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.)

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: (
