1 عَامَ فِى المَآءِ, (Mgh, Msb,) aor. ـُ (Msb,) inf. n. عَوْمٌ, (S, Msb, K,) He swam in the water; syn. سَبَحَ: (Mgh:) العَوْمُ signifying السِّبَاحَةُ: (S, K:) or, accord. to the author of the “ Iktitáf,” the former signifies the coursing along in water with immersion of oneself; and the latter, “the coursing along upon water without immersion of oneself: ” [but see what follows:] or, as some say, the former is an act of rational beings, and the latter is of irrational; but Bd, on the words كُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ [in the Kur xxi. 34], says that السِّبَاحَةُ is the act of rational beings. (MF, TA.) It is said in a trad., عَلِّمُوا صِبْيانَكُمُ العَوْمَ [Teach ye your young boys swimming]. (TA.) And one says, العَوْمُ لَا يُنْسَى [Swimming once learned will not be forgotten]. (S, TA.) b2: and عامت السَّفِينَةُ, (TA,) inf. n. as above, (S, K,) The ship coursed along. (S, K, TA.) b3: And عامت النُّجُومُ, inf. n. as above, (tropical:) The stars coursed along. (TA.) b4: And عامت الِإبِلُ, (TA,) inf. n. as above, (S, K,) (tropical:) The camels marched along, or journeyed, (S, K, TA,) in the desert. (TA.) And يَعُمْنَ فِى لُجِّ السَّرَابِ (tropical:) [They course along in the apparently-boundless expanse of the mirage]. (A, TA.) 2 عوّم السَّفِينَةَ, inf. n. تَعْوِيمٌ, He made the ship to swim [or float] in [or upon] the sea. (TA.) A2: [J cites immediately after explaining عَامَةٌ in relation to a turban,] وَعَامَةٍ عَوَّمَهَا فِى الهَامَةِ [Many a turn or twist, of a turban, which he turned, or twisted, upon the head]. (S.) b2: and تَعْوِيمٌ also signifies The putting, or placing, reaped corn in handfuls. (S, K.) A3: See also the next paragraph, in two places.3 عاومــهُ, (Lh, K, TA,) inf. n. مُــعَاوَمَــةٌ and عِوَامٌ, He hired him, or tock him as a hired man or hireling, for the year: (Lh. TA:) or he made an engagement, or a contract, with him for work or the like, by the year (K:) or you say, عَامَلَهُ مُــعَاوَمَــةً; like as you say, مُشَاهَرَةً; (S, Msb:) the former from العَامُ, and the latter from الشَّهْرُ; &c. (Msb.) The مُــعَاوَمَــة that is forbidden is The setting the seed-produce of one's year, (S, K, TA,) or the dates of one's palm-trees, or ones trees, for two years, or three, (so in one of my copies of the S,) or for what will come forth in the next following year: or, as in the Nh, the selling the fruit of one's palm-trees or of one's grape-nines or of one's [other] trees for two years, or three, and more than that; (TA:) or one's extending to a man the term of a debt that has become due by him and his increasing the amount of the debt: (Lh, TA:) or one's adding somewhat to a debt and deferring it (K.) b2: And عاومــت السَّخْلَةُ The palm-tree bore one year and did not bear another year: (S, K:) like سَانَهَت: (As, in K and TA, art. سنه.) as also ↓ عُوُّمَت: (K:) and الكَرْمُ ↓ عَوَّمَ, inf. n. تَعْوِيمٌ, The grape-vine bore much one year and little another, (TA, [See also مُعْوِمٌ; perhaps a mistranscription for مُعَوِّمُ.]) b3: Also (i. e. عاومــت النخلة The palm-tree completed a year [of growth]. (Z. TA.) 4 الدَّارُ اعامت The house, or dwelling, became altered, or changed, and years passed over it; like احالت. (TA in art. حول.) عَامٌ A year syn. سَنَةٌ: (S, K;) or حَوْلٌ; [not سَنَةٌ; for] El. Jawáleekee says, the common people do not distinguish between the عام and the سنه, making them both to have the same meaning; but the right state of the case is what I have been told on the authority of Ahmad Ibn-Yahyà

[i. e. Th], that the سنه is from any day from which one commences a reckoning to the like thereof, and the عام is only [a period of] a winter and a summer; and it is also said in the T and in the Bári that the عام is a حَوْل that makes an end of a winter and a summer, so that every عام is a سنة, but every سنة is not an عام; for when you reckon from a day to the like thereof, that is a سنة, and there may be in it half of the summer. and half of the winter, whereas the عام is only a winter and a summer, without interruption: (Msb, MF: *) Er-Rághib mentions a difference in the uses of the words عَامٌ and سَنَةٌ [as has been stated in art. سنو and سنى: see سَنَةٌ in that art.] and Suh says, in the R, that the سنة is longer than the عام; that the former is “ a single revolution of the sun; ” and that the latter is applied to the [twelve] Arabian months [collectively]: it is said to be called عام because of the sun's عَوْم [or coursing] through all of its zodiacal signs [during the period which it denotes]: (TA:) its pl. is أَعْوامٌ, (S, Msb, K,) because the sing. is originally of the measure فَعَلٌ [i. e. عَوَمٌ]: (Msb:) it has no other pl. than this. (TA.) b2: One says, لقِيتُهُ عَامًا أَوَّلَ [I met him in a former year; generally meaning, the year immediately preceding, or, as we say, last year]; making the last word imperfectly decl. as being an epithet [and of the measure of a verb]: and لَقِتُهُ عَامًا أَوَّلًا [I met him in a year before: generally meaning the same as the phrase preceding]; making the last word perfectly decl. as not being an epithet [but an ad(??) and K in art. وأل) or the meaning is, (??) year] before this year; even if it be by a number of years: ('Alee El-Kári, on the authority of Seer, in a marginal note in my MS. copy of the K, art. اول:) and one says also, accord. to Az and IAar, لَقَيتُهُ عَامَ الأَوَّلِ; (TA in art. وأل;) or the is rarely said; (K and TA in that art.;) or should not be said; (ISk, S and TA in that art.;) (??) should one say, لَقَيتُهُ عَامَ أَوَّلَ (ISk TA in the present art.) And [in like manner] one says, ما رَأَيْتُهُ مُذْ عَامٌ أَوَّلُ, putting the last word in the nom case as being an epithet, (S and K in art. وأل,) as though he said أَوَّلُ مِنْ عَامِنَا [i. e. I have not seen him since a year preceding this one year]; (S in that art.;) and مُذْ عَامٌ أَوَّلَ, putting the last word in the accus. case as an adv n., (S and K * in that art.,) as though he said مُذْ عامٌ قَبْلَ عَامِنَا [since a year before this our year]; (S in that art.;) and مُذْعَامًا أَوَّلَ and مُذْ عَامُ الأَوَّلِ are also mentioned by different authors (??)in art, منذ) And [using the dim. form] one says, لَقِتُهُ ذَاتَ

↓ العُوَيْمِ i. e. [I met him] in the course of some years; like as one says, لَقِيتُهُ ذَاتَ الزُّمَيْنِ, and ذَاتَ مَرَّةٍ: (S:) or the meaning is, (some few years ago; or] three years ago or more, to ten: (Az, Az, TA:) and it is like the saying, لَقِيتُهُ مُنْذُ سُنَيَّاتٍ: the fem. form is used because they mean by it مَرَّة وَاحِدَة. (Az, TA.) b3: One says also نَاقَةٌ بَازِلُ عَامٍ and بَازِلُ عَامِهَا [A she-camel that has passed a year, and her year, after cutting her tush], (TA,) and بازِل عَامَيْنِ that has passed two years after cutting the tush. (MF and TA in art. بزل.) A2: See also عَامَةٌ, in two places.

A3: It is also said in the K that العَامُ signifies النَّهَارُ: but this is a mistake and a mistranscription it is العَيَامُ; and its place is art. عيم; as it as mentioned by Az, on the authority of El-Muärrij, (TA.) عَامَةٌ A [kind of float, such as is called] طَوْف [q. v.], upon which one embarks on the water; (S, K:) accord. to AA, a small مِعْبَر [q. v.] that is upon rivers: (Az, TA:) in the M, said to be a thing that is made of the branches of trees, and the like, upon which one crosses a river, and which tosses about upon the water the pl. is عَامَاتٌ and عوم [app. عُومٌ, like نُوقٌ pl. of نَاقَةٌ,] and [coll. gen. n.] ↓ عَامٌ. (TA.) [See also عَامَّةٌ, voce عِمَامَةٌ.]

A2: Also The head of a ruler, or of a rider upon a camel, (هَامَةُ رَاكِبٍ,) when it appears to thee in the [desert, or plain, called] صَحْرَآء, (K. TA,) as he is journeying: (TA:) or it is not thus called unless having upon it a turban. (K, TA.) b2: And A turn, or twist, of a turban. (S, K.) [See 2, second sentence.] b3: And A quantity of reaped corn put, or placed, in handfuls: pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] ↓ عَامٌ. (S, K.) عُومَةٌ A certain insect (دُوَيْبَّة, S, K) that swims in the water, resembling a black فَصّ [or stone of a ring], smooth and round: (S:) pl. عُوَمٌ. (S, K.) b2: And A species of serpents, in 'Omán. (TA.) عَامِيٌّ a rel. n., from عَامٌ; (Msb, TA;) A year old. (TA in arts. حول and دول, &c.) and applied to a plant as meaning A year old, and therefore dry. (Msb, TA. *) It is also applied to a [vestige, or relic, of a dwelling, such as is termed] رَسْم, or طَلَل, as meaning Over which a year has passed. (TA.) And it is applied, in a trad., as an epithet to the حَنْظَل [or colocynth, meaning That is of service in the year of drought, or barrenness]; because it is procured, or prepared [as an article of food], in the year of drought, or barrenness. (TA.) عُوَيْمٌ: see عَامٌ [of which it is the dim.], last quarter.

عَوَّامٌ an intensive epithet from عَامَ فِي المَآءِ; (Msb;) A man skilful in swimming. (TA.) b2: And (assumed tropical:) A horse that stretches forth his fore legs well in running [like as one does the arms in swimming]; (S, Z, K, TA;) fleet, or excellent, in his running. (TA.) عَائِمٌ [Swimming;] part. n. of عَامَ in the phrase عَامَ فِي المَآءِ. (Msb.) b2: [Hence,] سَفِينٌ عُوَّمٌ means عَائِمَةٌ [of which عُوَّمٌ is pl.; i. e. Ships coursing along]. (TA.) A2: One says سِنُونَ عُوَّمٌ, in which the latter word is a corroborative to the former; (S, K; *) [app. meaning Tedious, because severe, years;] like as one says شُغْلٌ شَاغِلٌ: as though pl. of عَائِمٌ; but it is not used alone, because it is not a subst., being only a corroborative: (S:) or, as is said in the M, it should by rule be عُومٌ; for [it is pl. of ↓ أَعْوَمُ, and] the pl. of أَفْعَلُ is فُعْلٌ; but they pronounce it as above, as though the sing. were عَامٌ عَائِمٌ: ISd says, عَامٌ

↓ أَعْوَمُ is an intensive expression, and I think that the meaning is, [A year] that seems long to people because of its drought, or barrenness; and similar to it is ↓ عَامٌ مُعِيمٌ, mentioned by Lh. (TA.) A3: عَائِمٌ is also [the name of] A certain idol (S, K) of the Arabs. (S.) عَامٌ أَعْوَمُ: see the next preceding paragraph, in two places.

عِنَبٌ مُعْوِمٌ [perhaps a mistranscription for ↓ مُعَوِّمٌ, see 3, near the end,] means, as mentioned by Az, on the authority of En-Nadr, [A grapevine] that bears one year and does not bear another year. (TA.) عَامٌ مُعِيمٌ: see عَائِمٌ, last sentence but one. [And see also art. عيم.]

شَحْمٌ مُعَوِّمٌ Fat of a year after another year. (TA.) b2: See also مُعْوِمٌ.

مُسْتَعَامٌ A ship upon the sea. (K.)

سنه

1 سَنِهَ see 5, in two places.3 سانههُ, inf. n. مُسَانَهَةٌ and سِنَاهٌ; and سَاناهُ, inf. n. مُسَانَاةٌ; (K;) or عَامَلَهُ مُسُانَهَةً, and مُسَانَاةً; (Msb;) He made an engagement, or a contract, with him for work or the like, by the year: (K:) and اِسْتَأْجَرْتُهُ مُسَانَهَةً, and مُسَانَاةً, [I hired him by the year:] (S:) مُسَانَهَةٌ and مُسَانَاةٌ from السَّنَةُ are like مُــعَاوَمَــةٌ from العَامُ, and مُشَاهَرَةٌ from الشَّهْرُ, and مُرَابَعَةٌ from الرَّبِيعُ, &c. (TA in art. ربع.) b2: سانهت النَّخْلَةُ The palm-tree bore one year and not another; (As, K;) as also عَاوَمَــت. (As, TA.) 4 أَسْنَهَ In this form of the verb, the final radical letter is changed into ت, so that they say أَسْنَتُوا, meaning They experienced drought, or barrenness. (TA. [See also art. سنت.]) 5 تَسَنَّهْتُ عِنْدَهُ, (S,) and تَسَنَّيْتُ عنده, (S, Msb,) I remained, stayed, dwelt, or abode, with him, or at his abode, a year: (Msb:) both signify the same. (TA.) [See also 5 in art. سنو and سنى.]

b2: تسنّهت النَّخْلَةُ (assumed tropical:) The palm-tree underwent the lapse of years; (S, Msb;) as also ↓ سَنِهَت: (S:) and in like manner one says of other things. (Msb.) b3: تسنّه said of food and of beverage, (Fr, S, TA,) (assumed tropical:) It became altered [for the worse]; as also ↓ سَنِهَ, aor. ـَ inf. n. سَنَهٌ: (TA:) or it became altered [for the worse] by the lapse of years: (Fr, S, TA:) and التَّسَنُّهُ in relation to bread and beverage &c. means the becoming mouldy, or musty, or spoiled. (S: and so in some copies of the K and in the TA: in other copies of the K, السَّنِهُ, like كَتِف, is put in the place of التَّسَنُّهُ; and المُتَكَرِّجُ in the place of the explanation التَّكَرُّجُ.) فَانْظُرْ إِلَى طَعَامِكَ وَشَرَابِكَ لَمْ يَتَسَنَّهْ, in the Kur [ii. 261], means (assumed tropical:) [But look at thy food and thy beverage,] it has not become altered [for the worse] by the lapse of years: (Fr, S, TA:) Az says that this is the right way of reading, by pronouncing the ه in يتسنّه in pausing after it and in continuing without pausing: Ks used to suppress the ه in the latter case and to pronounce it in the former: and Aboo-'Amr EshSheybánee says that the original form [of يَتَسَنَّ] is يَتَسَنَّنْ; the like change being made in it as is made in تَظَنَّيْتُ [for تَظَنَّنْتُ] and in قَصَّيَتُ أَظْفَارِى

[for قَصَّصْتُ اظفارى]. (TA. [See also 5 in art. سنو and سنى, last sentence.]) سَنَةٌ a word of which the final radical letter is rejected, (S, Msb,) and of which there are two dial. vars., (Msb,) being, accord. to some, originally سَنْهَةٌ, (S, Msb,) like جَبْهَةٌ (S) or سَجْدَةٌ, (Msb,) and accord to others, سَنْوةٌ, (S, * Msb,) like شَهْوَةٌ, and upon each of these originals are founded modifications of the word, (Msb,) therefore it is mentioned in the K [and S and other lexicons] in the present art. and again in art. سنو, (TA,) A year; syn. حَوْلٌ; (Msb;) or عَامٌ: (M, K:) or, as Suh says, in the R, the سَنَة is longer than the عَام; the latter word being applied to the [twelve] Arabian months [collectively], and thus differing from the former word: (TA:) with the Arabs it consists of four seasons, mentioned before [in art. زمن, voce زَمَنٌ]: but sometimes it is tropically applied to (tropical:) a single فَصْل [or quarter]; as in the saying, دَامَ المَطَرُ السَّنَةَ كُلَّهَا, meaning [The rain continued] during the فَصْل [or quarter, all of it]: (Msb:) [see more in art. سنو and سنى:] the dim. is ↓ سُنَيْهَةُ (S, Msb) accord. to those who make the original of سَنَةٌ to be سَنْهَةٌ, (Msb,) and ↓ سُنَيَّةٌ (S, Msb) accord. to those who make the original of سَنَةٌ to be سَنْوَةٌ; (Msb;) and some say سُنَيْنَةٌ, but this is rare: (TA:) the pl. is سَنَهَاتٌ (Msb, K) accord. to those who make the original of سَنَةٌ to be سَنْهةٌ, (Msb,) and سَنَوَاتٌ (Msb, K) accord. to those who make the original of سَنَةٌ to be سَنْوَةٌ; (Msb;) and سِنُونَ also, (S, Msb, K,) like the masc. perfect pl., (Msb,) [agreeably with a rule applying to other cases of this kind,] with kesr, to the س, (S, TA,) and سِنِينَ [in the accus. and gen. cases], (Msb, TA,) so that one says, هٰذِهِ سِنُونَ [These are years], and رَأَيْتُ سِنِينَ [I saw years], (TA,) and the ن is elided when it is prefixed to another noun, governing the latter in the gen. case, (Msb,) and some say سُنُونَ, with damm to the س; (S, TA;) and in one dial., the ى is retained in all the cases, and the ن is made a letter of declinability, with tenween when the word is indeterminate, [so that one says سِنِينٌ,] and is not elided when the word is prefixed to another noun, governing the latter in the gen. case, because it is [regarded as] one of the radical letters of the word; and of this dial. is the saying of the Prophet, اَللّٰهُمَّ اجْعَلْهَا عَلَيْهِمْ سِنِينًا كَسِنِينِ يُوسُفَ [O God, make them to be to them years like the years of Joseph]; (Msb; [but in my copy of the Mgh, I find كَسِنِى يُوسُفَ;]) or with respect to سِنِينٌ, like مِئِينٌ, with refa [and tenween], there are two opinions; one is, that it is of the measure فِعْلِينٌ, like غِسْلِينٌ, with a rejection [of one letter], though this is an anomalous pl., for there sometimes occurs among pls. that which has no parallel, as عِدًى, and this is the opinion of Akh; the other is, that it is of the measure فَعِيلٌ, changed to فِعِيلٌ because of the kesreh of the second letter; the pl. being in some instances of the measure فَعِيلٌ, like كَلِيبٌ and عَبِيدٌ; but he who holds this opinion makes its final ن to be a substitute for و, and that of مِائَةٌ a substitute for ى: (S:) you may also suppress the tenween in سِنِينٌ; [in which case it seems that one says سِنِينَ in the nom. case (assimilating it to سِنُونَ) as well as in the accus. and the gen.; like as one does in the instances of بُرِين and بِرِين, pls. of بُرَةٌ, accord. to the K, though, as I have shown in art. برو, there is some doubt on this point;] but the suppression of the tenween in سِنِينٌ is more rare than its pronunciation: (I' Ak p. 18:) and another pl. is سُنِىٌّ, [originally سُنُوٌّ,] of the measure فُعُولٌ. (Er-Rághib, TA in art. سنو.) The phrase ثَلٰثَ مِائَةٍ سِنِينَ, in the Kur [xviii. 24], is said by Akh to be for ثَلٰثَمِائَةٍ مِنَ السِّنِينَ [Three hundred of years]: and he says that if the سِنُون be an explicative of the مِائَة, it is in the gen. case [to agree with مِائَةٍ]; and if an explicative of the ثَلٰث, it is in the accus. case [to agree with ثَلٰثَ]. (S. [See also Bd on this phrase; and see De Sacy's Ar. Gr., 2nd ed., i. 423.]) [لِسَنَةٍ, relating to an animal or a plant or the like, means To the completion of a year: and لِسَنَتِهِ, to the completion of his, or its, year; i. e. in his, or its, first year.] And one says, ↓ لَقِيتُهُ مُنْذُ سُنَيَّاتٍ [I met him some years ago; three or more, to ten, years ago]: a phrase like لَقِيتُهُ ذَاتَ العُوَيْمِ. (Az, TA in art. عوم.) And ↓ سُنَيَّةٌ is a dim. of enhancement, of سَنَةٌ: one says سُنَيَّةٌ حَمْرَآءُ A severe year of drought or barrenness or dearth: (TA:) and البِيضِ ↓ وَقَعُوا فِى السُّنَيَّاتِ [They lapsed into the severe years of scantiness of herbage]: these were years that pressed hard upon the people of ElMedeeneh. (K, TA.) b2: سَنَةٌ [alone] also signifies (tropical:) Drought, or barrenness: (Msb, K, TA:) or vehement, or intense, drought: (TA in art. سنو:) an instance of a noun used especially in one of its senses, like دَابَّةٌ applied to “ a horse,” and مَالٌ applied to “ camels: ” pl., in this, as in the former, sense, سَنَهَاتٌ [and سَنَوَاتٌ] and سِنُونَ and سِنِينٌ. (TA.) One says of a land (أَرْضٌ), أَصَابَتْهَا السَّنَةُ (tropical:) Drought, or barrenness, befell it. (Msb.) And in like manner one says of people, أَصَابَتْهُمُ السَّنَهُ (tropical:) [Drought, &c., befell them]. (TA.) A seeker of herbage and of a place in which to alight was sent to a tract, and found it dried up by want of rain, and when he returned, being asked respecting it, he said, السَّنَةُ, meaning (tropical:) Drought, &c. [has befallen it]. (TA.) And it is said in a trad., اَللّٰهُمَّ أَعِنِّى عَلَى مُضَرَبِالسَّنَةِ, i. e. (tropical:) [O God, aid me against Mudar] by drought &c. (TA.) A2: It is also [used as an epithet,] applied to land (أَرْضٌ), as meaning (tropical:) Affected with drought, or barrenness; (As, S, K;) as also ↓ سَنْهَآءُ and سَنْوَآءُ. (Msb.) One says likewise, هٰذِهِ بِلَادٌ سِنِينٌ (tropical:) These are countries, or tracts, affected with drought &c.: and Et-Tirimmáh says بِمُنْخَرَقٍ تَحِنُّ الرِّيحُ فِيهِ حَنِينَ الحُلْبِ فِى البَلَدِ السِّنِينِ (tropical:) [In a gusty tract, the wind moaning therein like the moaning of the milch ewes or goats (see حَلُوبٌ) in the country affected with drought, or the countries, &c., بَلَد being regarded as a coll. gen. n. and therefore qualified by a pl., like قَوْمٌ in the phrase قَوْمٌ كَافِرُونَ]. (TA.) سَنَهْ سَنَهْ, also pronounced with teshdeed to the ن: see سَنًا, in art. سنو and سنى, last sentence.

طَعَامٌ سَنِهٌ (assumed tropical:) [Food, or wheat,] that has undergone the lapse of years; (Az, K;) as also سَنٍ. (Az, TA.) b2: See also مُتَسَنِّهٌ.

نَخْلَةٌ سَنْهَآءُ (assumed tropical:) A palm-tree that bears one year and not another: (S, K:) or a palm-tree affected by a year of drought. (S.) And سَنَةٌ سَنْهَآءُ A year in which is no herbage nor rain. (TA.) b2: See also سَنَةٌ, last sentence but one.

سُنَيْهَةٌ and سُنَيَّةٌ (dims. of سَنَةٌ), and the pl. سُنَيَّات: see سَنَةٌ, in five places: and see also سُنَيَّةٌ in art. سنو and سنى.

مُتَسَنِّهٌ, applied to bread, (S, K,) and so ↓ سَنِهٌ applied to bread and to beverage &c., (CK, but see 5, third sentence,) (assumed tropical:) Mouldy, or musty, or spoiled. (S, K.)
