دَفَئِىٌّ ذ , (T, S, M, K,) also termed دَثَئِىٌّ, (As, IAar, S, K,) but this latter is not of established authority, and is not mentioned in the M nor in the O., (TA in art. دثأ,) The rain that falls after the heat has acquired strength; (M, K in art. دثأ, TA;) when the earth has put (lit. vomited) forth the كَمْأَة [or truffles, which, accord. to Kzw, are found in Nejd (Central Arabia) at the period of the auroral setting of the Tenth Mansion of the Moon, (which happened, about the commencement of the era of the Flight, in that part, on the 11th of February O.
