See also 4, last sentence.

اصعد فِى المَكَانِ: see 1.

[Hence,] اصعد فِى الأَرْضِ He went through the land towards a land higher than the other [from which he came]: (A, TA:) taken from the saying of Lth, that اصعد, inf. n. إِصْعَادٌ, signifies He went towards a declivity, or a river, or a valley, higher than the other [from which he came]. (TA.) And اصعد فِى البِلَادِ He went up, or upwards, through the countries, or lands. (AA, Mṣb.) And اصعد مِنْ بَلَدِ كَذَا إِلَى بَلَدِ كَذَا He journeyed [upwards] from such a region, or town, to such another region, or town; from one that was lower to one that was higher. (Mṣb.) [And hence,] اصعد, inf. n. إِصْعَادٌ, He journeyed, or went, towards Nejd, and El-Ḥijáz, and El-Yemen: [or towards a higher region:] and اِنْحَدَرَ signifies “he journeyed, or went, towards El-'Irák, and Syria, and 'Omán:” (ISk, on the authority of 'Omárah:) or the former, he journeyed, or went, towards the Kibleh: and the latter, “he journeyed, or went, towards El-'Irák:” (Aboo-Sakhr, T:) or the former, he came to Mekkeh; (Ḳ;) but this is a defective explanation: (TA:) and مُصْعَدٌ, also, is used as an inf. n. of this verb; and مُنْحَدَرٌ, as an inf. n. of انحدر: (T, TA:) or اصعد, inf. n. إِصْعَادٌ, he commenced a journey, or went forth; as from Mekkeh, and from El-Koofeh to Khurásán, and the like: (Fr:) or he commenced a journey, or the like, in any direction: and انحدر signifies “he returned, from any town or country.” (Ibn-ʼArafeh.) And اصعد فِى الأَرْضِ, (Akh, Ṣ, Ḳ,) or فى البِلَادِ, (Akh accord. to the T,) He went away, and journeyed, through the land, (Akh, Ṣ, Ḳ,) or through the countries, (Akh, T,) in any direction. (L.) And اصعدت السَّفِينَةُ, inf. n. إِصْعَادٌ; (L;) orصعّدت↓; (A;) The ship spread her sail, and was borne along by the wind, (A, L,) upwards [app. meaning up a river or the like]. (L.)

(IB, L.) Akh cites the following words of ʼAbd-Allah Ibn-Hemmám Es-Saloolee,

*أُصَعِّدُ↓ طَوْرًا فِى البِلَادِ وَأُفْرِعُ *

(Ṣ, L,) as meaning I descending, or going down, at one time, through the countries, and [another time] ascending, or going up: this, says IB, is what induced Akh to explain صعّد as he has done; but it presents no proof, because إِفْرَاعٌ has two contr. significations, that of إِصْعَادٌ and that of اِنْحِدَارٌ: and accord. to AZ, by أُصَعِّدُ the poet means I ascending, or going up, to high places; and by أُفْرِعُ, the contrary. (L.)

اصعد also signifies He advanced towards another. (L.)

And He went far; syn. أَبْعَدَ. (Ḥam p. 22.)

And تَنَفَّسَ صُعُدًا: see صُعَدَآءُ. Andمِنْ صُعْدٍ↓ [used by poetic license for من صُعُدٍ], said of a thing falling, i. e. From above; from a higher place. (Ḥam p. 349.)

صَعْدَةٌ A high, or an elevated, piece of land or ground; contr. of هَبْطَةٌ. (Mgh in art. هبط.) And صَعْدَةُ is said to be a proper name for The earth. (Ḥam p.22.)

And A she-ass: (L, Ḳ:) or a long-backed she-ass: (L:) or long [in the back], applied to a she-ass as an epithet, and therefore the pl. is صَعْدَاتٌ, with the ع quiescent. (Ḥam p. 385.) And بَنَاتُ صَعْدَةَ Wild asses: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) said to be so called from صَعْدَةُ meaning as expl. above; and if this be correct, it is like the appellation بَنَاتُ البَرِّ: (Ḥam p. 22:) or as being likened to the women [or rather woman (as will be shown in what follows)] termed صعدة; and in like manner, أَوْلَادُ صَعْدَةَ: (Ḥar p. 471:) the rel. n. [applied to a single wild ass] is صَاعِدِىٌّ↓, (Ṣ, L, Ḳ,) irregularly formed: thus in the saying of Aboo-Dhu-eyb,

* بِالكَشْحِ فَٱشْتَمَلَتْ عَلَيْهِ الأَضْلُعُ *

(Ḥam p. 385.) One says, تَطَاعَنُوا بِالصِّعَادِ i. e. [They thrust, or pierced, one another] with the spears. (A.)

[Hence,] جَارِيَةٌ صَعْدَةٌ ‡ A girl, or young woman, straight in figure, (A, L,) like a spear, or spear-shaft: (L:) pl. جَوَارٍ صَعْدَاتٌ, the latter word with the ع quiescent, (A, L,) because it is an epithet. (L.)
