Full Definition
بَدِيتُI
i. q. [بَدَأْتُ and] اِبْتَدَأْتُ [I began with the thing; or made it to have precedence, or to be first]; of the dial. of the Ansár: the people of ElMedeeneh say, بَدَيْنَا, or بَدِينَا, [accord. to different copies of the S,] in the sense of بَدَأْنَا: [the right reading seems to be بَدَيْنَا; for] IKh says, none says بَدَيْتُ in the sense of بَدَأْتُ, except the Ansár: all others say, بَدِيتُ and بَدَأْتُ; when the hemzeh is suppressed, the د is pronounced with kesr, and therefore the hemzeh is changed into ى. [See a verse of Ibn-Rawáhah cited voce بَدْءٌ.]
