رع

1 رَعٌّ The being still, syn. سُكُونٌ, [a signification contr. to one borne by two other words in this art.,] (IAar, K,) is the inf. n. of رَعَّتِ الرِّيحُ, aor. ـُ [probably a mistake for رَعِّ, which is the regular form of an intrans. verb of this class, notwithstanding the guttural letter,] The wind was, or became, still.

In IN the L we find إِذَا لَمْ تَكُنْ رَيِّضًا, [meaning when it was not trained, رَيِّضًا being here used in the sense of مَرُوضَةً,] in the place of إِذَا كَانَتْ رَيِّضًا, which is the reading in the O and TS and K.
