جُدِرَ, (A, Ḳ,) inf. n. جَدْرٌ; (TA;) and جَدَرَ, (Lḥ, Ḳ,) aor. ـُ {يَجْدُرُ}, inf. n. جَدْرٌ; (Lḥ, TA;) andجُدِّرَ↓, (Ṣ, A, Ḳ,) which last some disallow, because this form denotes repetition, and the verb signifies the having a disease that befalls but once in a man's life; (MF;) He (a man, Ṣ, or a child, A) had, or became attacked by, جُدَرِىّ [or small-pox]. (Ṣ, A, Ḳ.) [And جَدَرَ الجُدَرِىُّ The small-pox came forth, or broke out; as in the TḲ: for its inf. n.] جَدْرٌ signifies the coming forth, or breaking out, of the جُدَرِىّ. (Ḳ.)

(A.) And مَا أَجْدَرَهُ أَنْ يَفْعَلَ ذٰلِكَ, and أَجْدِرْ بِهِ, How well adapted or disposed, or how apt, meet,, &c., is he for doing that! or how worthy is he to do that! (TA.)
