غُدَّةٌ ذ (IDrd, S, O, L, Msb, K) and ↓ غُدَدَةٌ (S, O, L, K) [A ganglion; i. e.] any hard lump in the tendinous parts; (L, K;) [a lump of] flesh arising from disease, between the skin and the flesh, which may be made to move about: (Msb:) and any small nodous lump (عُقْدَة) in the body (IDrd, O, L, K) of a man, (IDrd, O, L,) surrounded by fat: (IDrd, O, L, K:) pl. غُدَدٌ [properly pl. of غُدَّةٌ, and also a coll. gen. n. of which غُدَدَةٌ is the n. un.]: (S, O, L, Msb, K:) غُدَّةٌ [is applied in the present day to a ganglion: and a bubo: and a wen: and all these may be meant by its being said that it] also signifies a [swelling such as is termed] سِلْعَة, (L, K,) overspread by fat. (L.) ― -b2- And غُدَّةٌ signifies likewise The plague, or pestilence, (طَاعُون,) in camels; (As, S, O, L, K;) as also ↓ غَدَدٌ : (K:) or the same in camels as the طاعون in man: (Msb:) it attacks them in the groins, and seldom do they recover from it: (L:) or it is only in the belly; (K, TA;) and when it extends to the camel's نَحْر [or part where he is stabbed, or stuck, when he is slaughtered], and to his groin, or arm-pit, the epithet دَابِرٌ [so in the TA, but in the O دَارِئٌ, which I believe to be the right reading,] is applied to him: so says IAar: (TA:) or it is also in the fat parts; (Lth, O, L;) and between the flesh and the skin. (L.) ― -b3- And What is between the fat and the hump [of the camel]. (K.) -A2- Another signification of غُدَّةٌ is A part, or portion, of property; (L, K;) as in the saying, عَلَيْهِ غُدَّةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ [He owes a part, or portion, of some property]: (L:) pl. غَدَائِدُ, (L, K,) and, in some of the copies of the K, غِدَادٌ. (TA.) And [these two pls.] غَدَائِدُ and غِدَادٌ signify also Lots, portions, or shares: (L, K:) thus, accord. to Fr, the former of them means in a verse of Lebeed cited and expl. voce عَدِيدَةٌ; but the reading better known is عَدَائِدُ: accord. to Az, غَدَائِدُ in this instance signifies redundances.
