3 مُدَاعَاةٌ دعيميص signifies (tropical:) The proposing an enigma or enigmas to a person; or the contending with another in doing so; syn. مُحَاجَاةٌ. (S, K, TA.) You say, دَاعَيْتُهُ (tropical:) I proposed to him an enigma or enigmas; &c. (TA.) A poet says, “ أُدَاعِيكَ مَا مُسْتَصْحَبَاتٌ مَعَ السُّرَى
حِسَانٌ وَمَا آثَارُهَا بِحِسَانِ
” [(assumed tropical:) I propose to thee an enigma: What are things that are taken as companions in night-journeying, good, and the effects whereof are not good?]: meaning swords. (S.) ― -b2- And The asking a thing of one much, so as to weary; as also مُحَاجَاةٌ. (K.) ― -b3- دَاعَيْنَا الحَائِطَ عَلَيْهِمْ (tropical:) We pulled down, or demolished, the wall upon them, from the sides [or foundations] thereof. (K, * TA.) ― -b4- [Golius assigns other significations to دَاعَى, for which I find no authority: namely, “ Convocavit ad Deum propheta, præco sacer, ” followed by an accus.: and “ Contendit contra alium: Provocavit: pecul. rem vindicans sibi vel arrogans. ”]
