زلنفج (؟):
ثمر شجر البلوط ويسمى بهشى وهو باليونانية برينس (انظر الكلمة) أي برينوس. وهكذا كتبت هذه الكلمة في مخطوطة أمن ابن البيطار (1: 183) وكذلك في مخطوطة ب، غير أن كلمة برينس وردت فيها خالية من النقط. وعند سونثيمر: راسح، وفي طبعة بولاق: راتينج.
زمّ زَمّ: رَمَّ، أصلح. يقال مثلاً: زَمّ الجدار (فوك، كرتاس، ص22، 100).
كزَمَّ الثوب: ضيقه (محيط المحيط).
زَمّ شفتيه: ضيقهما (محيط المحيط).
زمّ: احتمل، قاسى، كابد (فوك، ألكالا)، وآلَم: يقال شيء يزُم أي يؤلم (ألكالا).
وزمَّ: سجّل، والمصدر زَمّ وزِمَام. في كتاب محمد بن الحارث (ص237): وأمر الكاتب بزم اسمه ومسكنه، وفي (ص3238) منه: فكان أوَّل قاضٍ ضمَّ أهل الفقه المشيرين عليه في اقضيته إلى ضبط فتياهم وزمام رأيهم بخط أيديهم.
زمَّم (بالتشديد): دَوَّن، سجّل، قيّد (ألكالا، بوشر، هلو، شيرب). وفي المخطوطة المجهولة الهوية في مكتبة كوبنهاغن (ص86): زمَّم الجنود.
وزمّم: احتمل، قاسى، كابد (ألكالا)، وفيه: الفعل المضالرع تزمم الماضي زَمّمت، والأمر زمّم.
زَمّ وجمعها زُمُوم: مقاطعة الأكراد، وفي كل زمّ عدد من القرى أو المدن (دي سلان المقدمة 1: 133 رقم3).
زَمّ: الصبر على الألم، التصبر، الاحتمال (ألكالا).
زِمام: عنان، ومجازاً القيادة والإدارة (بوشر).
قيادة الأَزِمّة: وظيفة قائد الفرسان، ففي تاريخ تونس (ص115): فولاَّة قيادة أزمة الأَعْراب وكان من أهل الكفاءة والنجدة.
زمام: سجل، قائمة، لائحة، وأوارجة، وبخاصة سجل تدون فيه أسماء الجنود. وقد ذكرت أمثلة كثيرة على هذا المعنى في (عباد 1: 74 وما يليها، 427، 2: 263، معجم البيان)، ويمكن أن تضيف على المواد التي نقلتها من ألكالا ما معناه سجل، قائمة. وأضف هذا إلى عبارات كرتاس (ص44) وإلى ما ذكره ابن بطوطة (4: 251، 285)، وانظر أيضاً معجم ابن جبير، ودومب (ص78 فهارس)، وهلو (فهرس، مواد الكتاب) ومباحث (1) والملحق (ص65)، وفهرسي للمخطوطات الشرقية في مكتبة ليدن (1: 164)، والمقري (3: 164).
وفي مخطوطة كوبنهاجن المجهولة الهوية (ص39): وطلب منه إحضار تقيدات المجاي وأزمتها، والصواب تقييدات المجابي وأزمتها.
وعند بوشر زمام البلاد: تقويم أملاك البلاد ومسحها وتثمينها، وزمام العقارات: سجل الأملاك والأراضي، وزمام الغلط: سجل تصحيح الأغلاط، وزمام الإيراد والمصروف: سجل حساب الدخل والصرف.
والمؤلفون المتقدمون يطلقون اسم ديوان على دائرة المالية التي تتولى الإشراف على الدخل والصرف. ففي الماوردي (ص369): كاتب الديوان وهو صاحب زمامه، وهذا هو الصواب بدل ذمامة كما نشر السيد انجر. وفي البلاذري (ص464) نجد ديوان الزمام والخاتم، وفي ابن خلكان (10: 72) وفي الفخري (ص347): ديوان الزمام، وفي التنبيه والإشراف للمسعودي (نقل في مملوك 1، 2: 66): ديوان الأَزِمَّة ودواوين الأزمة أي الدائرة التي تتولى الإشراف على هذا السجل أي دائرة المالية، وفي التنبيه أيضاً: وَلِيَ الأزمة والخاتم. ونجد عند البلاذري (ص 464) وفي المقري (1: 134): صاحب الزمام أي رئيس دائرة المالية أو وزير المالية. انظر كذلك عبارة أبي المحاسن (1: 435) التي سبق نقلها.
غير أن صاحب الزمام أخذ يطلق في العصور الحديثة في المشرق ومصر على معنى أخر، فيراد به الشخص الذي يسمى أيضاً زمام الدار أو زمام الآدُر أي رئيس خصيان السراي، إذ نجد في عبارة من رحلة ابن جبير (ص292) أن خصياً أسود من مماليك الخليفة المعتضد العباسي قد صار صاحب الزمام وكذلك زمام الدار أيضاً، وهذه العبارة تجعل أصل اصطلاح زمام الدار وزمام الآدر أكثر غموضاً مما كان.
ويرى أبو المحاسن (كما نقل عنه في مملوك 1، 2: 66) أنه يجب كتابتها عادة زمام دار، ودار هذه تعني من يتولى التصرف، غير أن مؤلف ديوان الانشا (مملوك 1، 2: 66) يرى خلافاً له أنها تحريف زنان دار أي حارس النساء. وأرى ما يراه كاترمير أن هذين القولين في أصل الكلمة غير مقبولين، ويرى هذا العالم الجليل أن كلمة زمام تعني معناها الأصلي وهو العنان والحبل الذي يقاد به ثم توسع في استعماله فأصبح يدل على من يدير الشيء أي المدير فهو إذن مدبر أمر القصر ومديره. وفي الواقع فإن كلمة زمام تدل على هذا، وليس تدل، كما يزعم مؤلف ديوان الإنشاء على معنى قائد، فهذا المعنى معنى مجازي للكلمة جاء في فصيح اللغة فقد أشار لين نقلاً عن تاج العروس إلى قولهم: هو زمام قومه أي قائدهم ومقدمهم وصاحب أمرهم، وهم أزمة قومهم أي قوادهم ومقدموهم وأصحاب أمرهم. ويذكر كاترمير أمثلة يمكن أن تضاف إليها هذه الأمثلة التي زودني بها أماري: يقول أبو المحاسن (1: 435) في سنة 162 للهجرة أنشأ المهدي الخليفة العباسي دواوين الأزمة ولم تكن في أيام الأمويين، ومعنى الكلمة أن يكون لكل ديوان زمام وهو رجل يضبطه وقد كانت الدواوين مختلطة من قبل ذلك، ويقول المقريزي (1: 99) طبعة بولاق: متولي ديوان المجلس وهو زمام الدواوين، وفي (ص403) منه: الاسفهسلار وهو زمام كل زمام وإليه أمور الأجناد. أما صاحب الزمام التي يذكرها ابن جبير بمعنى زمام الدار فأرى على الرغم من دلالتها على نفس الشخص، فإنها في الأصل تدل الموظف الذي يتولى سجل نساء السراي. وأخيراً فإن كلمة زمام تستعمل للدلالة على رئيس خصيان السراي، كما في فاكهة الخلفا وألف ليلة (برسل 7: 28) وفيها الزمام الخاص = الحاجب الكبير في طبعة ماكن (2: 51).
زمام: سند، وثيقة اعتراف بالدين (فوك)، وانظر دوكانج ( cautis رقم 1).
زمام: مقطعة من الخشب تستعمل لربط الآخرين وإخضاعهم (فلقة) (معجم الإسبانية ص 251).
زَمِيم: هينمة، دنين، طنين (هلو، باين سميث 1132).
زُمِيم: مُكابَد، مُقاسى (ألكالا).
زِمَامَة: زمام، سجل، دفتر الحساب (همبرت ص100). زمامي: جندي مسجل في ديوان الجند (ابن بطوطة 3: 188، 193، 4: 47).
زِمَامِيّة: وظيفة الزشمام أي رئيس خصيان السراي (مملوك 1، 2: 65).
زَمَّام: محتمل، مكابد، مقاسي (فوك).
ريح زمَّام: ريح عاصف (فوك).
زَمَّامَة: رباط سراويل المرأة في أعلى ساقها (محيط المحيط).

مَزَمّ: حصن على حدود البلاد، ثغر (بوشر، دي ساسي طرائف 2: 7).
مَزمّ وجمعه مزمات: قلادة (فوك).
مَزْمُوم: الوتر الأول في العود (ألكالا).
مَزْمُوم: لحن من ألحان الــموسيقى (سلفادور ص30)، ولعلها تصحيف مزمور عند هوست (ص258).

فك

1 الفَكُّ, accord. to Er-Rághib, primarily signifies التَّفْرِيجُ [i. e. The opening a thing; and particularly by diduction, or so as to form an intervening space, or a gap, or breach]. (TA.)

(Lth, S, TA.) And He broke [or broke open] a seal, i. e. a sealed piece of clay or wax; (Mgh, Msb, * TA;) in relation to which ↓ يَفْتَكُّهُ occurs as meaning يَفُكُّهُ, though we have not heard it [as a classical expression in this sense]. (Mgh.) b2: And فَكَّ العَظْمَ, (Mgh, Msb,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (Msb,) He dislocated the bone; put it out of joint. (Mgh, Msb.) [This, or the like, is what is meant by its being said that] الفَكُّ in the hand, or arm, is [i. e. denotes] less than الكَسْرُ. (K.) b3: And فَكَّ يَدَهُ, (K, TA,) aor. and inf. n. as above, (TA,) He opened, or unclosed, his hand from what was in it: (K, TA:) so in the M.

(Mgh.) b5: And فَكَكْتُ signifies also I loosed, set loose or free, or let go, anything. (Msb.) b6: [Hence,] فَكَّ الأَسِيرُ, (Msb, K,) aor. ـُ (TA,) inf. n. فَكٌّ and فَكَاكٌ and فِكَاكٌ, (K,) (tropical:) He liberated, or set free, the captive.

(S, O, Msb, K, TA.) فَكُّ الرَّقَبَةِ is expl. in a trad. as meaning (assumed tropical:) The assisting in paying the price [of the slave when one is unable to pay the whole of the price]. (O, TA.) In the Kur [xc. 13], فَكُّ رَقَبَةٍ is said by some to mean (assumed tropical:) The emancipating of a slave: and by some. (assumed tropical:) the man's emancipating himself from subjection to God's punishment by the confession of the unity of God and by righteous doing and then by teaching the same to others. (TA,) فُكَّ فُلَانٌ means (assumed tropical:) Such a one was set free, and at rest, from a thing. (IAar, Th, TA.) b7: [Hence also,] one says, هُوَ يَفُكُّ المَشَاكِلَ (assumed tropical:) [He solves] the things, or affairs, that are dubious, or confused. (TA in art. شكل.) b8: قَدْفَكَّ وَفَرَّجَ is said of a very old man, meaning فَرَّجَ لَحْيَيْهِ [i. e. He has parted his jaws, by hanging the lower jaw in consequence of weakness]; as is the case in extreme old age. (S, O,) And [hence.] فَكَّ, (Az, S, O, K,) aor. ـُ inf. n. فَكٌّ and فُكُوكٌ, (Az, S, O,) said of a man, means (assumed tropical:) He was, or became, extremely aged, or old and weak. (Az, S, O, K.) [Or فَكَّ thus used may be from الفَكُّ signifying “ the jaw: ” and so what next follows.] b9: فَكَكْتُ الصَّبِىَّ I put medicine into the mouth of the boy or young male child [opening his jaws for that purpose]. (S, O.) A2: قَدْ فَكِكْتَ, [third Pers\. فَكَّ,] aor. ـَ inf. n. فَكَكٌ, Thou hast become such as is termed أَفَكُّ i. e. one whose مَنْكِب [here meaning shoulder-bone] has become unknit, or loosened, (اِنْفَرَجَ,) from its joint, in consequence of weakness and flaccidity. (S.) [See also فَكَكٌ below.] b2: And قَدْفَكِكْتَ, aor. ـَ (S, O, K;) and فَكُكْتَ, (O, K,) a verb of a very rare form, [respecting which see دَمَّ, last sentence,] (MF, TA,) aor. ـُ (O, K;) inf. n. فَكَّةٌ (S, O, K) and فَكٌّ also; (TA;) (tropical:) Thou hast become foolish, or stupid, and soft, flaccid, or languid.

(O, K.) b2: And افكّ مِنَ الحِبَالَةِ He (a gazelle) got loose from the snare into which he had fallen. (TA: also mentioned, but not expl., in the O.) 5 تفكّك It (a thing) became much, or widely, separated: and became unclosed. (O, TA.) b2: تفكّكت السَّفِينَةُ The ship parted asunder; became disjointed; became separated in its places of joining.

[he was, or became, loose in the joints; or] he shook his shoulder-joints and his arms, and made signs with them. (TA in that art.) 7 انفكّ It became separated: you say, انفكّ الشَّىْءُ مِنَ الشَّىْءِ The thing became separated from the thing: (O, TA:) and اِنْفَكَكْتُ مِنْكَ [I became separated from thee].

[And it is also used in relation to a member of the body:] one says, سَقَطَ فُلَانٌ فانْفَكَّتْ قَدَمُهُ أَوْ

إِصْبَعُهُ i. e. اِنْفَرَجَتْ وَزَالَتْ [Such a one fell, and his foot, or his finger, became unknit, or loosened, and dislocated]: (S, O:) [or] انفكّت قَدَمُهُ means زَالَتْ [i. e. his foot became dislocated; and انفكّت إصْبَعُهُ means اِنْفَرَجَتْ [i. e. his finger became unknit, or loosened in a joint].

(TA voce اِنْفَرَكَ.) b5: And لَايَنْفَكُّ عَنْ قُبْحِ فِعْلِهِ (assumed tropical:) [He will not desist from his evil doing]. (O and K in art. عرف.) A2: [It is also used in the sense and manner of the non-attributive verb زَالَ; respecting which see art. زيل.] One says, مَاانْفَكَّ فُلَانٌ قَائِمًا, meaning مَازَالَ قَائِمًا [i. e. Such a one ceased not to be, or continued to be, standing]. (S, O.) And مَاانْفَكَكْتُ أَذْكُرُكَ, meaning مَازِلْتُ

أَذْكُرُكَ I ceased not, or I continued, remembering thee]. (Fr, TA.) And it occurs in a verse of Dhu-r-Rummeh, immediately followed by إِلَّا, which is [said by As and IJ and others to be] redundant. (S, O. [See that verse, and the remarks upon it, in art. الا. p. 78, col. i.]) 8 إِفْتَكَ3َ see 1, former half, in two places.

الفَكُّ The لَحْى [meaning jaw; and also either of the two lateral portions of the lower jaw], (S, O, Msb, K,) i. e.

(Msb.) One says, مَقْتَلُ الرَّجُلِ بَيْنَ فَكَّيْهِ [which may be best rendered The man's slayer is between his two jaws, or two lateral portions of his lower jaw]; (S, O, TA;) meaning the man's tongue: (TA:) a prov., in which مقتل may be [properly] an inf. n., or a noun of place, or an inf. n. used in the place of an act. part. n.: accord. to the third of these explanations, [which most nearly denotes the meaning intended,] it is as though one said, قَاتِلُ الرَّجُلِ بَيْنَ فَكَّيْهِ. (Meyd. [See Freytag's Arab. Prov., ii. 597.]) See also فَكَكٌ.

فَكَّةٌ [an inf. n.: see 1, last sentence].

A2: الفَكَّةُ is the name of One of the northern constellations, [Corona Borealis,] (Kzw,) certain stars, (S, O, K,) eight stars, called in Pers\. كاسه درويشان, (Kzw,) behind السِّمَاك الرَّامِح [i. e. Arcturus], (S, O, K,) [near] behind the staff of الصَّيَّاح [which is a name of Bootes], (Kzw,) having a circling form, (S, O, K, and Kzw,) but with a gap, or breach, in the circling, for which reason, [agreeably with the Pers\. appellation mentioned above,] it is called قَصْعَةُ المَسَاكِينِ [the bowl of the paupers], (Kzw,) this being the name given to it by the children. (As, S, O, K.) فَكَكٌ An unknit, or a loosened, state (اِنْفِرَاج) of the مَنْكِب [or shoulder-joint]. (K. [But see 1, last explanation but one, where it is mentioned as an inf. n.]) b2: And (K) A state of dislocation of the foot: (S, O, K:) hence the phrase, in a verse of Ru-beh, كَمُنْهَاضِ الفَلَكٌ: (S, O: *) but (in this instance, O), accord. to As, الفَلَك is used by poetic license for الفَكّ [meaning “ the jaw,” so that the phrase signifies like him whose jaw has become broken after its having been set]. (S, O.) b3: And A state of fracture of the jaw: (K, TA:) or of dislocation thereof. (TA.) فَكَاكُ الرَّهْنِ and فِكَاكُهُ, (S, O, Msb, * K,) the latter mentioned by Ks (S, O, Msb) and ISk, (Msb,) That wherewith the pledge is, or is to be, redeemed: (S, O, Msb, * K:) so in a verse cited voce غَلَقَ. (S, O.) فَكَّاكٌ [One who separates, &c., much, or often]. b2: [And hence,] فَكَّاكٌ هَكَّاكٌ (tropical:) One who does not make his words and their meanings congruous, or consistent, by reason of his foolishness, or stupidity. (Z, TA.) فَاكٌّ [as an act. part. n., Separating, &c. b2: And] (assumed tropical:) Extremely aged, or old and weak; applied in this sense to a man; (Az, S, O, K;) and also to a camel: (K:) or, applied to a camel, disabled, or fatigued, by leanness, or emaciation: fem. with ة. (En-Nadr, TA.) b3: And (tropical:) Foolish, or stupid: (S, O: *) or very foolish, or stupid: (IAar, K, TA:) and you say فَاكٌّ تَاكٌّ, (IAar, S, O, TA,) making تاكّ an imitative sequent: or, accord. to Yaakoob, you say شَيْخٌ فَاكٌّ وَتَاكٌّ: thus he makes تاكّ a substitute, not an imitative sequent. (TA.) And أَحْمَقُ فَاكٌّ وَهَاكٌّ (tropical:) [A foolish, or stupid, person,] one who talks of that which he knows and of that which he knows not, and is more, or oftener, incorrect than correct. (El-Hoseybee, TA.) Pl. فَكَكَةٌ and فِكَاكٌ. (IAar, K.) أَفَكُّ, (S, K,) or أَفَكُّ المَنْكِبِ, (K,) One whose مَنْكِب [here meaning shoulder-bone] has become unknit, or loosened, (اِنْفَرَجَ,) from its joint, in consequence of weakness and flaccidity. (S, K. * [See also مَفْرُوكٌ.]) b2: And رَجُلٌ أَفَكُّ [A man having the jaw broken]. (TA. [There expl. as signifying مَسْكُورُ الفَكِّ; a mistranscription, for مَكْسُورُالفَكِّ: see فَكَكٌ, last sentence.]) A2: See also الفَكُّ.

مُفِكَّةٌ, applied to a she-camel, part. n. of أَفَكَّت [q. v.]: (O, TA:) and مُفْكِهٌ and مُفْكِهَةٌ are syn. therewith. (TA.) مُتَفَكِّكَةٌ A mare desiring the stallion, (AO, O, K,) not offering opposition to him. (AO, O.) مُنْفَكِّينَ in the Kur [xcviii. 1], (O, TA,) followed by the words حَتَّى تَأْتِيَهُمُ الْبَيِّنَةُ, (O,) means, accord. to Mujáhid (O, TA) and Zj, (TA,) In the condition of desisting (O, TA) from their infidelity; (TA;) or, as Akh says, ceasing from their infidelity: (TA:) or, accord. to another, (O,) namely, Niftaweyh, (TA,) quitting the present state of existence, (O, TA,) i. e., sharing, one with another, in perdition, until the evidence came to them (O, TA) that had been affirmed to them in the Towráh, with respect to the description of Mohammad &c.; تَأْتِيَهُم being lit. an aor. , but in its meaning a pret.: (O:) Az says that it is not from مَا انْفَكَّ meaning مَا زَالَ, but from اِنْفِكَاكُ الشَّىْءِ مِنَ الشَّىْءِ meaning “ the thing's becoming separated from the thing: ” accord. to IAar, as mentioned by Th, فُكَّ فُلَانٌ means “ Such a one was set free, and at rest, from a thing; ” and hence منفكّين in the Kur means experiencing rest: accord. to Er-Rághib, it means separated, or separated into several parties; for all [to whom the word, preceded by a negative, relates] were assenting to error. (TA.)

صنو

4 اصنى النَّخْلُ The palm-trees had pairs, or triplets, or more, growing together from single roots. (IKtt, TA.) صَنْوٌ: see the next paragraph.

صُنْوٌ: see the next paragraph.

صِنْوٌ One of a pair, (AHn, S, M, K,) or of three, (S, M,) or of more than two, (K,) or of more than three, (M,) or of five, or of six, (TA,) of palmtrees, (S, M, K,) or of any trees, (AHn, M, K,) or of trees resembling one another, (M,) growing from one root; (AHn, S, M, K;) each [or every one] of such being called the صِنْو of the other [or others growing with it]; (AHn, M;) as also ↓ صُنْوٌ, (M, K,) mentioned by Zj: (M:) two of such are termed صِنْوَانِ (S, K) and صُنْوَانِ and صَنْوَانِ, [which last implies that ↓ صَنْوٌ as well as صُنْوٌ is a dial. var. of صِنْوٌ,] and also صِنْيَانِ and صُنْيَانِ and صَنْيَانِ, [which imply that صِنْىٌ and صُنْىٌ and صَنْىٌ are also dial. vars. of صِنْوٌ and صُنْوٌ and صَنْوٌ;] (K;) and the pl. is صِنْوَانٌ (Az, S, M) and [of pauc.] أَصْنَآءٌ, (M,) the former pl. differing from the first of the duals mentioned above by being perfectly decl. (Az, S, * TA.) Hence, in the Kur [xiii. 4], صِنْوَانٍ وَغَيْرُِ صِنْوَانٍ, (TA,) i. e. Palmtrees having one root and [others] having distinct roots: Hafs read صُنْوَان, like قُنْوَان pl. of قِنْوٌ; of the dial. of Temeem. (Bd.) b2: And hence, (TA,) (assumed tropical:) A brother; but not so called unless coupled with another: (Sh, TA:) or a brother by the same father: (Az, TA:) [or a brother by the same mother; as is indicated by an explanation of one of the pls in what follows:] or a brother such as is termed شقِيق, (M, K,) which means by the father and mother: (TA in art. شق:) and a son; (M, K;) because he has branched forth from one stock [with his father]: (TA:) and a paternal uncle; (M, K;) but this last meaning is taken from a trad. cited in what follows: (TA:) the fem. is with ة: and the pl. is أَصْنَآءٌ [a pl. of pauc.] and صِنْوَانٌ [as above]. (M, K.) It is said in a trad., عَمُّ الرَّجُلِ صِنْوُ أَبِيهِ (tropical:) [The paternal uncle of the man is the صِنْو of his father]; (T, S;) meaning that the stock of both is one. (T, TA.) [And it is said that] صَنْوَانٌ وغَيْرُ صِنْوَانٍ, relating to a man's children, means (assumed tropical:) Sons of one mother by different fathers, and children of different mothers by one father. (Har p. 608.) b3: [Hence the pl.] أَصْنَآءٌ signifies also (assumed tropical:) Likes, or fellows. (IAar, TA.) b4: And رَكِيَّتَانِ صِنْوَانِ (tropical:) Two wells near together, (Az, S, M, K, TA,) or (so in the TA and in some copies of the K) that yield water from one spring.
