q. v.]. (
O.) عُمْقِىُّ الكَلَامِ A man whose speech has depth. (
TA.) عَمِيقٌ is of the
dial. of the people of El-Hijáz: and the tribe of Temeem say مَعِيقٌ. (

transposition, (
O,) A deep well: (
S, *
O, *
Msb,
K, *
TA:)
pl. عُمُقٌ and عِمَقٌ and عَمَائِقُ and عِمَاقٌ. (

voce عَمْقٌ;] and, applied to a road, عَمِيقٌ is more used than مَعِيقٌ: (
Lth,
TA:) or عَمِيقٌ applied to a فَجّ signifies long; (
K;) or,
app.,
accord. to
IAar, not thus when applied to a فَجّ as meaning a road. (
TA. [See عَمْقٌ.]) عَمَاقِيَةٌ: see عِمْقَى.

IAar mentions his having heard one of the Arabs of chaste speech say, رَأَيْتُ خَلِيقَةً فَمَا رَأَيْتُ أَعْمَقَ مِنْهَا i. e. [I saw] a recently-dug well [and I have not seen any deeper than it]. (
