i. q. تَلَجَّنَ: (

TA:) [or became flaccid, and of a viscous consistency, or viscous or mucilaginous in its juice; as appears from what here follows]. Ru-beh says, [in the
S, El-'Ajjáj,] describing a pair af asses, male and female, وَفَرَعَا مِنْ رَعْىِ مَا تَلَزَّجَا [And they finished pasturing upon what had become flaccid, and of a viscous consistency]. For, says
J, [immediately after citing these words of the poet,] when herbage begins to dry up, its juice thickens, and becomes like the mucilage of the خِطْمِىّ [or marsh-mallow]. (
TA.) Or the words of the poet, above quoted, signify, And they finished pasturing upon what they had searched after constantly, or time after time: for تَلَزُّجٌ also signifies the searching of a beast of carriage after herbage and leguminous plants, constantly, or time after time: and the two asses are here the agents of the verb تلزّجا.
