” [i. e. And when separation from her appeared, like as appear the cleaving cracks in the surface of the hard and smooth rock]: it may be that ↓ صَدَعَ is syn. with تَصَدَّعَ in some dial. [and that صَوَادِع is pl. of its part. n.]: or this may be an instance of a possessive epithet, meaning having a cleaving. (TA.)
