رمن
رُمَّانٌ [The pomegranate;] a certain fruit, (
T,) the produce of a certain tree, (
M,) well known: (
T,
S,
M,
K:)
n. un. with ة: (
S,
M,
Msb,
K:) the sweet sort thereof relaxes the state of the bowels, and cough; the sour sort has the contrary effect; and that which is between sweet and sour is good for inflammation of the stomach, and pain of the heart: the رمّان has six flavours, like the apple; and is commended for its delicacy, its quick dissolving, and its niceness, or its elegance: (
K:) رُمَّانٌ is of the measure فُعْلَانٌ
accord. to
Sb: (
M in art. رم:)
Kh, being asked by
Sb respecting الرُّمَّان, (
S,) or [rather] respecting رُمَّان, (
M in art. رم,) when used as a proper name, (
S,) said that he declined it imperfectly (
S,
M) when [thus made] determinate; (
S;) and that he made it to accord to the majority, because its derivation is unknown, (
S,
M, *) i. e., that he regarded its ا and ن as augmentative: (
S:) but
accord. to
Akh, the ن is radical, (
S,) [i. e.] he held it to be of the measure فُعَّالٌ, making it to accord to many similar names of plants, (
M,) like حُمَّاضٌ &c., (
S,
M,) فُعَّالٌ being more common than فُعْلَان; (
S;) he meant, as applied to plants; for otherwise the
contr. is the case: (
TA:) [
Fei says,] the measure is فُعَّالٌ, the ن being radical, and therefore the word is perfectly
decl., unless when used as a proper name, in which case it is imperfectly
decl., being made to accord to the majority [of proper names ending with ا and ن, as عُثْمَانُ &c.]. (
Msb.) [Freytag mentions several varieties of رمّان, as follows: but the names, as given by him and here transcribed, require verification or correction: “ رمان القسطيسى, رمان المرسى, رمان العدسى, رمان الخزاينى, رمان الترحين, رمان المرونى, qui ad speciem dulcium pertinent: tum رمان شعرى dulce et corticem tenuissimum habens: رمان امليسى Malum Punicum maximum, esu gratissimum et acinorum expers: رمان السحى, رمان الدلوى, رمان الدوارى, sunt minoris magnitudinis, formæ rotundæ: رمان السفريا Malum Punicum magnitudine et sapore præstantissimum, a viro Sefri dicto ita appellatum, quod a Syria Cordubam regnante Abd-Alrahmano hanc speciem transtulerat: ” and he refers to “ Casiri, Bibl. Ar. Hisp.
T. i. p. 329; and Avicenn.
