1.1Paradise; or the Paradises; or the world to come—الخُلْدُ

Paradise; or the Paradises; or the world to come—دَارُ الخُلْدِ

[The abode of the state of perpetual existence.]

A bracelet; and an earring.

[The mole;] the blind rat; as also خَلْدٌ and جُلْذٌ [q. v.], in the article جلذ.

Or a species of rat; as also خِلْدٌ; or one of the names of the فَأْر [or rat]; or a species of the [kind of rats called] جِرْذَان, blind by nature, having no eyes, living in the deserts.

Lth says the singular is خِلْدٌ and the plural خِلْدَانٌ. In the T the singular is said to be خِلْدَةٌ and the plural خِلْدَانٌ, which is very strange.

Or a blind animal [that lives] under the ground, having no eyes, that likes the smell of onions and leeks; so that if either of these is put over its hole, it comes out and is caught.

If its upper lip is hung upon a person suffering from a quartan fever, it cures him; and its brain, moistened with oil of roses and used as an ointment, dispels the maladies called البَرَص, البَهَق, القَوَابِى, الجَرَب, الكَلَف and الخَنَازِير, and every eruption on the body.

مَنَاجِذُ — or, as in some copies of the K, مَنَاجِدُ, with the unpointed د — is used as its plural, as مَخَاضٌ is used as the plural of خَلِفَةٌ.

3.1
