b2: نَمِرٌ (
S,
A,
Msb,
K, &c.) and نِمْرٌ, (
M,
A,
Msb,
K,) which is a contraction of the former, (
Msb,) or a
dial. form, (
TA,) [The leopard;] a certain wild beast, (
S,
A,
Msb,
K, &c.) well known, (
A,
K,) more malignant than the lion, (
T,
M,
Mgh,
Msb,) and bolder, (

fem. with ة: (

Msb,
K,) and [of mult.] نُمُورٌ, (

M,
Msb,
K,) held by
Th to be
pl. of نِمْرٌ, (
M,) and نُمُورَةٌ (
Msb, and so in some copies of the
K) and نُمُرٌ, (
S,
M,
K,) which occurs in poetry, and is
anomalous, perhaps a contraction of نُمُورٌ, (
S,) and not mentioned by
Sb, (
M,) and نُمْرٌ, (
M,
K,) which is the most common in occurrence, but,
accord. to
Th, he who uses it makes the
sing. أَنْمَرُ, (
M,) and نِمَارٌ, (
M,
K,) held by
Th to be
pl. of نِمْرٌ, (
M,) and نِمَارَةٌ. (
K.)
As the نَمِر is one of the most abominable and malignant of wild beasts, one says, لَبِسَ فُلَانٌ لِفُلَانٍ جِلْدَ النَّمِرِ, meaning, (
tropical:) Such a one became changed, or altered, to such a one; or met him in a morose manner: (
IB:) or became very rancourous, or malicious, towards him. (
TA.) The kings of the Arabs, when they sat [in judgment] to slay a man, used to attire themselves in skins of the نَمِر, and then give orders for the slaying of him whom they desired to slay. (

epithet in which the quality of a
subst. predominates. (

trad. of Saad, نَبَطِىٌّ فِى حُبْوَتِهِ أَعْرَابىٌّ فِى نَمِرَتِهِ أَسَدٌ فِى تَأْمُورَتِهِ [A Nabathean in his hubweh (a long piece of cloth, or the like, wound round the back and legs of a person sitting with his thighs against his belly); an Arab of the desert in his nemireh; a lion in his den].

As زَاكٍ is coupled with نَامٍ,
app. as an explicative adjunct, in the
T and
M, I think that I have here rendered it correctly: otherwise I should have supposed it to mean, perhaps, pure.]
