A solitary man, who has neither brother nor offspring: and قَاحِدٌ وَاحِدٌ signifies [the same, or the like; i. q.] صُنْبُورٌ: [see also صَاخِدٌ:] accord. to the K, قَاحِدٌ in this case is an imitative sequent to وَاحِدٌ, and so accord. to the M: and it is said in the T that AA mentions this phrase, as on the authority of Abu-l-'Abbás, with ف, saying وَاحِدٌ فَاحِدٌ; but that it is correctly as mentioned [and expl.] by Sh, on the authority of IAar; i. e. that one says
وَاحِدٌ قَاحِدٌ , and صَاخِدٌ.
