n. from أُفُقٌ, (
Msb,) and some (namely the lawyers, in relation to pilgrimage and the like,
MF) say ↓ آفَاقِىٌّ, (

MF,) which is incorrect, (
Mgh,

ISk,
S,

As,
Th,
JK,
S,
Mgh,

K,) or the latter is a more particular term than the former, like as جِلْدَةٌ is more so than جِلْدٌ, (
Mgh,) and ↓ أَفِقٌ, (
K, [but see what follows,]) The skin, or hide, that is not completely tanned, (
S,
Mgh,
Msb,
K,) so that it is unsubstantial, not firm, or strong, or tough: (
Mgh:) when its tanning is complete, and it becomes red, it is termed أَدِيم: therefore أَفِيقٌ is of the measure فَعِيلٌ in the sense of the measure مَفْعُولٌ: (
Msb:) or in the second stage of its tanning; for in the first stage it is termed مَنِيْئَة; then, افيق; and then, اديم: (

ISd says, I think that
Th has mentioned ↓ أَفِقٌ as
syn. with أَفِيقٌ, and explained it as signifying the skin, or hide, that is not tanned; but I am not sure of it: (
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. (
As,
S.) ↓ أَفِيقَةٌ signifies also A سِقَآء [or skin for water or milk &c.] made of a hide of the kind termed أَفِيق. (

JK,]) from أَفِقَ, (
S,
K,) or, as
IB says,
accord. to
Kz, from أَفَقَ,
aor. اَفِقَ, and so
accord. to
Kr, and shown to be of the measure فَاعِلٌ by several verses in which it occurs, (
TA,) One who has attained the utmost degree in generosity; (
S,
K;) or in knowledge, or science; or in chasteness of speech, or eloquence, and in the combination of excellent qualities; (
K;) as also ↓ أَفِيقٌ: (
K:)
fem. with ة. (
IF,
K.) Also applied to a horse, Generous with respect to both parents:
fem. with ة. (
S.) And applied to a camel, That excites admiration and approval by his generousness, excellence, high blood, or the like; (
JK;) and so ↓ أُفُقٌ, (
