(Sh, TA.) [See حِدْجٌ.] Accord. to J, حَدَجَ also signifies He bound loads, or burdens, and divided them into camel-loads: (TA:) but this is a meaning that was unknown to the Arabs. (Az, TA.) J cites as an ex. the words of ElAashà, أَلِلْبَيْنِ تُحْدَجُ أَحْمَالُهَا [Is it for separation that her loads are bound &c.?]: but he adds that, accord. to one reading, the poet said أَجْمَالُهَا: and this [SM says] is the right reading. (TA.) b2:  [Hence, حَدَجَ is used to signify (tropical:)  He betook himself to warring for the sake of the religion.] 'Omar is related to have said, حِجَّةٌ هٰهُنَا ثُمَّ احْدِجْ هٰهُنَا حَتَّى تَفْنَى, meaning Perform one pilgrimage, then (tropical:)  betake thyself to warring for the sake of the religion until thou become old and weak, or die; احدج literally signifying bind the حِدَاجَة upon the camel.

(TA.) b4: Also حَدَجَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. حُدُوجٌ, (assumed tropical:)  He (a horse) looked at the figure of a man, or the like, seen from a distance, or heard a sound, and raised his ears, and directed his eyes, towards it.
