رمــك

1 رَمَــكَ بِالمَكَانِ, (S, Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (S,) inf. n. رُمُــوكٌ, (S, K,) He remained, stayed, dwelt, or abode, in the place, (S, Msb, K,) not quitting it: or he did so being fatigued, or wearied, or distressed: (K:) or رَمَــكَ signifies he (a man) made his home, or constant residence, in a country, or town. (Az, TA.) b2: رَمَــكَتِ المَاشِيَةُ, (O,) or الإِبِلُ, (K,) inf. n. as above, (O,) The cattle were confined, (O,) or the camels kept constantly, (K,) at the water, (O, K,) and were fed with fodder. (O.) b3: رَمَــكَ فِى الطَّعَامِ, aor. and inf. n. as above, [app. He kept constantly to the food;] he loathed nothing of the food: and so رَجَنَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. رُجُونٌ: (L, TA:) both mentioned by Lh. (TA in art. رجن.) A2: رَمَــكَ, said of a man, also signifies He was, or became, lean, or emaciated, and what was in his hands went away. (O, TA. [See also 9: and see رَمَــكَةٌ, as applied to a man.]) b2: [It seems also that this verb is used in a similar sense in relation to a beast; like ارمــكّ said of a camel: for it is immediately added in the O and TA without any explanation, that one also says, ↓ هٰذِهِ دَابَّةٌ رَامِكَةٌ, as though meaning This is a lean beast: and رَمَــكَتْ, inf. n. رُمُــوكٌ, as though meaning It was, or became, lean.]4 أَــرْمَــكْتُهُ I made him to remain, stay, dwell, or abide, in a place, (S, K,) not quitting it. (K.) b2: And ارمــك الإِبِلَ He (a pastor) kept the camels constantly at the water, and fed them with fodder. (TA.) 9 ارمــكّ He was, or became, of the colour termed رُمْــكَةٌ: said of a camel in this sense [and in another expl. in what follows]. (S, K.) A2: It (a thing, Ibn-'Abbád, O) was, or became, thin, or slender. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K.) And He (a camel) was, or became, lean, lank, light of flesh; slender; or lean, and lank in the belly; and emaciated. (Ibn-'Abbád, O, K. [In the CK, نَهِكَ is erroneously put for نُهِكَ.]) 10 اِسْتَــرْمَــكَ القَوْمُ (tropical:) The people were deemed ignoble; (K, TA;) as being likened to the رَمَــكَة. (TA.) رَمَــكٌ: see رَمَــكَةٌ. b2: In the saying of Ru-beh, يَرْبِضُ فِى الرَّوْثِ كَبِرْذَوْنِ الــرَّمَــكْ [That lies down upon his breast in the dung of horses, or similar beasts, like the jade, or hack, of the رَمَــك], AA says, الــرمــك, here, is from the Pers\.

رَمَــهْ [which means a “ herd," ” “ flock,” “ troop,” or the like]; and he adds that the people's saying that it means الــرَّمَــكَة is a mistake. (O, TA. [Perhaps, however, AA knew not رَمَــكٌ as a coll. gen. n. of which رَمَــكَةٌ is the n. un.; for as such it seems to me more reasonable to regard it in this instance.]) رُمْــكَةٌ A certain colour of camels; accord. to A 'Obeyd, a dun colour; i. e. a كٌمْتَة [or brown hue] so intense as to have in it a blackness: (S:) thus explained by As: (TA:) or, in the colours of camels, brownness; i. e. redness intermixed with blackness: (Kr, TA:) or a colour more dusky, or dingy, than that which is termed زُرْقَة [q. v.]: (Msb:) or the colour of ashes: (K:) or وُرْقَةٌ [which is a colour like that of ashes] inclining to blackness: or, as some say, دُونَ الوُرْقَةِ [less intense than what is termed وَرقة]: (TA:) it sometimes has for its pl. رُمُــكٌ, with two dammehs. (ISd, TA.) رَمَــكَةٌ A mare: and [particularly] a بِرْذَوْنَة [or mare of mean breed], (Lth, Mgh, K,) the female of the بَرَاذِين, (S, Msb,) that is taken for breeding: (Lth, Mgh, K:) pl. رِمَــاكٌ, (S, Mgh, Msb,) accord. to rule, (Mgh,) and, رَمَــكَاتٌ, (S,) and أَــرْمَــاكٌ, (Fr, S, Mgh,) formed on the supposition of the elision of the ة, (Mgh,) or this is a pl. pl., and the pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] is ↓ رَمَــكٌ. (K.) b2: Also (assumed tropical:) A weak man. (K.) رَامَكٌ: see the next paragraph, in two places.

رَامِكٌ Remaining, staying, dwelling, or abiding, in a place, (Msb, K,) not quitting: or especially, when fatigued, or wearied, or distressed. (K.) A2: See also 1, last sentence.

A3: Also, and ↓ رَامَكٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the former of which is the more usual, or more approved, (TA,) A certain thing, black, (S, Msb, K,) like pitch, (Msb,) that is mixed with musk, (S, Msb, K,) and is then called (يُجْعَلُ) musk. (Msb.) [Freytag, as on the authority of the K, in which nothing more is said respecting it than what I have given above, describes it thus: “ Res ex aliis rebus composita, nempe atramento sutorio, mali Punici cortice, gummi Arabico aliisque rebus, quibus admisceri solet muscus. ”] A poet says, (S,) namely, Khalaf Ibn-Khaleef El-Akta', (O, TA,) إِنَّ لَكَ الفَضْلَ عَلَى صُحْبَتِى

وَالمِسْكُ قَدْ يَسْتَصْحِبُ الرَّامَكَا [Verily thou hast such excellence as renders thee above my companionship; but musk sometimes unites with رامك]. (S, O.) b2: [↓ رَامَكٌ, from the Pers\. رَامَكْ, is also the name of A certain astringent medicine, used as a remedy for dysentery &c. In the printed edition of the “ Kánoon ” of Ibn-Seenà (Avicenna), book ii. p. 253, it is erroneously written رمــك.]

أَــرْمَــكُ Of the colour termed رُمْــكَةٌ: (S, Msb, K:) applied to a camel: fem. رَمْــكَآءُ. (S, Msb.) The رمــكآء is said by Honeyf-el-Hanátim, who was one of the most skilled of the Arabs respecting camels, to be the most beautiful of she-camels. (TA.) The fem. is also applied, tropically, to a woman. (Th, TA.) b2: A poet says, [applying it to dust,] وَالخَيْلُ تَجْتَابُ الغُبَارَ الأَــرْمَــكَا [And the horses, or horsemen, cleave the dark brown, or ash-coloured, &c., dust]. (TA.) b3: And it is said in a trad., [but to what it relates I know not,] The name of the higher, or highest, land is الــرَّمْــكَآءُ; said by IAth to be fem. of الأَــرْمَــكُ. (TA.)
