(TA.) [See also طَمَى.] And طَمَّ الوَادِى means [طَمَّ سَيْلُ الوَادِى i. e. The torrent of the valley or water-course] rose high, or to a high pitch, and predominated: whence the prov., جَرَى الوَادِى فَطَمَّ عَلَى القَرِىِّ; in explanation of which Meyd says, i. e., [The torrent of the valley or water-course (سَيْلُ الوَادِى) flowed, (so in the Provs. of Meyd,)] and filled up, or choked up, meaning destroyed by filling up, or choking up, the channel by which the water ran into the meadow: and he says that the prov. is applied to the case in which evil exceeds the ordinary limit: (Har p. 127:) [or, accord. to Z, it means a man's overcoming his adversary: (Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 278:) but it should be observed that طَمَّ in this sense is trans. without a prep.:] one says of a torrent, (S, Meyd, and Har ubi suprà,) طَمَّ الرَّكِيَّةَ, (S, Meyd, K, Har,) aor. ـُ and طَمِّ, (K, TA,) the latter on the authority of IAar, inf. n. طَمٌّ, (TA,) It filled up, or choked up, the well, syn. دَفَنَهَا, (S, Meyd, K, Har,) or كَبَسَهَا, (IAar, TA,) and made it even or level (سَوَّاهَا) [with the ground around it]: (S, K:) and طَمَّ الشَّىْءَ بِالتُّرَابِ, inf. n. طَمٌّ, He covered over the thing with earth, or dust; syn. كَبَسَهُ: (TA:) and طَمَّ الإِنَآءَ, (K, TA,) inf. n. طَمٌّ, (TA,) He filled the vessel (K, TA) so that the contents overflowed its edges: (TA:) and طَمَّ البِئْرَ وَغَيْرَهَا بِالتُّرَابِ, aor. ـُ inf. n. طَمٌّ, He filled the well &c. with earth, or dust, so that it became even with the ground: (Mgh, * Msb:) and طَمَّهَا التُّرَابُ The earth, or dust, so filled it. (Msb.) b2: [Hence, i. e. from طَمَّ الوَادِى

(Har p. 127.) And أَمْرٌ يطمّ ولا يتمّ [app. يَطِمُّ وَلَا يَتِمُّ, agreeably with analogy, in order to assimilate the former verb with the latter, as is often done; meaning (assumed tropical:) An affair that is great, or formidable, and that will not become accomplished]. (TA.) And طَمَّتِ الفِتْنَةُ (assumed tropical:) The sedition, or conflict and faction, or the like, was, or became, vehement, or severe. (TA.) And دَاهِيَةٌ تطمُّ عَلَى

[So in my MS. copy: in the CK and TA, erroneously, عَضَّ, with the unpointed ع; and thus in the TK, in which, however, the phrase is well expl., on the authority of the A, as meaning he shaved a portion of his head: see also the pass. part. n.]) And طَمَّ شَعَرَهُ, (S, K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. طَمٌّ, (TA,) He cut his hair; (S, K, TA;) and he cut it off entirely.

R. Q. 1 طَمْطَمَ He swam in the midst of the sea. (IAar, K.) b2: And It (the sea) became full. (TA.) A2: He had a barbarousness, or vitiousness, or an impotence, or impediment, in his speech, or utterance, not speaking clearly, or correctly. (TA.) طَمٌّ [as an inf. n.: see 1. b2: As a subst.,] see the next paragraph.

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.]) b2: And Water: (K, TA:) or much water; as also ↓ طَامٌّ/ [or مَآءٌ طَامٌّ]: (TA:) or the rubbish and scum, and the like, that is upon its surface; or that is driven along by it: (K, * TA:) and thus expl. as used in the saying above-mentioned. (TA.) b3: And A large number: (K:) and this also is said to be meant in the phrase above. (TA.) b4: And A wonderful thing; syn. عَجَبٌ and عَجِيبٌ [which here, as in many other instances, evidently signify the same]: (K:) and this too is said to be meant in the phrase above. (TA.) b5: And A male ostrich: (K:) because of the lightness of his pace. (TA.) b6: And A courser, or swift horse; as also ↓ طَمِيمٌ: (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: b2: and see the paragraph here following.

طَامَّةٌ A calamity that predominates over others: (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 (S, * TA) i. e. There is no calamity but above it is a calamity. (TA.) b2: And A great, or formidable, thing; as also ↓ طَامٌّ. (TA.) b3: And A cry, or vehement cry, that overcomes everything. (TA.) b4: And الطَّامَّةُ signifies The resurrection: (S, Msb, K:) so called because it surpasses, or predominates over, everything: (S, * Msb, * TA:) and also called الطَّامَّةُ الكُبْرَى. (Har p. 346.) طِمْطِمٌ and ↓ طُمْطُمَانِىٌّ (S, K) and ↓ طِمْطِمِىٌّ (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.) b2: And hence, (tropical:) Much fire: or the midst of fire: or the main part thereof: occurring in a trad. of Aboo-Tálib. (TA.) طُمَاطِمٌ: see طِمْطِمٌ.

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. (TA in that art.)

ضيع

1 ضَاعَ, aor. ـِ inf. n. ضَيَاعٌ and ضَيْعَةٌ (S, Mgh, O, Msb, K) and ضَيْعٌ and ضِيعٌ, (K,) It (a thing, S, Mgh, O, Msb) perished, came to nought, passed away, or became lost. (S, O, Msb, K.) It is said in a trad. of Saad, إِنِّى أَخَافُ عَلَى

الأَعْنَابِ الضَّيْعُةَ i. e. [Verily I fear, for the grapes,] their [lit. the] perishing, or becoming lost. (TA.) b2: And ضاع, (K, TA,) inf. n. ضَيَاعٌ and ضَيْعَةٌ, (TA,) It (a thing) was left; left, or let, alone; or neglected. (K, TA.) Hence, ضاعت الإِبِلُ, and ضاع العِيَالُ, The camels, and the family, or household, were left untended, and unminded; and were left alone, or neglected. (TA.) A2: ضاع, aor. ـِ said of perfume, or sweet odour, i. q. ضاع having for its aor. ـُ (Har p. 670.) [See 5 in art. ضوع: and see also 5 in the present art.]2 ضيّع الشَّىْءَ, (O, Msb, K,) inf. n. تَضْيِيعٌ; (S;) and ↓ اضاعهُ, (O, Msb, K,) inf. n. إِضَاعَةٌ; (S;) both signify the same; (S, O, Msb, K;) He made, or caused, the thing to perish, or become lost; he destroyed it, wasted it, or lost it. (Msb, K, TA.) Hence, ضَيَّعُوا فُلَانًا is used by the vulgar as meaning They beheaded such a one with the sword. (TA.) It is said in a prov., الصَّيْفَ ضَيَّعْتِ اللَّبَنَ [In the spring, or in the summer, thou losedst the milk], in which the ت is with kesr when the words are addressed to a male, or to a female, or to a pl. number, because originally addressed to a woman, the wife of a wealthy man, whom she disliked because of his being aged, wherefore he divorced her, and a poor man married her, and she sent to her first husband requesting a gift, and he answered her thus; (S, O, K; *) الصيف being in the accus. case as an adv. n.: so says Yaakoob: (S, O:) or El-Aswad Ibn-Hurmuz divorced his wife El-' Anood Esh-Shenneeyeh, (O, K,) of the BenooShenn, (TA,) preferring to her a beautiful and wealthy woman of his people; (O, K; *) then there occurred between them what led to their separation, and he sought to obtain [again] El-' Anood, and sent a message to her; but in replying to him she said, أَنْشَأْتَ تَطْلُبُ وَصْلَنَا فِى الصَّيْفِ ضَيَّعْتَ اللَّبَنْ [Thou hast begun to seek our union: in the spring, or in the summer, thou losedst the milk]: (O, * K:) the ت in this case being with fet-h. (K. [See more in Freytag's Arab. Prov. ii. 197-8, or in Har p. 577; in both of which, however, and in the O, ضيّعت is with kesr in the latter case, as in the former.]) [One says also, ضيّع عَهْدَهُ, meaning He broke his compact, contract, or covenant]. The phrase, in a trad., نَهَى عَنْ المَالِ ↓ إِضَاعَةِ means He forbade the expending of wealth otherwise than in obedience to God, and the squandering thereof, and extravagance. (TA.) b2: See also the next paragraph.4 اضاع الشَّىْءَ: see 2, first sentence, and last but one. b2: Also, [and app. ↓ ضيّعهُ likewise, accord. to the K,] He left the thing; left it, or let it, alone; or neglected it. (K, TA.) Yousay, اضاع عِيَالَهُ He neglected his family, or household; omitted taking good care of them, or being mindful of them. (TA.) وَمَا كَانَ اللّٰهُ لِيُضِعَ

إِيمَانَكُمْ, in the Kur [ii. 138], means And God will not neglect [or make to be lost] your prayer. (TA.) أَضَاعُوا الصَّلَاةَ, in the same, [xix. 60,] means Who neglected, or omitted, prayer, (Bd, TA,) altogether: (TA:) or deferred it: (Bd:) or who performed it in other than its right time: but the first explanation is more suitable, for the unbelievers are meant thereby. (TA.) A2: اضاع [is also intrans., and] may signify He found his affair to be coming to nought. (Ham p. 33.) b2: And His estates (ضِيَاعُهُ) became wide-spread, (S, O, K,) and many, or numerous. (S, O, Msb, K.) 5 تضيّع, said of the wind, It blew: because it [often] destroys that upon which it blows: so says Er-Rághib. (TA. [But it may be from what here follows.]) b2: Said of musk, It diffused its odour, or fragrance: (S, O, K;) a dial. var. of تضوّع: (S:) or an instance of substitution [of ى for و]. (O.) [See also 1, last explanation.]

مَاتَ ضِيْعًا and ضِيَعًا: see ضَيَاعٌ.

ضَيْعَةٌ an inf. n. of 1. (S, &c.) b2: See ضَيَاعٌ, below, last sentence but one. b3: Also A single case, or occasion, of perishing, coming to nought, passing away, or becoming lost; or of being left, left or let alone, or neglected. (TA.) b4: تَرَكْتُهُ بِضَيْعَةٍ means I left him unsought-after, or unminded, or unmissed. (TA. [See also a similar phrase voce ضَيَاعٌ.]) A2: Also i. q. عَقَارٌ [meaning An estate consisting of land, or of land and a house, or of a house or land yielding a revenue, or of a house and palm-trees, or the like]; (S, O, Msb, K;) and [particularly] land yielding a revenue; (K;) or with the people of the towns and villages and cultivated lands it signifies the property, of a man, consisting of palm-trees and grape-vines and land: but the Arabs [of the desert] know not the word in this sense: (Az, TA:) IF says, I do not reckon the application of this word as a name for the عَقَار to be of the original language, but think it to be an innovation in speech; and I have heard it said that this is termed a ضيعة because, when frequent attention to it is neglected, it perishes; and if it be so, this is an evidence of what we have said, that it is of the innovated speech: (O, TA:) the dim. is ↓ ضُيَيْعَةٌ, for which one should not say ضُوَيْعَةٌ: (S, O, K:) the pl. is ضِيَاعٌ and ضِيَعٌ, (S, O, Msb, K,) as though the latter were a contraction of the former, (Msb,) and ضَيْعَاتٌ: (K:) accord. to Lth, the first of these pls. signifies places of alighting or abode or settlement; which are thus called because, when the paying frequent attention to them, or taking good care of them, and the keeping them, or putting them, in a good state, or state of repair, is neglected, they come to nought: and ضَيْعَاتٌ occurs in a trad. as meaning the means of subsistence. (TA.) And, (T, O, Msb, K,) as used by the Arabs [of the desert], who know not the word in any other sense than this, (T, O,) A craft, or handicraft, by which one gains his subsistence; a mode, or manner, of gain; or any habitual work or occupation of a man; (T, O, Msb, K) as the sewing of skins or boots and the like; and the twisting of ropes; and the weaving, or plaiting, of palm-leaves; and the culture of palm-trees (عَمَلُ النَّخْلِ); and the pasturing of camels; and the like thereof; (T, O;) including the sowing, or tilling, of land: (TA:) or the ضَيْعَة of the Arabs was the management, or tending, of camels and of sheep and goats: and the term includes a man's craft, or handicraft, or means of gain: (Sh, O:) and his traffic: (Sh, O, K:) one says to a man, قُمْ إِلَى ضَيْعَتِكَ [Arise to thy craft, &c.]: (Sh, O:) and كُلُّ رَجُلٍ

وَضَيْعَتَهُ, [Every man should occupy himself with his proper craft, &c.] (Msb.) أَفْشَى اللّٰهُ, ضَيْعَتَهُ, occurring in a trad., means God made or may God make, his means of subsistence to be abundant. (TA.) And one says, فَشَتْ ضَيْعَتُهُ, [or, more commonly, فَشَتْ عَلَيْهِ ضَيْعَتُهُ, as in the TA in art. فشو, &c.,] which is said to mean His property was, or became, large, or abundant, [or wide-spread,] so that he was unable to collect it together: and [hence] his means of attaining his object [or his affairs (as in the TA in art. فشو)] became disordered so that he knew not with which of them to begin: (TA:) or he took to doing an affair that did not concern him: (TA, and Ham p. 33:) it is nearly like the saying اِتَّسَعَ الخَرْقُ عَلَى الرَّاقِعِ [expl. in art. خرق]. (Ham ibid.) And إِنِّى لَأَرَى ضَيْعَةً لَا يُصْلِحُهَا إِلَّا ضَجْعَةٌ [Verily I see property that nothing but a sleep will restore to a right state] a prov.; said by a pastor whose camels had dispersed themselves, and who, desiring to collect them together, and being unable to do so, sought aid of sleep. (O.) مَاتَ ضِيعَةً: see the next paragraph.

ضَيَاعٌ an inf. n. of 1 [q. v.]. (S, &c.) [Hence] one says, مَاتَ ضَيَاعًا, as also ↓ ضِيَعًا, and ↓ ضِيْعًا, and ↓ ضِيعَةٌ, He (a man, TA) died unsought-after, or unminded, or unmissed. (K, TA. [See also a similar phrase voce ضَيْعَةٌ.]) b2: Also A family, or household: (ISh, O, K:) or the meaning is عِيَالٌ ضُيَّعٌ, (Mgh, O, K, *) i. e. a family, or household, neglected, untended, and unminded; (TA;) or such as are exposed, or liable, to perish, (بِعَرَضِ أَنْ يَضِيعَ,) as young children, and those who are crippled, or deprived of the power of motion, who cannot manage their own affairs: (Mgh:) occurring in a trad., in which it is said that when a man died leaving such as are thus termed, (تَرَكَ ضَيَاعًا,) they were to be brought to the Prophet, (Mgh, O,) to be maintained by means of the government-treasury: (Mgh:) a prefixed noun is to be understood [i. e. it is for عِيَالَ ضَيَاعٍ or the like]: (Mgh:) or it is an inf. n. used as a subst. [properly thus termed]: (Mgh, O:) or, accord. to one relation of the trad., the word is ↓ ضَيْعَةً [which is likewise an inf. n., and in this case to be expl. in the same manner]: (Mgh:) if read ضِيَاعًا, it would be pl. of ضَائِعٌ. (Mgh, O.) A2: Also A sort of perfume, or odoriferous substance. (K.) ضُيَيْعَةٌ dim. of ضَيْعَةٌ, q. v. (S, O, K.) ضَائعٌ Perishing, coming to nought, passing away, or becoming lost: (Mgh, * Msb:) [and being left; left, or let, alone; or neglected:] part. n. of 1: (Mgh, Msb:) pl. ضِيَاعٌ (Mgh, O, Msb, K) and ضُيَّعٌ. (Mgh, O, * Msb, K. *) [See an ex. of the latter pl. in a verse cited voce دَانَ, in art. دين. See also سَائِعٌ, in art. سوع.] b2: and A man in a state of poverty: or having a family, or household, to sustain: or in a state of circumstances by means of which he is unable to subsist. (TA.) b3: فُلَانٌ يَأْكُلُ فِى مِعًى ضَائِعٍ means جَائِعٍ

[i. e. Such a one eats into a hungry, or an empty, gut]: and it was said to the daughters of ElKhuss, “What is the sharpest thing? (مَا أَحَدُّ شَىْء;) and she answered, نَابٌ جَائِعٌ يُلْقِى فِى

مِعًى ضَائِعٍ [A hungry canine tooth that throws the food into an empty gut]. (S.) أَضْيَعُ means أَكْثَرُ ضَيَاعًا: so in the saying, فُلَانٌ أَضْيَعُ مِنْ فُلَانٍ [Such a one is in a more perishing state than such a one]. (TA.) مُضِيعٌ act. part. n. of the trans. v. اضاع. (TA.) [See مِسْيَاعٌ, in art. سوع.]

A2: And part. n. of the intrans. v. اضاع; as such signifying One whose estates (ضِيَاعُهُ) are becoming wide-spread, and many, or numerous. (S, TA.) مَضِيعَةٌ and مَضْيَعَةٌ i. q. ضَيَاعٌ [an inf. n. of 1, q. v.]. (Mgh, O, Msb, K.) So in the saying, تَرَكَ عِيَالَهُ بِمَضِيعَةٍ or بِمَضْيَعَةٍ [He left his family, or household, in a state of perishing, &c.]. (Mgh.) So too in the saying, السَّارِقُ لَا يُقْطَعُ فِى مَالٍ

بِمَضِيعَةٍ [The thief shall not suffer amputation of his hand in the case of his stealing property in a neglected state]. (Mgh.) And so in the saying, هُوَ بِدَارِ مَضِيعَةٍ (S, * O, K) and مَضْيَعَةٍ (O, K) [He is in a place (lit. an abode) of perdition, &c.]: or as meaning in this saying, abandonment, and ignominy. (TA.) And هُوَ مُقِيمٌ بِدَارِ مَضِيعَةٍ or مَضْيَعَةٍ means [He is dwelling in the abode of indolence; or] his characteristic in his affairs is indolence. (Msb.) b2: Also, [or perhaps the latter only, as meaning A cause of perishing &c., this latter being app. of the class of مَبْخَلَةٌ and مَجْبَنَةٌ

&c.,] A desert, or waterless desert, that is cut off [from inhabited regions]: or, as expl. by IJ, a place in which a man perishes, or is lost. (Msb.) مُضَيِّعٌ: see what follows.

رَجُلٌ مِضْيَاعٌ لِلْمَالِ i. q. لَهُ ↓ مُضَيِّعٌ [i. e. A man who wastes, or squanders, wealth, or property]. (S, O, K.)
