(ثَمَأَ) الثَّاءُ وَالْمِيمُ وَالْهَمْزَةُ كَلِمَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ لَيْسَتْ أَصْلًا، بَلْ هِيَ فَرْعٌ لِمَا قَبْلَهَا. ثَمَأَ لِحْيَتَهُ صَبَغَهَا. وَالْهَمْزَةُ كَأَنَّهَا مُبْدَلَةٌ مِنْ غَيْنٍ. وَيُقَالُ ثَمَأْتُ الْكَمْأَةَ فِي السَّمْنِ طَرَحْتُهَا. وَهَذَا فِيهِ بَعْضُ مَا فِيهِ. فَإِنْ كَانَ صَحِيحًا فَهُوَ مِنَ الْبَابِ، لِأَنَّ الْكَمْأَةَ كَأَنَّهَا صُبِغَتْ بِالسَّمْنِ.
