وُدٌّ ذ : see 1, and وِدٌّ, and وَدٌّ. ― -b2- بِوُدِّى أَنْ يَكُونَ كَذَا I wish that such a thing may be. In the following saying of the poet, أَيُّهَا العَائِدُ المُسَائِلُ عَنَّا وَبِوُدِّيكَ لَوْ ثَرَى أَكْفَانِى [ O thou visitor of the sick, inquiring respecting us, wishing that thou mayest see my graveclothes ], the kesreh of the د is lengthened for sake of the measure. (S, L.)
