From Edward William Lane, An Arabic-English Lexicon (1863–1893), under the root ضجع. Digitised by the Perseus Project (Tufts); Arabic decoded from Perseus's transliteration.

ضَجَعَ , aor. ضَجَعَ , inf. n. ضَجْعٌ and ضُجُوعٌ , [He lay upon his side; or] he laid his side upon the ground; [and simply he lay; and he slept;] as also ↓ اِضْطَجَعَ , (S, Msb, K, TA,) which is also expl. as syn. with نَامَ , [which has the second and third of the meanings mentioned above,] and with اِسْتَلْقَى , [which has the third of those meanings,] (TA,) the ط being substituted for the ت of اِضْتَجَعَ , (Lth, S, Msb,) and ↓ اِضَّجَعَ , (S, Msb, K,) and ↓ اِلْطَجَعَ , (S, L, K, in the CK [erroneously] اطَّجَعَ ,) the ض in اضطجع being changed into ل , which is the letter nearest in sound thereto, because the combination of two such letters as ض and ط is disliked, (S, L,) the same change occurring in اِلْطِرَادٌ for اِضْطِرَادٌ , (Az, TA,) though this change is anomalous; (L;) and ↓ أَضْجَعَ likewise signifies the same as ضَجَعَ ; (Msb;) [and] so does ↓ انضجع , (K, TA,) as quasi-pass. of the trans. verb اضجع . (TA.) ― -b2- [And accord. to Freytag, it occurs in the Deewán of the Hudhalees as signifying He declined from the way.] ― -b3- ضَجَعَ النَّجْمُ means (tropical:) [The star, or asterism, or the Pleiades,] inclined to setting; as also ↓ ضجّع , (K, TA,) inf. n. تَضْجيعٌ . (TA.) And ضَجَعَتِ الشَّمْسُ is a dial. var. of ↓ ضجّعت , (TA,) which means (tropical:) The sun approached the setting; (S, K, TA;) like ضَرَّعَت . (S, TA.) ― -b4- ضَجَعَ فِى أَمْرِهِ (tropical:) He was, or became, weak in his affair; as also ↓ اضجع ; and so ضَجِعَ , like فَرِحَ [in measure], on the authority of IKtt. (TA. [See also 2, and 5, and 6.]) And ضُجِعَ فِى رَأْيِهِ [not a mistranscription for ضَجِعَ , as is shown by its part. n., q. v.,] (tropical:) He was, or became, weak in his judgment, or opinion. (TA.)
