5 تَعَقَّمَ In the saying of a poet, (S,) namely, Rabee'ah Ibn-Makroom Ed-Dabbee, (TA,) “ وَمَآءٍ آجِنِ الجَمَّاتِ قَفْرٍ
تَعَقَّمُ فِى جَوَانِبِهِ السِّبَاعُ
” the meaning is تَحْتَفِرُ [i. e. the verse means Many a water, or and a water, of which the supplies are altered for the worse, and which is deserted, by the sides of which the beasts of prey dig hollows in the ground, app. to obtain water that has become purified by filtration]: or, as some say, the meaning is تَرَدَّدُ [i. e. go to and fro].
