عُدًى : [i. e.] the broad stones with which the [oblong excavation called] لَحْد
is covered over: or a thin stone with which a thing is concealed, or covered over; as also
عِدَآءٌ ; the latter written in [a copy of] the M
, like سَحَابٌ; but [the former explanation seems to be the more correct, for] it is added in the K that one thereof is termed
عِدْوٌ ; and accord. to this, the word expl. above [or each of the two words expl. above] is a pl. (TA. [See also عِدْوَةٌ.])
2 And Any piece of wood that is put between two [other] pieces of wood.
def.2 See also عُدْوَةٌ, in two places: and عَادٍ, last sentence:
2 and عُدَوَآءُ:
3 and عَدَآءٌ.
def.3 [It is also a pl. of عَدُوٌّ, which see in two places.
def.4 ] And عِدَى is used as a prefixed n. for عِدَة as syn. with وَعْد. (Fr; S and L in art. وعد, q. v.)
