(Th, S, O. Msb, K.) 2 فَلَّجَ see 1, former half: b2: and see also فَلَجٌ, in two places.3 فالجهُ He contended with him, trying which of them should succeed, or overcome. (TA.)

A3: Also, and ↓ فِلْجٌ, (S, O, K,) and ↓ فُلُجٌّ, [q. v.,] (Seer, L,) [or perhaps this is a mistranscription for فَلْجٌ or فِلْجٌ,] The half of a thing: (S, O, K:) pl. of the first and second فُلُوجٌ.

(Mgh.) فَلَجٌ: see فُلْجٌ, in two places.

فُلُجٌّ, [thus in the L,] accord. to Sb, A sort of men: one says, النَّاسُ فُلُجَّانِ The people, or men, are two sorts; [for ex.,] consisting of entering and going out: [but I think it most probable that فُلُجٌّ and فُلُجَّانِ are mistranscriptions for فِلْجٌ and فِلْجَانِ, for] Seer says that فلج signifying “ a half ” and “ a sort ” is derived from فِلْجٌ syn. with قَفِيزٌ: thus he makes فِلْجٌ an Arabic word. (L.) See also فَلْجٌ.

فِلْجَانٌ, [said to be] from فِلْجٌ signifying “ a certain measure of capacity,” [but app. from the Pers\. فِنْجَان,] A [small porcelain or earthenware] cup out of which coffee &c. is drunk; commonly pronounced by the vulgar فِنْجَان and فِنْجَال [from the Pers\. پِنْگَان and پِنْگَال, and also called ↓ فِلْجَانَةٌ, vulgarly فِنْجَانَة; and ↓ فِيَالَجَة: (see سَوْمَلَةٌ:) pl. فَلَاجِينُ and فَنَاجِينُ and فَنَاجِيلُ].

[or n. un.] is with ة: (M, TA:) [or] فَلِيجٌ signifies a single oblong piece of a بِجَاد [q. v.]; and its pl. is فُلُجٌ: (L and TA in art. بجد:) and [in like manner] ↓ فَلْجَةٌ signifies a piece of a بِجَاد.

(S, M, K; all in art. صر.) b3: And الفَالِجُ signifies [Palsy, or paralysis, whether partial or general; hemiplegia or paraplegia:] a disease arising from a flaccidity in one of the lateral halves of the body; (A;) or a flaccidity in one of the lateral halves of the body, (K, TA,) arising suddenly, (TA,) occasioned by an efflux of a phlegmatic humour, and causing the passages of the spirit to become obstructed; (K, TA;) this being its first effect; it deprives the patient of his senses and his motion; and is sometimes in one member: (TA:) or a flatus (رِيحٌ S, O, L, TA) which attacks a man, and deprives him [of the use] of one lateral half of the body; (thus in the L, and the like is said in the 'Eyn; TA;) whence it is thus called: (IDrd, S, O:) or a disease that arises in one of the lateral halves of the body, occasioning the loss of the senses and of motion, and sometimes in both lateral halves, and sudden in its attack; on the seventh [day] it is dangerous; but when it has passed the seventh, its acuteness ceases; and when it has passed the fourteenth, it becomes a chronic disease: (Msb:) it is called in a trad. of Aboo-Hureyreh دَآءُ الأَنْبِيَآءِ [the disease of the prophets]: and is said by Et-Tedmuree, in the Expos. of the Fs, to be a disease that attacks a man when the venters (بُطُون) of the brain become filled with certain moistures, or humours, occasioning the loss of sensation and of the motions of the members, and rendering the patient like a dead person, understanding nothing. (TA.) A3: أَنَا مِنْ هٰذَا الأَمْرِ فَالِجُ بْنُ خَلَاوَةَ, or كَفَالِجِ بْنِ خَلَاوَةَ, is a saying expl. in art. خلو.

فَيْلَجٌ [The cocoon of a silk-worm;] the thing from which قَزّ is obtained: an arabicized word; [from the Pers\. پِيلَهْ pélah; but said to be] originally فَيْلَق, and thus some pronounce it. (Msb,) فِيَالَجَةٌ: see فِلْجَانٌ. [فَيَالِجَة occurs in art. قز.

in the TA, as its pl.; being there expl. as meaning small cups (فَنَاجِين) in which wine (شَرَاب) is drunk: but I think that this may be taken from a mistranscription for فِيَالَجَة.]
