نَجِيعِهِ [app. meaning He wallowed in his effused blood] is with teshdeed to render the signification intensive.

(S, A. *) اخاض القَوْمُ خَيْلَهُمُ المَآءَ [The people, or company of men, made their horses to wade, or ford, through the water] is said when they wade, or ford, with their horses through the water. (TA.) اخاض القَوْمُ: and اخاضوا المَآءَ: [which are evidently elliptical phrases:] and اخاض الفَرَسَ: see 1, second sentence. b2: اخاض البَاطِلَ: see 1.

A2: اخاض المَآءُ The water admitted of being walked [or waded or forded] in or through: contr. to general rule; being intrans. while the unaugmented verb is trans. (Msb.) 5 تَخَوَّضَ see 1, first sentence. b2: تخوّض also signifies He constrained himself to wade, or ford, in, or through, water. (K, * TA.)

(TA.) 6 تَخَاْوَضَ see 1, near the middle of the paragraph.8 إِخْتَوَضَ see 1, first sentence.
