(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.

(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.
