غرنق
غَرْنَقَةٌ An amorous playing with the eyes. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) غِرْنَاقٌ: see غُرْنَيْقٌ, last sentence.
غُرْنُوقٌ is held by the author of the K to be wrongly mentioned by J in art. غرق, on the ground of the saying that the ن is radical; and IJ says that Sb has mentioned غُرْنَيْقٌ among quadriliteral-radical words: but there is a difference of opinion on this point; for AHei asserts that the ن in غُرْنُوقٌ and in all its dial. vars. is augmentative. (TA.) b2: See غُرْنَيْقٌ, in two places. b3: Also sing. of غَرَانِقُ, which signifies (assumed tropical:) Certain trees: (Aboo-Ziyád, O, K:) or, as also ↓ غُرَانِقٌ, sing. of غَرَانِيقُ, which signifies the tender sprouts at the root, or lower part, of the عَوْسَج [or box-thorn]: (AA, O, K:) likened to a tender youth, because of their freshness and beauty: (TA:) or غُرْنُوقٌ signifies a tender and concealed plant; (K, TA;) or, accord. to one copy [of the K], a tender, spreading plant: mentioned by AHn.

(O, TA.) It is related of the Prophet that [when he was reciting the words of the Kur (liii. 19 and 20), “Have ye considered El-Lát, and El-'Ozzà, and Menáh, the other third? ”] the Devil put into his mouth the saying تِلْكَ الغَرَانِيقُ العُلَى [Those are the most high غرانيق, as though meaning cranes, for the Numidian crane is remarkable in the East for its superlatively-high flight]; referring, as IAar says, to the idols, which were asserted to be intercessors with God, wherefore they are likened to the birds that rise high into the sky: (O, TA: *) or غرانيق may in this case be a pl. of one of the sings. expl. in what here follows [but applied to females].
