maxaADN mxAD (assumed tropical:) The pains of parturition; (S, Msb;) as also ↓ mixaADN . (Msb.) -A2- Applied to she-camels, (tropical:) Pregnant: (AZ, As, S, ISd, A, Msb, K, &c.:) used in this sense as an epithet of good omen, whence they augur that their young ones will become agitated in their bellies at the time of parturition: (ISd:) having their young in their bellies: (M, TA:) or such as are called Ei$aAr , that have been ten months pregnant: (Th, K:) but ISd says, I have not found this explanation of mxAD on any authority beside that of Th: (TA:) [see also Eu$araA='u :] it has no proper sing: (S:) a single one is termed xalifapN , (AZ, As, S, A, &c,) which is extr. (K, TA) with respect to rule: (TA:) or maxaADN signifies, or it signifies also, (accord. to different copies of the K,) she-camels in the state in which they are from the time when the stallion is sent among them (ISd, K) until he brays ( Hat~aY yahodira ), or, accord. to another relation, until they are left ( Ht~Y tugodara ), i.e., (ISd,) until he ceases ( Ht~Y yanoqaTiEa , in the copies of the K, erroneously, HtY tnqTE , TA) from covering: (ISd, K:) a pl. (K) having no sing. (ISd, K.) ― -b2- Hence, (S,) Aibonu maxaADK (tropical:) A young male camel, which, (As, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) having completed a year (As, S, Mgh) from the day of its birth, (As,) has entered upon the second year: (As, S, Mgh, Msb, K:) because his mother, (S, IAth, Mgh, K,) from whom he has been separated, (S,) has become adjoined to the maxaAD , (S, IAth, Mgh, K,) or pregnant camels, (IAth, K,) whether she have conceived or not; (S, IAth, * K; *) for they used to make the stallion-camels to cover the females a year after these had brought forth, (IAth, K, *) in order that their young ones might become strong, so that they conceived in the second year: (IAth:) or because its mother has been covered, and has conceived, and become adjoined to the maxaAD , i.e., to the pregnant camels; and this appellation it bears until it has completed the second year; but when it has entered upon the third, it is called Aibonu labuwnK : (Msb:) or a young male camel when his mother has conceived: (K:) or whose mother has become pregnant: or when the she-camels among whom is his mother have become pregnant, though she have not become so: (IAth, K:) the female is called binotu maxaADK ; (IAth, Msb, K;) or Aibonapu maxaADK : (S:) the pl., (S, Msb, K,) of both the male and female appellations, (Msb,) is banaAtu maxaADK , (S, Msb, K,) only; like banaAtu labuwnK and banaAtu A=waY . (S.) Sometimes one adds to it the article Al , (Msb, K,) saying, Aibonu AlmaxaADi : (Msb:) [for] Abn mxAD is indeterminate; and when you desire to make it determinate, you affix the article Al , as above; but this only makes it determinate as a generic appellation.
