[See also 3. Accord. to Golius, it means also I overtook him, and joined myself to him by his side: but for this explanation he names no authority.]

def.2 صَدَغَهُ عَنِ الأَمْرِ He turned him away, or back, from the affair. (K. [And so, accord. to Freytag, as from the S, on the authority of As, اصدغه: but he has app. taken this from a mistranscription in a copy of the S.]) One says, مَا صَدَغَكَ عَنْ هٰذَا الأَمْرِ What turned thee away, or back, from this affair? and صَدَعَكَ also: (S and O in art. صدع:) but the former is the better. And اِتَّبَعَ فُلَانٌ بَعِيرَهُ فَمَا صَدَغَهُ i. e. [Such a one followed his camel, and] he did not turn him aside: this is said when he has taken fright, or become refractory, and run away. And Selemeh is related to have said, اِشْتَرَيْتُ سِنَّوْرًا فَلَمْ يَصْدَغْهُنَّ [I bought a cat, and he did not drive them away]; meaning the rats, or mice.
