Wehr Wednesdays #65

A new word or phrase from the Hans Wehr dictionary, every Wednesday.


بحلق bahlaqa: بحلق عينيه (‘ainaihi) to stare, gaze (في at)


Root: ب-ح-ل-ق

Page: 54*

Example: “بَحْلَقَتْ عَيْنَيْها فيهِ وَهُوَ يَمْشي بِاْتِّجاهِها”

Translation: “she stared at him as he was walking towards her”


Note:

بَحْلَقَ / يُبَحْلِقُ is an example of a verb from a quadriliteral root.

Taking a look at our last post, Quadriliteral Arabic Verb Forms, can you work out which form it is?
