قض

قَضَضٌ ذ A thing broken, brayed, crushed, or broken in pieces by beating: (TA:) pebbles broken in pieces and crushed: (TA:) or, as also ↓ قَضَّةٌ, pebbles broken into small pieces: (K:) or small pebbles broken in pieces: (A:) or, accord. to some, the former is pl. [or rather a quasi-pl. n.] of the latter: (TA:) or both signify pebbles, and dust: (TA:) or the former signifies small pebbles; (S, M;) as also ↓ قِضَّةٌ, (S, K,) and ↓ قَضَّةٌ, (K,) and ↓ قَضِيضٌ, accord. to IAar, as is said by IAth and Sgh and the author of the L, not ↓ قَضٌّ, as is said in the K, for this signifies large pebbles, accord. to IAar, as is said by the three authors mentioned above as citing him, and the author of the K has erred in assigning this last meaning to ↓ قَضِيضٌ: (TA:) or ↓ قَضٌّ signifies pebbles; and ↓ قَضِيضٌ is a pl. [or rather a quasi-pl. n.] thereof: (AHeyth, L:) and قَضَضٌ also signifies dust that overspreads a bed. (M, K.) You say, اـِتَّقِ القَضَضَ فِى طَعَامِكَ, and ↓ القَضَّةَ, Beware thou of the pebbles and dust in thy food. (TA.) -A2- See also قَضٌّ.
