b2: ارقل, (

JK,
Msb,
TA,)
inf. n. as above, (
JK,

Msb,) He, or she, went quickly; (
JK,
K;) went a sort of quick pace; (
Msb;) went a sort of pace of the kind termed خَبَب [

A2: Accord. to
Lth and the
K, ارقل also signifies He traversed, or crossed, a desert: and
Lth cites the following verse of El-'Ajjáj [as his authority for this explanation]: لَاهُمَّ رَبِّ البَيْتِ وَالمُشَرَّقِ وَالمُرْقِلَاتِ كُلَّ سُهْبٍ سَمْلَقِ but
Az says that this is a mistake of
Lth; that كُلَّ is here an adv.
n.; and that the meaning is, [O God, by the Lord of the House (of Mekkeh) and of the Musharrak (the mosque of El-Kheyf) and] by the Lord of the swift she-camels in every even plain: and
ISd also has notified the same. (
TA.) رَقْلٌ: see the next paragraph, in two places.
