رَادِنِىٌّ A camel, or a thing, of which the redness is mixed with yellowness, like وَرْس [q. v.]: hence the epithet رَادِنِىٌّ is applied to a he-camel, and with ة to a she-camel: or رَادِنِىٌّ is applied to a he-camel as meaning having crisp, or curly, fur, of generous race, beautiful, and inclining a little to blackness: or intensely red; or it has this meaning also: or between yellow and red: accord. to some, from رَادِنٌ signifying “ saffron; ” but As says, I know not in relation to what thing the camel is called by this epithet. They said also أَرْمَكُ رَادِنِىٌّ [i. e. Intensely dun or brown or dusky &c.]; to denote intensiveness; like as they said أَبْيَضُ نَاصِعٌ.
