صعد

صَعْدَةٌ ذ A high, or an elevated, piece of land or ground; contr. of هَبْطَةٌ. (Mgh in art. هبط.) And صَعْدَةُ is said to be a proper name for The earth. (Ham p.22.) ― -b2- And A she-ass: (L, K:) or a long-backed she-ass: (L:) or long [ in the back ], applied to a she-ass as an epithet, and therefore the pl. is صَعْدَاتٌ, with the ع quiescent. (Ham p. 385.) And بَنَاتُ صَعْدَةَ Wild asses: (S, K:) said to be so called from صَعْدَةُ meaning as expl. above; and if this be correct, it is like the appellation بَنَاتُ البَرِّ: (Ham p. 22:) or as being likened to the women [or rather woman (as will be shown in what follows)] termed صعدة; and in like manner, أَوْلَادُ صَعْدَةَ: (Har p. 471:) the rel. n. [applied to a single wild ass ] is ↓ صَاعِدِىٌّ, (S, L, K,) irregularly formed: thus in the saying of Aboo-Dhu-eyb, فَرَمَى فَأَلْحَقَ صَاعِدِيًّا مِطْحَرًا بِالكَشْحِ فَا@شْتَمَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الأَضْلُعُ [ And he shot, and made a far-flying arrow to reach a wild ass in the flank, and the ribs enclosed it ]. (S, L.) ― -b3- And A spear, or spear-shaft; syn. قَنَاةٌ: (L:) a spear-shaft (قَنَاةٌ) straight by its growth, (S, L, K,) not requiring to be straightened: (S, L:) and a kind of أَلَّة [or broad-headed dart ], which is smaller than a حَرْبَة: (L:) or [simply] an أَلَّة: (K, TA:) [in the CK اٰلَة: and] in some copies of the K أَكَمَة, which is a mistranscription: (TA:) pl. صِعَادٌ and صَعَدَاتٌ; (L;) the latter with fet-h to the ع because it is a subst. (Ham p. 385.) One says, تَطَاعَنُوا بِالصِّعَادِ i. e. [ They thrust, or pierced, one another ] with the spears. (A.) ― -b4- [Hence,] جَارِيَةٌ صَعْدَةٌ (tropical:) A girl, or young woman, straight in figure, (A, L,) like a spear, or spear-shaft: (L:) pl. جَوَارٍ صَعْدَاتٌ, the latter word with the ع quiescent, (A, L,) because it is an epithet. (L.)
