ودمنــة: حقل، مزرعة، قطعة أرض صالحة للفلاحة، هذا هو معنى الكلمة في العبارات الأربعة الأخيرة التي نقلها كاترمير (مملوك2، 1: 215) وقد أخطأ هذا العالم حين قال إنها تعني داراً أو مجموعة دور أو دسكرة. ففي حياة ابن خلدون (ص215 و): وقدمت بهم إلى الحضرة بعد إن هيأت لهم المنزل والبستان ودمنــة الفلح وسائر ضروريات المعاش.
وفي كتاب العقود (ص3): وجعل لهم ذلك في ماله ودمنــته أو بعلاً الخ (وقد صححت عدة أخطاء في هذا النص). وفيه (ص9): ونصب الحدود في جميع دمنــتهما وأخذ كل ذي سهم حقه من تلك الــدمنــة. وفيه: - رهن فلان - لفلان - جميع دمنــته أو قطيعة من الأرض في الدين الثابت له بيديه - وشرط الراهن على المرتهن بالشركة فيقتسما بمال الــدمنــة المرهونة على الإنصاف النصف للراهن والنصف للمرتهن.

وقد وصف هذه الأغنام أيضاً ليون (ص753) وهي عنده أدِمَين. كما وصفها مارمول (1: 28) وهي عنده أدِم مَينْ (ص31) ودِمْنَــيت، غير أن هذا الأخير قد أخطأ حين قال إنها نوع من البقر.
دمان إسرائيل: نوع من الأرانب (شو 2: 105، بروس 1: 241) وهذين الرحالين يقولان أن هذه الكلمة تعني (حمل إسرائيل) غير أنهما يجهلان لما أطلق هذا الاسم على هذا الحيوان.

دَمَّاهُ signifies [also] he smeared him, or defiled him, or made him to be smeared or defiled, with blood. (MA.) Hence the prov., وُلْدُكِ مَنْ دَمَّى

عَقَبَيْكِ, (M, TA,) Thy son is he who made thy two heels to be smeared with blood; (TA in art. ولد;) i. e., whom thou thyself broughtest forth; (K and TA in that art.;) he is thy son really; not he whom thou hast taken from another, and adopted.

(M in art. دوم.) دَمٌ [Blood;] one of the [four] أَخْلَاط [or humours], (M,) well known: (T, M, K:) accord. to some, (Msb,) it is originally دَمَوٌ: (S, Msb:) or it is originally دَمًى; (Zj, Mbr, S, M, Msb, K;) thus in the correct copies of the K; (TA; [in some copies دَمْىٌ, and in the CK دَمَىٌ;]) though deviating from other words of the same form in respect of its pl. [which see below]; (Mbr, S;) as is shown by its dual, (Zj, M,) which is دَمَيَانِ, (T, S, M, Msb, K,) whereby [also] the letter gone from it is shown to be ى; (Mbr, S;) but it has also for its dual دَمَانِ; (T, M, Msb, K;) and some of the Arabs say دَمَوَانِ; (S, M;) in which last, however, [accord. to ISd,] the و is substituted for ى, though generally و is changed into ى: (M:) and this original form is used by a poet, [namely, Hoseyn Ibn-El-Homám, accord. to one of my copies of the S,] in his saying, فَلَسْنَا عَلَى الأَعْقَابِ تَدْمَى كُلُومُنَا

↓ وَلٰكِنْ عَلَى أَقْدَامِنَا يَقْطُرُ الدَّمَى

[And we have not our wounds bleeding upon the heels; but upon our feet the blood drops]: (S:) or it is originally دَمْىٌ; (Sb, T, S, M, Msb;) as is shown by its pls., (Sb, S,) which are دِمَآءُ (Sb, T, S, M, K) and دُمِىٌّ, (Sb, S, M, K,) also pronounced دِمِىٌّ; (TA;) like as ظَبْىٌ and دَلْوٌ have for their pls. ظِبَآءُ and ظُبِىٌّ and دِلَآءٌ and دُلِىٌّ; for if it were like قَفًا and عَصًا, it would not have such pls. (Sb, S.) دَمٌّ is ignored by Ks; but is used by poetic license; (M;) or it is a dial. var. of دَمٌ. (K in art. دم.) ↓ دَمَةٌ has a more special signification than دَمٌ, the two words being like بَيَاضَةٌ and بَيَاضٌ; (S;) [i. e.] it signifies A portion of blood: (T, M, K:) or it is a dial. var. of دَمٌ, (M, K,) accord. to IJ. (M.) The dim. of دَمٌ is ↓ دُمَىٌّ. (S.) [Hence,] رَجُلٌ ذُو دَمٍ A man seeking to obtain, or prosecuting for, [the revenge of] blood.

(S, Mgh, K.) Accord. to MF, it is also pronounced ↓ دِمْيَةٌ. (TA.) One says, أَحْسَنُ مِنَ الدُّمْيَةِ, meaning More beautiful than the image of ivory. (Har p. 611.) And لَاوَ الدُّمَى is an oath of the Pagan Arabs, meaning No, by the idols: or, as some relate, it is ↓ لَا وَ الدِّمَآءِ meaning No, by the blood of what is sacrificed upon the stones set up to be worshipped: so in the Nh.
