Full Definition
غُدَّةٌ
and
غُدَدَةٌ [A ganglion; i. e.] any hard lump in the tendinous parts; [a lump of] flesh arising from disease, between the skin and the flesh, which may be made to move about: and any small nodous lump (عُقْدَة) in the body of a man, surrounded by fat: pl. غُدَدٌ [properly pl. of غُدَّةٌ, and also a coll. gen. n. of which غُدَدَةٌ is the n. un.]: غُدَّةٌ [is applied in the present day to a ganglion: and a bubo: and a wen: and all these may be meant by its being said that it] also signifies a [swelling such as is termed] سِلْعَة, overspread by fat.
2 And غُدَّةٌ signifies likewise The plague, or pestilence, (طَاعُون,) in camels; as also غَدَدٌ : or the same in camels as the طاعون in man: it attacks them in the groins, and seldom do they recover from it: or it is only in the belly; and when it extends to the camel's نَحْر [or part where he is stabbed, or stuck, when he is slaughtered], and to his groin, or arm-pit, the epithet دَابِرٌ [so in the TA, but in the O دَارِئٌ, which I believe to be the right reading,] is applied to him: so says IAar: or it is also in the fat parts; and between the flesh and the skin.
3 And What is between the fat and the hump [of the camel].
def.2 Another signification of غُدَّةٌ is A part, or portion, of property; as in the saying, عَلَيْهِ غُدَّةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ [He owes a part, or portion, of some property]: pl. غَدَائِدُ, and, in some of the copies of the K, غِدَادٌ. And [these two pls.] غَدَائِدُ and غِدَادٌ signify also Lots, portions, or shares: thus, accord. to Fr, the former of them means in a verse of Lebeed cited and expl. voce عَدِيدَةٌ; but the reading better known is عَدَائِدُ: accord. to Az, غَدَائِدُ in this instance signifies redundances.
