اشتق من الدَّجْن. والدجن: ظُلمة الغيم، وإطباقه السماء. وإلباسه برَمْلٍ ونَدًى. وبعض العرب يقول للدَّجْن: الدُّجْيَة [والدُّجَى: جمع الدُّجْيَة]، وهو ما ألبسك من ظُلمة أَو غَيْرِها.
Volunteers needed (having reasonably advanced knowledge of Arabic, and relatively good English): There are 20-40 dictionaries that can be added to The Arabic Lexicon once the digital versions are reviewed and any necessary corrections carried out (sometimes this can be done in a few hours). If you're interested, please email me at this address: contact@hawramani.com.
- My new book Learning Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) for Complete Beginners is now available on Amazon.com in paperback and Kindle formats. It uses the same innovative learning method as my highly related Learning Quranic Arabic for Complete Beginners.
