Pers\. دُدْتَ,] aor. ـُ (Msb;) inf. n. دَوْدٌ; (M, L, K; [in my copy of the Msb دَادٌ, which, I doubt not, is a mistranscription;]) and ↓ اداد, (T, S, M, A, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِدَادَةٌ; (Msb;) and ↓ دوّد, (T, S, M, A, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَدْوِيدٌ; (Msb;) and دِيدَ; (M, L, and so in some copies of the K; [see its part. n. مَدُودٌ, voce دَائِدٌ, below;] in other copies of the K دَيَّدَ [which is app. a mistranscription];) It (corn, or food, طَعَام,) had in it دُود (M, A, L, Msb, K) or سُوس (S, L) [i. e. worms, grubs, or maggots]; and became eaten thereby. (L.) ↓ أَعْزِمُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا الجُرْحُ أَنْ لَا تَزِيدَ وَلَا تُدِيدَ [I conjure thee, O wound, that thou increase not nor breed worms,] is a form of conjuration used by the Arabs. (A.) 2 دوّد: see above.

A2: Also He played with the دَوْدَاة, i. e. أُرْجُوَحة [or seesaw]. (K.) 4 اداد: see 1, in two places.

دُودٌ a word of well-known signification, [Worms, grubs, maggots, and the like; including molluscs; as a coll. gen. n.: and, as a simple gen. n., the worm, grub, maggot, &c.:] pl. of دُودَةٌ [or rather, as already said, and as is implied in several of the lexicons, دُودٌ is a coll. gen. n.; therefore دُودَةٌ is the n. un. thereof]: and the pl. of دُودٌ is دِيدَانٌ. (T, S, L, Msb. [In the K, دِيدَانٌ is said to be pl. of دُودَةٌ: and in the L, as from the T, دُودَانٌ is said to be another pl. of دُودٌ: this, however, I regard as a mistake; for I do not find it in the T; but I there find added, after دِيدَانٌ, “ and دُودَانٌ is a tribe of Benoo-Asad. ”]) J says that the dim. is ↓ دُوَيْدٌ, and that by rule it should be دُوَيْدَةٌ: but this is a mistake [unless it be meant that دُوَيْدَةٌ is the regular dim. of دُودَةٌ]: it is regularly دُوَيْدٌ, like as تُمَيْرٌ and قُيَيْحٌ are regular dims. of تَمْرٌ and قَمْحٌ, which are pls. [or rather coll. gen. ns.] of تَمْرَةٌ and قَمْحَةٌ. (IB.) دُودَةٌ [n. un. of دُودٌ, q. v. b2: Also] The fœtus in the belly of a mare from the fortieth day, when its make becomes apparent, until the end of the third month. (Kr, TA voce دُعْمُوصٌ, q. v.) دَوْدَاةٌ A seesaw; syn. أُرْجُوحَةٌ: (K in this art., and T and S in art. دو:) and the mark made by children upon the dust, or earth, like a path, or track, when they play [upon the seesaw], doing thus with their feet, moving forwards and backwards: (S in art. دو:) or the mark of the ارجوحة: (M and K in that art.:) or the sound of the ارجوحة: (TA in the present art.:) and cries, shouts, noises, or clamour; or a confusion, or mixture, of cries, shouts, &c.: (K in this art.:) دَوْدَاةٌ is [said by ISd to belong to art. دو, and to be] originally دَوْدَوَةٌ: (M in art. دو:) the pl. is دَوَادٍ, (T and S * and M in that art.,) explained by As as signifying the marks of the أَرَاجِيح [or seesaws] of children; (TA in the present art.;) and دَوَادِىَ occurs in a verse, in the gen. case, (S and M in art. دو,) by poetic license. (M in that art.) حَيَوَانٌ دُودِىٌّ [app. A worm-like animal]. (TA in art. ذرح.) دُوَيْدٌ: see دُودٌ.

دَائِدٌ and ↓ مُدِيدٌ and ↓ مُدَوِّدٌ (Msb) and ↓ مَدُودٌ (L) [the last from دِيدَ, confirming my opinion that دَيَّدَ in some copies of the K is a mistranscription,] Corn, or food, (طَعَامٌ,) having in it دُود [or worms, &c.]; (L, Msb;) and becoming eaten thereby. (L.) مَدُودٌ: see what next precedes.

مُدِيدٌ: see what next precedes.

صف

1 صَفَّ, (S, M, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (Msb, TA,) inf. n. صَفٌّ, (O, Msb, K, TA,) He set, or placed, or stationed, (S, M, Mgh, O, K,) a company of men, (S, M, Mgh, O, Msb, K,) in war (S, O, K) &c., (O, K,) and a military force, (TA,) and also [in a similar sense] a thing, (Msb,) in a rank, or row, or line: (S, M, Mgh, O, K:) and likewise ↓ صفّف, (TA,) inf. n. تَصْفِيفٌ; (IDrd, O, K, TA;) but this has an intensive signification. (IDrd, O, TA.) b2: One says also of a she-camel, تَصُفُّ يَدَيْهَا عِنْدَ الحَلَبِ [She sets her fore legs evenly, side by side, not putting one of them in advance of the other, as if about to go onward, on the occasion of being milked]. (S, M, O, K.) [See also صَفَنَ, said of a man: and see صَانَ in art. صون.]) And [in like manner] one says, صَفَّتِ الإِبِلُ قَوَائِمَهَا [The camels set their legs in an even row]. (S, O.) b3: And of a she-camel one says also, تَصُفُّ أَقْدَاحًا مِنْ لَبَنِهَا إِذَا حُلِبَتْ [as though meaning She yields a row of bowls of her milk when she is milked], because of the abundance of her milk. (S, O, K *.) And تَصُفُّ بَيْنَ مِحْلَبَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٍ, (S, O,) or simply تَصُفُّ, (M,) She combines two milking-vessels, or three, at one milking; (S, * M, O; *) الصَّفُّ meaning her being milked into two milking-vessels, or three, (S, O, K,) so as to combine them. (S, O. [In the CK, أَنْ تَحْلُبَ is a mistake for أَنْ تُحْلَبَ.]) And a rájiz, cited by Az, says, referring to a she-camel, تَصُفُّ فِى ثَلَاثَةِ المَحَالِبِ [She is milked into three milking-vessels at one milking]. (S, O.) One says also صَفَّهَا, i. e. حَلَبَهَا صَفًّا [app. meaning He milked her into two bowls, or three, at one milking; or into two bowls; the pronoun referring to a she-camel]. (M. [One or the other of these two meanings appears to be indicated by what there precedes this.]) b4: صُفَّ عَلَى الجَمْرِ لِيَنْشَوِىَ (S, K) is said of flesh-meat (S) [app. meaning It was laid, cut into a strip, or into strips, upon the live coals to broil]; and فِى الشَّمْسِ لِيَجِفَّ [in like manner, in the sun to dry]: (K:) for one says of him who has prepared flesh-meat cut into strips, or oblong pieces, and dried in the sun, صَفَّ اللَّحْمَ; and [in like manner] one says also, صَفَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ لِيَنْشَوِىَ: (Msb:) or صَفَّ اللَّحْمَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. صَفُّ, means he cut the flesh-meat into broad slices: (M:) and accord. to ISh, ↓ التَّصْفِيفُ is like التَّشْرِيحُ, i. e. the cutting a piece of flesh-meat thin, so that it is translucent: (TA in the present art:) or التصفيف is a kind of تَشْرِيح; i. e. the cutting a piece of flesh-meat thin, so that it is translucent by reason of its thinness, and then throwing it upon the live coals. (TA in art. شرح.) [See صَفِيفٌ.]

A2: See also 8, in three places. b2: صَفَّ said of a bird, (M, O, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (M, Msb,) inf. n. صَفٌّ, (Msb, K,) It extended its wings in a line, (M,) or it expanded its wings, (O, Msb, K,) in the sky, and did not move them, (M,) or and struck [an evident mistake for and did not strike] with them its sides like the pigeon: (Msb:) such as do so are not to be eaten; (Msb, K;) as the vulture and the hawk: (Msb:) it is said in a trad., يُؤْكَلُ مَا دَفَّ وَلَا يُؤْكَلُ مَا صَفَّ. (O, K, TA. See art. دف.) A3: صَفَفْتُ لِلسَّرْجِ, (S,) or صَفَفْتُ لِلسَّرْجِ صُفَّةً, (O,) or صَفَفْتُ السَّرْجَ, (K, and so in one place in the O,) and ↓ أَصْفَفْتُهُ, (O, K,) but this latter verb is of weak authority, (O,) (tropical:) I put to the horse's saddle a صُفَّة [q. v.]: S, O, K, TA:) [and] صَفَّ الدَّابَّةَ, and صَفَّ لَهَا, He made for the beast a صُفَّة. (M.) 2 صَفَّّ see above, first sentence: b2: and also in the latter half of the paragraph.3 صَافُّوهُمْ (S, MA, O,K) فِى القِتَالِ (S, O, K) They fought them in rank; they drew themselves out in a rank against them [in fight]. (MA.) A2: [And app. one says also صَافَّهُ meaning He had the صُفَّة of his house over against, or facing, his (another's) صُفَّة. See هُوَ مُصَافِّى, below.]4 أَصْفَ3َ see 1, last sentence.6 تَصَاْفَّ see 8. b2: One says also تصافّوا عَلَيْهِ They collected themselves together in a rank, or row, or line, against him. (M, TA.) And تصافّوا عَلَى المَآءِ They collected themselves together at the water; as also تضافّوا عَلَيْهِ: like as one says تصوّك فِى

خُرْئِهِ and تضوّك, and صَلَاصِلُ المَآءِ and ضَلَاضِلُهُ. (Lh, TA.) 8 اصطفّوا They stood in, (S, Mgh, O, K,) or became, (M,) [or set, placed, or stationed, themselves in,] a rank, or row, or line; (S, M, Mgh, Msb; *) or ranks, or rows, or lines; (O, K;) as also ↓ تصافّوا; (M, O, * K; * [التَّصَافُّ being expl. in the O and K by التَّسَاطُرُ; in the CK, erroneously, التَّشاطُرُ;]) and so ↓ صَفُّوا, (M, Mgh, Msb,) aor. ـُ (M, Mgh,) inf. n. صَفٌّ and صَفَّى, but [ISd says] this latter inf. n. I have not heard except in a phrase mentioned in what follows. (M.) Hence the saying,تَصُفُّ ↓ النِّسَآءُ خَلْفَ الرِّجَالِ وَلَا تَصُفُّ مَعَهُمْ [The women shall stand in a rank behind the men in the mosque, and shall not stand in a rank with them]. (Mgh.) And hence the saying of a woman of the desert to her sons, ↓ إِذَا لَقِيتُمُ العَدُوَّ فَدَغَرَى وَلَا صَفَّى i. e. [When ye meet the enemy, rush upon them without consideration, and] do not set yourselves in a rank. (M. [See also 1, in art. دغر.]) R. Q. 1 صَفْصَفَ He journeyed, (سَارَ, O, and so in copies of the K,) or became, (صَارَ, so in the CK,) alone in a صَفْصَف, or level tract of land. (O, K.) A2: And He pastured upon the trees called صَفْصَاف. (O, K.) A3: And صَفْصَفَةٌ [as an inf. n., or as a simple subst.,] signifies The crying or cry, (صَوْت,) of the sparrow, which is called صُفْصُف (O, K) in some one or more of the dialects. (O.) صَفٌّ A rank, row, or line [of things]; (KL, PS;) or an even صَدْر [i. e. front, or fore part,] of any things: (M:) and a company of men standing in a rank, or row, or line: (O, K:) pl. صُفُوفٌ; (S, M, O, Msb, K;) and the sing. may also be used in the sense of the pl.; it may be used either thus in the sense of the pl. or as a sing. in the Kur xviii. 46. (O.) Hence, in a trad., سَوُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ [Make even your ranks] in prayer. (O, TA.) b2: Also A station of صُفُوف [or ranks of men]. (M. [See also مَصَفٌّ.]) and hence, (M,) as used in the Kur xx. 67, i. q. مُصَلًّى

A place of prayer, or a place of prayer on the occasion of the عِيد, or festival]; (Az, M, O;) because the people stand there in ranks: (M:) i. e. a place where people assemble for their عِيد: (Az, O:) or, in that instance, صَفًّا may mean مُصْطَفِّينَ [i. e. standing in ranks], (Az, M, O,) as a denotative of state. (M.) b3: And A pair of bowls (قَدَحَانِ) [app., as seems to be indicated, that are filled at one milking of a camel]; because they are put together. (M.) A2: Also A certain medicament with which the teeth are whitened.

(TA voce أَوْفَاضٌ.) [ISd says,] عَذَابُ يَوْمِ الصُّفَّةِ [The punishment of the day of the صُفَّة] is the same as عَذَابُ يَوْمِ الظُّلَّةِ [mentioned in the Kur 26:189]: (M, TA:) Lth says that the former was a day on which a certain people disobeyed their apostle, wherefore God sent upon them heat and clouds which overspread them, so that they perished: and Az says that it is not the same as that mentioned in the Kur, and that he knew not what is meant by عذاب يوم الصفّة: (O, (TA:) it seems, however, that both mean the same, as الصُّفَّةُ and الظُّلَّةُ are one in meaning. (TA.) b2: Also (tropical:) An appertenance of the سَرْج [or horse's saddle]; (S, M, IAth, Mgh, O, K, TA;) like the مِيثَرَة [q. v. in art. وثر] of the رَحْل [or camel's saddle]; (IAth, L, TA; *) the thing with which it is covered, between the قَرَبُوسَانِ, which are its fore part and its hinder part: (Mgh:) or, (M, TA,) as also of the رَحْل, (M,) the thing that comprises within it (تَضُمُّ) the [two pieces of wood called the] عَرْقُوَتَانِ and the [two pads, or stuffed things, called the] بِدَادَانِ, above them and beneath them: (M, TA:) pl. صُفَفٌ (S, M, O, K) and صِفَافٌ, the latter mentioned by Sb.
