And بَضَّتِ الرَّكِيَّةُ, and بَضَّتْ بِمَائِهَا, The well had, or yielded, little water; or its water became little. (TA.) It is said in a trad. respecting Tabook, وَالعَيْنُ تَبِضُّ بِشَىْءٍ مِنَ المَآءِ [The source, or spring, yielding scantily somewhat of water]. (TA.) And you say, بَضَّتِ العَيْنُ, aor. as above, inf. n. بَضٌّ and بَضِيضٌ, The eye shed tears. (TA.)

It is said in a trad., مَا تَبِضُّ بِبَلَالٍ Having no milk dropping from it, or her. (TA.)
