Full Definition
بَضَعَةٌ
The sound of cutting of swords: occurring in the saying, سَمِعْتُ لِلسِّيَاطِ خَضَعَةً وَلِلسُّيُوفِ بَضَعَةً
I heard a sound of falling of the whips, and a sound of cutting of the swords: but in the S and A in art. خضع, and by IB, خضعة and بضعة are written خَضْعَةٌ and
بَضْعَةٌ ; and IB explains the former as signifying the sounds of swords; and the latter, the sounds of whips. (TA in art. خضع.) [See also بَاضِعٌ.]
