1 صّمَّ, (

Pers\. of each صَمِمْتُ,]
aor. ـَ (

Msb,
K,)
inf. n. صَمَمٌ (
S, *
M,
Msb,
K) and صَمٌّ; (
M,
K;) and ↓
أَصَمَّ; (

aor. as above,
inf. n. صَمَمٌ, The ear was, or became, deaf. (
Msb.)
b2: [And He was, or became, as though he heard not.] One says, صَمَّ عَنْهُ (assumed
tropical:) [He was as though he heard not him, or it; he was deaf to him, or it]; (
M;) and عَنْهُ ↓
أَصَمَّ [meaning the same]. (
S,
M.)
b3: [Hence صَمَّ signifies also (assumed
tropical:) He or it, uttered, or made, no sound or noise; like him who, not hearing, returns no reply to a call or question; (assumed
tropical:) was dumb, or mute.] One says, صَمَّتْ حَصَاةٌ بِدَمٍ (
tropical:) [A pebble made no sound in falling upon the ground by reason of blood]; i. e. the blood was so copious that if one threw a pebble into it no sound would be heard in consequence thereof, (
As,
S,
M,
Meyd,
K,
TA,) because it would not fall upon the ground: (
As,
S,
Meyd:) the saying is a
prov. (
Meyd.) And hence the saying of Imra-el-Keys, صمِّى ابْنَةَ الجَبَلِ, (
S,
K,) in the following verse: بُدِّلْتُ مِنْ وَائِلٍ وَكِنْدَةَ عَدْ وَانَ وَفَهْمًا صَمِّى ابْنَةَ الجَبَلِ (assumed

Wáïl and Kindeh,' Adwán and Fahm: make no sound, O pebble:
app. meaning that he would shed much blood]: (
S,
TA: but this verse is omitted in one of my two copies of the
S:) or the meaning is, O echo; (
S,
M,
Meyd,
K;) so they assert: (
AHeyth,
TA:) or O calamity; the saying being a
prov.; (
Meyd,
TA;) applied to the case of a severe calamity; as though meaning be dumb, O calamity; said by
As to be applied in relation to an event deemed excessively foul or evil: (
TA:) or O serpent; (
Meyd,
TA;) which is said to be the primary meaning: (
Meyd:) or O rock. (

K,
TA. [See also the second of the sentences here following.]) One says also, صَمَّ صَدَاهُ (
tropical:) [His echo became dumb, or may his echo become dumb;] meaning he perished, or may he perish. (
S,
K,
TA.) And ↓ صَمِّى صَمَامِ [in the
CK erroneously written صُمِّى] meaning (
tropical:) Increase, O calamity: (
S,
K,
TA:) or it is applied to a man who brings to pass a calamity, and means be dumb, O calamity: (
TA:) or صَمَامِ means calamity, and war; but primarily, the serpent; and this saying, like صَمِّى ابْنَةَ الجَبَلِ, is a
prov. said when two parties refuse to make peace, and persist in opposition; meaning answer not the charmer, O serpent, but continue as thou art wont to be. (
Meyd.)

inf. n. صَمَمٌ, The stone was hard [and solid]. (
MA.) And صَمَّتِ الفِتْنَةُ, meaning [The trial, or civil war, &c.,] was, or became, hard, vehement, or severe. (

M,)
aor. ـُ (

trans. verb of this class, and
app. a mistranscription,])
inf. n. صَمٌّ, (

S,
M,
K,
TA,)
accord. to the
K, signifies It struck the joint, and cut, or severed, it: or
i. q. طَبَّقَ: but this is at variance with what is said by
J and other leading authorities; which is as follows: (
TA:) it penetrated into the bone, and cut, or severed, it; but when it strikes the joint, and cuts, or severs, it, one says طَبَّقَ; a poet says, describing a sword, يُصَمِّمُ أَحْيَانًا وَحِينًا يُطَبِّقُ [It penetrates into the bone, &c., sometimes, and at one time it strikes the joint, &c.]: (
S,
TA:) or it passed into the bones: (
M:) and ↓ صَمْصَمَ, said of a sword, signifies the same: (
M,
TA:) or تَصْمِيمٌ signifies a sword's penetrating into that which is struck with it without its causing any sound to be heard; from الصَّمَمُ in the ear. (
Ham p. 326.)
b2: And hence تَصْمِيمٌ signifies also (

syll. signs, in my
MS. copy of the
K and in the
TA: in the
CK, عَفِجَة: but the right reading is evidently عِفَجَة, which is said in the
TA, in art. عفج, to be, like أَعْفَاجٌ, a
pl. of عَفَجٌ and its
dial. vars.: see this last word:] thus called [in my opinion because resembling a meatus auditorius that is closed, and therefore deaf; though said to be so called] because of its hardness. (
TA.)
b5: And نَاقَةٌ صَمَّآءُ (
tropical:) A fat she-camel: (
K,
TA:) and, (
K,) or as some say, (
TA,) one that has just conceived, or become pregnant. (
K,
TA.)
b6: اِشْتِمَالُ الصَّمَّآءِ, (
S,
Msb,
K,
TA,) which is forbidden in a
trad., (
TA,) is (assumed
tropical:) The covering oneself with his garment, like [as is done in the case of] the شِمْلَة of the Arabs of the desert with their [garments called] أَكْسِيَة [
pl. of كِسَآء]; (
A'Obeyd,
S;) i. e. the turning the كِسَآء, from the direction of one's right, upon his left arm and the part between his left shoulderjoint and neck, and then turning it a second time, from behind him, upon his right arm and the part between his right shoulder-joint and neck, so as to cover them both: (
A'Obeyd,
S,
K:) or the wrapping oneself with the garment without making to it a place from which to put forth the hand: (
Msb:) or, (
K,) as the lawyers explain it, (
A'Obeyd,
S,) it is the wrapping one's body and arms with one garment, not having upon him another, and then raising it [in the
K, as is said in the
TA, يَضَعُهُ is erroneously put for يَرْفَعُهُ] on one of its sides, and putting it upon his shoulder, so that his pudendum appears from it: (
A'Obeyd,
S,
K:) [but] with the Arabs, لِبْسَةُ الصَّمَّآءِ means the covering one's whole body with his garment, and not raising a side from which to put forth his hand: (
Mgh:) when you say, of a man, اِشْتَمَلَ الصَّمَّآءَ, it is as though you said, اِشْتَمَلَ الشِّمْلَةَ الصَّمَّآءَ; for الصَّمَّآء is a sort of اِشْتِمَال. (
S. [See also اِشْتَمَلَ, and الشِّمْلَةُ الصَّمَّآءُ, in art. شمل.])
b7: جَذْرٌ
أَصَمُّ (assumed
tropical:) A surd, or an irrational, root, in arithmetic; which is known only to God,
accord. to a saying of 'Áïsheh: opposed to جَذْرٌ نَاطِقٌ. (
Mgh in art. جذر.)
b8: [فِعْلٌ
أَصَمُّ A surd verb is a term sometimes used in grammar, as meaning a triliteral-radical verb of the class commonly called مُضَاعَفٌ of which the second and third radicals are the same letter.]
صَوْتٌ مَصِمٌّ A sound, or noise, or voice, that deafens the ear-hole. (
TA.) أَلْفٌ مُصَمَّمٌ (assumed
tropical:) A thousand completed; like مُصَمَّتٌ and مُصْمَتٌ. (
TA in art. صمت.) مُصَمِّمٌ A sword that passes into the bones: (
M:) or that penetrates into that which is struck with it. (
TA.)
b2: See also صِمْصِمٌ.
b3: And (assumed
tropical:) A strong camel: so says Aboo-' Amr Esh-Sheybánee: and he cites the saying, حَمَّلْتُ أَثْقَالِى مُصَمِّمَاتِهَا [as meaning I loaded their strong camels with my burdens]: (
TA:) or the مُصَمِّمَات, here mentioned, are the camels that do not utter a grumbling cry; patient of travel. (
Ham p. 791.)
