R. Q. 1 خَضْخَضَةٌ خضخض خضخضه خضخضة , (S, O,) inf. n. خَضْخَضَةٌ, (S, O, K,) He agitated it; moved it about; stirred it; shook it; namely, water, (S, O, K,) and the like, (S, O,) and سَوِيق, and the like. (O, K.) You say also, خَضْخَضْتُ دَلْوِى فِى المَآءِ [I agitated, or dashed about, my bucket in the water]. (O, TA.) Sakhr-el-Gheí El-Hudhalee says, describing a water to which he had come for drink, “ فَخَضْخَضْتُ ضُفْنِىَ فِى جَمِّهِ
خِيَاضَ المُدَابِرِ قِدْحًا عَطُوفَا
” (O, TA,) i. e. [And I dashed about my leathern bucket in the main body thereof,] as he who is overcome in the game of el-meysir introduces among the other arrows a borrowed arrow [that comes forth winning], in the luck of which he has confidence. (TA in art. خوض.) This verb, though mentioned here, is [said to be] from خَاضَ, aor. يَخُوضُ; not from خَضَّ; therefore the poet here uses خَيِاض for its inf. n. (O, TA.) You also say, جَآءَهُ بِالخَنْجَرِ فَخَضْخَضَ بِهِ بَطْنَهُ [He came to him with the dagger, and stirred about with it his belly]. (TA.) ― -b2- [Hence a meaning of the inf. n. explained in the first paragraph of art. جلد.]
