Full Definition

سَدِيسٌ : see سُدُسٌ:
2 and see سُدَاسِىٌّ.

def.2 Also The tooth that is before that called the بَازِل; after that called the رَبَاعِيَة; as also ; masc. and fem., because the fem. names of teeth are all with ة, except سَدَسٌ and سَدِيسٌ and بَازِلٌ: the pl. is سُدُسٌ and سُدْسٌ. You say, of a camel, أَلْقَى سَدِيسَهُ and [He cast his tooth called the سديس and سدس].
2 And hence, A camel, and a sheep or goat, casting his سَدِيس, or his tooth that is after the رَبَاعِيَة; i. e., in the eighth year; as also سَدَسٌ : masc. and fem.: or a sheep or goat six years old: pl. سُدُسٌ. A poet, namely, Mansoor Ibn-Misjáh, speaking of a fine for homicide, taken from among selected camels, says, فَطَافَ كَمَا طَافَ المُصَدِّقُ وَسْطَهَا يُخِيِّرُ مِنْهَا فِى البَوَازِلِ وَالسُّدْسِ [And he went round about, as the collector of the poor-rate went round about, amid them, preferring certain of them, among the nine-year-old and the eight-year-old camels].

def.3 Also A sort of measure, or a sort of مَكُّوك, [in some copies of the K ضَرْبٌ مِنَ المَكَايِيلِ, and in others and in the O ضرب من المَكَاكِيكِ,] with which dates are measured.

def.4 سَدِيسَ in the saying لَا آتِيكَ سَدِيسَ عُجَيْسٍ is a dial. var. of سَجِيسَ, q. v.
