From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root زلق. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

زَلِقَ , aor. زَلَقَ , (K,) inf. n. زَلَقٌ ; (TA;) and زَلَقَ , aor. زَلُقَ , (K,) inf. n. زَلْقٌ ; (TA;) He slipped; syn. زَلَّ ; (K, TA;) for which ذَلَّ is erroneously put in [some of] the copies of the K. (TA. [See also 5.]) And زَلِقَتْ رِجْلُهُ , (S,) or القَدَمُ , (Msb,) aor. زَلَقَ , inf. n. زَلَقٌ , (S, Msb,) His foot, (S,) or the foot, (Msb,) slipped, (S,) or did not remain firm, or fixed, in its place. (Msb.) The former is also said of an arrow, [app. as meaning It slid along the ground,] like زَهِقَ [q. v.]. (JK in art. زهق .) ― -b2- زَلِقَ بِمَكَانِهِ and زَلَقَ , He was, or became, disgusted by, or with, his place, or he loathed it, and removed, withdrew, or retired to a distance, from it. (K, TA.) ― -b3- زَلَقَتْ , said of a she-camel, She was, or became, quick, or swift. (O, TA.) -A2- زَلَقَهُ : see 4. ― -b2- زَلَقَهُ عَنْ مَكَانِهِ , aor. زَلِقَ , (K,) inf. n. زَلْقٌ , (TA,) He removed him from his place. (K, TA.) Hence the reading of Aboo-Jaafar and Náfi', [in the Kur lxviii. 51,] وَاـِنْ يَكَادُ ا@لَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَيَزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ , meaning [And verily they who have disbelieved almost] smite thee with their evil eyes so as to remove thee from thy station in which God has placed thee, by reason of enmity to thee. (TA. [Or this reading may be rendered agreeably with the common reading: see 4.]) ― -b3- زَلَقَ رَأْسَهُ , (S, K,) aor. زَلِقَ , inf. n. زَلْقٌ , (S,) He shaved his head; as also ↓ ازلقهُ ; and ↓ زلّقهُ , (S, K,) inf. n. تَزْلِيقٌ : (S:) IB says that, accord. to 'Alee Ibn-Hamzeh, it is only زَبَقَهُ , with ب ; and that الزَّبْقُ means the plucking out; not the shaving: but accord. to Fr, one says of him who has shaved his head قد زلقه , [whether with or without teshdeed is not shown,] and ازلقه . (TA.)
