accord. to the
K, عَرَكٌ and عُرُوكٌ are pls. of عَرَكِىٌّ; but
IAth says that عُرُوكٌ is
pl. of عَرَكٌ: (
TA:) hence عَرَكٌ is used as meaning sailors, or mariners, (
AA,
S,
O,
K,) because they fish, not as being [properly] a name for them: (
AA,
S, O:) Zuheyr says, تَغْشَى الحُدَاةُ بِهِمْ حُرَّ الكَثِيبِ كَمَا يُغْشِى السَّفَائِنَ مَوْجَ اللُّجَّةِ العَرَكُ [The camel-drivers cover with them the middle of the elevated expanse of sand like as the seamen cause the waves of the deep to cover the ships]: but
AO related this verse otherwise, saying مَوْجُ, in the

epithet applied to the موج as signifying المُتَلَاطِم [as though the meaning were, like as the colliding waves of the deep cover the ships with their surf]. (

syn. صِرِّيعٌ; (
S, O;) in the
K and in some of the copies of the
S صَرِيع, like أَمِير; [which is

Sb, أَرْسَلَهَا العِرَاكَ, (
TA,) He made his camels to come, or go, to the water together; (
S,
O,
K;) the last word being in the
accus. case after the manner of
inf. ns.; (
S, O;) originally عِرَاكًا; then they prefixed ال, which does not change it from its proper state of an
inf. n.: (
S,
O,
K:) it is like the phrases مَرَرْتُ بِهِمُ الجَمَّآءَ الغَفِيرَ and الحَمْدَ لِلّٰهِ: (
S, O:)
IB says that العِرَاكَ and الجَمَّآءَ الغَفِيرَ are in the
accus. case as denotatives of state; and الحَمْدَ لِلّٰهِ as the
inf. n.: but
Sb says that they prefix ال to the

O.)
b2: [Hence, in phrases here following,] (assumed
tropical:) Nature; natural, native, or innate, disposition or temper or the like; (

TA:) and لَانَتْ عَرِيكَتُهُ His pride, or haughtiness, became broken, or subdued: (
S, O:) originally relating to the camel; for they used to betake themselves to the camel when he had the disposition of refusing to be ridden or mounted, and incompliance, and cut [a part] in his hump, it being high, difficult to ride upon; and when this was done, he became quiet, and was rendered inclinable, and the part of him that was the place of riding became easy to sit upon; so one said, قَدْ لَانَتْ عَرِيكَتُهُ (
Har pp. 566-7.) One says also رَجُلٌ مَيْمُونُ العَرِيكَةِ, meaning [A man fortunate, happy, or blest, in natural disposition, or] in mind. (
