نمس: نمس: نمس بناموس: قام بخدعة (زيتشر 20: 990). أنظر مادة ناموس.
تنمس ب: ادعى وتظاهر بالورع والزهد (الشهرستاني 20: 8): ونبغ رجل متنمس بالزهد من سجستان. وقد ترجمها (هاربروكر) ترجمة لرديئة. إن الفعل عربي ولم يأت من nomos اليونانية (انظر دي ساسي كرست 1: 80):
دع المعطل للسرور وخلني ... من حسن ظن الناس بالمتنمس
أي دع المتدينين الذين يطردون السرور ولا تحدثني عن حسني الظن بأولئك الذين يتظاهرون بالفضائل وهي منهم براء (فريتاج كرست 113):
فلا تغترر منه بفضل تنفس ... فما هكذا كان الجنيد ولا الشبلي
نمس، والجمع نموس: (محيط المحيط، الكالا، بوشر، همبرت، أبو الوليد 755: 5).
نمس: ابن مقرض (حيوان من رتبة اللواحم يصاد به) furet ( فوك وقد وردت عند بفتح الميم) (الكالا) (شو 1: 266، رولاند): حيوان أفريقي يشبه النمس (بوشر، غرابرج 133). وهو عند (بوشر وهمبرت 64 السرعوب أو ابن عرس) belette. وعند (باجني) حيوان الالق Fouine ( انظر محيط المحيط).
نمس: والواحدة نمسة في (محيط المحيط): (هوام تولد في الدجاج فتؤذيها، وربما أماتتها). وفي (بوشر) نمش بالشين هي حشرة الأرقة: ( pueron) .
ناموس: كلمتان ذواتا معنيين مختلفين تماما، تكتبان على هذه الصورة، إحداهما عربية، والأخرى يونانية، وهذا ما لاحظه (فليشر- ويتشر 12: 701): الكلمة العربية هي نمس بوزن فاعول وجذرها نم ومعناها الأولي دن، طن، دوى، غمغم مستنكرا، همس في الأذان، وشوش، قال شيئا سرا. (فليشر) وضع، بترتيب مرض مختلف معاني، هذه الكلمة العربية: (ناموس وأضيف متبعا أسلوبه نفسه) بعض الملاحظات بالترقيم نفسه أيضا.
1) ناموس: بعوض، ذبابة صغيرة، والواحدة ناموسة وهي الحشرة التي تئز. أحاط (فريتاج) بمعنى كلمة ناموس إلا أنه وضعها في موضع لا يناسبها.
2) ناموس: نجى، موضع ثقة، مؤتمن على اسرار، صديق حميم (حيان 99) (ص227): اختار (أبو علي السراج) هذا القرشي لناموسه وعاقده على القيام بدعوته والاكتناف لدولته فأعطاه القرشي من ذلك وسأله وتدبر برأيه. من هنا جاء الناموس والناموس الأكبر ونجى الله الأكبر، رئيس الملائكة، جبرائيل. أن السيد (فليشر) قد أثبت بما لا يقبل الشك أن هذا المصطلح -الناموس- ينبغي أن يتم تفسيره على هذه الصورة. ومن الغريب أن (سبرنجر) في تخبطه المتعدي الحد، في تفسير كلمة ناموس و (زيتشر) -10: 13: 690 وما بعدها من صحائف لم يحسبا حسابا لهذا التخبط.
3) حول ما يتعلق بالفقرة السادسة ووفقا لملاحظة السيد (فليشر) نفسه في (زيتشر 21: 275) ينبغي أن نضيف إلى الناموس أنه يعني الحاوي أو المشعوذ (20 زيتشر: 487: 4 و489 و493 و499).
ناموس: ينبغي أن ننقل أو ندون هنا صورة الكلمة اليونانية التي ذكرناها سابقا، أي nomos، ليس فيما يتعلق بمعناها الخاص بالقانون الإلهي، بل القانون الأرضي أيضا. وذلك المعنى الذي رفضه (سبرنجر) دون حق. فقد جاء عند (باسم 44): الحاكم الذي عنده ناموس وأحكام؛ نواميس أفلاطون: اسم كتاب القوانين لأفلاطون (فهرست المخطوطات، ليدن 7: 306). وعند (بوشر).
ناموس طبيعي: قانون طبيعي. ناموس الطبيعة: شريعة الطبيعة Loi naturelle. ومن معاني الناموس أيضا مجموعة الاقيسة، أو القواعد أو المذاهب systeme و doctrine ( الشهرستاني 20: 10): فانتظم ناموسه وصار ذلك مذهبا خرج ابن القط هذا من قرطبة بناموس يبغي به الدولة، ومن معانيه أيضا: طريقة السلوك، العادات والأعراف والتقاليد d'agire, conduit, Coutume maniere ( المقري 1: 31: 16): ولما خرقوا هذا الناموس كان أول مت نهتك أمرهم ثم اضمحل. وفي (132: 5): وكان خلفاء بني أمية يظهرون للناس في الأحيان على أبهة الخلافة وقانون لهم في ذلك معروف إلى أن كانت الفتنة فازدرت العيون ذلك الناموس واستخفت به حيث تبدد ناموس هنا ترادف قانون التي هي، أيضا، من مصدر يوناني. إلا أن العرب أمعنوا في الابتعاد عن المعنى الحقيقي لهذه الكلمة الأجنبية وجعلوها تسلك ميارا فكريا لا علاقة له مع nomos اليونانية. وهكذا اصبح ناموس الشريعة يستعمل في موضع كلمة طريقة أو سبيل العدالة وطريقها المستقيم (ابن الخطيب 112): وكان سالكا ناموس الشريعة مائلا إلى طريقة المستقيمين. وكذلك من معاني الناموس الاحترام المشوب بالخوف الذي يرادف الهيبة (الفخري 27): الهيبة وبها يحفظ نظام المملكة ويحرس من أطماع الرعية. وقد كان المملوك يبالغون في إقامة الهيبة والناموس بارتباط الأسود والفيلة والنمور ويضرب البوقات الكبار لإثبات الهيبة في صدور الرعية ولإقامة ناموس المملكة (المقري 1: 131): وكانت قواعدهم إظهار الهيبة وتمكن الناموس من قلوب العالم. وفي (ابن الأثير 11: 2): ثقة بقوة الخليفة وناموس الخلافة. ومن معاني الناموس أيضا الشهرة، والشرف (كارتاس 110: 6): وكان رجلا فقيرا مشتغلا بطلب العلم وتحصيله، وكان له ناموس عظيم ولا أجسر أكلمه لأني رأيت صيانتي وناموسي قد حصل في يده (إمارتي 521: 2): وإنما قصد حفظ ناموسه عند الفرنج. وفي (المحيط المحيط): (والناموس أيضا الشريعة يونانيتها نومس. وعند العامة ما يحميه الرجل من اسمه وصيته وشرفه .. ). وأورد (بوشر) تعبير الناموس الظاهر للآداب bienseance. وأخيرا فإن من معاني الناموس الشجاعة والحمية والحماس (هلو).
ناموس: في (محيط): (والناموس البعوض ومنه الناموسية وربما -العامة- سموا الناووس بالناموس.
ناموسية: في (محيط المحيط): (الناموسية .. عند العامة .. نسيج رقيق يجعل على السرير وقاية منه -أي من البعوض- (بوشر، لين 1: 228، ألف ليلة 4: 315): صعد على بغلة وأرخوا عليها ناموسية من الحرير.

[of pauc.] أَنْمَاسٌ (TA) and [of mult.] نُمُوسٌ. (Msb.) You say, فِى النَّاسِ أَنْمَاسٌ [app. meaning, Among men are some that are malignant as the animals called انماس]. (A.
