(MA, KL.) [Accord. to Golius, followed in this case by Freytag, ↓ تداوم signifies Perennitate donavit; a signification app. given by Golius as on the authority of the KL; but not in my copy of that work.] ― -b2- ادام القِدْرَ: see 2, last sentence. ― -b3- ادام الدَّلْوَ (assumed tropical:) He filled the bucket. (K, TA.) ― -b4- الإِِدَامَةٌ also signifies تَنْقِيرُ السَّهْمِ عَلَى الإِِبْهَامِ [i. e. The trying the sonorific quality of the arrow by turning it round upon the thumb: or, as explained in this art. in the TK, the making the arrow to produce a sharp sound upon the thumb: or rather this or the former is the meaning of إِِدَامَةُ السَّهْمِ; for, as is said in the TK, ادام السَّهْمَ signifies نقره على الابهام (i. e. نقّرهُ）]. (T, K.) -A2- ادامت السَّمَآءُ: see 1, in the latter half of the paragraph, in two places. ― -b2- أُدِيمَ بِهِ: see 1, last sentence but one.
