ي ت م : يَتِمَ يَيْتَمُ مِنْ بَابَيْ تَعِبَ وَقَرُبَ يُتْمًا بِضَمِّ الْيَاءِ وَفَتْحِهَا لَكِنْ الْيُتْمُ فِي النَّاسِ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْأَبِ فَيُقَالُ صَغِيرٌ يَتِيمٌ وَالْجَمْعُ أَيْتَامٌ وَيَتَامَى وَصَغِيرَةٌ يَتِيمَةٌ وَجَمْعُهَا يَتَامَى وَفِي غَيْرِ النَّاسِ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْأُمِّ وَأَيْتَمَتْ الْمَرْأَةُ إيتَامًا فَهِيَ مُوتِمٌ صَارَ أَوْلَادُهَا يَتَامَى فَإِنْ مَاتَ الْأَبَوَانِ فَالصَّغِيرُ لَطِيمٌ وَإِنْ مَاتَتْ أُمُّهُ فَقَطْ فَهُوَ عَجِيٌّ وَدُرَّةٌ يَتِيمَةٌ أَيْ لَا نَظِيرَ لَهَا وَمِنْ هُنَا أُطْلِقَ الْيَتِيمُ عَلَى كُلِّ فَرْدٍ يَعِزُّ نَظِيرُهُ.
Volunteers needed (having reasonably advanced knowledge of Arabic, and relatively good English): There are 20-40 dictionaries that can be added to The Arabic Lexicon once the digital versions are reviewed and any necessary corrections carried out (sometimes this can be done in a few hours). If you're interested, please email me at this address: contact@hawramani.com.
- My new book Learning Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) for Complete Beginners is now available on Amazon.com in paperback and Kindle formats. It uses the same innovative learning method as my highly related Learning Quranic Arabic for Complete Beginners.
