S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K,) so that it is unsubstantial, not firm, or strong, or tough: (

TA:) the
pl. is أَفَقٌ, (
Lh,
JK,
S,
Msb,
K,) like as أَدَمٌ is
pl. of أَدِيمٌ, (
S,) or this is a
quasi-pl. n., (
M,
K,) and أُفُقٌ (
JK,
K) is allowable, (
JK,) or,
accord. to
Lh, it is not allowable, (
TA,) and [
pl. of pauc.] آفِقَةٌ, (
As,
S,
K,) like as آدمَةٌ and أَرْغِفَةٌ are pls. of أَدِيمٌ and رَغِيفٌ. (

S,
K,) or, as
IB says,

IF,
K.) Also applied to a horse, Generous with respect to both parents:
fem. with ة. (
