بُرْدٌ A kind of garment; (Ṣ;) a kind of striped garment: (M, Ḳ:) accord. to some, of the description termed وَشْىٌ [or variegated]: (M:) or particular kinds thereof are distinguished by such terms as بُرْدُ عَصْبٍ and بُرْدُ وَشْىٍ: (Mṣb:) also, (as a coll. gen. n., TA,) garments of the kind called أَكْسِيَةٌ, [pl. of كِسَآءٌ,] which are wrapped round the body; (Ḳ;) one of which is called بُرْدَةٌ↓: (M, Ḳ:) or, as Lth says, the بُرْد is [a] well-known [garment], of the kind called بُرُودُ العَصْبِ and بُرُودُ الوَشْىِ; (T;) but the بُرْدَةٌ↓ is a garment of the kind called كِسَآءٌ, four-sided, black, and somewhat small, worn by the Arabs of the desert: (T, Ṣ, Mgh,* Mṣb,* TA:) or this latter (the بردة) is a striped garment of the kind called شَمْلَةٌ: (T:) or it is an oblong piece of woollen cloth, fringed: (M:) Sh says, I saw an Arab of the desert wearing a piece of woollen cloth resembling a napkin, wrapped round the body like an apron; and on my saying to him, What dost thou call it? he answered, بُرْدَة: (T:) [the modern بردة, in every case in which I have seen it, I have observed to be an oblong piece of thick woollen cloth, generally brown or of a dark or ashy dust-colour, and either plain, or having stripes so narrow and near together as to appear, at a little distance, of one colour; used both to envelop the person by day and as a night-covering: the بردة of Moḥammad is described as about seven feet and a half in length, and four and a half in width, and in colour either أَخْضَر or أَحْمَر, i. e. of a dark or ashy dust-colour or brown; for such are the significations of these two epithets when applied to a garment of this kind, and in some other cases:] the pl. of بُرْدٌ is أَبْرُدٌ (M, Ḳ) and أَبْرَادٌ [both pls. of pauc.] and بُرُودٌ (Ṣ, M, Ḳ) and بُرَدٌ, (IAạr, T,) or this last is pl. of بُرْدَةٌ, (Ṣ, M,) and بِرَادٌ, like as قِرَاطٌ is pl. of قُرْطٌ, or this, also, is pl. of بُرْدَةٌ, like as بِرَامٌ is pl. of بُرْمَةٌ. (M.)

وَقَعَ بَيْنُهُمَا قَدُّ بُرُودٍ يُمْنَةٍ, (so in copies of the Ḳ, in the TA يُمَنَةٍ,) or بُرُودٍ ثَمِينَةٍ, (so in a copy of the A,) ‡ [There happened between them two the rending of بُرُود of the fabric of El-Yemen, accord. to the reading in the Ḳ, or of costly بُرُود, accord. to the reading in the A,] means they arrived at a great, or severe, state of affairs; (Ḳ;) or is said of two men who have contended together in vehement altercation so that they have rent each other's garments; (A;) [accord. to the reading in the Ḳ,] because يُمَنٌ, [in the CK يُمْن,] which are بُرُود of El-Yemen, are not rent save on account of some great, or severe, thing, or affair. (Ḳ.)

هُمَا فِى بُرْدَةِ↓ أَخْمَاسٍ means † They two do one deed; or act alike; (IAạr, M, Ḳ;) and resemble each other, as though they were in one بُرْدَة: (IAạr, M:) or they two have become near together, and in a state of agreement. (Ḳ in art. خمس, q. v.)

and see also بَرَدَةٌ.

هِىَ لَكَ بَرْدَةَ نَفْسَهَا She is purely thine; (Fr, AʼObeyd, T, Ṣ, M;) syn. خَالِصَةً: (M:) AʼObeyd explains it by خَالِصًا, (T, Ṣ, M,) not in the fem. form, (TA,) on the authority of Fr. (T.)

Also, the former, The middle of the eye. (Ḳ.)

بُرَدَآءُ An ague; i. e. a fever attended by a cold fit, (Ḳ,) or by shivering. (TA.)

بَرْدِيٌّ A well-known kind of plant, (Ṣ, M,* Ḳ,) of which the kind of paper termed قِرْطَاس is made; (TA in art. قرطس, q. v.;) [namely, papyrus; and] of which mats are made; (Mṣb;) [app. meaning rushes in general: but the former is generally meant by it in the present day, and is probably the proper signification: anciently, mats, as well as ropes and sails, &c., were made of the rind of the papyrus; and even small boats were constructed of its stalks bound together; and of such, probably, was the ark in which the infant Moses was exposed: it is a coll. gen. n.:] n. un. بَرْدِيَّةٌ. (M, TA.) Hence, قَطْنُ البَرْدِىّ The cotton of the papyrus, which, resembling wool, is gathered from the stalk, and, mixed with lime, composes a very tenacious kind of cement. (Golius, from Ibn-Maạroof.)

[Also, a rel. n. from the same, meaning Of, or belonging to, or resembling, the plant so called. Hence the saying,] لَهَا سَاقٌ بَرْدِيَّةٌ [She has a shank like a papyrus-stalk]. (A.)

Also A mule appointed [for the conveyance of messengers] in a رِبَاط [or public building for the accommodation of travellers and their beasts, or in a سِكَّة, which is a house or the like specially appropriated to messengers and the beasts that carry them: thus it signifies a postmule: afterwards, it was applied also to a posthorse, and any beast appointed for the conveyance of messengers]: (Mgh:) [this is what is meant by the words in the Ṣ and Ḳ, البَرِيدُ المُرَتَّبُ:] it is a word of Persian origin, (Z in the Fáïk,) arabicized, from بُرِيدَهْ دُمْ, (Z in the Fáïk, and Mgh,) i. e. “docked,” or “having the tail cut off;” for the post-mules (بِغَالُ البَرِيدِ) had their tails cut off in order that they might be known: (Z in the Fáïk:) [or perhaps it is from the Hebrew פֶּרֶד “a mule:”] or it is applied to the beast appointed for the conveyance of messengers (دَابَّةُ البَرِيدِ) because he traverses the space called بَرِيد [defined below: but the reason before given for this appellation is more probable: it is like the Lat. “veredus”]: (T, Mṣb:) pl. بُرُدٌ (Z, Mgh, Mṣb) and بُرْدٌ, which is a contraction of the former, like as رُسْلٌ is of رُسُلٌ. (Z.) You say, حُمِلَ فُلَانٌ عَلَى البَرِيِد [Such a one was borne on the postmule or post-horse]. (Ṣ.) Imra-el-Ḳeys speaks of a بريد of the horses of Barbar. (Ṣ.)

Having been originally used in the sense first explained above, it was afterwards applied to A messenger borne on a post-mule [or post-horse]: (Z in the Fáïk, and Mgh:) or messengers on beasts of the post: (M, Ḳ:) or a messenger that journeys with haste: (A:) or [simply] a messenger: (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ:) pl. as above. (M,* Z.) Hence the saying, الحُمَّى بَرِيدُ المَوْتِ Fever is the messenger of death: (T, Mṣb:) because it gives warning thereof. (T.) Hence also البَرِيدُ applied to The animal called الفُرَانِقُ, (said to be the jackal, but some say otherwise, TA,) because he gives warning before [the approach of] the lion. (T, Ṣ, Ḳ.) And صَاحِبُ البَرِيِد [The master of the messengers that journey on post-mules or post-horses]. (Ṣ.) [And خَيْلٌ البَرِيِد, occurring in many histories, &c., The post-horses, that carry messengers and others.]

Also, having been applied to a messenger on a post-mule [or post-horse], it then became applied to The space, or distance, traversed by the messenger thus called; (Mgh, Mṣb;*) the space, or distance, between each سِكَّة and the سِكَّة next to it; the سكّة being a structure of either of the kinds called بَيْت and قُبَّة, or a رِبَاط [explained above], in which the appointed messengers lodge; (Z in the Fáïk;) the space, or distance, between two stations, or places of alighting; or two parasangs, or leagues; (M, Ḳ;) [six miles;] each parasang, or league, being three miles, and each mile being four thousand cubits: (TA:) or twelve miles; (Ṣ, A, Mṣb, Ḳ;) i. e. four parasangs, or leagues: (Mgh, TA:) [for] the space, or distance, between each station termed سِكَّة and the next to it is either two parasangs or four: (Z in the Fáïk:) the distance of twelve miles is [also] termed سِكَّةُ البَرِيِد: (T:) the pl. is as above. (T, Z.) A journey of four بُرُد, or forty-eight miles, renders it allowable to shorten prayers; which miles are of the Háshimee measure, such as are measured on the road to Mekkeh. (T.)

Also The course, or pace, of a camel along the space thus called: so in the following verse of Muzarrid, in praise of 'Arábeh El-Owsee:

* فَدَتْكَ عَرَابَ اليَوْمَ أُمِّى وَخَالَتِى *

* وَنَاقَتِىَ النَّاجِى إِلَيْكَ بَرِيدُهَا *

[May my mother, and my maternal aunt, and my she-camel that is swift in her course to thee from one station to another, be ransoms for thee, O 'Arábeh, (the name being contracted,) this day!]. (Ṣ.)

بُرَادَةٌ Filings; (M, Mgh, Ḳ;) what falls from iron [&c.] when filed. (Ṣ.)

بَرَّادَةٌ A vessel which cools water: (M, Ḳ:) or a كَوَّازَة [app. meaning either a stand, or a shelf, upon which mugs (كِيزَان, pl. of كُوز,) are placed; erroneously in the Ḳ, كُوَّارَةٌ, and كُوَارَةٌ, as I find it in different copies;] upon which water is cooled: (Lth, T, Ḳ:*) but [Az says,] I know not whether it be a classical or a post-classical word. (T.) Hence the saying, بَاتَتْ كِيزَانُهُمْ عَلَى البَرَّادَةِ Their mugs passed the night upon the برّادة. (A, TA.)

بَارِدٌ (Ṣ, M, Mṣb, Ḳ) Cold; chill; cool; (Ṣ, Mṣb;) applied to water [&c.]; (M, Ḳ;) as alsoبَرْدٌ↓, [originally an inf. n., like عَدْلٌ, used as an epithet,] (M, Ḳ,) andبَرُودٌ↓, (Ṣ, M, Ḳ,) andبُرَادٌ↓; (M, Ḳ;) but the last two are intensive forms [signifying very cold or chill or cool]. (TA.)

‡ Anything loved, beloved, liked, or approved. (TA.) [Hence,] عَيْشٌ بَاردٌ ‡ An easy and a pleasant life, or state of life. (ISk,* T,* M, A, L, Ḳ.)
