And they shall be beaten together with one beating, and the whole shall become fine dust: or they shall both be spread with one spreading, so as to become an even ground. (Bḍ.) [For] دَكَّ الأَرْضَ, (TA,) inf. n. as above, (Ḳ, TA,) means He made even the elevations and depressions of the earth, or ground.

(AZ, AḤn.)

[See also رَكَّ.]) And دَكَّ الدَّابَّةَ بِالسَّيْرِ ‡ He distressed, or jaded, or fatigued, the beast by journeying. (TA.) And دُكَّ الرَّجُلُ, (Ṣ, Ḳ,) i. e. دَكَّتْهُ الحُمَّى, (AZ, Ṣ,) or دَكَّهُ المَرَضُ, (Ḳ,) meaning ‡ Fever, or disease, weakened the man: (TA:) or he became sick, or ill. (Ḳ.)

One says of the stallion-camel when he covers, يُدَكْدِكُ النَّاقَةَ [app. meaning He distresses the she-camel by his weight: see دَكَّ الجَارِيَتَهُ, above]. (Ibn-ʼAbbád, TA.)

تَدَكْدَكَثِ الجِبَالُ The mountains became دَكَّاوَات, i. e. hills of mould or clay. (Ṣ.)

دَكٌّ An even, or a level, place; (Ḳ;) [and soأَدَكُّ↓, as is shown by an explanation of its fem. in this paragraph:] or land, or ground, broken, and made even: (Ṣ:) you say أَرْضٌ دَكٌّ: (Akh, Ṣ:) pl. دُكُوكٌ. (Ṣ, Ḳ.) Hence, in the Ḳur [vii. 139 and xviii. 98], جَعَلَهُ دَكًّا, (Akh, Ṣ, TA,) i. e. [He made it, in the former instance, and shall make it, in the latter instance,] even, or level, (AZ, Az, Ibn-ʼArafeh,) without any hill: (Ibn-ʼArafeh: [this addition relating to the former instance:]) or crumbled: (Ksh,* Bḍ:) or, accord. to Akh, دَكًّا may be here an inf. n.; as though the meaning were دَكَّهُ دَكًّا↓: [see 1:] or it may be elliptical, meaning جَعَلَهُ ذَا دَكٍّ: another reading is جَعَلَهُ دَكَّآءَ↓, (Ṣ,) meaning in the former instance a hill rising from the ground like the دَكَّةَ: (Ksh:) or meaning جَعَلَهُ أَرْضًا دَكَّآءَ, (Ṣ,) i. e. He made it even, or level, ground; (Ksh, Bḍ;) because the word جَبَل [to which دكّآء virtually relates] is masc. (Ṣ.)

Also, [as a subst.,] Even, or level, sand; and soدَكَّةٌ↓: pl. [of either, agreeably with analogy,] دِكَاكٌ. (Ḳ.)

And A [mound, or hill, of dust or earth, such as is called] تَلّ: (Ḳ:) or the like of a تَلّ: (L:) in some of the copies of the Ḳ, التكّ is erroneously put for التّل. (TA.)

دُكٌّ A low mountain: (Ṣ, Ḳ:) or an elevated, or overlooking, hill of mould, or clay, in which is somewhat of ruggedness: (Aṣ, TA:) pl. دِكَكَةٌ; (Aṣ, Ṣ, Ḳ;) and دِكَكٌ [app. another, though irregular, pl. of the same,] is said to signify قِيرَان [i. e. small isolated mountains, or knolls of mountains,, &c., (see قَارَةٌ,)] breaking, or crumbling, down: or disintegrated [hills, or mountains, such as are called] هِضَاب. (TA.)

دَكَّةٌ A certain thing, (Ṣ,) [i. e.] an elevated place, (Mṣb,) a flat-topped structure, (Ḳ,) upon which one sits; (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ;) i. q. مَسْطَبَةٌ [a kind of wide bench, of stone or brick, &c., generally built against a wall]: (Mṣb:) pronounced by the vulgar دِكَّةٌ↓ [and commonly applied by them to a long seat of wood]: (TA:) andدُكَّانٌ↓ signifies the same; (Ṣ, Mṣb, Ḳ;) but accord. to some, this belongs to art. دكن [q. v.]: (Ṣ, Mṣb, TA:) the pl. of the former is دِكَكٌ, like as the pl. of قَصْعَةٌ is قِصَعٌ: (Mṣb:) and the pl. ofدُكَّانٌ↓ is دَكَاكِينُ. (TA.) [For another modern application, see مَحْفِلٌ.]

(TA.)

دَكْدَاكٌ (Aṣ, Ṣ, Ḳ) andدَكْدَكٌ↓ andدِكْدِكٌ↓ (Ḳ) Sand that is compact, and cleaving to the ground, (Aṣ, Ṣ, Ḳ,) not elevated, (Ṣ,) or not much elevated: (Aṣ, TA:) or sand containing dust or earth, compacted together: (AḤn, TA:) or sand pressed, and even, or level: or land in which is ruggedness: (Ḳ:) or a low, or depressed, and even, or level, tract of land: (TA:) n. un. of the first [and app. of each of the others] with ة {دَكْدَاكَةٌ}: (ISh, T in art. ربو:) pl. دَكَادِيكُ and دَكَادِكُ.
