[of pauc.] of وَلَدٌ, (M, L, Mṣb, TA,) and of وُلْدٌ, (M, L,) أَوْلَادٌ; (M, L, Mṣb, Ḳ;) and [pl. of pauc. of وَلَدٌ,] وِلْدَةٌ and إِلْدَةٌ: (M, L, Ḳ:) and pl. of وَلَدٌ, وُلْدٌ, (Ṣ, M, L, Mṣb, Ḳ,*) like as أُسْدٌ is pl. of أَسَدٌ, (Ṣ, L, Mṣb,) in the dial. of the tribe of Keys, (T, Mṣb,) who make وَلَدٌ singular. (T.)

وُلْدُكِ↓ مَنْ دَمَّى عَقِبَيْكِ, a proverb, (T, Ṣ, L; but in the Ṣ, عَقِبَيْكَ;) of the Benoo-Asad, (Ṣ, L,) Thy son is he who made thy two heels to be smeared with blood; (TA;) i. e., whom thou thyself broughtest forth; (Ḳ, TA;) he is thy son really; not he whom thou hast taken from another, and adopted. (TA.)

مَا أَدْرِى أَىُّ وَلَدِ الرَّجُل هُوَ I know not what man he is. (Ṣ, Ḳ.)

لِدَةٌ, in which the ة is a substitute for the و that is elided from the beginning, for it is from الوِلَادَةُ, (Ṣ, L,) or, accord. to some, it is from لَدى, q. v., (TA,) applied to a male and to a female, (TA, voce تِرْبٌ,) i. q. تِرْبٌ; (Ṣ, L, Ḳ;) meaning One born at the same time with another; coëtanean, or a contemporary in birth (TA) of a man: (Ṣ, L:) dual لِدَانِ; (Ṣ, L;) [but لِدَةٌ occurs in a dual sense in the Jm and O and Ḳ, voce صَوْغٌ, q. v.;] pl. لِدَاتٌ and لِدُونَ: (Ṣ, L, Ḳ:) AḤei and other expositors of the Tesheel say, that words like لدة have the latter form of pl. when they become proper names. (TA.) The dim. [of the pl.] is وُلَيْدَاتٌ and وُلَيْدُونَ, (Ḳ,) because the formation of a dim. restores a word to its original form; (TA;) not لُدَيَّاتٌ and لُدَيُّونَ, as some of the Arabs erroneously make it: (Ḳ:) but this which F pronounces an error is accordant to the authority of the leading writers on inflexion, who say that by regarding the original form, and restoring it thereto, the word is made to depart from the meaning intended by it; for if its dim. were made وُلَيْدٌ, there would be no difference between it and the dim. of وَلَدٌ. (TA.) See also art. لدى.

(Ṣ, L.)

One also says, فِى الأَرْضِ عُشْبٌ لَا يُنَادَى وَلِيدُهُ [In the land is fresh herbage respecting which the servant-boy, or slave, will not be called out to]; because it matters not in what part of such land the beasts are; the whole abounding with herbage: and جَاؤُوا بِطَعَامٍ لَا يُنَادَى وَلِيدُهُ [They brought food respecting which the servant-boy, or slave, would not be called out to]; meaning, that one would not care what injury he might do to it, nor when he ate of it.

(L, Ḳ.) [It is difficult to mark the exact line of distinction between the Islámees and the Muwelleds, so as always to be certain to which of these two classes a poet belongs. The latter are those born, not merely since the first corruption of the Arabic language, which happened in, or before, the age of Moḥammad, (see Mz, 44th نوع,) but since the extensive corruption which happened after the Arabs had spread themselves, by their conquests, among foreigners, in consequence of which their language became simplified. This change took place in the latter half of the first century of the Flight. Hence the poetry of the Muwelleds in not cited as authoritative in lexicology or grammar, or as to the metres of verse, or rhymes. (See شَاهِدٌ.)] Ibn-Rasheek mentions, as the most famous of the Muwelleds, El-Ḥasan (surnamed Aboo-Nuwás) Ḥabeeb, El-Bohturee, Ibn-Er-Roomee, Ibn-El-Moatezz, and El-Mutanebbee: [the first of whom died in the year of the Flight 195, or -6, or -8]. Aboo-ʼAmr Ibn-El-ʼAlà [who died in the year of the Flight 154, or -9,] termed El-Farezdaḳ and Jereer Muwelleds, in comparison with the Pagan poets and the Mukhadrams, though others call them Islámees. (Mz, 49th نوع.)

كَلَامٌ مُوَلَّدٌ ‡ [Post-classical,] or innovated, or modern, or modernized, language; (L;) language which is not of the original dialect of the Arabs; (A;) language which is not genuine Arabic. (Mṣb.) And simply مُوَلَّدٌ ‡ [A post-classical phrase or word;] a modernism; an innovated, or a modern, or modernized, phrase or word; a phrase or word innovated by any of the Muwelleds, whose phrases or words are not cited as authoritative [in lexicology, or grammar, or as to the metres of verse, or rhymes: see above]: the difference between it and the مَصْنُوع is, that the latter is given by its author as chaste (فصيح) Arabic; whereas this is the contrary [i. e., confessedly innovated].
