R. Q. 1 دَأْدَأَ, inf. n. دَأْدَأَةٌ and دِئْدَآءٌ, He (a camel, S) ran (عَدَا) most vehemently, (S, M, K, TA,) going a pace quicker than that termed عَنَقٌ [q. v.]: (TA:) or hastened, or sped, and ran, or rose in his running; syn. أَسْرَعَ وَ أَحْضَرَ: (K:) accord. to AA, ↓ دَأْدَآءٌ is [a subst., or quasiinf. n., signifying] a quick pace or manner of going: and [the inf. n.] دَأْدَأَةٌ is syn. with إِحْضَارٌ: and in the Nawádir [app. of Aboo-'Amr EshSheybánee] it is said that دَوْدَأَ (inf. n. دَوْدَأَةٌ) and تَوْدَأَ (inf. n. تَوْدَأَةٌ) and كَوْدَأَ (inf. n. كَوْدَأَةٌ) are syn. with عَدَا; and that دَأْدَأَةٌ and دِئْدَآءٌ signify a camel's proceeding with short steps, at a rate quicker than that of the pace termed حَفَدٌ [q. v.]: accord. to the Kf, these two words signify the going a pace quicker than that termed خَبَبٌ [q. v.], not so quick as that termed رَبَعَةٌ [q. v.]. (TA.) You say, دَأْدَأَتِ الدَّابَّةُ The beast ran a pace quicker than that termed عَنَقٌ. (M.) and دَأْدَأَ فِى إِثْرِهِ He followed him, having him near before him. (M, * K, * TA.) And hence, دَأْدَأَ مِنْهُ He ran (أَحْضَرَ) to escape from him, being followed by him, and being near before him; as also ↓ تَدَأْدَأَ. (M.) A2: He put a thing in motion.
