عِدًى ذ The stones of a grave; as also ↓ عُدًى: (KL:) [i. e.] the broad stones with which the [ oblong excavation called ] لَحْد is covered over: (AA, TA:) or a thin stone with which a thing is concealed, or covered over; as also ↓ عِدَاآءٌ; (K, TA;) the latter written in [a copy of] the M ↓ عَدَاءٌ, like سَحَابٌ; but [the former explanation seems to be the more correct, for] it is added in the K that one thereof is termed ↓ عِدْوٌ; and accord. to this, the word expl. above [or each of the two words expl. above] is a pl. (TA. [See also عِدْوَةٌ.]) ― -b2- And Any piece of wood that is put between two [ other ] pieces of wood. (K, * TA.) -A2- See also عُدْوَةٌ, in two places: and عَادٍ, last sentence: ― -b2- and عُدَوَاآءُ: ― -b3- and عَدَاآءٌ. -A3- [It is also a pl. of عَدُوٌّ, which see in two places. -A4- ] And عِدَى is used as a prefixed n. for عِدَة as syn. with وَعْد. (Fr; S and L in art. وعد, q. v.)
