هدهُ,] he returned, or recurred, to it time after time, [see an instance
voce أَخْرَقُ,] or went frequently to it: (Et-Tedmuree,
TA:) and also [i. e. both signify also he paid repeated, or frequent, attention to it; or] he was careful, or mindful, of it; or attentive to it. (

accord. to

ـهْدٌ as signifying “ rain that falls after other rain,” or from the same word as signifying “ a place of abode in which one has known a thing: ” (
TA:) and one may say also ↓ تَعَا
هَدْــتُ; (
Fr,
ISk,
Mgh;) but تَعَـ
ـهَّدْــتُ is more chaste, (El-

هُدٌ is only between two [or more]: (

AHát,
Th,
IF,
Msb,) for the reason just mentioned: (
