(L.) And صَعِدَ السَّطْحَ and إِِلَى السَّطْحِ (A, Msb) He ascended, or ascended to, the flat house-top. (Msb.)

(Msb, K.) And فِى الأَرْضِ ↓ صعّد He ascended the land. (AZ, TA.) One says, طَالَ ↓ فِى الأَرْضِ تَصْوِيبِى وَتَصْعِيدِى [Long have continued my descending, or going down, and my ascending, or going up, in the land]. (A. [There immediately following صَعَّدَ فِى الجَبَلِ, expl. above: see also رَكَبٌ مُصَعِّدٌ.]) -A2- See also 4, last sentence. 2 صعّد  , inf. n. تَصْعِيدٌ, as intrans.: see above, in four places. ― -b2- And see also 4, in four places. -A2- صعّدهُ He made him, or caused him, to ascend, or mount; syn. عَلَّاهُ; (K and TA in art. علو;) and رَقَّاهُ; (TA in art. رقى;) [and so ↓ اصعدهُ ; and ↓ استصعدهُ ; like as one says in the contr. sense نَزَّلَهُ and أَنْزَلَهُ and اِسْتَنْزَلَهُ.] You say, صعّدهُ جَبَلًا and دَابَّةٌ [He made him to ascend, or mount, a mountain and a beast]. (TA in art. علو.) And فِى الجَبَلِ ↓ يُصْعِدُونَهَا is said with reference to wild bulls or cows [as meaning They make them to ascend upon the mountain].

(TA.) And اصعد فِى البِلَادِ He went up, or upwards, through the countries, or lands. (AA, Msb.) And اصعد مِنْ بَلَدِ كَذَا إِِلَى بَلَدِ كَذَا He journeyed [upwards] from such a region, or town, to such another region, or town; from one that was lower to one that was higher. (Msb.) [And hence,] اصعد, inf. n. إِِصْعَادٌ, He journeyed, or went, towards Nejd, and El-Hijáz, and El-Yemen: [or towards a higher region:] and اِنْحَدَرَ signifies “ he journeyed, or went, towards El-'Irák, and Syria, and 'Omán: ” (ISk, on the authority of 'Omárah:) or the former, he journeyed, or went, towards the Kibleh: and the latter, “ he journeyed, or went, towards El-'Irák: ” (Aboo- Sakhr, T:) or the former, he came to Mekkeh; (K;) but this is a defective explanation: (TA:) and مُصْعَدٌ, also, is used as an inf. n. of this verb; and مُنْحَدَرٌ, as an inf. n. of انحدر: (T, TA:) or اصعد, inf. n. إِِصْعَادٌ, he commenced a journey, or went forth; as from Mekkeh, and from ElKoofeh to Khurásán, and the like: (Fr:) or he commenced a journey, or the like, in any direction: and انحدر signifies “ he returned, from any town or country. ” (Ibn-'Arafeh.)

(IB, L.) Akh cites the following words of 'Abd-Allah Ibn-Hemmám Es-Saloolee, “ طَوْرًا فِى البِلَادِ وَأُفْرِعُ ↓ أُصَعِّدُ
” (S, L,) as meaning I descending, or going down, at one time, through the countries, and [another time] ascending, or going up: this, says IB, is what induced Akh to explain صعّد as he has done; but it presents no proof, because إِِفْرَاعٌ has two contr. significations, that of إِِصْعَادٌ and that of اِنْحِدَارٌ: and accord. to AZ, by أُصَعِّدُ the poet means I ascending, or going up, to high places; and by أُفْرِعُ, the contrary. (L.) ― -b4- اصعد also signifies He advanced towards another. (L.) ― -b5- And He went far; syn. أَبْعَدَ. (Ham p. 22.) ― -b6- And اصعد فِى العَدْوِ He exerted himself vehemently in running.

(L.) -A2- تصعّدهُ (S, A, K) and ↓ تصاعدهُ (A, K) It (a thing, S, K, or an affair, A) was, or became, difficult, or distressing, to him; it distressed, or afflicted, him: (A'Obeyd, S, A, K:) from صَعُودٌ as signifying “ a mountain-road difficult of ascent: ” (A' Obeyd:) or from الصَّعُودٌ as the name of “ a certain mountain in Hell. ” (TA.) 6 تصاعد  , and its var. اِصَّاعَدَ: see 1: -A2- and see also 5. 8 اصطعد  , and its var. اِصَّعَدَ: see 1, in two places. 10 استصعدهُ  : see 2. ― -b2- استصعد البَرِيرَ He plucked or gathered, the fruit of the أَرَاك to eat.

(Ham p. 349.) -A2- Also a pl. of صَعُودٌ: and of صَعِيدٌ. (S, L, K.) -A3- صُعُدٌ, thus, with two dammehs, is also the name of A certain tree from which pitch is melted forth. (L.) صَعْدَةٌ  A high, or an elevated, piece of land or ground; contr. of هَبْطَةٌ. (Mgh in art. هبط.) And صَعْدَةُ is said to be a proper name for The earth.

(Ham p. 385.) And بَنَاتُ صَعْدَةَ Wild asses: (S, K:) said to be so called from صَعْدَةُ meaning as expl. above; and if this be correct, it is like the appellation بَنَاتُ البَرِّ: (Ham p. 22:) or as being likened to the women [or rather woman (as will be shown in what follows)] termed صعدة; and in like manner, أَوْلَادُ صَعْدَةَ: (Har p. 471:) the rel. n.
