1.1figurative · مجازtheir wind became still, or calm—رَكُدَتْ رِيحُهُمْ

. It was, or became, still, or motionless; said of water: and fixed, or stationary. The verb is used in the same way of the wind.

the sheave of the pulley was, or became, fixed—رَكَدَتِ البَكْرَةُ

Or it continued overhead, as though not leaving its place.
