(TA.) [Hence,] one says, غُمَّ الهِلَالُ (S, Msb, K, TA) عَلَى النَّاسِ, (S, TA,) inf. n. غَمٌّ, (TA,) The new moon was veiled, or concealed, (S, Msb,) to the people, (S,) by clouds, or otherwise, (S, Msb,) or was intercepted by thin clouds, (K, TA,) or otherwise, (TA,) so that it was not seen. (S, Msb, TA.) It is said in a trad., فَإِنْ غُمَّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَأَكْمِلُوا العِدَّةَ, (Mgh, * Msb, TA,) i. e. And if it [the new moon] be veiled, &c., to you, then complete ye the reckoning of Shaabán, thirty [days], in order that the entering upon the fast of Ramadán may be with [inferential] knowledge.

(K, and Har p. 422.

(TA.) b6: غَمَّ الشَّىْءَ, aor. ـُ also signifies عَلَاهُ [app. as meaning It rose upon, or above, the thing, as though forming a covering over it]: mentioned on the authority of IAar, who cites [as an ex.] the saying of En-Nemir Ibn-Towlab, [app. describing a رَوْضَة, or meadow,] أُنُفٌ يَغُمُّ الضَّالُ نَبْتَ بِحَارِهَا [Not depastured, the trees called ضال rising upon, or above, the herbage of its fertile tracts, or its tracts near to water].

(Msb.) A3: غَمَّ الشَّخْصُ, of the class of تَعِبَ, [the first Pers\. being غَمِمْتُ,] inf. n. غَمَمٌ, The person's hair of his head flowed down so that his forehead and the back of his neck were narrowed.

(TA.) See also 1, near the end.

A2: مَا أَغَمَّكَ لِى and إِلَىَّ is [an expression of wonder, meaning How great grief, or sadness, dost thou occasion to me!] from الغَمُّ signifying الحُزْنُ. (K, TA.) b2: [Accord. to the TK, أَغَمَّهُ signifies أَحْزَنَهُ; like غَمَّهُ: but this I think a mistake. b3: And Freytag explains أَغَمَّ as occurring in the Deewán of the Hudhalees signifying “ Demersit: ” but in which of its senses he uses this word he does not specify.]6 تغامّ He made a show of غَمّ [or grief, &c.,] without its being in the heart. (Har p. 126.) 7 انغمّ It (a thing, K) was, or became, covered, (S, K, TA,) veiled, or concealed.

(TA.) R.

↓ سَمِعْتَ عَلَى ثُدِيِّهِنَّ غَمَاغِمَا [When the suckling women, after the first light sleep in the beginning of the night, are in such a condition that thou hearest cryings over their breasts]; meaning, as he says, that the milk of these women is little in quantity, so that the sucking child weeps over the breast when sucking it.

Q. 1, in three places: and see its inf. n. voce غَمْغَمَةٌ, below, in two places. b2: Said of one drowning (غَرِيق) beneath the water, it signifies He uttered a cry, or cries: or, as is said in the T, he was pressed upon by the waves above him: a poet uses it of Pharaoh when he was overwhelmed [in the sea]. (TA.) غَمٌّ [an inf. n. used as an epithet in which the quality of a subst. predominates,] Grief, mourning, lamentation, sorrow, sadness, or unhappiness; syn. حُزْنٌ; (Msb, K;) so called because it covers happiness and forbearance; (Msb;) or غَمّ in the heart is thus called because it veils, or precludes, happiness: (Ham p. 21:) [it may therefore be rendered gloominess of mind:] or i. q. كَرْبٌ, (K,) which signifies حُزْن, (K in art. كرب,) or غَمّ, (S, in that art.,) [that affects the breath or respiration, lit.] that takes away the breath; (S and K in that art.;) as also ↓ غَمَّآءُ (K) and ↓ غُمَّةٌ, (S, K,) the last [expl. in the S as syn. with كُرْبَةٌ, which is syn. with كَرْبٌ, and] mentioned by Lh: (TA:) [see also صَقَعٌ:] it is كَرْب [or grief, &c.,] that befalls the heart because of what has happened; differing from هَمٌّ, which is كرب that befalls because of annoyance, or harm, that is expected to happen: or, as some say, both are one [in meaning]: the differing is asserted by 'Iyád and [many] others: (TA:) [see also غَصَبٌ:] the pl. of غَمٌّ is غُمُومٌ. (S, K.) b2: It is also an inf. n. used as an epithet in the phrase يَوْمٌ غَمٌّ (S, TA) i. e. A day that is [sultry, or] intensely hot, so that it [almost] takes away the breath; and لَيْلَةٌ غَمٌّ [such a night], i. e. ↓ غَامَّةٌ: (S:) or one says يَوْمٌ غَمٌّ and ↓ غَامٌّ and ↓ مِغَمٌّ, (K, TA,) the last with kesr to the م, (TA,) [in the CK ↓ مُغِمٌّ,] meaning a day of heat, (K,) or of intense heat: (TA:) or a day of غَمّ [i. e. grief, &c.]: and [in a similar sense, as is implied by the context immediately preceding,] لَيْلَةٌ غَمٌّ and غَمَّةٌ and ↓ غَمَّى: (K:) [but] A'Obeyd mentions, on the authority of Az, ↓ لَيْلَةٌ غَمَّى and ↓ لَيْلَةٌ غَمَّةٌ as meaning a night in which there is over the sky [a covering of clouds, or] what is termed غَمْىٌ [a word belonging to art. غمى, being in measure] like رَمْىٌ; (S;) and [in the like sense] يَوْمٌ غَمٌّ. (So in one of my copies of the S.) b3: And one says, كَانَ عَلَى

السَّمَآءِ غم [app. غَمٌّ, but this, I think, requires confirmation, for which I have searched in vain,] and غمى [app. ↓ غَمَّى, or perhaps غَمْىٌ, a word mentioned above,] meaning There was over the sky a collection [or an expanse] of thin clouds, or a ضَبَابَة [i. e. mist, or the like], فَحَالَ دُونَ الهِلَالِ [and it intercepted the new moon]: and هٰذِهِ لَيْلَةُ

↓ غَمَّى, and some say ↓ غُمَّى, This is a night [of a covering of clouds, or] of a ضَبَابَة [or mist, or the like], intervening between the new moon and men; so that the new moon is not seen: (Msb:) and [hence] ↓ صُمْنَا لِلْغَمَّى, and ↓ لِلْغُمَّى, (S, Msb, K,) both mentioned by ISk on the authority of Fr, (S,) and ↓ لِلْغَمَّآءِ, (S, K,) and ↓ لِلْغُمِّيَّةِ, (K, TA, but omitted in the CK,) and ↓ لِلْغُمَّةِ, (TA,) [i. e. We fasted after, or from the time of, the covering of clouds, or the mist, or the like, that concealed the new moon; (the prep. لِ being here used in the sense of بَعْدَ, or مِنْ وَقْتِ, as in the Kur xvii. 80;) virtually] meaning [we fasted] without a sight [of the new moon]: (Msb, TA:) a rájiz says, طَامِسٍ هِلَالُهَا ↓ لَيْلَةَ غُمَّى

أَوْغَلْتُهَا وَمُكْرَةٌ إِيْغَالُهَا [In a night of a covering of clouds, or of a mist, or the like, having its new moon effaced: I journeyed quickly and far in it, (أَوْغَلْتُهَا) being used, app. by poetic license, for أَوْغَلْتُ فِيهَا,) and disliked was the journeying so therein]: (S, TA:) and it is said that لَيْلَةُ غمّى [i. e. ↓ غَمَّى and ↓ غُمَّى] signifies also the last night of the [lunar] month; being so called because the case thereof is veiled to people so that it is not known whether it be of the coming [month] or of the past.

(S, K. *) [See also غُمَّى.] It is said in the Kur [x. 72], ثُمَّ لَا يَكُنْ أَمْرُكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ غُمَّةً i. e.

(Mgh.) The Arabs in driving their camels used commonly to sing verses of the kind termed رَجَز. (TA in art. رجز.) [It is said that] ↓ حُدَآءٌ originated from the fact of a DesertArab's beating his young man, or boy, and biting his fingers; whereupon he went along saying دَىْ دَىْ, meaning يَا يَدَىَّ [“ O my two hands! ”]; and the camels went on at his cry; therefore his master bade him keep to it: (K in art. دى:) so says IAar. (TA in that art. [Other (similar) accounts of its origin are mentioned by MF in remarking on this passage of the K.]) حَدَا signifies also He raised his voice with [the singing termed] الحُدَآء.

It is said of Mohammad, in a trad., تَحَدَّى العَرَبَ بِالقُرْآنِ [He vied, or contended, with the Arabs by means of the Kur-án]. (TA.)

(Sgh, and K ib.) Hence the saying of Mujáhid, كُنْتُ أَتَحَدَّى القُرْآنَ فَأَقْرَأُ [I used to aim at reading, or reciting, the Kur-án, and so to read, or recite]. (AA, TA.) 6 تَحَادَتِ الإِبِلُ The camels urged on one another. (K.) 8 إِحْتَدَوَ see 1, in two places.
