1 عَضَدَهُ ذ , aor. عَضُدَ , (S, O, Msb, K,) inf. n. عَضْدٌ, (Msb,) He hit, or hurt, his عَضُد [or upper arm, between the elbow and the shoulder-blade]; (S, O, Msb, K;) i. e., a man's. (Msb.) ― -b2- And, aor. as above, (S, A, &c.,) and so the inf. n., (Msb,) (tropical:) He aided, or assisted, him; (S, A, O, Msb, K;) he was, or became, an عَضُد i. e. aider, or assistant, to him: (Msb:) thus used, it is doubly tropical; for عَضُدٌ primarily [and properly] relates to the arm, then it was metaphorically applied to signify an aider, or assistant, then they formed the verb in this meaning, and it obtained so extensively as to become a حَقِيقَة عُرْفِيَّة [i. e. a word so much used in this tropical sense as to be, in the said sense, conventionally regarded as proper]; therefore it is not mentioned by Z [in the A] as tropical; (TA;) and ↓ عاضدهُ , (K, * TA,) inf. n. مُعَاضَدَةٌ, (S, A, O, TA,) likewise signifies he aided him against another. (S, * K, * TA.) ― -b3- Also, عَضَدَهُ, He (a camel) took him (another camel) by his عَضُد [i. e. arm], and threw him down. (L.) ― -b4- عَضَدَهُ فِى العَضُدِ [He bound it, or attached it, upon the عضد (or upper arm）]; namely, a thong, or the like; (O, K, TA;) such, for instance, as an amulet. (TA.) ― -b5- عَضَدَ الدَّابَّةَ, aor. عَضِدَ , [thus I find it in this instance,] inf. n. عُضُودٌ [in the TA عضد,] He walked by the side [as though by the عَضُد (or arm）] of the beast, (L, Msb,) on the right or left, (Msb,) or sometimes on its right and sometimes on its left, not quitting it. (L.) ― -b6- عَضَدَ الرَّكَائِبَ, (L, K,) aor. عَضُدَ , inf. n. عَضْدٌ, (L,) He came to the camels, or other beasts, used for riding, from the tracts, or parts, surrounding them, and gathered them together.
