1 عَظُمَ, [aor. ـُ inf. n. عِظَمٌ (S, Msb, K) and عَظَامَةٌ, (Msb, K,) accord. to El-Isbahánee, primarily signifies He was, or became, great in his bone: then metaphorically said of anything كَبِير [or great], whether an object of sense or of intel-lect, a substance or an accident: (TA:) i. q. كَبُرَ, (S, TA,) said of a thing [as meaning it was, or became, great, big, or large], (S, Msb, TA,) in length and breadth and thickness: (TA:) [and in like manner, metaphorically, said of an object of intellect; meaning it was, or became, great in estimation or rank or dignity; and thus also said of a man: or it imports more than كَبُرَ; signifying it was, or became, great in comparison with other things of its kind; huge, enormous, or vast; and in a similar sense it is said of a man; and in an incomparably higher sense, of God: (see عَظِيمٌ, below:)] and ↓ اعظم said of an affair, or event, signifies [like عَظُمَ] it became عَظِيم. (TA.) عِظَمٌ is the contr. of صِغَرٌ. (K.) b2: عَظُمَ عِنْدَهُ, and عَظُمَ عَلَيْهِ: see 6, in three places: and see also 4.

And مَا يَعْظُمُنِى [which is similar in meaning to ما يَعْظُمُ عَلَىَّ if not a mistranscription for ما يُعْظِمُنِى]: see 4. b3: In the case of expressing wonder, one says, عُظْمَ البَطْنُ بَطْنُكَ [How great is the belly, thy belly !], contracting عَظُمَ, and transferring the vowel of its middle letter to [the place of] its first; and thus one does in the case of that which denotes praise or blame, and of whatever [verb] may be well used in the manner of نِعْمَ, and بِئْسَ: but what may not be thus used does not admit of the transferring, though it may be contracted; so that you may say, حَسُنَ الوَجْهُ وَجْهُكَ and حَسْنَ الوَجْهُ وَجْهُكَ and حُسْنَ الوَجْهُ وَجْهُكَ, but not قَدْ حُسْنَ الوَجْهُ وَجْهُكَ.

(S.) [One says, فَعَلْتُ كَذَا تَعْظِيمًا لَهُ I did thus for the purpose of rendering honour &c. to him, or it.] b3: عظّم المَطَرُ, inf. n. as above, The rain moistened to the measure of the عَظَمَة [or thick part] of the arm. (TA voce أَسَّلَ [q. v.]) A2: عظّم الشَّاةَ, inf. n. as above, He cut up the sheep, or goat, bone by bone. (K.) 4 اعظم as intrans.: see 1, former half.

أَنْ أَفْعَلَ ذٰلِكَ [if not a mistranscription for ما يُعْظِمُنِى], meaning مَا يَهُولُنِى [My doing that will not frighten me, or terrify me]. (TA.) A3: اعظم الكَلْبَ: see 1, last sentence but one.5 تعظّم [He made himself to appear great, big, or large: as is indicated by an explanation of the word رُفَاعَة in the S, in art. رفع. b2: and hence,] He magnified himself; or behaved proudly, haughtily, or insolently; as also ↓ استعظم; (S, Msb, K;) [and so ↓ تعاظم: b3: whence one says, تعظّم عَنْهُ and عنه ↓ تعاظم, both of which occur in the K, the former in art. ابه in explanation of تَأَبَّهَ عَنْ كَذَا, and the latter in art. جل in explanation of تَجَالَّ عَنْهُ; both meaning He held himself above it, disdained it, or was disdainful of it.]

A2: [تعاظمهُ signifies It was, or became, عَظِيم i. e. great, &c., in comparison with it.] One says, سَيْلٌ لَا يَتَعَاظَمُهُ شَىْءٌ, meaning [A torrent] in comparison with which nothing will be great. (TA.) And أَصَابَنَا مَطَرٌ لَا يَتَعَاظَمُهُ شَىْءٌ i. e. عِنْدَهُ ↓ لَا يَعْظُمُ [meaning, in like manner, Rain in comparison with which (lit. in juxtaposition to which) nothing will be great fell upon us]. (S, TA.) And هٰذَا أَمْرٌ يَتَعَاظَمُهُ شَىْءٌ (K, * TA) [This is an affair] in comparison with which nothing will be great. (K, TA.) b2: تعاظمهُ said of an affair, or event, (أَمْرٌ, S, Msb, TA,) signifies (Msb, K, TA) also (K, TA) عَلَيْهِ ↓ عَظُمَ [i. e. It was, or became, of great magnitude, or moment, or importance; or of great gravity; or (like كَبُرَ عَلَيْهِ) difficult, hard, severe, grievous, distressing, afflictive, troublesome, or burdensome; in its effect upon him]. (Msb, K, TA.) In a trad., God is related to have said, لَا يَتَعَاظَمُنِى ذَنْبٌ أَنْ

أَغْفِرَهُ, meaning عَلَىَّ ↓ لَا يَعْظُمُ and عِنْدِى [i. e. A sin is not difficult, &c., to me to forgive it; like as one says, لَا يَكْبُرُ عَلَىَّ and عِنْدِى]. (TA.) 10 استعظم as intrans.: see 5.

A2: استعظمهُ He reckoned it, (S,) or he saw it, or judged it, to be, (Mgh, Msb, K,) عَظِيم [i. e. great, &c.]; (S, Mgh, Msb, K;) as also ↓ اعظمهُ, (Mgh, K,) which latter is mentioned by ISd, but disapproved by him: one says, ↓ سَمِعْتُ خَبَرًا فَأَعْظَمْتُهُ [I heard a narration and I judged it to be of great moment, &c.]: (TA:) and ↓ تعظّم is thought by ISd to mean he looked upon [a thing] as عَظِيم. (TA in art. شرف.) b2: Also, He took the greater, or main, part of it, (K, TA,) namely, a thing. (TA.) عَظْمٌ The قَصَب [here meaning bone, but properly applied to the bones of the hands and feet, or of the arms and legs,] of an animal, upon which is the flesh: (K:) [dim. ↓ عُظَيْمٌ:] pl.
