كُمْتَةٌ [A dark bay colour:] a red colour mixed with blackness: (
Kh,
Sb:) or a red colour mixed with قُنُوْء, (
As,
S,
K,) which latter is blackness that is not pure, or clear: (see كُمَيْتٌ:) or a colour between black and red: (
ISd:) there are two kinds of كمتة; namely كُمْتَةُ صُفْرَةٍ [yellow bay, or gilded bay,] and كُمْتَةُ حُمْرَةٍ
[red bay, or chestnut-bay]. (
IAar.) كُمَيْتٌ,
masc. and
fem., (
S,
K,) [A bay, or dark bay, or brown, horse &c.:] of a red colour mixed with blackness: (
Kh,
Sb:) or of a red colour mixed with قُنُوْء, (
As,
S,
K,) which latter is blackness that is not pure, or clear: (
TA [
app. from
As]:) [see كُمْتَةٌ, above:] a camel is called أَحْمَرُ if of an unmixed red; but if of a red colour mixed with قنوء, it is called كميت: (
As,
S:) the difference between كميت and أَشْقَرُ, as applied to horses, is in the mane and the tail: if these are red, the animal is called اشقر [i. e. sorrel]; and if they are black, it is called كميت; (
AO,
S,
TA;) and the وَرْد is between these two: (
AO,
TA:) [all bay horses have black manes, which distinguish them from the sorrel, that have red or white manes: (Farrier's Dict., quoted in Johnson's Dict.,
voce “ bay ”:)] an
epithet applied to the horse and the camel and other animals: (
ISd:) you say فَرَسٌ كميتٌ, and مُهْرَةٌ كميتٌ, and بَعِيرٌ كميتٌ, and نَاقَةٌ كميتٌ: (
TA:)
accord. to the
Kh, as cited by
Sb, it is of the
dim. form because it denotes a colour between black and red, as though to imply that it signifies what is near to each of these two colours. (
S.) In a marginal note in the
S, it is said to be a foreign word arabicized. (
TA.) [Perhaps from the Persian كُمِيژَهْ: Freytag says,
accord. to some from the Persian كُميته.] See also أَكْمَتُ, and كُمْتَةٌ. The Arabs say, that the كميت is the most powerful of horses, and the strongest in the hoofs. (
TA.)
b2: تَمْرَةٌ كُمَيْتٌ (
tropical:) A date of the colour called كُمَيْتٌ; [or, red tinged, or mixed, with black, or of a blackish red colour]: it is one of the kinds hardest, or toughest, in لِحَآء [i. e. pulp, or flesh], and sweetest to chew. (
AM.)
b3: تِينٌ كُمَيْتٌ (
tropical:) A fig of that colour. (
AHn.)
b4: كُمَيْتٌ (
tropical:) a name of Wine; because there is in it blackness and redness: (
S:) or wine in which is blackness and redness: (
M,
K:) used like a proper name, [or rather as a
subst.,] though originally an
epithet. (
TA.)
b5: كُمَيْتٌ is also applied as an
epithet to waste, or unowned, land. (
ISd.)
b6: كُمَيْتٌ A long, complete, month, or year. (
IAar.) أَخَذَهُ بِكَمِيتَتِهِ He took it by its root. (
Sgh,
K.) كَمَاتِىٌّ: see next paragraph.
أَكْمَتُ]
b2: خَيْلٌ كُمْتٌ, and ↓ كَمَاتِىٌّ, (
K,) and كَمَاتَى, of the same measure as عَذَارَى, (
TA,) Horses of the colour of that which is called كُمَيْتٌ, (
K,) كمت is a
