10 استدام استدام ٱستدام : see 1. ― -b2- And see also 2. ― -b3- And اُسْتُدِيمَ: see 1, last sentence but one. -A2- As a trans. v., (T,) i. q. اِنْتَظَرَ, (Sb, T, TA,) as also ↓ تدوّم, (K, [or this may perhaps be used only without an objective complement expressed,]) and رَقَبَ, (T,) or تَرَقَّبَ: (Sh, TA:) you say, اِسْتَدِمْ كَذَا, meaning اِنْتَظِرْهُ and اُرْقُبْهُ (assumed tropical:) [ Look thou for, expect, await, wait for, or watch for, such a thing. ] (T.) [When no objective complement is expressed, it seems to mean (assumed tropical:) He paused, and acted with deliberation, or in a patient or leisurely manner, or he waited in expectation; app. from the same verb as syn. with دَوَّمَ; and thus, like one who hovers about a thing: see حَوَّمَ; and see also اِنْتَظَرَ.] And استدامهُ (tropical:) He acted with moderation, gently, deliberately, or leisurely, in it; (S, M, K, TA;) namely, an affair, or a case: (S:) or he sought, desired, asked, or demanded, its continuance, or long continuance, or endless continuance: and so ↓ داومهُ (M, K, TA) in both of these senses: (K, TA:) or he asked him to render a thing continual &c.: (Mgh, Msb, TA:) and also (assumed tropical:) he acted gently and deliberately in it; namely, an affair, or a case: (Msb:) and (assumed tropical:) he acted gently with him; (Fr, T in art. ديم, M, Msb, Kt;) i. e., another person, (Msb,) or his creditor; as also اِسْتَدْمَاهُ, (Fr, T, M, K,) which we judge to be formed from the former by transposition, because we do not find it [in this sense] to have any inf. n. (M.) A poet says, (T, S, Msb,) namely, Keys Ibn-Zuheyr, (S,) فَلَا تَعْجَلْ بِأَمْرِكَ وَا@سْتَدِمْهُ ↓ فَمَا صَلَّى عَصَاكَ كَمُسْتَدِيمِ (T, S, Msb,) i. e. (assumed tropical:) [ Therefore haste not in thine affair, but act with moderation, gently, deliberately, or leisurely, therein ]; for no one has straightened thy staff by turning it round over the fire, (T,) meaning, no one has managed thine affair soundly, like one who acts with moderation, &c. (T, Msb.) And another says, (S,) namely, Mejnoon, (TA,) وَاـِنَّى عَلَى لَيْلَى لَزَارٍ وَاـِنَّنِى عَلَىذَاكَ فِيمَا بَيْنَنَا أَسْتَدِيمُهَا meaning (assumed tropical:) [ And verily I am blaming Leylà; and verily, notwithstanding that, ] I look for her aiding me by good conduct [ in the matter that is between us ]. (S.) You say also, أَسْتَدِيمُ ا@للّٰهَ نِعْمَتَكَ I seek, or desire, or ask, of God the continuance, or long continuance, or endless continuance, of thy favour, or the like. (Mgh, TA. *) And أَسْتَدِيمُ ا@للّٰهَ عِزَّكَ I ask God to continue, or continue long, &c., thy might, or power, &c. (Msb.) The phrase استدام لُبْسَ الثَّوْبِ, meaning [ He continued long the wearing of the garment, or] he did not hasten to pull off the garment, may be from the saying اِسْتَدَمْتُ عَاقِبَةَ الأَمْرِ, meaning I looked, or watched, or waited, for the end, or issue, or result, of the affair, or case. (Msb.) -A3- Also He (a man) stooped his head, blood dropping from it: formed by transposition from اِسْتَدْمَى (Kr, TA.)
