On p.189 of Hans Wehr dictionary, I just discovered iHdaudaba (Measure XII of H-d-b, in iCauKKaQa pattern) means:
- to be convex, to be bowed upward, be bent outward, to have a hump, be humpbacked, to be humped (back).
It seems to be related on this page somehow to Measure V. My native Arabic-speaking spouse confirms that she's heard of this word before, but she didn't know it was Measure XII -- she just thought it was a highly irregular verb. More on this measure later when we get into Classical Arabic.
Also, on p.780, iRhdaudana means to grow long and luxuriantly (hair). I'm told this is currently used to describe people with hairy bodies.
