مِجْدَحٌ مجدح The instrument with which سَوِيق is stirred about with water &c.; (S, A, K, &c.;) which is a piece of wood the end whereof has several sides; (S, L;) or a piece of wood at the head of which are two cross pieces of wood; (A, Mgh, L;) and sometimes having three prongs: (IAth, TA:) pl. مَجَادِحُ. (L.) ― -b2- It is sometimes used tropically, as relating to evil, or mischief. (L.) [Thus it means (tropical:) A stirrer-up of evil or mischief; or a thing that stirs up, or whereby one stirs up, evil or mischief.] ― -b3- Also (assumed tropical:) Any one of the مَجَادِيحُ السَّمَاآءِ [or stirrers-up of the sky, or of rain ]; (L;) these being the أَنْوَاآءٌ [or stars, or asterisms, which, by their auroral settings or risings, were believed by the Pagan Arabs to bring rain &c. ]; (S, L, K;) of those انواء that seldom or never failed [ to bring rain ], accord. to the Arabs: (Mgh:) the ى in the pl. is added to give fulness to the sound of the kesreh; for the regular pl. is مَجَادِحُ, and the sing. of مجاديح should by rule be مِجْدَاحٌ. (A, IAth, Mgh.) One says, ارْسَلَتِ السَّمَاآءَ مَجَادِيحُهَا (L) or مَجَادِيحُ الغَيْثِ (A) (assumed tropical:) [ Its stirrers-up, or the stirrers-up of rain, or the stars or asterisms which were the bringers of it, sent forth rain ]. It is related of 'Omar, that he ascended the pulpit to pray for rain, and, having only offered a prayer for forgiveness, descended; whereupon it was said to him, “ Thou hast not prayed for rain; ” and he replied, لَقَدِ ا@سْتَسْقَيْتُ بِمَجَادِيحِ السَّمَاآءِ (assumed tropical:) [ I have indeed prayed for rain by words which are the stirrers-up of rain ]; making the prayer for forgiveness to be a prayer for rain, in allusion to a passage in the Kur, lxxi. 9 and 10; and meaning thereby to deny the efficacy of the انواء. (A, * Mgh, * L.) المِجْدَحُ, also pronounced ↓ المُجْدَحُ, (S, K,) thus pronounced by El-Umawee, (S,) is moreover the name of (assumed tropical:) A particular star or asterism, one of those which the Pagan Arabs asserted to be bringers of rain: (L:) said to be الدَّبَرَانُ [ the Hyades; or the five chief stars thereof; or the brightest star thereof, a of Taurus ]; (S, A, L, K;) [which is called by this name of الدبران] because it rises latterly [with respect to the Pleiades], (S,) or because it follows (يَدْبُرُ, i. e. يَتْبَعُ,) the Pleiades: (T in art. دبر:) [whence] it is also called حَادِى النُّجُومِ [“ the urger of the stars, ” properly, “ with singing ”], (S,) or حَادِى النَّجْمِ [“ the urger of the asterism, ” meaning, “ of the Pleiades ”], and تَالِى النَّجْمِ [“ the follower of the asterism, ” or, “ of the Pleiades ”], (Kzw,) and التَّالِى and التَّابِعُ [“ the follower ”]: (Sh:) or it is a small star or asterism, between الدبران and الثُّرَيَّا [or the Pleiades ]: (IAar, K:) [perhaps meaning the four stars that are the chief stars of the Hyades exclusively of a Tauri: ] or three stars, (Mgh, TA,) like the three stones upon which a cooking-pot rests, (TA,) likened to a three-pronged مِجْدَح; (Mgh, TA;) on the [ auroral ] rising of which, heat is expected: (TA:) the Arabs regarded it as one of the انواء which [by their auroral setting] foretokened rain. (IAth.) المِجْدَحَانِ is a name by which some of the Arabs called (assumed tropical:) The two wings of الجَوْزَاآء [or Orion ]. (Sh, TA.) ― -b4- مِجْدَحٌ also signifies (assumed tropical:) A certain mark made with a hot iron upon the thighs of camels. (K.)

مُجَدَّحٌ مجدح Beverage, or wine, (شَرَاب,) stirred about: (S, K:) and in like manner, blood, when it is stirred about in the body of a gored animal by the goring horn. (L.)

مَجْدُوحٌ مجدوح Blood drawn from a vein, used in times of dearth, or drought, (S, K,) in the Time of Ignorance: (S:) or blood which was mixed with something else, and eaten in times of dearth: (TA:) or a kind of food of the Pagan Arabs, being blood obtained by opening a vein of a she-camel, which blood was received in a vessel, and drunk. (T, TA.)

(Ham p. 818.) -A2- He concealed himself by means of a جِدار [or wall ]. (Th, K.) -A3- جُدِرَ, (A, K,) inf. n. جَدْرٌ; (TA;) and جَدَرَ, (Lh, K,) aor. جَدُرَ , inf. n. جَدْرٌ; (Lh, TA;) and ↓ جُدِّرَ, (S, (A, K,) which last some disallow, because this form denotes repetition, and the verb signifies the having a disease that befalls but once in a man's life; (MF;) He (a man, S, or a child, A) had, or became attacked by, جُدَرِىّ [or small-pox ]. (S, A, K.) [And جَدَرَ الجُدَرِىُّ The small-pox came forth, or broke out; as in the TK: for its inf. n.] جَدْرٌ signifies the coming forth, or breaking out, of the جُدَرِىّ. (K.) -A4- جَدُرَ, aor. جَدُرَ , inf. n. جَدَارَةٌ, He, or it, was, or became, adapted, disposed, apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, competent, proper, or worthy. (K.) You say, جَدُرَ بِهِ [and لَهُ] He was, or became, adapted, disposed, apt, &c., for it. (A.) [And جَدُرَ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ كَذَا He was, or became, adapted, disposed, apt, &c., for doing such a thing. See جَدِيرٌ.] -A5- جَدَرَهُ He made, or called, (جَعَلَ,) him, or it, adapted, disposed, apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, competent, proper, or worthy. (K.)

2 جَدَّرَ بِنَاآءَهُ جدر بناآءه جدر بناآءة : see 8. -A2- جُدِّرَ: see 1.

4 مَا أَجْدَرَهُ بِالخَيْرِ ذ [and لِلْخَيْرِ] How well adapted or disposed, or how apt, meet, suited, suitable, fitted, fit, competent, or proper, is he for what is good! or how worthy is he of what is good! (A.) And مَا أَجْدَرَهُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ذٰلِكَ, and أَجْدِرْ بِهِ, How well adapted or disposed, or how apt, meet, &c., is he for doing that! or how worthy is he to do that! (TA.) The usage of جَدُرَ, signifying “ he was, or became, adapted, &c., ” refutes the assertion of certain grammarians that these two forms of the verb deviate from general rule. (MF.)

8 اجتدر بِنَاآءَهُ اجتدر بناآءه اجتدر بناآءة ; and ↓ جدّرهُ, inf. n. تَجْدِيرٌ (K) and مُجَدَّرٌ; (TA;) He raised his building high; or constructed it firmly and strongly, and raised it high; syn. شَيَّدَهُ. (K, TA.) [In the CK, we read اِجتَدَرَ بِنَاهُ, as though the pronoun ه referred to the word جِدَار, which precedes; and thus the verb signified “ he built a wall; ” but it is shown in the TA that the right reading is that given above.]

Q. Q. 1 جَنْدَرَ الكِتَابَ جندر الكتاب He passed the pen over what had become obliterated, of the writing, (S, K,) in order that it might become distinct. (S.) And جندر الثَّوْبَ He renewed the variegated, or figured, work of the garment, or piece of cloth, after it had gone. (S, K.) [J says,] I think it to be an arabicized word. (S)

(S, Msb, K.) ― -b2- The basis, or foundation, of a wall: (K:) and the side of a wall: (Lh, K:) pl., in both these senses, جُدُورٌ.
