aor. ـُ
inf. n. طَمٌّ, (
TA,) He took somewhat from [the hair of] his head; غضَّ مِنْهُ. (
K. [So in my

طِمٌّ The sea: (
S,
K,
TA:) said to be so called because of its overwhelming what is in it (لِأَنَّهُ طَمَّ عَلَى مَا فِيهِ): but in this sense the word is said to be ↓ طَمٌّ, and to be pronounced with kesr for the purpose of assimilating it to رِمٌّ. (
TA.) One says, جَآءَ بِالطِّمِّ وَالرِّمِّ, meaning He brought much wealth: (
S,
TA:) or the meaning in this instance is الامر الكثير [
app. a mistranscription for الأَمْر الكَبِير i. e. that which was a great event]: so says
As: or much of everything: or much and little: thus
accord. to Aboo-
Tálib: or what was moist and what was dry: or the leaves of trees, and what had fallen off from them. (
TA. [See more
voce رِم: and see also what here follows.])

K, *
TA: [see also طَمُومٌ:]) called طِمٌّ because of. his light and quick, or easy, running (لِطَمِيمِ عَدْوِهِ); or as being likened to the sea, as a horse is termed بَحْرٌ and سَكْبٌ and غَرْبٌ. (
TA.)
b7: And A large ذَكَر: (
K:) because its head is مَطْمُوم [as though this
epithet meant “ bare ”]. (
TA.)
b8: الطِّمُّ is also said in the
K to signify الكَيِّسُ; but [
SM says] I think that this is a mistranscription for الطَّمُّ meaning الكَبْسُ [see طَمَّ الرَّكِيَّةَ, in the first paragraph]. (
TA.) طُمَّةٌ A company, or congregated body, of men: and the middle of them: one says, لَقِيتُهُ فى طُمَّةِ القَوْمِ [I met him, or found him, in the company of people, or in the midst of the people]. (

TA.)
b4: And A portion (
K,
TA) of herbage, mostly (
TA) of what is dry, or dried up. (
K,
TA.) طَمِمٌ Hardy, strong, or sturdy: occurring thus, without idghám, in a verse of 'Adee Ibn-Zeyd; applied to a beast such as is termed قَارِحٌ. (
TA.) فَرَسٌ طَمُومٌ A swift horse. (
TA. [See also طِمٌّ.]) طَمِيمٌ: see طِمٌّ.
b2: Also A medley of men, or people: and a multitude thereof. (
TA.) طَامٌّ [part.
n. of 1]: see طِمٌّ:

K, and
Har p. 127:) or simply a calamity. (
TA.) It is said in a
trad. of Aboo-Bekr En-Nessábeh, مَا مِنْ طَامَّةٍ إِلَّا وَفَوْقَهَا طَامَّةٌ (

K) and ↓ طُمَاطِمٌ (
TA) A man having a barbarousness, or vitiousness, or an impotence, or impediment, in his speech, or utterance, not speaking clearly, or correctly: (
S,
K,
TA:) and Aboo-Turáb explains [the
pl. of the first] طَمَاطِمُ as meaning foreigners (عَجَم). (
TA.) Hence the saying of the poet, (
S,) 'Antarah, (
TA,) تَأْوِى لَهُ قُلُصُ النَّعَامِ كَمَا أَوَتْ خِرَقٌ يَمَانِيَّةٌ لِأَعْجَمَ طِمْطِمِ (
S,
TA;) respecting which
Fr relates his having heard El-Mufaddal say that one of the most learned of men explained to him الخِرَقُ اليَمَانِيَّةُ as meaning the clouds [
app. likened to rags of cloth of El-Yemen], and الأَعْجَمُ الطِمْطِمُ as meaning the sound of thunder: (
TA:) or the latter hemistich is thus: حِزَقٌ يَمَانِيَّةٌ لِأَعْجَمَ طِمْطِمِ and the verse means, To whom (referring to a male ostrich) repair the young ostriches, like as herds of camels of El-Yemen repair to one who is impotent, and indistinct, or incorrect, in speech: he likens the male ostrich, in respect of blackness, and want of speech, to an Abyssinian pastor impotent, and indistinct, or incorrect, in speech. (
EM p. 231.)
b2: طِمْطِمٌ signifies also A sort of sheep, haring small ears, and أَغْبَاب [or what resemble dewlaps], like the اغباب of oxen: they are in the region of El-Yemen. (
IDrd,
TA.) طَمْطَمَةٌ A barbarousness, or vitiousness, or an impotence, or impediment, in speech, or utterance, so that the speech is not clear, or correct. (
TA. [See
R.
Q. 1, of which it is the
inf. n.]) طِمْطِمِىٌّ: see طِمْطِمٌ.
طُمْطُمَانِىٌّ: see طِمْطِمٌ.
طُمْطُمَانِيَّةُ حِمْيَرَ The disapproved phraseology [or pronunciation] of the dialect of Himyer, (
K,
TA,) resembling the speech of the foreigners: thus
expl. by
Mbr and Eth-Tha'álibee and others: or, as some say, their change of ل into م [in اَمْ for اَلْ; of which see several exs.
voce أَمْ]. (
TA.) طَمْطَامٌ The middle of the sea. (
K,
TA.)

أَذًى أَطَمُّ Vehement, or severe, annoyance, molestation, harm, or hurt: in the
TA carelessly written اذا اطم; and there said to be from طَمَّتِ الفِتْنَةُ,
q. v. See also an
ex. in the
Ham p. 363; where أَطَمْ occurs at the end of a verse for أَطَمَّ used in a like sense; i. e. as an
epithet, not as a verb.]
أَطَامِيمُ is said in the
K to signify The legs of a beast: but
AA says, respecting the phrase مُسْتَعِدَّاتٌ أَطَامِيمُ in a verse of Ibn-Mukbil describing a she-camel, that the former of these words is used as meaning legs, and اطاميم means brisk, active, or quick: and by another, or others, this latter word is said to mean تَطِمُّ فِى السَّيْرِ, i. e. that are quick in pace. (
TA.) شَعَرٌ مَطْمُومٌ means مَعْقُوصٌ [i. e. Hair plaited: or twisted: &c.]. (
S,
TA.)
b2: And رَأْسٌ مَطْمُومٌ A head of which all the hair is cut off. (
K * and
TA in art. زق.) And مَطْمُومُ الرَّأْسِ A man having all the hair of his head cut off. (
