطان. (L.)
