def.2 صَيِدَ, of the dial. of El- Hijáz, Present.T يَصْيَدُ, Verbal.Noun صَيَدٌ; and صَادَ, [Present.T يَصِيدُ;] He had the disease termed صَيَدٌ [expl. below]: the ى in صَيِدَ is preserved unchanged because it is so preserved in the original form, which is , though they may not have said اِصْيَدَّ; and the like is the case in عَوِرَ: the augmentative letters are rejected for the purpose of alleviation: hence, one does not say, in the case of verbs of this class, مَا أَفْعَلَهُ, [i. e. مَا أَصْيَدَهُ, and مَا أَعُوَرَهُ, and the like,] forming thus verbs of wonder, because the original form is augmented, and a verb of four letters cannot be formed from a verb of four letters, for a measure can only be formed from a measure that is less. Also, both verbs, He was unable to look aside, by reason of disease. And صَيِدَ, Verbal.Noun صَيَدٌ, He raised his head, by reason of pride: and he looked not aside, to the right or left. And صَيِدَ (K, TA, in the CK [erroneously] صَئِدَ,) He had an inclining, or a bending, neck.

def.3 And صِدْتُ فُلَانًا I made such a one to have an inclining, or a bending, neck.
