He moved about his tongue; as also تَصْنَصَ; but the ض in the former is not a substitute for the ص in the latter, as some assert it to be: (L, TA:) the verb is used in this sense in speaking of a man; (TA:) and of a serpent; (Ṣ *, A, Ḳ;) inf. n. نَضْنَضَةٌ: (Ṣ, but in one copy نَضِيضَةٌ:) and accord. to Ibn-ʼAbbád, نَضْنَضَةٌ [the inf. n.] signifies the making, or uttering, of a sound: or the sound itself; (صَوْت;) [app. by a motion of the tongue;] of the serpent; and hence, [accord. to some,] the epithet نَضْنَاضٌ, as applied to a serpent: (TA:) or this epithet is from the phrase, (IAạr.) نَصْنَضَ فُلَانًا, (IAạr, Ḳ,) نَضَّضَهُ↓, (so in the CK,) He put such a one in motion, (IAạr,) and he disquieted, disturbed, or unsettled, him; or removed him from his place. (IAạr, Ḳ.) [In one place, in the TA, اسنضّ مِنْهُ شَيْئًا is made to signify the same; but this is doubtless a mistake, arising from an omission in transcription.] You say also, نَضْنَضَ البَعِيرُ ثَفنَاته The camel moved about his ثَفِنَات [q. v.], and made them to be in contact with the ground; or this is [نَصْنَصَ,] with ص.

A man of much property is described as beingأَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ نَاضًّا↓ ‡ [The most abounding of men in gold and silver coin]. (TA.)

[Hence,] نُضَاضَةُ وَلَدِ الرَّجُلِ ‡ The last of the children of the man: (AZ, Ṣ, A, Ḳ:) applied alike to the male and female and to two and more; (Ṣ, Ḳ;) like عِجْزَةٌ and كِبْرَةٌ. (Ṣ.)

[It seems to me not improbable that نَضَائِضُ may in a mistranscription, for نَضَائِضُ, pl. of the inf. n. نَضْنَضَةٌ used as a subst.]
