جَدَفٌ A grave; a sepulchre; (

Msb,
K;) like جَدَثٌ; for the Arabs made ف and ث interchangeable: (

S:) the former is of the

dial. of Tihámeh: (
Msb in art. جدث:) [
accord. to some,] the former is formed from the latter by substitution [of ف for ث]: (
S:)
IJ argues that this is the case because the former has not أَجْدَافٌ for
pl.: (
TA:) but it has this
pl., (
Fr,
S,
R,
TA,) used by Ru-beh. (

TA.)
