2 اِطَّرَدَ المَآءُ The water flowed in a regular, or a continuous, or an uninterrupted, course, one portion following another: and اطّردت الأَنْهَارُ The rivers so flowed: or [simply] the rivers ran, or flowed. And اِضْطَرَدَ الخَيْلُ The horses ran, following one another: occurring in a trad.: the verb is originally اِطْتَرَدَ; the augmentative ت being changed into ط, and then the radical ط is changed into ض: and for اِضْطِرَادٌ, some say اِلْطِرَادٌ, changing the ض into ل [as in اِلْطَجَعَ for اِضْطَجَعَ]. (Az, TA in art. ضجع.) And اطّردوا إِلَى المَسِيرِ They followed one another to go on a journey. And اطّرد الشَّىْءُ, or الأَمْرُ, The thing, or the affair, followed a regular and con. tinuous course, one part, or stage, following another uninterruptedly: and اطّرد الأَمْرُ signifies also the affair followed a right, a direct, or an even, course. And اطّرد الكَلَامُ The language, or speech, was consecutive, or uninterrupted, in its parts. And اطّردت قِرَآءَتُهُ His recitation, or reading, continued uninterruptedly: from يَوْمٌ طَرَّادٌ meaning “ a long day. ” And اطّرد الحَدُّ The definition was of uniform, undeviating, or general, application; it uniformly, or commonly, or constantly, applied, or obtained; i. e. all the things to which it related followed one uniform, or undeviating, way, like the course of rivers. اطّرد said of a word, form or measure, construction, or government, means It was agreeable with the common, or constant, course of speech in respect of analogy, or rule; it was agreeable with common, or constant, analogy, or rule: and, said of the same, or of a rule, it was agreeable with the common, or constant, course of speech in respect of usage; it was agreeable with common, or constant, usage; it commonly, or constantly, obtained: [the verb is used absolutely to express each of these two meanings; the context in general showing clearly which meaning is intended:] the former meaning is also expressed by the phrase اطّرد فِى القِيَاسِ; and the latter, by the phrase اطّرد فِى الاِسْتِعْمَالِ.
