àwd.

to make tables; to lay a table

Usage notes

Ìwd. can not only mean a table, but also a laid table; hence the secondary meaning of the verb, which is attested from Late Middle Lemizh. See also àh. ‘make a bed’.

In metonymical use denoting a group of people sitting at a table, this word is negatively connotated: Ìwde. ‘The table laughed [derisively]’.
