(AZ, AHn.) ― -b3- Also The filling up a well (K, TA) with earth; and so ↓ دَكْدَكَةٌ. (TA.) You say, دَكَكْتُ الرَّكِىَّ I filled up the wells with earth: (S:) and الرَّكِىَّ ↓ دَكْدَكَ He filled up the wells with earth. (TA.) ― -b4- And دَكَّهُ signifies also He pushed him, or thrust him; like صَكَّهُ and لَكَّهُ. (As, TA.) ― -b5- [Hence,] دَكَّ جَارِيَتَهُ (tropical:) He (a man) distressed his young woman, or female slave, by throwing his weight upon her when desiring to compress her. (AA, TA. [See also رَكَّ.]) And دَكَّ الدَّابَّةَ بِالسَّيْرِ (tropical:) He distressed, or jaded, or fatigued, the beast by journeying. (TA.) And دُكَّ الرَّجُلُ, (S, K,) i. e. دَكَّتْهُ الحُمَّى, (AZ, S,) or دَكَّهُ المَرَضُ, (K,) meaning (tropical:) Fever, or disease, weakened the man: (TA:) or he became sick, or ill.

The mountains became دَكَّاوَات, i. e. hills of mould or clay. (S.)

An even, or a level, place; (K;) [and so ↓ أَدَكُّ, as is shown by an explanation of its fem. in this paragraph:] or land, or ground, broken, and made even: (S:) you say أَرْضٌ دَكٌّ: (Akh, S:) pl. دُكُوكٌ. (S, K.) Hence, in the Kur [vii. 139 and xviii. 98], جَعَلَهُ دَكًّا, (Akh, S, TA,) i. e. [He made it, in the former instance, and shall make it, in the latter instance,] even, or level, (AZ, Az, Ibn-'Arafeh,) without any hill: (Ibn- 'Arafeh: [this addition relating to the former instance:]) or crumbled: (Ksh, * Bd:) 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, (S,) meaning in the former instance a hill rising from the ground like the دَكَّةَ: (Ksh:) or meaning جَعَلَهُ أَرْضًا دَكَّآءَ, (S,) i. e. He made it even, or level, ground; (Ksh, Bd;) because the word جَبَل [to which دكّآء virtually relates] is masc. (S.) ― -b2- Also, [as a subst.,] Even, or level, sand; and so ↓ دَكَّةٌ: pl. [of either, agreeably with analogy,] دِكَاكٌ.
