a contraction of سَيِّدٌ, q. v. in art. سود.

A wolf: (S, M, A, K: mentioned in the K in art. سود; and in the S, at the close of that art.:) accord. to Sb, its medial radical letter is ى; its dim. being ↓ سُيَيْدٌ: not like رِيحٌ [of which the dim. is رُوَيْحَةٌ], nor like دِيمَةٌ: (M:) and ↓ سِيدَانَةٌ signifies the same: (K:) or so ↓ سِيدَانٌ; (M;) which is the pl. (S, M, A) also: (M:) and ↓ سِيدَانَةٌ signifies a she-wolf; (M, A, and Ham p. 274;) [and] so ↓ سِيدَةٌ; (Ks, S;) or this is not allowable. (Ham ubi suprà.) One says سِيدُ رَمْلٍ [A wolf of sands; i. e., that frequents the sands; meaning a savage wolf]. (S.) Hence, ↓ اِمْرَأَةٌ سِيدَانَةٌ (tropical:) A bold woman, (M, A,) like the she-wolf. (A.) ― -b2- And A lion (S, M, K) is sometimes thus called, (S,) in the dial. of Hudheyl. (M.) The former is the primary signification accord. to J and others; though the contr. seems to be indicated in the K. (TA.)
