inf. n. سَدْنٌ and سِدَانَةٌ, [or the latter,
accord. to the

L)] الحِجَابَةُ [which seems to be properly a
subst., meaning The office of door-keeper, or chamberlain, but here seems, from the context, to be used as an
inf. n., meaning the performing that office]: you say, سَدَنَهُ,
aor. as above, [

L:) or سَدَنَهُ,
inf. n. سِدَانَةٌ, signifies he served it, or him. (

L.)
