K) and تِمَامَةٌ, (
K,) and تمُّ and تَمٌّ and تُمٌّ, (
M,
K,) of which last three forms the first is said to be the most chaste, (
TA,) [The thing was, or became, complete, entire, whole, or full; i. e., without, or free from, deficiency: and sometimes, the thing was, or became, consummate, or perfect; which latter signification is more properly expressed by كَمَلَ:]
accord. to the author of the
K, as is shown in art. كمل, and
accord. to some others, تَمَامٌ and كَمَالٌ are
syn.; but several authors make a distinction between them: the former is said to signify a thing's being, or becoming, without, or free from, deficiency; and the latter, to signify تمام and something more, as, for instance, goodliness, and excellence, essential or accidental; though each is sometimes used in the sense of the other: or, as some say, the former necessarily implies previous deficiency; but the latter does not: (
MF,
TA:) or,
accord. to El-
Harállee, the latter signifies the attaining to the utmost point, or degree, in every respect: or, as Ibn-El-Kemál says, when one says of a thing كَمَلَ, he means that what was desired of it became realized. (
TA.) [See also تَمَامٌ, below.] You say, تَمَّ خَلْقُهُ [His make, or formation, was, or became, complete, or perfect; he (a child or the like, and a man,) was, or became, fully formed or developed, or complete in his members; and he (a man) was, or became, full-grown]: (
TA:) [whence, probably,] تَمَّ الشَّىْءُ [as meaning] The thing became strong and hard. (

S,
Msb,) or ↓ اتمّ, (

Har p. 508.) Aboo-Dhu-eyb says, فَبَاتَ بِجَمْعٍ ثُمَّ تَمَّ إِلَى مِنًى
[which may be rendered And he passed the night in Jema (a name of El-Muzdelifeh): then he repaired, or went, to Minè; there completing the ceremonies of the pilgrimage; wherefore
ISd says,] I think that, by تمّ, [or rather تمّ الى منى,] he means he completed his pilgrimage. (
M.)
b4: تَمَّ بِهِ, and تَمَّ عَلَيْهِ: see their
syn. اتمّهُ (4).

Mgh.)
b6: And He persevered in it; (
Mgh,
TA;) as also تَمَمَ عَلَيْهِ, without teshdeed, as in the phrase إِنْ تَمَمَتْ عَلَى
مَا أُرِيدُ [If she persevere in what I desire], occurring in a
trad.; but
IAth says that the verb here means ↓ تَمَّمَتْ. (

“ it was broken: ” (
T:) [or تَتَمَّمَ signifies his lameness became complete by an increased fracture, after he had had a fracture with which he was able to walk: this is what is meant by the following loose explanation:] التَّتَمُّمُ مَنْ كَانَ بِهِ كَسْرٌ يَمْشِى بِهِ ثُمَّ أَبَتَّ فَتَتَمَّمَ. (
K. [In the

Lth,
T,

Mgh:) but as to the مَعَاذَات that are inscribed with something from the
Kur-án, or with the names of God, in these there is no harm: (
S,
Mgh:) a speckled bead, black speckled with white, or the reverse, which is strung upon a thong, and tied to the neck: (
M,
K:)
sing. of تَمَائِمُ and [
n. un. of] ↓ تَمِيمٌ: (
T,
M,
K:) تَمَائِمُ signifies certain beads which the Arabs of the desert used to hang upon their children, to repel, as they asserted, the evil eye: (
T,
Mgh:) or the تَمِيمَة is,
accord. to some, a necklace (قِلَادَة) upon which are put thongs and amulets (عُوَذ): (
M:) or a necklace (قِلَادَة) of thongs: and is sometimes applied to the amulet (عُوذَة) that is hung upon the necks of children: (
T:) but he who makes تمائم to signify thongs is in error: El-Farezdak uses the phrase سُيُورُ التَّمَائِمِ because they are beads which are perforated, and into which are inserted thongs or strings whereby they are suspended: (
T,
Mgh:)
Az says, I have not found among the Arabs of the desert any difference of opinion respecting the تميمة, as to its being the bead itself: (
TA:) but
accord. to En-Nakha'ee, the Prophet disapproved of everything hung upon a child or grown person, and said that all such things were تمائم: (
Mgh:) the تميمة is [said to be] thus called because by it the condition of the child is rendered complete. (
Har p. 22.) تِمَامِىٌّ: see تَمَامٌ.
تَمْتَامٌ One whose utterance is such as is termed تَمْتَمَةٌ: (

Msb:)

M,
K,) applied to a man and to a horse, (
M,) and ↓ تَمَمٌ also; and in like manner is used the phrase ↓ خَلْقٌ تَمَمٌ [a complete, or perfect, make or formation]. (

عَمَمٌ. (

Táïfee.) You say also كَلِمَةٌ تَامَّةٌ, and دَعْوَهٌ تَامَّةٌ; [meaning A perfect, or faultless, sentence, and oath;] using the
epithet تامّة in these instances because of the mention of God therein; for which reason there may not be in aught of either of them any deficiency or defect. (
TA.) And ↓ جَعَلَهُ تِمًّا i. e. ↓ تَمَامًا [He made it complete, or perfect]. (
M.) And ↓ جَعَلْتُهُ لَكَ تِمًّا I made it, or have made it, to be thine, or I assigned it, or have assigned it, to thee, completely, or wholly. (
T.)
b2: [Hence, فِعْلٌ تَامٌّ meaning A complete, i. e. an attributive, verb: opposed to فِعْلٌ نَاقِصٌ.]
تَتِمَّةٌ: see تَمَامٌ, in three places, at the close of the paragraph.

M:) or that is at the point of bringing forth. (
TA.) مُتَمِّمٌ One whose arrow wins time after time [in the game called المَيْسِر], and who feeds the poor with the flesh [of the camel which constitutes the shares] thereof: (
M,
K:) or who, when players in the game called الميسر have diminished the slaughtered camel [by taking their shares], takes what has remained, so as to complete the shares, or make up their full number. (
K. [See 2. In the
CK, نَقَصَ اِيْسارَ جَزُوْرِ المَيْسِرِ is erroneously put for نَقَصَ أَيْسَارٌ جَزُورَ المَيْسِرِ.]) الجَهَالَةُ المُسْتَتَمَّةُ Consummate ignorance: improperly written المُسْتَتِمَّةُ, though this latter is explainable [as meaning that completes the extent to which it can go, or the like]. (
Mgh.) مُسْتَتِمٌّ One who seeks, demands, or requests, wool, or camels' hair, to complete therewith the weaving of his كِسَآء: so in a poem of Aboo-Duwád, (
S,) where he says, فَهْىَ كَالبَيْضِ فِى الأَدَاحِىِّ لَا يُوْ هَبُ مِنْهَا لِمُسْتَتِمٍّ عِصَامُ i. e., And they (referring to certain camels) are, in respect of the care that is taken of them, and in smoothness, like the eggs [in the places where the ostrich has deposited them in the sand]; there may not be found upon them to be given from them, to one who demands a تِمَّة, [even so much as] a tie for a water-skin; for they have become fat, and cast their hair. (
TA.)
