[رَدَنَتْ, aor. app. , but accord. to Freytag , inf. n. رَدْنٌ, She (a woman) spun thread with the مِرْدَن: see رَدَنٌ:] الرَّدْنُ and الغَزْلُ are nearly the same [in meaning]. (Ham p. 218. [Hence مَرْدُونٌ applied to spun thread.]) ― -b2- [And app. She wove a garment, or piece of cloth, with spun thread such as is termed مَرْدُونٌ, or رَدَنٌ: whence مَرْدُونٌ applied to such a garment, or piece of cloth.] ― -b3- The vulgar say of him who is drowsing, drowsy, or heavy with sleep, عَيْنُهُ تردنُ وَتَغْزِلُ [perhaps تَرْدِنُ, to assimilate it to تَغْزِلُ, app. meaning (assumed tropical:) His eye blinks, twinkles, or moves its lids to and for; like the hand that spins thread in two different directions, or that throws the shuttle to and fro]. (Ham ubi suprà.) ― -b4- And رَدَنْتُ المَتَاعَ, (S,) aor. , (JM, PS,) inf. n. رَدْنٌ, (S, K,) I put the goods, household-goods, or commodities, one upon another; or put them, or set them, together, in regular order, or piled up. (S, K.) -A2- رَدْنٌ also signifies The making, or causing, to smoke. (K.) You say, رَدَنَ النَّارَ, aor. , inf. n. رَدْنٌ, He made, or caused, the fire to smoke. (TK.) -A3- رَدِنَ جِلْدُهُ, (S, K, *) aor. , inf. n. رَدَنٌ, (S,) His skin became contracted, shrunk, or wrinkled. (S, K. *)

(S, M, K. [In the TA is added, and اردنة; as though another pl. were أَرْدِنَةٌ: but I think that this is a mistake, originating in a copy of the M; for, immediately after أَرْدَانٌ, in the M, is added, وَأَرْدَنَهُ جَعَلَ لَهُ أَرْدَانًا; and I suspect that in some copy thereof, واردنه has been inadvertently written twice.]) You say قَمِيصٌ وَاسِعُ الرُّدْنِ [A shirt wide in the ردن]. (S.) ― -b2- [Hence,] one says, هُوَ دَنِسُ الأَرْدَانِ (tropical:) [meaning He is foul in character, conduct, or the like; for it is tropical]. (A in art. دنس.
