muḍāriʿـَيَفْعَلُmaṣdarضَجْعٌ

Core sense — he lay on his side, he slept; he was weak in an affairgenerated

1.1he laid his side on the ground; [he lay upon his side; and simply he lay; and he slept]—اِضْطَجَعَ

maṣdar ضَجْعٌ and ضُجُوعٌ.

It is also explained as synonymous with نَامَ [which has the second and third of the meanings mentioned above], and with اِسْتَلْقَى [which has the third of those meanings].

The ط is substituted for the ت of اِضْتَجَعَ and اِضَّجَعَ and اِلْطَجَعَ (in the CK, wrongly, اطَّجَعَ); the ض in اضطجع is changed into ل, the letter nearest to it in sound, because the combination of two such letters as ض and ط is disliked, the same change occurring in اِلْطِرَادٌ for اِضْطِرَادٌ, though this change is irregular.

أَضْجَعَ likewise has the same meaning as ضَجَعَ, and so does انضجع, as quasi-passive of the transitive verb اضجع.

A dialectal variant of ضجّعت; like ضَرَّعَت.

he was, or became, weak in his judgment, or opinion—ضُجِعَ فِى رَأْيِهِ

Not a mistranscription for ضَجِعَ, as its ism fāʿil shows.
