” [Its dust makes sport with the wind in the morning and evening, or night and day, and so do the violent showers of big drops, and the pouring of copious, or abundant, rains, &c.], (L, K, *) is a pl. having no sing.; (K;) or it may be so, like تَعَاجِيبُ and تَعَاشِيبُ and تَبَاشِيرُ; or it may be pl. of تَجْوَادٌ [an inf. n.].

[of pauc., masc.,] أَجْوَادٌ and (of mult., TA) جُوْدٌ, (S, A, K,) like as قُذُلٌ is pl. of قَذَالٌ, but the و is made quiescent because it is an unsound letter, (S,) [in some copies of the K جُوُدٌ,] and أَجَاوِدُ, (S, K,) contr. to analogy, (TA,) or أَجَاوِيدُ, [reg., as pl. of أَجْوَادٌ,] (A,) and جُوَدَآءُ (S, K) and جُوَدَةٌ, (CK, [in some copies of the K omitted,]) or جُوْدَةٌ, or جُوُدَةٌ, [written in the latter manner in a MS. copy of the K,] with ة added to the [proper] pl. form [جُوْدٌ or جُوُدٌ], accord. to the doctrine of Sb: (TA:) جُوْدٌ is used as a fem. pl., (S, Msb,) and is like نُوْرٌ pl. of نَوَارٌ.
