ادو

اـِدَاوَةٌ أداوه اداوه اداوة داوى i. q. مِطهَرَةٌ; (S, M, Mgh, Msb, K;) i. e. A small vessel [or bag ] of skin, made for water, like the سَطِيحَة: (TA:) or, as some say, only of two skins put face to face: (M, TA:) pl. أَدَاوَى; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) originally, by rule, أَدَائِىُ; which is changed, as in the cases of مَطَايَا and خَطَايَا, from the measure فَعَائِلُ to the measure فَعَالَى, so that the و in أَدَاوَى is a substitute for the augmentative ا in the sing., and the final alif [written ى] in أَدَاوَى is a substitute for the و in the sing. (S.) ― -b2- See also أَدَاةٌ.
