Full Definition
قَرْدَدٌ
(in which the second د is not incorporated into the first because the word is quasi-coordinate to the class of those of the measure فَعْلَلٌ, S, L,) Elevated ground; as also
قُرْدُودَةٌ : or elevated and rugged ground; as also
قُرْدُودٌ : or a rugged and elevated place; as also
قُرْدُودٌ : or a tract similar to what is termed
قُفّ: or a prominent portion of ground by the side of a depressed place, or hollow: also, even, or plain, ground: pl. قَرَادِدُ and قَرَادِيدُ; the latter form being adopted from a dislike to [the concurrence of] the two dáls: Sb says, that قَرَادِيدُ is a pl. of قَرْدَدٌ; but as one also says قُرْدُودٌ, there is no reason for this assertion: ISh says, that
قُرْدُودَةٌ signifies elevated and rugged ground producing little herbage, and all of it gibbous: and Sh, that it signifies an extended strip [of ground], like the قردودة of the back.
