(TA.) [See also ?? and جَلَحٌ.] Accord. to Ibn-Seenà, the baldness termed صَلَعٌ does not happen to women, because of the abundance of their moisture; nor to eunuchs, because their constitutions are nearly like those of women.

(TA.) ― -b3- See also 7. -A2- صَلَعَ رَأْسَهُ [perhaps a mistranscription for ↓ صَلَّعَ, and primarily signifying He made his head bald in the fore part:] (tropical:) he shaved his head. (Z, TA.) -A3- صَلَعَ said of such as is termed عِذْيَوْط, [but the verb in this sense is probably ↓ صَلَّعَ, (see this latter,)] He voided his ordure (أَحْدَثَ) on the occasion of جِمَاع. (TA.)

: see above, last sentence but one. ― -b2- صلّعت الحَيَّةُ (tropical:) The serpent came forth from concealment (بَرَزَت) without any earth, or dust, upon it. (Ibn- 'Abbád, O, K, TA. [But in the O, the verb in this and the following senses is carelessly written without the sheddeh.]) -A2- صلّع, inf. n. تَصْلِيعٌ, (said of a man, IAar, TA,) i. q. أَعْذَرَ [meaning He voided his ordure: see تَصْلِيعٌ as a subst., below; and what here follows]. (IAar, K, TA.) And صلّع فُلَانٌ, (inf. n. as above, TA,) Such a one put his hand evenly expanded (K, TA) on the ground (TA) and voided his ordure or his ordure in a thin state (سَلَحَ): (K, TA:) thus expl. by Lth.

(tropical:) The sun rose, or began to rise: syn. بَزَغَت: or culminated: or came forth from the clouds, (O, K, TA,) appearing in the time of intense heat, with nothing intervening and concealing it; (TA;) and so ↓ تِصلّعت, (O, K, TA,) and ↓ صَلَعَت [or more probably صَلِعَت]. (TA.)

, accord. to Reiske, as stated by Freytag, signifies He, or it, was defiled, or polluted; “ conspurcatus fuit: ” but he names no authority.]
