رقص الهجع: (اسم)

الرقص بالسلاح الابيض.

خاصة- رقص تحرك فيه اليد، والسكين/الخنجر بها، بطريقة تحاكي طعن الشخص لنفسه، وخاصة في منطقتي الربع السفلي من البطن.

ملحوظة: تكتب "الهجع" بالجيم، ولكن سمعت، على اليوتيوب، الناس تلفظها جيم مثلثة. على طاري اليوتيوب، ببحثك لليوتيوب عن "الهجع"، تظهر اغنية ساجدة عبيد التي ذكرت فيه هذه الكلمة (سبب تعرفي على الكلمة). كما اني لست متاكد من صحة معناي، فقط قمت باستخلاص المعنى من فيديو ("قصة المطربة حمدية صالح الغريبة،بنتها طعنت نفسها اثناء رقصه الهجع،وشنو تقربلها البرتقالة")، ومن فيديو للرقصة.

♪ لاله ولك، من علمك رقص الهجع؟ ♪

Want to take The Living Arabic Project's dictionaries wherever you go? Download the mobile app Lughatuna! It costs a little bit, but purchasing it supports the project so more cool dictionaries and new features can be added.

A Living Project

This site is always growing. What started out as a simple word list on a student's desktop has evolved into two of the largest dialect dictionaries ever written for the Egyptian and Levantine dialects with plans for additional dialects and a growing Classical Arabic (Fusha) dictionary, all run on a uniquely structured database designed for Arabic's diglossia. To make it practical and accessible, there are apps and learning resources appropriate for all levels of users.

Dictionaries

Imagine Arabic

Arabic is hard and complex, but also rich and deep. Imagine learning tools that map out Arabic for you and help you learn it. That's what this site is. It has dictionaries for Egyptian, Levantine, and Classical Arabic, and it has apps and learning resources to help you access the language.

Not Just a List of Definitions

These dictionaries are more than just a list of words, they are guides to the Arabic language. The uniquely structured database allows users to search by Arabic word, English word, and Arabic root. There are also thousands of examples to show users how to properly use words and listing common phrases and proverbs.
