Full Definition
دُجُنَّةٌ
and
دِجِنَّةٌ and
دُجُنٌّ Clouds covering the whole sky, full of moisture, and dark, but containing no rain; pl.
دُجُنٌّ [or this is a coll. gen. n. of which دُجُنَّةٌ is the n. un., though said to be syn. with this last, as well as a pl.]: and darkness; syn. ظُلْمَةٌ: or the first of these words (دُجُنَّةٌ) has this last signification; i. e. ظُلْمَةٌ, or ظَلْمَآءُ; [thus in some copies of the K and in the TA; but in other copies of the K ظَلْمَآءُ only;] and is also without teshdeed; i. e., it is also written
دُجْنَةٌ , as in the “ Book ” of Sb: this is explained by Seer [and in the S] as syn. with ظُلْمَةٌ; and, accord. to Sb, its pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] is
دُجْنٌ ; but in the S it is said that its pl. is دُجَنٌ, i. e. like صُرَدٌ, and دُجُنَاتٌ and دُجَنَاتٌ: (TA: [but in one copy of the S, I find دُجْنٌ and دُجْنَاتٌ; and in another, دُجَنٌ and دُجُنَاتٌ:]) and
دُجُنٌّ is syn. with
دَجْنٌ [q. v.]: (K, TA: [in the CK, الدُّجُنُ is erroneously put for الدُّجُنُّ; and الدَّجْنُ, which should immediately follow it, is omitted:]) the pl. of دُجُنَّةٌ is دُجُنَّاتٌ.
2 دُجُنَّةٌ also signifies The clouds' covering the earth, and being heaped; one upon another, and thick.
3 See also دَجْنٌ, in two places: and see دُجْنَةٌ.
