بَيْدَانَةٌ

Root: بيد

Full Definition

بَيْدَانَةٌ A she-ass; a subst. applied to that animal: or a wild she-ass: or one that inhabits a desert (بَيْدَآء); [an epithet;] not a subst. applied to the animal; J being in error in asserting it to be such: the [wild] she-ass is thus called, accord. to most of the lexicologists, because it inhabits the بيداء; and if so, the ن is an augmentative letter: or, accord. to some, because it is large in the body (البَدَن); and if so, the ن is a radical letter: the pl. is بَيْدَانَاتٌ.
