(TA.) It is observed in the S, with reference to ذُرُّوحٌ, that, in the opinion of Sb, لَيْسَ فِى الكَلَامِ فُعَّوْلٌ بِوَاحِدَةٌ; meaning, there is not in the language a subst. (as distinguished from an epithet) of the measure فُعَّوْلٌ; (marg. note in a copy of the S;) or his meaning is, [there is not a word of this measure] with damm alone; (MF;) or with a single dammeh, that is, to the ف; but with dammeh to the ف and to the ع: (IB:) and it is added in the S, that he (Sb) used to say سَبُّوحٌ and قَدُّوسٌ: Sb, however, also mentions the forms سُبُّوحٌ and قُدُّوسٌ.

Sb says that the sing. of ذَرَارِيحُ is ذُرَحْرَحٌ, (or, in other words, that one of the [insects called] ذراريح is [called]

ذرحرح,) which is of the measure فُعَلْعَلٌ, and of which the dim. is ↓ ذُرَيْرِحٌ, formed by throwing out the first ذُريْرِحٌ; [not ح, as it would be by rule, making it of the measure ذُرَيْحِرٌ, and its curtailed original فُعَيْلِعٌ;] for there is not in the language a word of the measure فعلع, except فعلع, (S,) which is the proper name of a man. (MF.) AHát cites a verse in which حَدْرَدٌ occurs as pl. of ذَرَانِحُ; but the correct reading is ذرنوح. (MF.) ذَرَارِحُ and ذَرُّوحٌ and ذُرُّوحٌ: see ذُرَّاحٌ.

(MF.) 5 تذنّب عَلَى فُلَانٍ He accused such a one of a sin, crime, fault, misdemeanour, or the like, which he had not committed, or though he had not committed any. (A, TA.)

(S, M, A, Msb, K.) [Hence the following phrases &c.] b2: رَكِبَ ذَنَبَ البَعِيرِ [lit. He rode on the tail of the camel, meaning] (tropical:) he was content with a deficient lot.

(T.) [Accord. to the K, it also signifies A grave: but this is evidently a mistake, which seems to have arisen from a misunderstanding of a statement by ISd, who says,] Aboo-Dhu-eyb uses it metaphorically in relation to a grave, calling it [i. e. the grave] a well, in his saying, فَكُنْتُ ذَنُوبَ البِئْرَ لَمَّا تَبَسَّلَتْ وَسُرْبِلْتُ أَكْفَانِى وَوُسِّدْتُ سَاعِدِى

[app. meaning (tropical:) And I was as though I were the corpse of the grave (lit. the bucket of the well) when she frowned, and clad with my grave-clothes, and made to recline upon my upper arm: for the corpse is laid in the grave upon its right side, or so inclined that the face is turned towards Mekkeh]. (M.) [And Umeiyeh Ibn-Abee- 'Áïdh El-Hudhalee, describing a wild he-ass and she-asses, likens to it a certain rate of running which he contrasts with another rate likened by him to a well such as is termed خَسِيفٌ: see Kosegarten's “ Carmina Hudsailitarum,” p. 189.]

b4: Hence metaphorically applied to (tropical:) Rain.

A2: Accord. to Fr and the S, it signifies also A fluid like mucus that falls from the noses of camels: but this is a mistake: the right word, as stated by IB and others, is ذُنَانَى. (L, MF, TA.) ذُنَيْبَآءُ A certain grain that is found in wheat, whereof the latter is cleared [by winnowing or other means]. (M, K.) [See also ذُنَيْنَآءُ, in art. ذن.]

1 ذَادَ, (M, A,) first Pers\. ذُدْتُ, (T, S,) aor. ـُ (T, A,) inf. n. ذَوْدٌ, (T,) or ذِيَادٌ, (S,) or both, (M, A, K,) He drove: (S, M, K:) he drove away: (T, S, M, A, K:) and he repelled. (M, K.) You say, ذَدْتُ الإِبِلَ I drove the camels: (S:) and I drove them away: (T, S:) and [so ↓ ذَوَّدْتُهَا, for] تَذْوِيدٌ signifies the same as ذِيَادٌ. (S.) And ذاد الإِبَلِ عَنِ المَآءِ, (A, Msb,) aor. ـُ inf. n. ذَوْدٌ and ذِيَادٌ, He (the pastor) [drove away, or repelled, or] kept back, or debarred, the camels from the water; or prevented them from coming to it.

[In the K, أَذَدْتُهُ is said to signify أَعَنْتُهُ عَلَى ذِيَادِ

أَهْلِهِ: but اهله is app. a mistake for إِبِلِهِ: or عَنْ is omitted before اهله; and if so, the meaning is I aided, or assisted, him to defend his family; but in this latter case, we should read ذِيَادٍ, which would be less chaste than الذِّيَادِ.]

ذَوْدٌ A number of camels, from three to ten: (Lth, Az, As, T, S, M, A, Mgh, Msb, K:) this is the meaning that is of best repute: (TA:) [in this explanation in the T from Az, and in the K, the nouns of number are mase.; and so in the next here following: in the rest, fem.:] or from three to ten: and a little more: (IAar, M:) or from three to nine: (M, L:) or from three to fifteen: or from three to twenty; (M, L, K;) and a little more: (L:) or from three to thirty: (M, L, K:) or from two to nine: (M, Mgh, L, K:) [said to be] applied only to females: (Lth, A'Obeyd, T, M, Mgh, Msb, K:) so in the Bári': (Msb:) and it is of the fem. gender; (T, S, M, Msb, K;) i. e., the word is fem.: (MF:) but its dim. is [↓ ذُوَيْدٌ,] without ة; contr. to analogy: (M:) the word ذَوْدٌ is a pl., (M, K,) meaning a quasipl. n., (MF,) having no sing. (S, M, K) of the same root: (S:) or a sing.; (K;) and its pl. is أَذْوَادٌ: (T, S, M, A, Msb, K:) or a sing. and pl.: (M, K:) the Arabs said ثَلَاثُ أَذْوَادٍ and ثَلَاثُ ذَوْدٍ and so with all the inferior ns. of number, making ذَوْد a substitute for أَذْوَاد: and they also said ثَلَاثُ ذَوْدٍ meaning thereby three she-camels. (M, L.) It is said in a trad., لَيْسَ فِيمَا دُونَ خَمْسِ ذَوْدٍ مِنَ الإِبِلِ صَدَقَةٌ, (T, L,) or لَيْسَ فِىأَقَلَّ مِنْ خَمْسٍ ذَوْدٍ صَدَقَةٌ, (T, Msb,) meaning [There is not in the case of less than five] camels [any poorrate]: for the poor-rate is incumbent on him who possesses five camels whether they be males or females. (L.) And in another trad. it is said, فِى خَمْسِ ذَوْدٍ شَاةٌ [In the case of five camels, a sheep or goat shall be given]. (Mgh.) And it is said in a prov., الذَّوْدُ إِلَى الذَّوْدِ إِبِلٌ [A few she-camels with a few she-camels are a herd of camels]; (T, S, M, A;) meaning that a little with a little is much; الى being here used in the sense of مَعَ: (S, A:) or الى is here used in its proper sense; a word signifying “ joined ” or the like being understood; (TA;) i. e. a few joined to a few becomes much: (M:) [or,] accord. to the K [and the T], this prov. shows that ذود is here used in the place of اِثْنَتَانِ [i. e. two she-camels]; for two added to two are a pl.; but this requires consideration. (MF.) ذُوَيْدٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

ذَوَّادٌ: see the next following paragraph.

ذَائِدٌ Driving: driving away: and repelling: pl. ذُوَّدٌ and ذُوَّادٌ and ذَادَةٌ. (M, K.) b2: Also, and ↓ ذَوَّادٌ, [but the latter has an intensive meaning,] (assumed tropical:) A man who is a defender, or protector, of that which, or those whom, it is necessary to defend, or protect: (S, K:) who is wont to repel attacks upon his honour.

(S, TA.) b5: (tropical:) [A man who defends well, or vigorously; as also ↓ مِذْوَادٌ:] you say رِجَالٌ مَذَاوِدٌ and مَذَاوِيدُ. (A.) b6: The manger (مِعْلَف, T, K, TA, in some copies of the K معتلف, TA) of a horse or similar beast. (T, K. [A manger is thus called in the present day.]) مِذْوَادٌ: see the next preceding paragraph. Quasi ذور ذَارَتْ for ذَارَّتْ or ذَآءَرَتْ: see 3 in art. ذر.

(TA.) Also The going lightly: (JK:) you say, رَهَتْ, aor. and inf. n. as above, They, [i. e. camels or the like,] or she, went lightly. (TA.) And The going vehemently. (TA.)
