[of pauc.] of وَلَدٌ, (M, L, Msb, TA,) and of وُلْدٌ, (M, L,) أَوْلَادٌ; (M, L, Msb, K;) and [pl. of pauc. of وَلَدٌ,] وِلْدَةٌ and إِلْدَةٌ: (M, L, K:) and pl. of وَلَدٌ, وُلْدٌ, (S, M, L, Msb, K, *) like as أُسْدٌ is pl. of أَسَدٌ, (S, L, Msb,) in the dial. of the tribe of Keys, (T, Msb,) who make وَلَدٌ singular. (T.) ― -b2- مَنْ دَمَّى عَقِبَيْكِ ↓ وُلْدُكِ, a proverb, (T, S, L; but in the S, عَقِبَيْكَ;) of the Benoo-Asad, (S, L,) Thy son is he who made thy two heels to be smeared with blood; (TA;) i. e., whom thou thyself broughtest forth; (K, TA;) he is thy son really; not he whom thou hast taken from another, and adopted.
