2 بِوُدِّى أَنْ يَكُونَ كَذَا I wish that such a thing may be. In the following saying of the poet, أَيُّهَا العَائِدُ المُسَائِلُ عَنَّا وَبِوُدِّيكَ لَوْ ثَرَى أَكْفَانِى [O thou visitor of the sick, inquiring respecting us, wishing that thou mayest see my graveclothes], the kesreh of the د is lengthened for sake of the measure.
