2 Tall: long: fem. with ة: and pl. مُدُدٌ, which preserves its original form [instead of becoming مُدٌّ] because it does not resemble a verb.

4 قَدٌّ مَدِيدٌ A tall stature.
5 فِى عَمَدٍ , in the Kur, [civ., last verse,] is explained by Th as signifying Upon tall pillars.
6 أَقَمْتُ مُدَّةً مَدِيدَةً I remained, stayed, abode, or dwelt, a long space of time.
7 المَدِيدُ The second metre (بَحْر) in prosody: so called because of the extension of its أَسْبَاب and أَوْتَاد.
8 مَدِيدٌ Water upon which is sprinkled, or with which is mixed, some flour or the like, or meal of parched barley or wheat, or barley coarsely ground, or sesame, or seeds, and which is given to a camel to drink: or barley coarsely ground, and then moistened, and put into the mouth of a camel: or i. q. خَبَطٌ: and, or as some say, fodder.
