A4: [Golius adds the signification of “ Tormentum, supplicium,” as from the KL, in my copy of which the only explanation given is عفونتى كه به درخت خرما رسد “ a rottenness that infects a palm-tree: ” he seems to have found in his copy of that work عقوبتى, either alone, or followed by some words imperfectly written.]

(دمو or دمى) 1 دَمِىَ, (T, S, M, MA, Msb, K,) [held by some to be originally دَمِوَ,] like رَضِىَ, (S, K,) which is from الرِّضْوَانُ, being thus [with ى] because of the kesreh, (S,) [but most hold the last radical to be ى,] and دَمَى, (TA as from the Msb, [but not in my copy of the latter work,]) aor. ـْ inf. n. دَمًا or دَمًى (T, S, M, MA, Msb, K) and دُمِىٌّ, (S, MA, [but in the Msb it seems to be indicated that it is دَمَىٌ,]) said of a thing, (S,) or of a wound, (Msb,) and دَمِيَتْ said of the arm or hand, (T,) It bled; blood issued from it: (Msb:) [and] it was, or became, bloody; i. e., smeared, or defiled, with blood. (MA.) 2 دَمَّيْتُهُ, (S, M, K,) inf. n. تَدْمِيَةٌ, (S,) i. q. ↓ أَدْمَيْتُهُ, (S, M, K,) i. e. [I made him to bleed;] I struck him, or smote him, so that blood issued from him: (S:) [and I made him bloody; for]

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. (TA in that art.) b2: دمّى المَاشِيَةَ (assumed tropical:) It (pasture, or herbage,) fattened the cattle so as to make them like what are termed دُمًى [pl. of دُمْيَةٌ]. (M.) b3: دَمَّيْتُ لَهُ, inf. n. as above, (tropical:) I made a way easy to him. (K, TA.) b4: (assumed tropical:) I made, or brought, [a thing] near to him. (K.)

(Th, M.) 4 أَ1ْ2َ3َ see 2.10 استدمى He (a man) stooped his head, blood dropping from it; (M;) as also اِسْتَدَامَ, formed by transposition from استدمى. (Kr, TA in art. دوم.) A2: استدمى غَرِيمَهُ (assumed tropical:) He acted gently with his debtor; as also اِسْتَدَامَهُ: (Fr, M and K in art. دوم:) judged [by ISd] to be formed by transposition from the latter. (M in that art.) b2: استدمى مَوَدَّتَهُ He looked, or watched, or waited, for his love, or affection: [formed by transposition] from اِسْتَدَامَ. (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. (TA.) دَمُ فُلَانٍ فِى ثَوْبِ فُلَانٍ is a saying of the Arabs, meaning (assumed tropical:) Such a one is the slayer of such a one. (Ham p. 632.) الدَّمُ الدَّمُ وَالهَدْمُ الهَدْمُ, or وَالهَدَمَ الهَدَمَ, is a saying of the Arabs, meaning If thy blood be sought, my blood shall be sought; and if thy blood go for nought, my blood shall go for nought: or, accord. to the latter reading, as is said in the Nh, and where thou shalt be buried, I will be buried: or thine abode shall be mine abode. (JM in art. هدم, q. v.) See also an ex. voce دُمْيَةٌ. b2: دَمُ الأَخَوَيْنِ [The red, resinous, inspissated juice called dragon's blood;] what is called العَنْدَمُ; (S;) i. q. دَمُ الغَزَالِ; (K voce مَظٌّ;) now called القَاطِرُ الَمِكّىُّ; or a species thereof; (TA;) [vulgarly قَطْر مَكَّة; and also called دَمُ الثُّعْبَانِ;] what is called in Pers\. خُون سِيَاوُشَان (K.) b3: دَمُ الغِزْلَانِ A certain herb, or leguminous plant, having a beautiful blossom: (M, K:) accord. to Lth, الغِزْلَانِ ↓ دُمْيَةُ is the name of a certain herb, or leguminous plant, having a blossom.

الدَّمَى, said to be the original form of الدَّمُ: see دَمٌ.

دَمٍ Bleeding; having blood issuing from it: (S, * Msb:) [and] bloody; i. e. smeared, or defiled, with blood: and ↓ دَامٍ signifies the same [in both senses]. (MA.) دُمْيَةٌ An image, or effigy, (S, M, Mgh, K,) of ivory and the like, (S,) or of marble, (M, K,) variegated, decorated, embellished, or coloured, (M, Mgh, K,) in which is redness like blood: (Mgh:) or an image, or effigy, in a general sense: (Kr, M, K:) accord. to Abu-I-'Alà, because originally painted with red, as though from الدَّمُ: and any beautiful female is likened thereto, because adorned: (TA:) metonymically applied to (tropical:) a woman: (IAar, T:) or anything that is deemed beautiful in respect of whiteness: (TA:) and an idol: (Lth, S, K:) said in the R to be so called because of the shedding of blood at the place thereof for the purpose of propitiation; but MF says that this derivation requires consideration: more probably because it is decorated: (TA:) pl. دُمًى. (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. (TA.) b2: The pl., دُمًى, also signifies Garments upon which are pictures or effigies. (S.) b3: See also دَمٌ, last sentence but two.

دِمْيَةٌ: see the next preceding paragraph.

دَمْيَآءُ, as in the Tekmileh; in the K, erroneously, ↓ دَامِيَآء, (TA,) Good, or good fortune, and prosperity. (K, * TA.) دَمِىٌّ [Of, or relating to, blood;] rel. n. from دَمٌ; as also ↓ دَمَوِىٌّ. (S.) b2: [In the phrase خذ ما دمّى, in Freytag's Lex., دمىّ is a mistake for دَمَّى: see 2, last sentence.]

دُمَىٌّ dim. of دَمٌ, q. v. (S.) دَمَوِىٌّ: see دَمِىٌّ.

الدَّمَوِيَّةُ, meaning Hectic fever (حُمَّى الدِّقِّ) is a vulgar word of the dial. of Egypt. (TA.) دَامٍ: see دَمٍ. [And see the next paragraph.] b2: دَامِى الشَّفَةِ, (M, K,) applied to a man, (M,) [lit. Having a bleeding lip,] means (tropical:) poor. (M, K, TA.) b3: شَجَرَةٌ دَامِيَةٌ (assumed tropical:) A beautiful tree.

دَامِيَآء: see دَمْيَآءَ.

مُدَمًّى Red; applied to a garment, or piece of cloth: (M:) or anything in the colour of which is blackness and redness: (T:) [of a dark red colour, like blood:] or anything intensely red: (S:) applied in this last sense [particularly] to a horse &c.: (S, K:) or, applied to a horse, of a sorrel colour (أَشْقَرُ) intensely red, like the colour of blood: (T:) or, so applied, of an intense sorrel colour: (M:) and كُمَيْتٌ مُدَمًّى of an intensely red bay colour: (S, TA:) or of an intense red colour like that of blood: (TA:) or intensely red in the back [and] as far as the thin and soft parts of the belly: and أَشْقَرُ مُدَمًّى of which the sorrel colour is overspread, in its upper portion, with a yellowness like the colour of the yellow [or gilded] bay: (A 'Obeyd, T:) and لَوْنٌ مُدَمًّى a colour in which is blackness. (M.) سَهْمٌ مُدَمًّى

An arrow upon which is the redness of blood (S, K) that has adhered to it so that it inclines to blackness: a man, when he shot at the enemy with an arrow, and hit, and the enemy then shot it at him with blood upon it, used to put it in his quiver, auguring good from it: or, as some say, it means an arrow which the archers shoot by turns, one at another; an explanation reducible to that before mentioned: (S:) or an arrow which one shoots at his enemy and the latter then shoots at the former: (M:) or an arrow shot once. (T.) مُسْتَدْمٍ Having blood dropping from the nose, while stooping the head. (As, S, K.) b2: (assumed tropical:) One who draws forth his debt from his debtor with gentleness. (As, S, K.)

سرع

1 سَرُعَ, aor. ـُ inf. n. سِرَعٌ (S, Msb, K) and سَرَعٌ (TA [and mentioned in the K, but app. as a simple subst.,]) and سِرْعٌ and سَرْعٌ and سَرَاعَةٌ (TA) and سُرْعَةٌ, (K,) or this last is a simple subst. from أَسْرَعَ, (Msb,) [but it is also generally used as syn. with the inf. ns. before mentioned when they are employed as simple substs., and is more common than any of them,] He, or it, was quick, expeditious, hasty, speedy, rapid, swift, or fleet: [in course, tendency, action, speech, &c.:] (S, K:) or, said of a man, i. q. أَسْرَعَ [which may mean as above, or he hastened, made haste, or sped,] in his speech and in his actions: (IAar, TA:) but Sb makes a difference between سَرُعَ and أَسْرَعَ: see the latter below: (TA:) one says also سَرِعَ, aor. ـَ a dial. var. of سَرُعَ: and ↓ تسرّع, said of an affair, or event, signifies the same as سَرُعَ. (TA.) One says, السِّرَعَ السِّرَعَ like الوَحَآءَ الوَحَآءَ, (S, K,) i. e. [Make thou] haste; or haste to be first, or before, or beforehand: haste; or haste to be first, &c. (S and TA in art. وحى.) And سَرُعَ مَا فَعَلْتَ ذَاكَ, (S, * TA,) and سَرْعَ, which is a contraction of the former; for the Arabs contract by the suppression of dammeh and kesreh because they are difficult of pronunciation, saying فَخْذٌ for فَخِذٌ and عَضْدٌ for عَضْدٌ, but one should not say حَجْرٌ for حَجَرٌ, (S, TA,) or the like, accord. to the Basrees, though the Koofees allow the contraction in the case of fet-hah also, as in سَلْفَ for سَلَفَ; (M in art. سلف;) and one says also سُرْعَ, as a contraction of سَرُعَ; all meaning سَرْعَانَ [i. e. Quick was thy doing that: or how quick was thy doing that! or, which is nearly the same, excellently quick was thy doing that; for سَرُعَ is similar to قَضُوَ and رَمُوَ, denoting excellence]. (TA.) 2 سَرَّعَ see 4.3 مُسَارَعَةٌ signifies The hastening with another; or vying, or striving, with another, in hastening; or hastening to be, or get, before another or others; (S, K;) إِلَى شَىْءٍ to a thing; (S;) as also ↓ تَسَارُعٌ; syn. مُبَادَرَةٌ; (S, K;) with which, also, [not, however, as it is expl. above, but in the sense of بُدُورٌ, i. e. simply the hastening to a thing,] ↓ إِسْرَاعٌ is syn. (TA.) One says, سَارَعُوا

إِلَى كَذَا and إِلَيْهِ ↓ تسارعوا, [They hastened, one with another, &c., to such a thing,] both signifying the same. (S.) And [of a single person,] سارع إِلَى الشَّىْءِ He hastened to the thing; syn. بادر. (Msb.) And it is said in the Kur [iii. 127], وَسَارِعُوا إِلَى مَغْفِرَةٍ مِنْ رَبِّكُمْ [And vie ye, one with another, in hastening to obtain forgiveness from your Lord]. (TA.) And again, [iii. 170,] الَّذِينَ يُسَارِعُونَ فِى الكُفْرِ Who fall into unbelief hastily, or quickly, (Bd, Jel,) and eagerly. (Bd.) 4 اسرع is originally trans.; (S, K;) [signifying He quickened, or hastened, himself, or his going, &c.;] and hence the saying, in a trad., إِذَا مَرَّ

أَحَدُكُمْ بِطِرْبَالٍ مَائِلٍ فَلْيُسْرِعِ المَشْىَ [When any one of you passes by a high wall, or the like, that is inclining, let him quicken, or hasten, the pace, or going]. (K, * TA.) But [it is used also elliptically, as meaning He hastened, in an intrans. sense; he made haste; he sped; he went quickly; and hence] you say, اسرع فِى السَّيْرِ, (S, K,) like سَرُعَ [He was quick, expeditious, hasty, speedy, rapid, swift, or fleet, in going, journeying, or pace]: (K:) or [rather he hastened, made haste, or sped, therein; for] اسرع signifies he endeavoured, or sought, and affected, to be quick, &c., as though he hastened the pace, or going; but ↓ سَرُعَ denotes what is as it were an innate quality: (Sb:) the verb being originally trans., when you say of one اسرع فى السير it is as though [meaning] he urged himself forward with haste; or he quickened, or hastened, the pace, or going; and it is only because the meaning is understood by the persons addressing one another, that the objective complement is not expressed: (Lth, K:) or the verb may be trans. by means of a particle and without a particle: or when made immediately trans., the phrase may be meant to be understood as elliptical. (TA.) [Accord. to Fei,] اسرع فِى

مَشْيِهِ, &c., inf. n. إِسْرَاعٌ, is originally اسرع مَشْيَهُ [He quickened, or hastened, his pace, or going]; فى being redundant; or اسرع الحَرَكَةَ فِى مَشْيِهِ [he quickened, or hastened, the motion in his going]: and اسرع إِلَيْهِ means اسرع المُضِىَّ إِلَيْهِ [he quickened, or hastened, the going to him]. (Msb.) ↓ سرّع is syn. with اسرع. (TA.) And you say, إِلَى الشَّرِّ ↓ تسرّع, (S, K,) meaning He hastened, or made haste, to [do] evil, or mischief; (K;) as also تزرّع. (Sgh and K in art. زرع.) And ↓ تسرّع بِالأَمْرِ He hastened to do the thing, or affair; syn. بَادَرَ بِهِ. (TA.) See also 3. b2: اسرع إِلَيْهِ occurs in a trad. as meaning He was quick, or hasty, in being angry with him, or in blaming him, or in reviling him. (Mgh.) b3: اسرع بِهِ: see [its contr.] بَطَّأَ بِهِ. b4: أَسْرَعُوا signifies also, Their beasts on which they rode were, or became, quick, swift, or fleet. (Az, S, K.) A2: مَا أَسْرَعَ مَا صَنَعْتَ كَذَا [How quick was thy doing that!]. (S, K.) 5 تَسَرَّعَ see 1 and 4; the latter in two places.6 تَسَاْرَعَ see 3, in two places.

سَرْعٌ [originally an inf. n. of سَرُعَ, like سِرْعٌ and سَرَعٌ accord. to the TA]: see سَرِيعٌ, in two places.

سَرَعٌ: see [1 and] سُرْعَةٌ.

سَرِعٌ: see سَرِيعٌ.

سُرْعَةٌ Quickness, expedition, haste, speed, rapidity, swiftness, or fleetness; [of course, tendency, action, speech, &c.;] (S, K;) as also ↓ سَرَعٌ; (K;) [the former said in the K, and the latter in the TA, to be an inf. n. of سَرُعَ:] and a hastening, making haste, or speeding; i. q. إِسْرَاعٌ [inf. n. of 4]; (TA;) or a subst. therefrom. (Msb.) You say, عَجِبْتُ مِنْ سُرْعَةِ ذَاكَ [I wondered at the quickness, &c., of that]. (S.) سَرْعَانَ and سُرْعَانَ and سِرْعَانَ (S, K) and ↓ سَرُعَانَ, the last with damm to the ر (IAar,) occurring in the phrase سرعانَ ذَا خُرُوجًا, (IAar, S, K,) meaning سَرُعَ ذَا خُرُوجًا [Quick is this in coming forth: or how quick is this in coming forth! or, which is nearly the same, excellently quick &c.], (S, K,) are dial. vars., changed from the original form, which is سَرُعَ, and, for this reason, (S,) made indecl., with the final vowel of سَرُعَ for their termination. (S, K.) The word سرعان is used as a simple enunciative [placed before its inchoative], and also as an enunciative denoting wonder: [see بُطْآنَ:] and hence the saying, (K,) لَسَرْعَانَ مَا صَنَعْتَ كَذَا How quick was thy doing that! (S, K.) The saying سَرَعَانَ ذَا إِهَالَةٌ originated from the fact that a man had a lean ewe, her snivel running from her nostrils by reason of her leanness, and it being said to him “ What is this? ” he answered, “Her grease: ” whereupon the asker said as above: the last word is in the accus. case as a denotative of state; and the meaning is, Quick, or how quick, is this snivel [coming forth] in the state of melted grease! or the last word is a specificative, under the supposition that the action is transferred [from its proper agent, which thus becomes a specificative], as in the phrase تَصَبَّبَ زَيْدٌ عَرَقًا; and the meaning to be understood is, Quick, or how quick, is the melted grease of this! the saying is applied to him who tells of a thing's coming to pass before its time: (O, K:) it is a prov. (TA.) A2: سَرْعَانُ; and its fem., سَرْعَى: see سَرِيعٌ, in two places: see also the paragraph here next following, in two places, سَرَعَانُ النَّاسِ, (S, Mgh, Msb, K,) and ↓ سَرْعَانُ الناس, (IAar, K,) The first, or foremost, of the men, or people, (IAar, S, Mgh, Msb, K,) striving, one with another, to be the first to do a thing; (K;) so says As, with reference to soldiers hastening: (TA:) the former word in this phrase is [distinguished from سَرْعَانَ in being] declinable in every case: (S:) in two trads. in which the phrase occurs, we find it differently related, سَرَعَان and سُرْعَان; the latter being pl. of سَرِيعٌ. (TA.) سَرَعَانُ الخَيْلِ, also, signifies The first or foremost, of the horsemen, and sometimes they said الخيل ↓ سَرْعَانُ. (K.) Abu-l-'Abbás says that when سرعان is an epithet applied to men, it has both of the above-mentioned forms; but when applied to others, the former is the more chaste, though the latter is allowable. (TA.) سَرُعَانَ: see سَرْعَانَ.

سُرَاعٌ; and its fem., with ة: see what next follows, in three places.

سَرِيعٌ Quick, expeditious, hasty, speedy, rapid, swift, or fleet; [in course, tendency, action, speech, &c.;] (S, Msb, * TA;) as also ↓ سَرِعٌ [and ↓ سَرْعٌ] and ↓ سُرَاعٌ, of which the fem. is with ة, and ↓ سَرْعَانُ, of which the fem. is سَرْعَى; (TA;) i. q. ↓ مُسْرِعٌ, (K,) which signifies as above; (TA;) [and which also signifies hastening, making haste, or speeding;] and ↓ مِسْرَعٌ, also, signifies quick, &c., (سَرِيع,) to [do] good or evil: (K:) the pl. of سريع is سُرْعَانٌ, (K,) and سِرَاعٌ is [also a pl. of the same,] syn. with مُسْرِعُونَ. (Msb.) You say, فَرَسٌ سَرِيعٌ and ↓ سُرَاعٌ [A quick, swift, or fleet, horse]: (IB:) and ↓ حِجْرٌ سُرَاعَةٌ meaning سَرِيعَةٌ [a quick, swift, or fleet, mare]. (K.) and ↓ اِسْعَ عَلَى رِجْلِكَ السَّرْعَى [Go thou quickly; lit. go thou, or walk thou, or run thou, upon thy quick, or swift, leg]. (Fr.) And ↓ جَآءَ سَرْعًا meaning سَرِيعًا [He, or it, came quickly, hastily, speedily, &c.]. (TA.) And God is said [in the Kur ii. 198, &c.] to be سَرِيعُ الحِسَابِ [Quick in reckoning], meaning that his reckoning will inevitably come to pass; or that one reckoning will not divert Him from another reckoning, nor one thing from another thing; or that his actions are quick, none of them being later than He desireth, because it is done without manual operation and without effort, so that He will reckon with mankind, after raising them from death and congregating them, in the twinkling of an eye, without numbering, or calculating: (K:) and [in like manner He is said in the same, chap. vi., last verse, to be] سَرِيعُ العِقَابِ [quick in punishing]. (El-Mufradát, B.) b2: Also A certain kind of going, or pace; coupled with سُنْبُكٌ, which signifies another kind thereof. (Ibn-Habeeb, TA.) b3: [السَّرِيعُ The ninth metre (بَحْر) in prosody, in which each hemistich originally consisted of مُسْتَفْعِلُنْ مُسْتَفْعِلُنْ مَفْعُولَاتُ.] b4: And أَبُو سَرِيعٍ

The [shrub called] عَرْفَج: or the fire that is therein. (K. [See زَحْفَةٌ.]) A2: Also A shoot, or twig, that falls from the بَشَام [or tree of the balsam of Mekkeh]: pl. سِرْعَانٌ and سُرْعَانٌ. (K.) أَسْرَعُ [More, and most, quick, expeditious, hasty, speedy, rapid, swift, or fleet, of course, tendency, action, speech, &c.]. [It is said, of God, in the Kur vi. 62,] وَهُوَ أَسْرَعُ الحَاسِبِينَ [And He is the quickest of the reckoners]. (K.) [The fem.] سُرْعَى is applied to a she-camel by Honeyf El-Hanátim [as meaning Surpassingly quick or fleet]. (IAar, TA in art. بهى.) مُسْرِعٌ: see سَرِيعٌ.
