being held by ISd to be an inf. n. like بُشْرَى and رُجْعَى; (TA;) and the simple subst. [also] is حُمَّى: (K:) [or the inf. n. is حَمٌّ; for] you say, حُمِمْتُ حَمًّا; and the simple subst. is حُمَّى. (L.) And حُمَّ عَلَى طَعَامٍ He had a fever from eating [certain] food. (K, * TA.) And حمّ, [app. حُمَّ,] inf. n. حُمَامٌ said of a camel, He had a fever. (TA.

(TA.) The verb is doubly trans., as meaning أَعْطَى: so in the phrase, حَمَّمَهَاخَادِمًا سَوْدَآءَ He gave her, after divorce, a black female slave: or this may be for حَمَّمَهَابِهَا. (TA.) [Hence,] ثِيَابُ التَّحِمَّة The clothing with which a man attires his wife when he gives her a gift after divorce.

(S, Msb, K.) b4: It (an affair, an event, or a case,) rendered him anxious, disquieted him, or grieved him; syn. أَهَمَّهُ; (S, K;) as also ↓ حَمَّهُ. (K.)

A5: احمّ It drew near, or approached; (S, Msb, K;) as also ↓ حَمَّ, [in the Ham p. 350, written حُمَّ,] aor. ـِ inf. n. حَمٌّ: (Msb:) it was, or became, present: (K:) its time drew near, or came; as also اجمّ: so says Ks; and thus this last verb is explained by As; but he knew not احمّ in this sense. (S, TA.) You say, أَحَمَّتِ الحَاجَةُ and اجمّت The object of want became near; (ISk, TA;) and both are mentioned by Fr. (S.) And احمّ قُدُومُهُمْ and اجمّ Their coming drew near. (Fr, TA.)

حَمَّامِىٌّ The owner [or keeper] of a حَمَّام [or hot bath]. (Mgh.) حُمْحُمٌ: see أَحَمُّ.

حِمْحِمٌ: see أَحَمُّ, in two places.

You say, كَيْفَ الحَامَّةُ وَالعَامَّةُ [How are the particular, or special, friends, &c., and the common people?]. (S.) And هٰؤُلَآءِ حَامَّةُ الرَّجُلِ These are the relations of the man. (Lth, S.) [See حُمَّةٌ, and أَحمُّ.] b2: See also حَمِيمَةٌ. b3: Also i. q. عَامَّةٌ. (K.) [It would seem that this signification might have been assigned to it in consequence of a misunderstanding of the words in the S, وَالحَامَّةُ الخَاصَّةُ يُقَالُ كَيْفَ الحَامَّةُ وَالعَامَّةُ: but accord. to the TK, one says, جَاؤُوا حَامَّةً, meaning عَامَّةً, i. e. They came generally, or universally.]

(S, K.) b2: Also, (K,) accord. to I'Ab, ↓ حٰم is One of the names of God; (Mgh;) or it is the most great name of God; (K;) occurring in a trad., in which it is said, إِنْ بُيِّتُّمْ فَقُولُوا حٰم لَا يَنْصَرُونَ, meaning If ye be attacked by night, say ye حٰم; and when ye say this, they shall not be made victorious: (Mgh:) or the meaning is, [say ye] O God, they shall not be made victorious; not being an imprecation; for were it so, it would be لَا يُنْصَرُوا: (IAth, TA:) or it is an oath; (Mgh, K;) and the meaning of the trad. is, [say ye] By God, they shall not be made victorious: but حٰم is not among the numbered names of God: it has therefore been deemed preferable to understand it as here meaning the seven chapters of the Kur-án commencing therewith: (Mgh:) or it is an abbreviation of الرَّحْمٰنُ, wanting the letters الرن to complete it: (Zj, K:) or, as some say, it means [حُمَّ مَا هُوَ كَائِنٌ, i. e.] قُضِىَ مَاهُوَ كَائِنٌ [What is taking place has been decreed]. (Az, TA.) It is imperfectly decl. because determinate and of the fem. gender; or because it is of a foreign measure, like قَابِيلُ and هَابِيلُ, (Ksh, Bd,) and determinate. (Ksh.) أَحَمُّ Black; (S, K;) applied to anything; as also ↓ يَحْمُومٌ, (K,) and ↓ حمِحِمٌ, (As, K,) or this signifies intensely black, (S,) and ↓ حُمْحُمٌ, (K,) which IB explains as a black hue of dye: (TA:) [the fem. of the first is حَمَّآءُ: and the pl. حُمٌّ: and] the pl. of ↓ the second is يَحَامِيمُ, and by poetic license يَحَامِمُ.

(S, K.) b3: and أَحَمُّ An arrow before it has been furnished with feathers and a head; syn. قِدْحٌ. (K.) b4: حَمَّآءُ applied to a lip (شَفَةٌ) and to a gum (لِثَةٌ) meansOf a colour between دُهْمَةٌ and كُمْتَةٌ. (M, TA.

(Meyd. [By Freytag, سَمَائِمُ is erroneously said, as on the authority of Meyd, to be pl. of سَامَّةٌ in this sense.]) In [some of] the copies of the K, السُّمَاسِمُ is here erroneously put for السَّمَاسِمُ. (TA.) سُمَاسِمٌ: see سَمَامٌ: b2: and see also سَمْسَمٌ.

سَامٌّ [act. part. n. of سَمَّ; as such signifying Poisoning, or infecting with poison]. سَامَّةٌ, as an act. part. n.

قطرب

Q. 1 قَطْرَبَ, (K,) inf. n. قَطْرَبَةٌ, (O,) He hastened, sped, or went quickly. (O, K.) A2: and قَطْرَبَهُ He threw him down, or prostrated him, on the ground: (O, K: *) and so قَرْطَبَهُ. (O.) Q. 2 تَقَطْرَبَ He (a man, TA) moved about his head: and made himself to resemble the قُطْرُب: (K:) or became like the قُطْرُب in some one of the senses assigned to it in what follows. (TA.) قُطْرُبٌ A certain bird; (S, O, K;) [app. a species of owl; accord. to Dmr, as cited by Freytag, a bird that roves about by night and does not sleep; and hence rendered by him, and by Golius, strix. No other meaning of the word, as an appellative, is mentioned in the S.] b2: And A certain insect that rests not all the day, going about, or going about quickly, (O, K, TA,) or, as they used to assert in the Time of Ignorance, that never rests, (TA,) moving about on the surface of water. (KL.) Mohammad Ibn-El-Mustaneer, (K, TA,) the grammarian, (TA,) was surnamed قُطْرُب because he used to go early in the morning to Seebaweyh; so that the latter, whenever he opened his door, found him there; wherefore he said to him, مَا أَنْتَ إِلَّا قُطْرُبُ لَيْلٍ [Thou art none other than a kutrub of night]. (K, * TA.) It is also expl. in the K as meaning Light, or active; and Th mentions that it signifies thus; and adds that one says, إِنَّهُ لَقُطْرُبُ لَيْلٍ [Verily he is a kutrub of night]; but this shows that it means an insect [described above], and is not [properly speaking] an epithet. (TA.) To this insect is likened a man who labours during the day in accomplishing worldly wants and in the evening is fatigued so that he sleeps during the night until he enters upon the time of morning to betake himself to the like thereof, هٰذَا جِيفَةُ لَيْلِ قُطْرُبُ نَهَارٍ [lit. This is a corpse of the night, a kutrub of the day]. (O, from an explanation of a trad.) [See also Freytag's Arab. Prov. i. 329 and 643.]

b3: And [hence, app.,] (assumed tropical:) A thief who is skilful, or active, in thievishness: (O, M, TA:) for اللِّصُّ الفَارِهُ فِى اللُّصُوصِيَّةِ, an explanation of القُطْرُبُ given [in the O and] by IM and others, the copies of the K erroneously substitute اللِّصُ وَالفَأْرَةُ [as though قُطْرُبٌ had the significations of a thief and a rat or mouse]. (TA.) b4: And The male (Lth, O, K, TA) of the [kind of demon called]

سِعْلَاة (Lth, TA) or of the غُول [which is said to signify the same as سعلاة]; as also ↓ قُطْرُوبٌ. (O, K, TA.) b5: And [app. A young, or little, jinnee: thus قُرْطُبٌ is expl. in the L: or] the young ones, or little ones, of the jinn. (K.) b6: And A young, or little, dog: (O:) or the young ones, or little ones, of dogs. (K.) b7: And A wolf such as is termed أَمْعَط [i. e. whose hair has fallen off, part after part, or has become scanty; or mischievous, or malignant].

(O, TA.) b10: And Lightwitted; syn. سَفِيهٌ; (O, K, TA;) as also ↓ قُطْرُوبٌ: and IAar has mentioned as a pl. in this sense, used by a poet, قَطَارِيبُ, which, ISd says, may be pl. of قُطْرُوبٌ or of a sing. of some other form requiring such a form of pl., or it may be used as a pl. of قُطْرُبٌ by poetic license. (TA.) b11: And Thrown down, or prostrated, on the ground, syn. مَصْرُوعٌ, (O, K, TA,) by reason of diabolical possession or wrestling. (O, * TA.) A2: Also A species of melancholia; (O, K, TA;) a well-known disease, arising from the black bile; (TA;) mostly originating in the month of شُبَاط [February, O. S.]; vitiating, or disordering, the intellect, contracting the face, occasioning continual unhappiness, causing to wander about in the night, and rendering the face أَخْضَر [here app. meaning of a dark, or an ashy, dust-colour], the eyes sunken, and the body emaciated. (O.) [A more ample discription is given by Avicenna (Ibn-Seenà). in book iii. pp. 315, et seq. SM states that he had not found this in any other lexicon than the K. Golius explains the word as signifying Lycanthropia, on the authority of Rhazes (Er-Rázee).]
