A,
Msb,) or أَسِدَّةٌ, [also a
pl. of pauc.,] and سُدُودٌ, [a
pl. of mult.,] the latter of these two agreeable with general
analogy, and the former of them
anomalous, or, [
ISd says,] in my opinion, this (أَسِدَّةٌ) is
pl. of سِدَادٌ. (

b5: And سَدٌّ, (
M,) or سُدٌّ, (
O,
K,) is also
syn. with ظِلٌّ [as meaning (
tropical:) Shade, or shadow; or cover, or protection]. (
IAar,
M,
O,
K,

IAar says,
قَعَدْتُ لَهُ فِى سَدِّ نِقْضٍ مُعَوَّدٍ
لِذٰلِكَ فِى صَحْرَآءَ جِذْمٍ دَرِينُهَا
(
tropical:) [I sat for him, i. e. lay in wait for him, in the shade, or cover, of a camel rendered lean by travel, accustomed to that, in a desert whereof the dry herbage was old]: i. e. I made him a cover, or screen, to me, in order that he might not see me: and by جِذْم he means “ old,” because الجِذْمُ signifies الأَصْلُ, and there is nothing older than the أَصْل; and he uses it as an
epithet because it implies the meaning of an
epithet. (
M.)
A2: سَدٌّ also signifies A thing, (

M,
TA,) made of twigs, (

S,

pl. of ↓ سَدُودٌ signifying that which obstructs the horizon and therefore an
epithet. (
M.)

TA:) or,
accord. to Aboo-Sa'eed, (
TA,) in the language of the Arabs [of the desert] it signifies [a space such as is termed] a فِنَآء pertaining to a tent of hair-cloth and the like; and those who make it to be like a صُفَّة, or like a سَقِيفَة, explain the word
accord. to the way in which it is used by the people of the towns and villages: (
Msb,
TA:) or it signifies the door [itself]: (
S,
A,
Mgh,
K:) or it has this meaning also: (
Msb:) some thus apply it to the door itself: (
A'Obeyd,
L:) and the surrounding portico [of the interior court] of the largest, or larger, mosque: (
M,
TA:)

ISk,
S,
