[Hence مَرْدُونٌ applied to spun thread.]) ― -b2- [And app. She wove a garment, or piece of cloth, with spun thread such as is termed مَرْدُونٌ, or رَدَنٌ: whence مَرْدُونٌ applied to such a garment, or piece of cloth.] ― -b3- The vulgar say of him who is drowsing, drowsy, or heavy with sleep, عَيْنُهُ تردنُ وَتَغْزِلُ [perhaps تَرْدِنُ, to assimilate it to تَغْزِلُ, app. meaning (assumed tropical:) His eye blinks, twinkles, or moves its lids to and for; like the hand that spins thread in two different directions, or that throws the shuttle to and fro].
