(Ḳ.)

ادجن also signifies It (a day) became one of much rain; and soاِدْجَوْجَنَ↓: (Ḳ:) or the latter has a more intensive meaning, i. e. it became cloudy with mist or vapour, and dark [with rain]; and [simply] it became dark, or obscure. (TA. [See also 1, first sentence.])

[or rather coll. gen. n.] is دُجْنٌ↓; but in the Ṣ it is said that its pl. is دُجَنٌ, i. e. like صُرَدٌ, and دُجُنَاتٌ and دُجَنَاتٌ: (TA: [but in one copy of the Ṣ, I find دُجْنٌ and دُجْنَاتٌ; and in another, دُجَنٌ and دُجُنَاتٌ:]) andدُجُنٌّ↓ is syn. with دَجْنٌ↓ [q. v.]: (Ḳ, TA: [in the CK, الدُّجُنُ is erroneously put for الدُّجُنُّ; and الدَّجْنُ, which should immediately follow it, is omitted:]) the pl. of دُجُنَّةٌ is دُجُنَّاتٌ.
