Az,
M,
K) and صُلَفَآءُ and صَلِفُونَ: (
Az,
O,
K:) it is said to be from صَلِفٌ applied to a vessel,
accord. to
IAar as meaning “ that takes little water; ” but rather, as others say, as meaning “ thick and heavy: ” the vulgar misapply it [
app. by using it in the sense assigned to it by
IAar]. (

O,
K.)
A3: اصلف القَوْمُ, (thus in the
O, on the authority of Ibn-'Abbád, [like أَحْزَنَ, and its
contr. أَسْهَلَ, &c.,]) or ↓ تصلّف, (thus in the

TA is there said to be like كَتِفٌ.])
b6: And صَلِفَةٌ signifies A woman not in favour with, or not beloved by, (
S,
M,
O,
K,) her husband, (
S,
O,

TA. [And in some copies of the
K, شِقَّيْهِمَا is there erroneously put for شِقَّيْهَا, which, as is said in the
TA, refers to the neck.]) أَخَذَ بِصَلِيفِهِ and ↓ بِصَلِيفَتِهِ mean,
accord. to
As, He took hold of the back of his neck: (
O,
TA:) and one says also, ↓ أَخَذَهُ بِصَلِيفَتِهِ meaning He took him, or it, altogether. (

M,
O,
K, * [in the last, erroneously, صَلَافِى, and in the
O, correctly, الصَّلَافِى, being made determinate,]) thus pluralized in the same manner as صَحْرَآء because the quality of a
