Full Definition

دَرْدَرَ
R. Q. 1 (Verbal.Noun دَرْدَرَةٌ, TK,) He chewed, or mumbled, an unripe date with his toothless gums. Hence the saying of a certain Arab, to whom El-Asma'ee had come, أَتَيْتَنِى وَ أَنَا أُدَرْدِرُ [Thou camest to me when I was a child mumbling with toothless gums: or it may mean thou hast come to me when I am old, mumbling &c.: see دُرْدُرٌ].
2 Also He lost his teeth, and their sockets became apparent.
