ثُنْدُؤَةٌ
and ثَنْدُؤَةٌ, or ثَنْدُوَةٌ, or ثُنْدُوَةٌ, of the measure فُنْعُلَةٌ, with damm to the ف and ع, or, accord. to some, the ن is radical and the و augmentative, the measure being فُعْلُوَةٌ, (Msb in art. ثدى,) or ثُنْدُؤَةٌ and ثَنْدُوَةٌ, with damm to the ث if with ء, and of the measure فُعْلُلَةٌ, and with fet-h to the ث if with و, without ء, and in this case of the measure فَعْلُوَةٌ, like قَرْنُوَةٌ and عَرْقُوَةٌ, [the ن in both cases, accord. to ISk, being radical,] so in the Bári', and so says Ktr, but A'Obeyd says that the Arabs in general pronounced the word without ء, The ثَدْى [which generally signifies the breast, or mamma, but sometimes the pap, or mamilla,] of a man: or the part, of a man, that corresponds to the
ثَدْى
of a woman: or the flesh of the
ثَدْى: or the flesh that is around the
ثَدْى: or the base of the
ثَدْى: or the portion of flesh that is at the base thereof: or i. q.
ثَدْىٌ: and the pap, or mamilla, of a woman and of a man: accord. to the author of the Wá'ee, the pl. [of تندؤة] is ثَنَادِهُ, [with ه substituted for ء, unless the former be a mistranscription for the latter,] and [that of ثندوة is] ثَنَادٍ. The word ثدى is used in relation to men in the Saheeh of Muslim, and ثندؤة in relation to women in the Sunan of Aboo-Dáwood; and many of the lexicologists incline to the opinion that ثدى is common to men and women. (MF in art. ثند.)
