دَكٌّ
Root: دك
Full Definition
دَكٌّ
An even, or a level, place; [and so
أَدَكُّ , as is shown by an explanation of its fem. in this paragraph:] or land, or ground, broken, and made even: you say أَرْضٌ دَكٌّ: pl. دُكُوكٌ. Hence, in the Kur [vii. 139 and xviii. 98], جَعَلَهُ دَكًّا, i. e. [He made it, in the former instance, and shall make it, in the latter instance,] even, or level, without any hill: or crumbled: or, accord. to Akh, دَكًّا may be here an Verbal.Noun; as though the meaning were
دَكَّهُ : [see 1:] or it may be elliptical, meaning جَعَلَهُ ذَا دَكٍّ: another reading is
جَعَلَهُ , meaning in the former instance a hill rising from the ground like the
دَكَّةَ: or meaning جَعَلَهُ أَرْضًا دَكَّآءَ, i. e. He made it even, or level, ground; because the word جَبَل [to which دكّآء virtually relates] is masc.
2 Also, [as a subst.,] Even, or level, sand; and so دَكَّةٌ : pl. [of either, agreeably with analogy,] دِكَاكٌ.
3 And A [mound, or hill, of dust or earth, such as is called] تَلّ: or the like of a تَلّ: in some of the copies of the K, التكّ is erroneously put for التّل.
