S:) or,
accord. to
ADk, زلخ here signifies the furthest limit to which an arrow is shot by him who endeavours to shoot it to the utmost distance: or,
accord. to
Lth, the raising the hand, or arm, in shooting an arrow to the furthest possible distance: so says

Lth, but hoped it might be correct. (

accord. to the parent-lexicons, in haste, or quickly; as also زلجان [i. e. زَلَجَانٌ, which is an
inf. n.; and in like manner زَلَخَانٌ and زَلْخَانٌ,
accord. to the

inf. ns., of which the verb is زَلَخَ,
aor. ـُ though it is more probably زَلَخَ]. (

b2: Also (
tropical:) A pain that attacks in the back, (
A,
K,) which consequently becomes hard, or rigid, and rough, (
K,) depriving one of the power of motion (
A,
K) by reason of its violence: (
A:) and some pronounce the word ↓ زُلَخَةٌ, without teshdeed to the ل; and some, erroneously, with ج: (
TA:) or it is a disease that attacks in the back and the side: (
ISd,
TA:) [and ↓ زُلَّخٌ appears to signify the same, or to be a
coll. gen. n.: for]
AA cites the following verse: وَصِرْتُ مِنْ بَعْدِ القَوَامِ أَبْزَخَا الدَّهْرُ بِظَهْرِى زُلَّخَا ↓ وَزَلَّخَ [
