(Msb [in the M “ and it is said to mean ”]) the portion [or threads ] thereof extended longitudinally (M, * Msb, K *) in the weaving: (Msb:) and it is said to mean the lower, or lowest, part thereof: (M: [but this is a strange explanation, which I do not find elsewhere:]) it is [said to be] from السَّدْوُ [inf. n. of سَدَا] signifying “ the stretching forth the arm, or hand, or the fore leg, towards a thing: ” (Har p. 241: [but it is mentioned in the M as belonging to art. سدى; and its dual, mentioned below, requires its being so:]) and ↓ أَسْدِىٌّ, (M, K,) also [and more commonly] written ↓ أُسْدِىٌّ, (K,) signifies the same; (M, K;) as also ↓ سَدَاةٌ; (S, K;) or this last is the n. un. of سَدًى, (M, TA,) having a more special signification, (Msb, TA,) [as though meaning a warp, or a sort of warp; or the لُحْمَةٌ may be affixed for the purpose of assimilating the word to its contr. سَدًى, with which it is often coupled:] the dual [of سَدًى] is سَدَيَانِ: (S, Msb, TA:) and the pl. is أَسْدِيَةٌ (accord. to the S) or أَسْدَاآءٌ. (Msb.) ↓ مَا أَنْتَ بِلُحْمَةٍ وَلَا سَدَاةٍ [lit. Thou art neither a woof nor a warp ] is said to him who neither harms nor profits. (TA.

[and both applied to dew in an absolute sense ]: and the pl. is أَسْدَاآءٌ. (M.) ― -b5- And (tropical:) Liberality, bounty, munificence, or generosity; as being likened thereto; and so نَدًى.
