بِالدَّارِ

Root: دور

Full Definition

بِالدَّارِ , originally دَيْوَارٌ, of the measure فَيْعَالٌ, and دُورِىٌّ , and , in which a و is changed into ى, [ديّور being originally دَيْوُورٌ,] and دَارِىٌّ , There is not in the house any one: the broken pl. of دَيَّارٌ and دَيُّورٌ is دَوَاوِيرُ; the و being unchanged because of its distance from the end of the word. ISd says, in the عَوِيص, that Yaakoob has erred in asserting ديّار to be used only in negative phrases; for Dhu-r-Rummeh uses it in an affirmative phrase.
2 See also دَيْرَانِىٌّ.
