مِخْرَاق • (miḵrāq) m (plural مَخَارِيق (maḵārīq))

  1. a twisted kerchief used to beat also in children’s games (equivalent to Germany’s Plumpsack)
    • c. 910, Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn al-Faqīh al-Hamaḏānī, Kitāb al-Buldān‎:
      وَمِنْ عَجَائِبِ مِصْرَ : حَشِيشَةٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا ٱلدِّيسُ ، يُتَّخَذُ مِنْهَا حِبَالٌ لِلسُّفُنِ ، تُسَمَّى تِلْكَ ٱلْحِبَالُ ٱلْقِرْقِسُ، يُؤْخَذُ مِنَ ٱلْقِرْقِسِ قِطْعَةٌ فَيُشْعَلُ بَيْنَ أَيْدِيهِمْ كَٱلشَّمْعِ ، ثُمَّ يُطْفِئُ فَيَمْكُثُ سَائِرَ ٱللَّيْلِ ، فَإِذَا ٱحْتَاجُوا إِلَيْهِ أَخَذُوا طَرَفَهُ فَأَدَارُوهُ كَٱلْمِخْرَاقِ.
      wamin ʕajāʔibi miṣra : ḥašīšatun yuqālu lahā d-dīsu , yuttaḵaḏu minhā ḥibālun li-s-sufuni , tusammā tilka l-ḥibālu l-qirqisu, yuʔḵaḏu mina l-qirqisi qiṭʕatun fayušʕalu bayna ʔaydīhim kaš-šamʕi , ṯumma yuṭfiʔu fayamkuṯu sāʔira l-layli , faʔiḏā ḥtājū ʔilayhi ʔaḵaḏū ṭarafahu faʔadārūhu kal-miḵrāqi.
      Of the wonders of Egypt, there is a grass called diss, and one makes from it ropes for ships, these ropes are called qirqis, one takes from the qirqis a piece and torches it like a candle between the hands, then one extinguishes and it bides the whole night; if you need to put it to use then you take its tip and twist it like a kerchief to burn.
