اسدس الرَّجُلُ The man was, or became, one whose camels came to water on the sixth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first. (Ṣ,* Ḳ,* TA.) [See سِدْسٌ.]

سِدْسٌ is the original form of سِتٌّ, (M, Ḳ,) fem. of سِتَّةٌ, which is originally سِدْسَةٌ, (M,) [meaning Six; for] the dim. [of سِتٌّ is سُدَيْسٌ↓, and that] of سِتَّةٌ is سُدَيْسَةٌ↓; and the pl. is أَسْدَاسٌ. (Ṣ in art. ست, q. v.)

Also [The drinking of camels on the sixth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first; as will be seen from what here follows;] the period of the drinking of camels [next] after that called خِمْسٌ: or after six days and five nights: (M, TA:) or their being kept from the water five days, and coming to it on the sixth: (Ṣ:) but Ṣgh says that this is a mistake, and that the correct meaning of the term is, their being kept from the water four days, and coming to it on the fifth; and so it is explained in the [A and] Ḳ: (TA:) or their drinking one day, then being kept from the water four days, then coming to it on the fifth day; so [by the application of the term سِدْسٌ] they include in their reckoning the first day in which the camels drink: (Aboo-Sahl, TA:) or their remaining in the place of pasture four days [after drinking], then coming to the water on the fifth: (TA:) pl. أَسْدَاسٌ. (M, Ṣgh, TA.) You say, وَرَدَتْ إِبْلُهُ سِدْسًا [His camels came to the water on the sixth day, counting the day of the next preceding drinking as the first]. (Ṣ, A, Ḳ.)

Also The tooth that is before that called the بَازِل; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) after that called the رَبَاعِيَة; (M, L, TA;) as alsoسَدِسٌ↓; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) masc. and fem., because the fem. names of teeth are all with ة, except سَدَسٌ and سَدِيسٌ and بَازِلٌ: (Ṣ:) the pl.
