خَضْخَضَةٌ

R. Q. 1 Verbal.Noun خَضْخَضَةٌ, He agitated it; moved it about; stirred it; shook it; namely, water, and the like, and سَوِيق, and the like. You say also, خَضْخَضْتُ دَلْوِى فِى المَآءِ [I agitated, or dashed about, my bucket in the water]. Sakhr-el-Gheí El-Hudhalee says, describing a water to which he had come for drink, فَخَضْخَضْتُ ضُفْنِىَ فِى جَمِّهِ خِيَاضَ المُدَابِرِ قِدْحًا عَطُوفَا i. e. [And I dashed about my leathern bucket in the main body thereof,] as he who is overcome in the game of el-meysir introduces among the other arrows a borrowed arrow [that comes forth winning], in the luck of which he has confidence. (TA in art. خوض.) This verb, though mentioned here, is [said to be] from خَاضَ, Present.T يَخُوضُ; not from خَضَّ; therefore the poet here uses خَيِاض for its Verbal.Noun You also say, جَآءَهُ بِالخَنْجَرِ فَخَضْخَضَ بِهِ بَطْنَهُ [He came to him with the dagger, and stirred about with it his belly].
2 [Hence a meaning of the Verbal.Noun explained in the first paragraph of art. جلد.]
