Full Definition
التَّدَافِىVI
i. q.
التَّدَارُكُ [app. in relation to a camel's pace, or manner of going, as meaning The continuing uninterruptedly]: and التَّدَاوُلُ [denoting alternation of any kind]: [accord. to the TA, this means, here, what next follows; and the same seems to be indicated in the S:] and a camel's going along with an inclining from side to side (أَنْ يَسِيرَ سَيْرًا مُتَجَافِيًا): you say, تَدَافَى البَعِيرُ, meaning سَارَ سَيْرًا
مُتَجَافِيًا [The camel went along with an inclining from side to side]. [See also the second of the verses cited in the first paragraph of art. دف: from the explanation of which by ISd, it appears that تَدَافَى is perhaps originally تَدَافَّ.]
