[of تندؤة] is ثَنَادِهُ, [with ه substituted for ', unless the former be a mistranscription for the latter,] (TA,) and [that of ثندوة is] ثَنَادٍ. (Msb, TA.) The word ثدى is used in relation to men in the Saheeh of Muslim, and ثندؤة in relation to women in the Sunan of Aboo-Dáwood; and many of the lexicologists incline to the opinion that ثدى is common to men and women. (MF in art. ثند.) ― -b2- ثُنْدُؤَةُ الأَنْفِ, occurring in a trad., The tip, or fore part, of the nose. (IAth, TA.)
