” [And many people count it, or reckon it, as merchandise]. (Har p. 127.) 2 عَدَّ3َ see above, in two places. ― -b2- عدّدهُ also signifies He made it a provision against the casualties of fortune: (S, O, K: see also 4:) so, accord. to Akh, in the Kur civ. 2: or, as some say, he made it numerous: (S, O:) or it may mean he reckoned it (Bd and Jel in civ. 2) time after time.

(S, O, K. *) And أَعْدَدْتُ لِلْأَمْرِ عُدَّتَهُ [I made ready, prepared, or provided, for the affair, its proper apparatus]. (TA.) Some say that أَعَدَّ is originally أَعْتَدَ; but others deny this. (L in art. عتد.) See also 1, former half. -A2- أَعَدَّ is also intrans.: [but when it is used as such, نَفْسَهُ may be considered as understood after it:] see 10. 5 تَعَدَّ3َ [تعدّد It was, or became, numerous: often used in this sense. ― -b2- Hence, one says,] هُمْ يَتَعَدَّدُونَ عَلَى عَشَرَةِ آلَافٍ They exceed in number ten thousand; and ↓ يَتَعَادُّونَ signifies the same; (S, O, K; *) or the latter means they participate, one with another, in such generous qualities as may be shared.

(S, O, K.) 'Omar said, (S, O,) or not 'Omar, but the Prophet, (K,) اِخْشَوْشِنُوا وَتَمَعْدَدُوا, (S, O, * K, *) i. e.

(S, A, O.) ― -b3- And حَسَبٌ عِدٌّ (tropical:) Old nobility or the like: (M, A, O:) accord. to IDrd, from عِدٌّ applied to old water that does not become exhausted. (TA.

(Msb.) One says, أَخَذَ لِلْأَمْرِ عُدَّتَهُ and عَتَادَهُ [He took, for the affair, his apparatus, &c.; or he prepared, or provided, himself for the affair]: both signify the same.

(Msb.) One says, اِنْقَضَتْ عِدَّتُهَا Her عِدَّة ended, (S, TA,) from the period of the death of her husband, or of his divorcing her. (TA.) ― -b4- اِنْقَضَتْ عِدَّةُ الرَّجُلِ means The man's term of life ended: pl. عِدَدٌ.

See also عِدَادٌ, in two places. عَدَدٌ ذ a subst. from عَدَّهُ “ he numbered it; ” as also ↓ عَدِيدٌ : (S, O, K:) [originally] What is numbered, counted, reckoned, or computed: (O, Msb, K: [in the CK, a و is inadvertently omitted after the explanation of this meaning:]) [and hence,] a number; (Msb;) and ↓ عَدِيدٌ is syn. therewith [in this sense, as will be seen in what follows]; (A;) a quantity composed of units; and therefore not [properly] applicable to one; but accord. to the grammarians, one belongs to the predicament ofالعَدَدُ because it is the root thereof, and because it implies quantity, for when it is said “ How many hast thou? ” it is as proper to answer “ One ” as it is to answer “ Three ” &c.: (Msb:) pl. أَعْدَادٌ. (TA.) ↓ مَا أَكْثَرَ عَدِيدَهُمْ means عَدَدَهُمْ [i. e. How great is their number!]. (A.) Zj says that عَدَدٌ is sometimes used in the sense of an inf. n.; as in the phrase in the Kur [xviii. 10], سِنِينَ عَدَدًا: but many say that it is in this instance used in its proper sense, meaning مَعْدُودَةً [i. e. numbered], and is made masc. because سِنِين is syn. with أَعْوَام. (Msb.) In the phrase وَأَحْصَى كُلَّ شَىْءٍ عَدَدًا, in the Kur [lxxii. last verse], it is used in its proper sense of مَعْدُودًا, and is put in the accus. case as a denotative of state; or it is used in this case as an inf. n. (IAth, O.) ― -b2- It signifies also The years of a man's life, which one numbers, or counts. (IAar, O, K. [In the CK, after the words وَالعَدَدُ المعدُودُ, a و should be inserted.]) Hence the phrase رَقَّ عَدَدُهُ The years of his life, which he numbered, became few, the greater part having passed. (IAar, O.) عِدَدٌ  : see the next paragraph. عِدَادٌ  an inf. n. of 3 [q. v.].

(O, K, * TA.) ― -b6- And لَقِيتُ فُلَانًا عِدَادَ الثُّرَيَّا, (S, O, K,) or عِدَادَ الثُّرَيَّا القَمَرَ, and فِى نُزُولِ القَمَرِ الثُّرَيَّا, (TA,) meaning I met such a one once in the month: (S, O, K:) because the moon makes its abode in الثريّا [the Pleiades, its third Mansion,] once in every month: (S, O:) IB [understood the meaning to be, once in the year; for he] asserts that, correctly, J should have said, because the moon is in conjunction with الثريّا once in every year, and that is on the fifth day of [the Syrian month] Ádhár [corresponding to March O. S.], agreeably with what is said in a verse of Ibn-Holáhil which will be found cited in what follows: but [this verse evidently relates to what was the case in its author's time; for it is well known that] the moon traverses the firmament once in every month, and is every night in a [different], Mansion, and it is therefore in [the Mansion of] الثريّا once in every month. (L, TA.) [Accord. to some,] one says, لَا آتِيكَ إِِلَّا عِدَادَ القَمَرِ الثُّرَيَّا, meaning I will not come to thee save once in the year: because the moon makes its abode in الثريّا but once in the year: (A:) and مَا يَأْتِينَا فُلَانٌ إِِلَّا عِدَادَ الثُّرَيَّا القَمَرَ, and إِِلَّا قِرَانَ القَمَرِ الثُّرَيَّا, meaning Such a one comes not to us save once in the year: and مَا أَلْقَاهُ إِِلَّا الثُّرَيَّا القَمَرَ ↓ عِدَّةَ , and الّا عِدَادَ الثُّرَيَّا القَمَرَ, and الّا عِدَادَ الثُّرَيَّا مِنَ القَمَرِ, meaning I do not meet him save once in the year: (TA:) [but these explanations are probably founded upon a want of due consideration of a statement which here follows:] after citing this verse of Aseed, or Useyd, or Useiyid, [written in the TA اسيد,] Ibn-Holáhil, or Ibn-El-Holáhil, [thus differently written in different places,] “ إِِذَا مَا قَارَنَ القَمَرُ الثُّرَيَّا
لِثَالِثَةِ فَقَدْ ذَهَبَ الشِّتَآءُ
” [When the moon is in conjunction with the Pleiades in a third night, then winter has departed], AHeyth said, [as though what was the case at a particular period of a cycle were the case generally,] the moon is in conjunction with الثريّا only in a third night from the new moon, [meaning only once in the year in the third night,] and that is in the beginning of spring and the end of winter. (TA.) ― -b7- And عِدَادٌ and ↓ عِدَدٌ , (S, O, K,) the latter a contraction of the former, used by poetic license, (S, O,) signify A paroxysm of pain which a person stung or bitten by a venomous reptile suffers on the completion of a year from the day on which he was stung or bitten: (S, O, K: *) a paroxysm of pain occurring at a certain period: (A:) a paroxysm such as that of a tertian, or quartan, fever; and the pain of poison which kills at a certain period: and the regular period of the return of a fever is called its عِدَاد. (TA.) One says, أَتَتْهُ اللَّسْعَةُ لِعِدَادٍ The pain of the venomous sting, or bite, returned to him with vehemence at the expiration of a year. (S, O, * K.) And بِهِ مَرَضٌ عِدَادٌ He has a malady that intermits and returns. (A.) And عِدَادُ السَّلِيمِ is said to signify A period of seven days from that on which the person has received a venomous sting or bite: when it has expired, his recovery is hoped for: as long as it has not expired, one says, هُوَ فِى عِدَادِهِ. (A, TA.) [See also 3.] ― -b8- عِدَادٌ signifies also The time of death. (O, K.) ― -b9- And A day, or night, when the family of a person deceased assemble together to wail for him. (ISk, TA.) ― -b10- And A touch of insanity or diabolical possession: (S, O, K:) or an affection resembling insanity or diabolical possession, that takes a man at certain times. (Az, TA.)

(TA.) One says, فُلَانٌ عَدِيدُ بَنِى فُلَانٍ, (S, Mgh, O, Msb,) and ↓ مِنْ عِدَادِهِمْ , (Msb,) Such a one is numbered, or reckoned, among the sons of such a one. (S, Mgh, O, Msb.) And فِى بَنِى ↓ عِدَادُهُ فُلَانٍ He is numbered among the sons of such a one in the دِيوَان [or register of soldiers or pensioners]. (S, O, K.) And أَهْلِ ↓ فُلَانٌ فِى عِدَادِ الخَيْرِ Such a one is numbered, or reckoned, among the people of goodness, or of wealth. (S, O.) ― -b3- And A like, or an equal; [originally, in number;] (A, O, K;) as also ↓ عِدٌّ and ↓ عِدَادٌ : (IAar, O, K:) pl. of the first عَدَائِدُ; and of the second and third أَعْدَادٌ. (TA.) One says, هٰذِهِ الدَّرَاهِمُ عَدِيدُ هٰذِهِ These dirhems are equal to these. (A, * TA.) And هُمْ عَدِيدُ الحَصَى وَالثَّرَى They are equal in multitude, or quantity, to the pebbles and the moist earth; (S, * O, * TA;) i. e. they are innumerable. (TA.) The saying of Aboo-Duwád, describing a mare, “ وَطِمِرَّةٍ كَهِرَاوَةِ الأَعْزَابِ لَيْسَ لَهَا عَدَائِدْ
” Th explains by saying that he likens her to the staff of the wayfarer, because of her being smooth, as though عدائد here meant knots: [so that, accord. to him, we should render the verse thus: And compact in make, or swift and excellent, like the staff of those who go far away with their camels to pasture, having no knots:] but Az says that the meaning is, [like Hiráwet-el-Aazáb (a celebrated mare)], having no equals. (TA.) -A2- See also عِدَادٌ, last sentence but one. عَدِيدَةٌ ذ A lot, portion, or share: (IAar, O, K:) like غَدِيدَةٌ: (IAar, O:) pl. عَدَائِدُ; (IAar, O, TA;) with which ↓ عِدَادٌ is syn.: and عَدَائِدُ signifies also property divided into shares; and an inheritance [so divided]. (TA.) Lebeed says, “ تَطِيرُ عَدَائِدُ الأَشْرَاكِ شَفْعًا
وَوِتْرًا وَالزَّعَامَةُ لِلْغُلَامِ
” The portions of property and inheritance of the sharers fly away in the course of time, two together and singly; but the lordship, or mastery, is still remaining for the boy: (IAar, TA:) or the poet means those who share with him [i. e. with the boy] (مَنْ يُعَادُّهُ) in the inheritance: or it (عدائد) is from عُدَّةُ المَالِ [i. e. what one prepares for a future time, of property]: (S, O:) for عدائد, in this verse, some read غَدَائِدُ.

(A, TA.) One says, عَرِقَ مَعَدَّاهُ [The parts of his sides beneath the two boards of the saddle sweated]. (A, TA.) اللِّبْسَةُ المَعَدِّيَّةُ  The mode of dress of the sons of Ma'add, which was coarse and rude. (S, from a trad. [See Q. Q. 2.]) مَعْدُودٌ  [meaning Numbered, counted, reckoned, or computed,] is applied to any number, little or large; but مَعْدُودَاتٌ more particularly denotes few; and so does every pl. formed by the addition of ا and ت, as دُرَيْهِمَاتٌ and حَمَامَاتٌ; though it is allowable to use such a pl. to denote muchness. (Zj, TA.) الأَيَّامُ المَعْدُودَاتُ signifies The days called أَيَّامُ التَّشْرِيقِ; (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K;) the three days next after the day of the sacrifice [which is the tenth of Dhu-l-Hijjeh]; thus called because they are few. (TA.) And one also says دَرَاهِمُ مَعْدُودَةٌ [lit. Numbered, or counted, dirhems] as meaning a few dirhems. (TA.) المُعَيْدِىُّ  is the dim. of المَعَدِّىُّ, (S, O, K,) meaning He whose origin is referred to Ma'add, (S, O, TA,) and is originally المُعَيْدِدِىُّ, then المُعَيْدِّىُّ, and then المُعَيْدِىُّ, (IDrst, TA,) thus pronounced without the teshdeed of the د because the double teshdeed, (IDrst, S, O, K, TA,) that of the د with that of the ى after it, (IDrst, TA,) is found difficult of pronunciation, (IDrst, S, O, K, TA,) combined with the ى that denotes the dim.: (S, O, K:) it is thus pronounced in the prov., أَنْ تَسْمَعَ بِالْمُعَيْدِىِّ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَنْ تَرَاهُ [Thy hearing of the Mo'eydee is better than thy seeing him]: (Ks, S, O:) or تَسْمَعُ بالمعيدىّ خير من ان تراه, (K, TA,) which means the same, the ع in تسمع being pronounced with damm because أَنْ is suppressed before it; but some pronounce it with nasb, regarding أَنْ as understood, though this is anomalous: (TA:) or تَسْمَعُ بِالْمُعَيْدِىِّ لَا أَنْ تَرَاهُ; as though meaning hear thou of the Mo'eydee, but do not see him: (ISk, S, O, K:) of which three variants, the second is that which is best known: so says A 'Obeyd: (TA:) the prov. is applied to him who is of good repute, but whose outward appearance is contemned. (S, O, K, TA. [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 223.]) مُعْتَدٌّ بِهِ  A thing included in a numbering, or reckoning. (Msb.) [And hence, A thing of which account is made; that is accounted a matter of importance. See the verb.] مُسْتَعِدَّاتٌ  is used in a verse of Ibn-Mukbil as meaning The legs of a she-camel.
