1.2figurative · مجازhe (a camel) had the disease called صَيَدٌ—صَيِدَ
Of the dialect of El-Ḥijáz; muḍāriʿ يَصْيَدُ, maṣdar صَيَدٌ and صَادَ; also. The disease is explained below.
The ى in صَيِدَ is kept unchanged because it is kept so in the original form, which is اِصْيَدَّ, though they may not have said اِصْيَدَّ; and the same happens in عَوِرَ. The added letters are dropped to make the word lighter. So with verbs of this class one does not say مَا أَفْعَلَهُ — that is, مَا أَصْيَدَهُ and مَا أَعُوَرَهُ and the like — forming verbs of wonder, because the original form has added letters, and a verb of four letters cannot be formed from a verb of four letters, since a measure can only be formed from a measure that is shorter.
he raised his head out of pride—صَيِدَ
Both verbs, this one and form 9, also mean: he (a man) was unable to look aside, by reason of disease.
.
he (a man) had an inclining, or a bending, neck—صَيِدَ
Also said of a king: he did not look aside, to the right or left.
Written صَئِدَ in the CK, in error.
