(عَــيَمَ) الْعَيْنُ وَالْيَاءُ وَالْمِــيمُ كَلِمَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ صَحِيحَةٌ، وَهِيَ شَهْوَةُ اللَّبَنِ: يُقَالُ لِلَّذِي اشْتَهَى اللَّبَنَ عَــيْمَــانُ، وَالْمَرْأَةُ عَــيْمَــى. تَقُولُ: عِمْتُ إِلَى اللَّبَنِ عَــيْمَــةً وَعَــيَمًــا شَدِيدًا قَالَ الْخَلِيلُ: وَكُلُّ مَصْدَرٍ مِثْلُ هَذَا مِمَّا يَكُونُ لِفَعْلَانَ وَفَعْلَى، فَإِذَا أَنَّثْتَ الْمَصْدَرَ قُلْتَهُ عَلَى فَعْلَةٍ خَفِيفَةٍ، وَإِذَا ثَقَّلْتَ فَعَلَى فَعَلٍ، نَحْوَ الْحَيَرِ وَالْحَيْرَةِ. وَجَمْعُ الْعَــيْمَــانِ عَيَامَى وَعِيَامٌ.
