A:) some say that زُمْرَةٌ is from ↓ زَمْرٌ [originally an
inf. n., (see 1, first sentence,) and hence] signifying “ sound,”
because a company of men is not without sound: others, that it signifies a company of few persons; from شَاةٌ زَمِرَةٌ: (
MF:) but the former is the proper derivation, and is confirmed by what is said in the
B. (

A'Obeyd,
Az,
S,
K:) so in a

Th,
A'Obeyd,
Az,
S:) so called because she publishes her business: (
Th:) some say that the correct word is here رَمَّازَة, because such a woman makes signs with her lips and her eyes and her eyebrows:
Az says that he holds the former to be the right; and Abu-l- 'Abbás Ahmad says that the latter is wrong, and that the former signifies a beautiful prostitute: but
Az adds that the
trad. may mean as above, or he prohibited the gain of the female singer, as
AHát relates on the authority of

tropical:) [Verily thou hast been gifted with a pipe like that of David himself]; likening the sweetness of his voice and melody to the sound of the مِزْمَار; (
TA;) as though he had musical pipes in his throat: or مزاميرآل داوود is here the same as مَزْمُورَات دَاوُود: (
A:) for,
b2: مَزَامِيرُ دَاوُودَ also signifies [The Psalms of David;] what David used to sing, or chant, (يَتَغَنَّى بِهِ, in the
CK يُتَغَنَّى به,) of the Psalms: (
K:) and to such is likened the utmost sweetness of voice in reciting: and آل is said to be here redundant or pleonastic; meaning the person: (
TA:) or (so in the
TA, but in the
K “ and ”) مزامير داوود signifies kinds of prayer, or supplication: it is
pl. of مِزْمَارٌ and of ↓ مَزْمُورٌ or مُزْمُورٌ. (So in different copies of the
K.) مَزْمُورٌ and مُزْمُورٌ: see مِزْمَارٌ, in two places.
مُسْتَزْمِرٌ (
tropical:) Shrinking, and abject, or ignominious, in his own estimation. (
