دد
دَدٌ, (S, A, K, [but in some copies of the S and K written دَدّ, and said in the TA, in art ددن, to be so written by some, though it is there implied that this is of doubtful authority,]) without tesh-deed, (A, TA,) like يَدٌ, (MF,) Diversion, sport, play, or such as is vain, or frivolous; (S, A, K;) as also دَدًا, like قَفًا; and دَدنٌ, (S, K,) and ↓ دَدَدٌ: (Ed-Demámeenee, CK:) but accord. to IB, it should be mentioned in art. ددن [in which دَدَنٌ is mentioned again in the S and K], or art. ددو [in which دَدًا is mentioned again together with دَدٌ and دَدَنٌ]. (L.) [The proper place of دَدٌ seems to be art. ددو (like as art. اخو is the proper place in which أَخٌ should be mentioned), as well as of دَدًا; and the proper place of دَدَنٌ, art. ددن.] Hence, (A,) مَا أَنَا مِنْ دَدٍ وَلَا الدَّدُ مِنِّى [I have no concern with diversion, &c., nor has diversion, &c., any concern with me]: a saying [of Mohammad] occurring in a trad. (S, A.) A2: Also A space (حِينٌ) of time. (K.) دَدَدٌ: see above.
دَدِدٌ [meaning Diverting himself, sporting, playing, or doing so in a vain, or frivolous, manner,] occurs [accord. to one reading] in a verse of Et-Tirimmáh [cited in this art. in the K, and in the present work in art. طرب, as an ex. of اِسْتَطْرَبَ]: the poet has annexed to it a third د because an epithet is not susceptible of variation unless comprising three letters: (K:) or such is the opinion of F; but this requires consideration. (MF.)
