 3-lit.

  1. (transitive) to prepare (beds or skins) for sleeping (in some unclear way); to make the bed

Usage notes

[edit]

Attested only twice, both times in the Admonitions of Ipuwer. It is possible that the word is to be identified with ꜣd (to smear (a pot)?), with both of them perhaps meaning ‘to smooth’ or something similar.[1]
