إِيدَامَةٌ

Root: ادم

Full Definition

إِيدَامَةٌ Level, hard, but not rugged, ground: or hard ground without stones; from أَدِيمٌ signifying the “surface” of the earth or ground: or ground somewhat elevated; not much so; only found in plains, and producing vegetation, which, however, is disapproved, because its situation is rugged, and little water remains in it: pl. أَيَادِيمُ, which J erroneously says has no sing.: for he says, [in the S,] أَيَادِيمُ signifies hard and elevated tracts (مُتُون) of ground; and has no sing.
