Lane's Lexicon (Edward Lane, 1863)

سِدْسٌ ذ is the original form of سِتٌّ, (M, K,) fem. of سِتَّةٌ, which is originally سِدْسَةٌ, (M,) [meaning Six; for] the dim. [of سِتٌّ is ↓ سُدَيْسٌ, and that] of سِتَّةٌ is ↓ سُدَيْسَةٌ; and the pl. is أَسْدَاسٌ. (S in art. ست, q. v.) ― -b2- Also [The drinking of camels on the sixth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first; as will be seen from what here follows;] the period of the drinking of camels [ next ] after that called خِمْسٌ: or after six days and five nights: (M, TA:) or their being kept from the water five days, and coming to it on the sixth: (S:) but Sgh says that this is a mistake, and that the correct meaning of the term is, their being kept from the water four days, and coming to it on the fifth; and so it is explained in the [A and] K: (TA:) or their drinking one day, then being kept from the water four days, then coming to it on the fifth day; so [by the application of the term سِدْسٌ] they include in their reckoning the first day in which the camels drink: (Aboo-Sahl, TA:) or their remaining in the place of pasture four days [ after drinking ], then coming to the water on the fifth: (TA:) pl. أَسْدَاسٌ. (M, Sgh, TA.) You say, وَرَدَتْ اـِبْلُهُ سِدْسًا [ His camels came to the water on the sixth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first ]. (S, A, K.)

[ سُدَاسَ ذ as meaning Six and six together, or six at a time and six at a time, seems not to have been heard: see عُشَارَ. But Freytag mentions سُدَاسٌ as used by El-Mutanebbee for سِتَّة.]

(M.) [See also سِدْنٌ.]

(M, K.) [Hence,] one says, مَا لَهُ هَمٌّ وَلَا سَدَمٌ اـِلَّا ذَاكَ [ He has no object of anxiety nor of repentance and grief except that: or this saying may be from what next follows]. (S.) ― -b2- سَدِمَ بِالشَّىْءِ, aor. and inf. n. as above, He desired the thing vehemently, eagerly, greedily, very greedily, or excessively; hankered after it, or coveted it; and he was, or became, devoted, addicted, or attached, to it: (TK:) [but these meanings of the verb are perhaps only inferred from the saying that] السَّدَمُ is syn. with الحِرْصُ: and اللَّهَجُ بِالشَّىْءِ, (M, K, [in the CK اللَّهْجُ,]) and الوُلُوعُ. (TA.) Hence the trad., مَنْ كَانَتِ الدُّنْيَا هَمَّهُ وَسَدَمَهُ جَعَلَ ا@للّٰهُ فَقْرَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ [ To whomsoever the present state of existence is the object of his anxiety and of his eager desire &c., God places his poverty before his eyes ].
