حَمَارَّةٌ, (S, K, &c.,) a word of a rare form, of which the only other instances are said to be حَبَالَّةٌ and زَرَافَّةٌ and زَعَارَّةٌ and سَبَارَّةٌ and صَبَارَّةٌ and عَبَالَّةٌ, (TA,) and sometimes ↓ حَمَارَةٌ, without teshdeed, in poetry, (S, K,) and in prose also, as is said by Lh and others, (TA,) (tropical:) The intenseness of heat (Lth, Ks, S, A, K) of summer; (Lth, Ks, S, A;) and so ↓ حَمْرَآءُ; (TA;) which also signifies the same in relation to the noon, or summer-noon; (K;) and ↓ حَمْرَى, (Az, TA in art. بيض,) and ↓ حِمِرٌّ: (TA:) or the most intense heat of summer; (TA;;) as also ↓ حِمِرٌّ: (K, TA:) and sometimes, though rarely, used in relation to winter [as signifying the intenseness of cold; like صَبَارَّةٌ]: (TA:) pl. [or rather coll. gen. n.] ↓ حَمَارٌّ. (S.) A2: See also حِمَارَةٌ, last sentence.

حُمَّرٌ and ↓ حُمَرٌ, (S, Msb, K,) the former of which is the more common, (S, Msb,) [coll. gen. ns.,] A kind of bird, (S, Msb, K,) like the sparrow: (S, Msb:) accord. to Es-Sakháwee, the lark; syn. قُبَّرٌ [q. v.]: and حُمَّرَةٌ is said in the Mujarrad to be an appellation applied by the people of El-Medeeneh to the [bird commonly called] بُلْبُل; as also نُغَرَةٌ: (Msb:) حُمَّرَةٌ and حُمَرَةٌ are the ns. of un.: (S, Msb, K:) pl. حُمَّرَاتٌ (S, TA) [and حُمَرَاتٌ].

A2: See also حُمَرٌ.

حَمَّارٌ: see حَمَّارَةٌ. b2: Also A seller of asses. (TA.) حَمَّارَةٌ, [a coll. gen. n.,] Owners, or attendants, of asses (S, K, TA) in a journey; (S, TA;) as also ↓ حَامِرَةٌ: (K:) n. un. ↓ حَمَّارٌ (S, TA) and ↓ حَامِرٌ. (TA.) A2: See also مِحْمَرٌ, in two places.

حَامِرٌ: see حَمَّارَةٌ.

حَوْمَرٌ: see حُمَرٌ.

حَامِرَةٌ: see حَمَّارَةٌ.

أَحْمَرُ [Red: and also brown, or the like:] a thing of the colour termed حُمْرَةٌ: (Msb, K:) it is in animals, and in garments &c.; and, accord. to IAar, in water [when muddy]: and so ↓ يَحْمُورٌ: (K:) fem. of the former حَمْرَآءُ: (Msb:) pl. حُمْرٌ and حُمْرَانٌ: (K:) or when it means dyed with the colour termed حُمْرَةٌ, the pl. is حُمْرٌ (S, Msb) and حُمْرَانٌ; for you say ثِيَابٌ حُمْرٌ and حُمْرَانٌ [red garments]: (TA:) but if you apply it as an epithet to a man, [in which case it has other meanings than those explained above, as will be shown in what follows,] the pl. is أَحَامِرُ (S) and حُمْرٌ: (TA:) or if it means a thing having the colour termed حُمْرَةٌ, the pl. is أَحَامِرُ, because, in this case, it is a subst., not an epithet. (Msb.) ↓ أَحْمَرِىٌّ also signifies the same as أَحْمَرُ: (Ham p. 379:) or, as some say, it has an intensive sense. (TA voce كَرُوبِيُّونَ.) It is said in the S, in art. دك, that حَمْرَاوَاتٌ is a pl. of حَمْرَآءُ, like as دَكَّاوَاتٌ, is of دَكَّآءُ; but it is not so. (IB in that art.) b2: Applied to a camel, Of a colour like that of saffron when a garment is dyed with it so that it stands up by reason of [the thickness of] the dye: (TA:) or of an unmixed red colour; (As, S in art. كمت, and TA;) and so the fem. when applied to a she-goat. (TA.) It is said that, of she-camels, the حَمْرَآء is the most able to endure the summer midday-heat; and the وَرْقَآء, to endure nightjourneying; and that the صَهْبَآء is the most notable and the most beautiful to look at: so said Aboo-Nasr En-Na'ámee: and the Arabs say that the best of camels are the حُمْر and the صُهْب. (TA.) [Hence,] حُمْرُ النَّعَمِ signifies (assumed tropical:) The high-bred, or excellent, of camels: and is proverbially applied to anything highly prized, precious, valuable, or excellent. (Mgh, Msb.) b3: Applied to a man, (AA, Sh, Az,) White (AA, Sh, Az, K) in complexion; (Az;) because أَبْيَضُ might be considered as of evil omen [implying the meaning of leprosy]: (AA, Sh:) or, accord. to Th, because the latter epithet, applied to a man, was only used by the Arabs as signifying “ pure,” or “ free from faults: ” but they sometimes used this latter epithet in the sense of “ white in complexion,”

applied to a man &c.: (IAth:) fem., in the same sense, حَمْرَآءُ: the dim. of which, ↓ حُمَيْرَآءُ, occurs in a trad., applied to 'Áïsheh. (K, * TA.) So, accord. to some, in the trad., بُعِثْتُ إِلَى الأَحْمَرِ وَالأَسْوَدِ, (TA,) i. e. I have been sent to the white and the black; because these two epithets comprise all mankind: (Az, TA:) [therefore, by the former we should understand the white and the red races; and by the latter, the negroes: but some hold that by the former are meant the foreigners, and] by the latter are meant the Arabs. (TA.) One says also, [when speaking of Arabs and more northern races,] أَتَانِى كُلُّ أَسْوَدَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَحْمَرَ, meaning Every Arab of them, and foreigner, came to me: and one should not say, in this sense, أَبْيَضَ. (AA, As, S.) الحَمْرَآءُ, also, is applied to The foreigners (العَجَمُ) [collectively]; (S, A, K;) because a reddish white is the prevailing hue of their complexion: (S:) or the Persians and Greeks: or those foreigners mostly characterized by whiteness of complexion; as the Greeks and Persians. (TA.) You say, لَيْسَ فِى

الحَمْرَآءِ مِثْلُهُ There is not among the foreigners (العَجَم) the like of him. (A.) And accord. to some, الأَحْمَرُ وَالأَبْيَضُ means The Arabs and the foreigners. (TA.) الحَمْرَآءُ [so in the TA, but correctly أَبْنَآءُ الحَمْرَآءِ,] is an appellation applied to Emancipated slaves: and اِبْنُ حَمْرَآءِ العِجَانِ, meaning Son of the female slave, is an appellation used in reviling and blaming. (TA.) b4: Also (tropical:) A man having no weapons with him: pl. حُمْرٌ (A, K) and حُمْرَانٌ. (K.) b5: الحُسْنُ أَحْمَرُ meansBeauty is in الحُمْرَة [app. fairness of complexion; i. e. beauty is fair-complexioned]: (TA:) or (assumed tropical:) beauty is attended by difficulty; i. e. he who loves beauty must bear difficulty, or distress: (IAth:) or the lover experiences from beauty what is experienced from war. (ISd, K.) b6: الأَحْمَرُ A sort of dates: (K:) so called because of their colour. (TA.) b7: الأَحْمَرُ وَالأَبْيَضُ Gold and silver. (TA.) And الأَحْمَرَانِ Flesh-meat and wine; (S, A, K;) said to destroy men: (S:) so in the saying, نَحْنُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الأَسْوَدَيْنِ لَا الأَحْمَرَيْنِ We are of the people of dates and water, not of flesh-meat and wine: (A:) or the beverage called نَبِيذ and flesh-meat. (IAar.) Also Wine and [garments of the kind called] بُرُود. (Sh.) and Gold and saffron; (Az, ISd, K;) said to destroy women; i. e. the love of ornaments and perfumes destroys them: (Az:) or these are called الأَصْفَرَانِ; (AO, TA;) and milk and water, الأَبْيَضَانِ; (TA;) and dates and water, الأَسْوَدَانِ. (A, TA.) And الأَحَامِرَةُ Flesh-meat and wine and [the perfume called] الخَلُوق: (S, K:) or gold and flesh-meat and wine; as also الأَخَاضِرُ: (TA in art. خضر:) or gold and saffron and الخَلُوق. (ISd, TA.) b8: المَوْتُ الأَحْمَرُ (assumed tropical:) Slaughter; (L, K;) because it occasions the flowing of blood: (TA:) and [so in the L, but in the K “ or ”] (tropical:) violent death: (S, A, L, K:) or death in which the sight of the man becomes dim by reason of terror, so that the world appears red and black before his eyes: (A 'Obeyd:) or it may mean (assumed tropical:) recent, fresh, death; from the phrase next following. (As.) b9: وَطْأَةٌ حَمْرَآءُ (tropical:) A new, or recent, footstep, or footprint: opposed to دَهْمَآءُ. (As, S, A.) b10: سَنَةٌ حَمْرَآءُ (tropical:) A severe year; (S, K;) because it is a mean between the سَوْدَآء and the بَيْضآء: or a year of severe drought; because, in such a year, the tracts of the horizon are red: (TA:) when الجَبْهَةُ [the tenth Mansion of the Moon (see مَنَازِلُ القَمَرِ in art. نزل)] breaks its promise [of bringing rain], the year is such as is thus called. (AHn.) b11: See also حَمْرَآءُ voce حَمَارَّةٌ. b12: جَآءَ بِغَنَمِهِ حُمْرَ الكُلَى, and, in like manner, سُودَ البُطُونِ, (tropical:) He brought his sheep or goats, in a lean, or an emaciated, state. (A, * TA.) أَحْمَرِىٌّ: see أَحْمَرُ.

تَحْمِيرٌ [an inf. n. (of حَمَّرَ) used as a subst.] A bad kind of tanning. (K.

(TA.) A rájiz says, اَلتَّمْرُ وَالسَّمْنُ مَعًاثّمَّ الأَقِطْ اَلْحَيْسُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَخْتَلِطْ [Dates and clarified butter together, then اقط, are حيس, except that it is not yet mixed]: (S, MF, TA:) from which it might be understood, that these components, when mixed, are not حيس: but this is the contrary of what is meant: (MF:) the meaning seems to be, that these three things, when brought, are virtually حيس, as being the materials thereof, though not mixed. (TA.)

[In the TA it is here added, that this verb is quasi-pass. of الحَوْشُ in the sense of النِّفَارُ; but this seems to indicate that a copyist has written النفار by mistake for الإِنْفَارُ, which is a syn. of the inf. n. of 1 in a sense explained above: so that انحاش signifies He became scared, or the like.] Hr mentions this verb in art. حيش; but it belongs to the present art.

(TA.) b3: [and hence, if correct,] حُمِّقَ He drank wine: (K:) or he became intoxicated, so that his reason departed: thus explained by IAmb; but disallowed by EzZejjájee.

(TA.) حَمِقٌ: see أَحْمَقُ. b2: Also (assumed tropical:) Having a scanty beard. (IDrd, K.) حُمُقٌ: see حُمْقٌ.

حَمْقَان: see أَحْمَقُ.

(TA.) حُمَيْقٌ a contracted dim. of أَحْمَقُ; or dim. of حَمِقٌ: [the dim. form being app. used in this case to denote enhancement of the signification: (see also حُمَّيْقَةٌ:)] so in the prov., (TA,) عَرَفَ حُمَيْقٌ جَمَلَهُ [A very foolish, or stupid, man knew his camel]; i. e. he knew thus much, although أَحْمَق: or, as some relate it, عَرَفَ حُمَيْقًا جَمَلُهْ, i. e. his camel knew him, [namely, a very foolish, or stupid, man,] and emboldened himself against him; or it means that he knew his quality: (K, TA:) it is applied to the case of excessive familiarity with men: (TA:) or to him who deems a man weak, and is therefore fond of annoying, or molesting, him, (K, TA,) and ceases not to act wrongfully towards him: or, as some say, [حميق is here a proper name; and] this person had a camel with which he was familiar, and he made and attack upon him.

حَمَاقَةٌ: see حُمْقٌ.

حُمُوقَةٌ: see أُحْمُوقَةٌ.

حُمَيِّقَةٌ: see what next follows.

حَمُّوقَةٌ: see what next follows.

حُمَّيْقَةٌ, (K,) but in the Tekmileh with teshdeed to the ى and with kesr to the same, [app. ↓ حُمَّيْقَةٌ,] (TA,) and ↓ حَمُّوقَةٌ, (K,) Foolish, or stupid, (أَحْمَق,) in the utmost degree.

(Ibn-'Abbád, K.) Accord. to some, أَحْمَقُ is from the phrase اِنْحَمَقَتِ السُّوقُ: and accord. to some, from the phrase لَيَالٍ مُحْمِقَاتٌ, because the احمق deceives one at first by what he says. (TA.) The sounds of wailing for the dead, and trilling, or quavering, in playing, are termed أَحْمَقَانِ because of the حُمْق of the person from whom they proceed. (Mgh.) b2: البَقْلَةُ الحَمْقَآءُ (S, K) and بَقْلَةُ الحَمْقَآءِ, (K,) the latter for بَقْلَةُ الحَبَّةِ الحَمْقَآءِ, i. q. الرِّجْلَةُ [Garden purslane]; (S, ISd, K;) which is the name applied to it by the vulgar; (ISd, TA;) the chief of herbs, or leguminous plants: called by those names because exuding mucilage (مُلَعِّبَةٌ), so that it is likened to the أَحْمَق whose slaver is flowing: IDrd says, they assert that it is so called because it grows in the tracks of men, so that it is trodden upon; and in water-courses, so that the water uproots it: IF says that it is so called because of its weakness: and it is said that some persons, hating 'Áïsheh, called it بَقْلَةُ عَائِشَةَ; but this is one of their fanciful assertions; for such was its name in the time of utter paganism: so says Sgh. (TA.) b3: [أَحْمَقُ also signifies More, and most, foolish, or stupid, &c. Hence,] it is said in a prov., أَحْمَقُ مِنْ رِجْلَةٍ

[More foolish, or stupid, than a plant of gardenpurslane: explained by what precedes]. (TA.) [See also another prov. voce ثَمَانُونَ.] And in a trad., أَحْمَقُ الحُمْقِ الفُجُورُ [The most foolish of foolishness, or the most stupid of stupidness, is vice, or immorality, or unrighteousness]. (A in art. كيس.) أَحْمُوقَةٌ is from الحُمْقُ, like أُحْدُوثَةٌ from الحَدِيثُ, and أُعْجُوبَةٌ from العَجَبُ: (TA:) it signifies An action, or a deed, of those that are done by the حَمْقَى [i. e. foolish, or stupid, persons]; (Mgh;) [a foolish, or stupid, action or deed:] it is like ↓ حُمُوقَةٌ, which means an action, a practice, or a habit, in which is حُمْق [i. e. foolishness, or stupidity, &c.]. (TA.) One says, وَقَعَ فُلَانٌ فِى أُحْمُوقَةٍ [Such a one fell into the commission of a foolish, or stupid, action, &c.]. (TA.) [See حُمَّيْقَةٌ.]

مُحْمِقٌ and مُحْمِقَةٌ (S, K) A woman who brings forth a child that is أَحْمَق [i. e. foolish, &c.]; (S;) or who brings forth حَمْقَى [i. e. foolish children]: (K:) or, accord. to IDrd, the latter has this signification; but the former signifies a man who begets حَمْقَى; and he does not allow its application to a woman. (TA.) b2: المُحْمِقَاتُ (tropical:) The nights [that make a fool of one; i. e.] during the whole of which the moon is above the horizon but intercepted by clouds; so that one imagines that he has arrived at the time of morning; (A, O, K, TA;) because he sees light, but sees not the moon: derived from الحُمْقُ. (TA.) One says, غَرَّنِى غُرُورَ المُحْمِقَاتِ (tropical:) [He, or it, deceived me with the deceiving of the nights thus called]. (TA.) And you say, سِرْنَا فِى لَيَالِ مُحْمِقَاتٍ (tropical:) [We journeyed during such nights]; because the rider therein thinks that he has arrived at the time of morning until he becomes weary. (TA.) مِحْمَاقٌ A woman who is accustomed to bring forth حَمْقَى [i. e. foolish children]. (S, K.) مَحْمُوقٌ A man [or child] affected with حُمَاق [q. v.]. (A 'Obeyd, S.)
