مِيحَادٌ

Root: وحد

Full Definition

مِيحَادٌ One of several hills, such as are called أَكَمَات, separate or remote, one from another: pl. مَوَاحِيدُ. F remarks, that J is in error in saying, المِيحَادُ مِنَ الوَاحِدِ كَالمِعْشَارِ مِنَ العَشَرَةِ: but the meaning of this is, that it denotes one part or portion; like as مِعْشَارٌ signifies one of ten: [i. e., the former signifies one of several things whereof each is alone, or by itself:] and the same explanation is given by [several] old authors. [In one copy of the S, instead of العَشَرَة, I find العُشْر; which affords a good sense, i. e., that ميحاد, is syn. with وَاحِدٌ; and may be the true reading.]
