Msb, *
K:) جُثُومٌ in the case of a bird and a hare is like بُرُوكٌ in the case of a camel: (

جُثْمَانٌ The body, with the limbs or members;
syn. جِسْمٌ: and
i. q. شَخْصٌ [
app. as meaning a person; not, as
J seems to have held, a corporeal, or material, form or thing or substance, such as is seen from a distance; see جِسْمٌ]: (
K:) or,
accord. to
As, it has the latter meaning,
i. q. شَخْصٌ; and جُسْمَانٌ has the former meaning, that of جِسْمٌ (
S,
Msb) and جَسَدٌ: (

accord. to
Az, جُثْمَانٌ is
syn. with جُسْمَانٌ, (

J cites, as an
ex. of this word in the sense of شخص, from a verse of Bishr, سَنَامٌ كَجُثْمَانِ البَنِيِّةِ أَتْلَعَا observing that by البنيّة is meant the Kaabeh: but
IB says that the right reading, as found in his poetry, is البَلِيَّةِ, and أَتْلَعُ; and that the meaning is, A [long] hump like the جثمان [or body] of the she-camel that is placed [and confined without food or water until she dies] at the grave of a dead man. (

كَجُثْمَانِ المَآءِ [He brought us crumbled bread moistened with broth and piled up, like the body of the bird of the kind called قَطًا]. (
S.) جُثْمَانِيَّةُ المَآءِ, as used in the saying of ElFarajeeyeh, (
K,) so in the copies of the
K, [or El-Faraheeyeh,
accord. to the
CK,] but correctly of El-Farezdak, (
TA,) وَبَاتَتْ بِجُثْمَانِيَّةِ المَآءِ نِيبُهَا
إِلَى ذَاتِ رَحْلٍ كَالْمَآتِمِ حُسَّرَا means The water itself: or the middle thereof: or the place where it collected. (
K TA.) [The poet says, And her aged she-camels passed the night in the water, &c., . . . . like the companies of mourning women having the head, or the face, &c., uncovered: but what is meant by الي ذات رحل, unless it be with one having a saddle upon her, إِلَى being sometimes used in the sense of مَعَ I am unable to conjecture. In the
CK, نَيْبَها and كالمٰاثِمِ are erroneously put for نِيبُهَا and كَالمَآتِمِ.]
