[of mult.] is دُرَجٌ (S, TA) and [of pauc.] أَدْرَاجٌ: (TA:) or it signifies [or signifies also] a piece of rag containing medicine, which is put into a she-camel's vulva when she has a complaint thereof: pl. دُرَجٌ. (L, K.) b2: Also (tropical:) A piece of rag stuffed with cotton, which a woman in the time of the menses puts into her vulva, (K, TA,) to see if there be any remains of the blood: (MF:) likened to the درجــة of a she-camel.

(Msb.) ↓ دَرَجٌ and دَرَجَــاتٌ also signify Stages upwards: opposed to دَرَكٌ and دَرَكَاتٌ: and hence دَرَجَــاتٌ is used in relation to Paradise; and دَرَكَاتٌ, in relation to Hell.
