-A2- [Also,] said of a bird, It circled in the air without moving its wings: (Msb:) or, according to As, one says of a dog, دوّى فِى الأَرْضِ [he went round upon the ground]; like as one says of a bird, دَوَّمَ فِىالسَّمَاءِ, meaning “ it circled in its flight, rising: ” he says that التَّدْوِيمُ is not upon the ground, nor التَّدْوِيَةُ in the sky; and he finds fault with the first of the verses of Dhu-r-Rummeh cited in the second paragraph of article دوم: but some say that the two verbs are dialect vars., both meaning he went round about. (S. [See also دَوَّمَ, in two places.])
