حدث حدج حدر

(Sh, TA.) [See حِدْجٌ.] Accord. to J, حَدَجَ also signifies He bound loads, or burdens, and divided them into camel-loads: (TA:) but this is a meaning that was unknown to the Arabs. (Az, TA.)

* أَلِلْبَيْنِ تُحْدَجُ أَحْمَالُهَا *

[Is it for separation that her loads are bound, &c.?]: but he adds that, accord. to one reading, the poet said أَجْمَالُهَا: and this [SM says] is the right reading. (TA.)
