دَهْدَاءٌ دهداء Small, or young, camels: (JK, S, K:) pl. دَهَادِهُ. (S, * K.) A rájiz says, قُلَيِّصَاتٍ وَأُبَيْكِرِينَا ↓ قَدْ رَوِيَتْ اـِلَّا دُهَيْدِهِينَا [ They had satisfied their thirst, except some small, or young, camels; little young she-camels and little young he-camels ]: as though he formed from دَهْدَاهٌ the pl. دَهَادِهُ; and from this, the dim. دُهَيْدِهٌ; and from this, the pl. دُهَيْدِهِينَ [in the nom. case دُهَيْدِهوُنَ]: (S, TA:*) and in like manner, أُبَيْكِرِينَ as pl. of أُبَيْكِرٌ, dim. of أَبْكُرٌ, pl. of بَكْرٌ. (S.) [Accord. to a passage imperfectly written in the TA, it seems to signify also Many small, or young, camels; and so, as there written, دهدان, app. for ↓ دَهْدَهَانٌ.] ― -b2- One says also, مَا أَدْرِى أَىٌّ الدَّهْدَاهِ هُوَ, (TA,) or الدَّهْدَأِ and الدَّهْدَاآءِ, the last on the authority of Ks, meaning I know not what one of men he is. (S, TA.)
