الفلك: السفينة، ويستعمل ذلك للواحد والجمع، وتقديراهما مختلفان، فإن الفلك إن كان واحدا كان كبناء قفل، وإن كان جمعا فكبناء حمر.

المفردات في غريب القرآن — الراغب الأصفهاني

قوله تعالى: ﴿كل في فلك يسبحون﴾ [الأنبياء:33] الفلك: مجرى الكواكب، وقيل: الأفلاك: هيئة مستديرة كالتي للساقية، وبعضها يدخل في بعض، أعلاها الفلك الأطلس وهو الفلك الأثير. ويقال له الفلك المحيط، ولأهل الهيئة فيها كلام ليس هذا موضع بيانه.
