(Mgh.) b3: A bar, an obstruction, a partition, or a separation, (S, A, Mgh, L, Msb, * K,) between two things, (S, A, L, K,) or between two places, (Mgh,) [or between two persons,] to prevent their commixture, or confusion, or the encroachment of one upon the other: (L:) an inf. n. used as a subst.: (Mgh:) pl. حُدُودٌ.

صم

1 صّمَّ, (S, M, Msb, K,) and صَمِمَ, which is extr., (M, K,) [first Pers\. of each صَمِمْتُ,] aor. ـَ (M, Msb, K,) inf. n. صَمَمٌ (S, * M, Msb, K) and صَمٌّ; (M, K;) and ↓ أَصَمَّ; (S, M, Msb, K;) He was, or became, deaf; (M, * Msb, K; *) [or] he had a stoppage of the ear, and a heaviness of hearing. (M, K.) And صَمَّتِ الأُذُنُ, aor. as above, inf. n. صَمَمٌ, The ear was, or became, deaf. (Msb.) b2: [And He was, or became, as though he heard not.] One says, صَمَّ عَنْهُ (assumed tropical:) [He was as though he heard not him, or it; he was deaf to him, or it]; (M;) and عَنْهُ ↓ أَصَمَّ [meaning the same]. (S, M.) b3: [Hence صَمَّ signifies also (assumed tropical:) He or it, uttered, or made, no sound or noise; like him who, not hearing, returns no reply to a call or question; (assumed tropical:) was dumb, or mute.] One says, صَمَّتْ حَصَاةٌ بِدَمٍ (tropical:) [A pebble made no sound in falling upon the ground by reason of blood]; i. e. the blood was so copious that if one threw a pebble into it no sound would be heard in consequence thereof, (As, S, M, Meyd, K, TA,) because it would not fall upon the ground: (As, S, Meyd:) the saying is a prov. (Meyd.) And hence the saying of Imra-el-Keys, صمِّى ابْنَةَ الجَبَلِ, (S, K,) in the following verse: بُدِّلْتُ مِنْ وَائِلٍ وَكِنْدَةَ عَدْ وَانَ وَفَهْمًا صَمِّى ابْنَةَ الجَبَلِ (assumed tropical:) [I have been given in exchange, for Wáïl and Kindeh,' Adwán and Fahm: make no sound, O pebble: app. meaning that he would shed much blood]: (S, TA: but this verse is omitted in one of my two copies of the S:) or the meaning is, O echo; (S, M, Meyd, K;) so they assert: (AHeyth, TA:) or O calamity; the saying being a prov.; (Meyd, TA;) applied to the case of a severe calamity; as though meaning be dumb, O calamity; said by As to be applied in relation to an event deemed excessively foul or evil: (TA:) or O serpent; (Meyd, TA;) which is said to be the primary meaning: (Meyd:) or O rock. (A Heyth, K, TA. [See also the second of the sentences here following.]) One says also, صَمَّ صَدَاهُ (tropical:) [His echo became dumb, or may his echo become dumb;] meaning he perished, or may he perish. (S, K, TA.) And ↓ صَمِّى صَمَامِ [in the CK erroneously written صُمِّى] meaning (tropical:) Increase, O calamity: (S, K, TA:) or it is applied to a man who brings to pass a calamity, and means be dumb, O calamity: (TA:) or صَمَامِ means calamity, and war; but primarily, the serpent; and this saying, like صَمِّى ابْنَةَ الجَبَلِ, is a prov. said when two parties refuse to make peace, and persist in opposition; meaning answer not the charmer, O serpent, but continue as thou art wont to be. (Meyd.) b4: صَمَمٌ in relation to stones, (Lth, TA,) or stone, (M,) [app. as an inf. n.,] signifies The being hard [and solid (see أَصَمُّ)]; or [as a simple subst.] hardness [and solidity]: (Lth, M, TA:) and in relation to a spear-shaft, the being compact; or compactness.

And صُمَّ, with damm, He was struck vehemently. (IAar, TA.) 2 صمّم, said of a sword, (S, M, K, TA,) accord. to the K, signifies It struck the joint, and cut, or severed, it: or i. q. طَبَّقَ: but this is at variance with what is said by J and other leading authorities; which is as follows: (TA:) it penetrated into the bone, and cut, or severed, it; but when it strikes the joint, and cuts, or severs, it, one says طَبَّقَ; a poet says, describing a sword, يُصَمِّمُ أَحْيَانًا وَحِينًا يُطَبِّقُ [It penetrates into the bone, &c., sometimes, and at one time it strikes the joint, &c.]: (S, TA:) or it passed into the bones: (M:) and ↓ صَمْصَمَ, said of a sword, signifies the same: (M, TA:) or تَصْمِيمٌ signifies a sword's penetrating into that which is struck with it without its causing any sound to be heard; from الصَّمَمُ in the ear. (Ham p. 326.) b2: And hence تَصْمِيمٌ signifies also (tropical:) A man's keeping constantly, or perseveringly, to the thing that he purposes, until he attains [it]. (Ham ubi suprà.) One says, صَمَّمَ عَلَى كَذَا (assumed tropical:) He kept constantly, or perseveringly, to his opinion in respect of such a thing, after his desiring to do it. (IDrd, TA.) b3: And صمّم, (S, Msb, K, TA,) inf. n. تَصْمِيمٌ, (M, K,) (tropical:) He acted, or went on, with penetrative energy, or with sharpness, vigorousness, and effectiveness, (S, M, Msb, K, TA,) in an affair, (M, Msb, K, TA,) and in journeying, (S, K, TA,) in this case said of a horse, (Z, TA,) and in other things; (S;) as also ↓ صَمْصَمَ. (K.) b4: And (tropical:) He bit, and infixed his canine teeth, (S, K, TA,) and did not let go what he bit: (S, TA:) or صمّم فِى عَضَّتِهِ he infixed his teeth [or canine teeth] in his bite.

(M, K.) b2: [Hence,] أَصَمَّنِى الكَلَامَ (assumed tropical:) He, or it, diverted me from hearing the speech; as though he, or it, rendered me deaf. (TA.) b3: [Hence, اصمّهُ signifies also (assumed tropical:) He, or it, caused him to be as though he heard not. b4: And hence, (assumed tropical:) He, or it, caused him, or it, to utter, or make, no sound or noise; like him who, not hearing, returns no reply to a call, or question; to be dumb, or mute.] One says, أَصَمَّ اللّٰهُ صَدَاهُ (tropical:) [May God make his echo to return no sound;] meaning may God destroy him: (TA:) a prov., said in imprecating death upon a man; the صدي being that which returns the like of his voice, or cry, from the mountains &c.; and when a man dies, the صدي hears not from him anything that it should answer him, so that it is as though it were deaf. (Meyd.) [In the vulgar language, ↓ صَمَّمَ likewise signifies (assumed tropical:) He silenced him, reduced him to silence, or closed his mouth: so says De Sacy, in his Chrest. Arabe, sec. ed., iii. 379.] b5: And اصمّهُ [in the CK اَصْمَمَهُ] also signifies He found him to be أَصَمّ [i. e. deaf]. (S, M, K.) One says, نَادَاهُ فَأَصَمَّهُ [He called him, or called to him, and found him to be deaf]. (TA.) And أَصَمَّ دُعَاؤُهُ His call found persons deaf to it, (Th, M, K,) who would not hear his censure. (K.) b6: See also 1, near the end.6 تصامّ He feigned himself to be أَصَمّ [i. e. deaf]. (S.) [It is intrans. and trans.] You say, تصامّ عَنْهُ and تصامّهُ He feigned to him that he was deaf. (M.) And تصامّ عَنِ الحَدِيثِ (M, K) and تصامّهُ (M) He feigned (M, K) to his companion (M) that he was deaf to the narrative, or story. (M, K. *) تَصَامَمْتُهُ means تَصَامَمْتُ مِنْهُ [or عَنْهُ], i. e. I made a show of being deaf [to it], and feigned myself inattentive [to it]. (Ham p.

(K, TA.) b6: اِشْتِمَالُ الصَّمَّآءِ, (S, Msb, K, TA,) which is forbidden in a trad., (TA,) is (assumed tropical:) The covering oneself with his garment, like [as is done in the case of] the شِمْلَة of the Arabs of the desert with their [garments called] أَكْسِيَة [pl. of كِسَآء]; (A'Obeyd, S;) i. e. the turning the كِسَآء, from the direction of one's right, upon his left arm and the part between his left shoulderjoint and neck, and then turning it a second time, from behind him, upon his right arm and the part between his right shoulder-joint and neck, so as to cover them both: (A'Obeyd, S, K:) or the wrapping oneself with the garment without making to it a place from which to put forth the hand: (Msb:) or, (K,) as the lawyers explain it, (A'Obeyd, S,) it is the wrapping one's body and arms with one garment, not having upon him another, and then raising it [in the K, as is said in the TA, يَضَعُهُ is erroneously put for يَرْفَعُهُ] on one of its sides, and putting it upon his shoulder, so that his pudendum appears from it: (A'Obeyd, S, K:) [but] with the Arabs, لِبْسَةُ الصَّمَّآءِ means the covering one's whole body with his garment, and not raising a side from which to put forth his hand: (Mgh:) when you say, of a man, اِشْتَمَلَ الصَّمَّآءَ, it is as though you said, اِشْتَمَلَ الشِّمْلَةَ الصَّمَّآءَ; for الصَّمَّآء is a sort of اِشْتِمَال. (S. [See also اِشْتَمَلَ, and الشِّمْلَةُ الصَّمَّآءُ, in art. شمل.]) b7: جَذْرٌ أَصَمُّ (assumed tropical:) A surd, or an irrational, root, in arithmetic; which is known only to God, accord. to a saying of 'Áïsheh: opposed to جَذْرٌ نَاطِقٌ. (Mgh in art. جذر.) b8: [فِعْلٌ أَصَمُّ A surd verb is a term sometimes used in grammar, as meaning a triliteral-radical verb of the class commonly called مُضَاعَفٌ of which the second and third radicals are the same letter.]

صَوْتٌ مَصِمٌّ A sound, or noise, or voice, that deafens the ear-hole. (TA.) أَلْفٌ مُصَمَّمٌ (assumed tropical:) A thousand completed; like مُصَمَّتٌ and مُصْمَتٌ. (TA in art. صمت.) مُصَمِّمٌ A sword that passes into the bones: (M:) or that penetrates into that which is struck with it. (TA.) b2: See also صِمْصِمٌ. b3: And (assumed tropical:) A strong camel: so says Aboo-' Amr Esh-Sheybánee: and he cites the saying, حَمَّلْتُ أَثْقَالِى مُصَمِّمَاتِهَا [as meaning I loaded their strong camels with my burdens]: (TA:) or the مُصَمِّمَات, here mentioned, are the camels that do not utter a grumbling cry; patient of travel. (Ham p. 791.)

دن

1 دَنَّ: see R. Q. 1, in four places.

A2: [دَنِنَ is mentioned by Golius and Freytag (by the former as from the S) as though it were the verb of which دَنَنٌ (q. v.) is the inf. n.; but I find no authority for it: and if دَنَنٌ have a verb, it should, accord. to rule, be دَنَّ, aor. يَدَنُّ.]2 دَنَّّ see R. Q. 1.4 ادنّ, (T, K,) inf. n. إِدْنَانٌ, (T, TA,) He (a man, T, TA) remained, stayed, abode, or dwelt, (T, K, TA,) [as though set in the ground like a دَنّ,] بَالمَكَانِ in the place; like أَبَنَّ: (T, TA:) on the authority of Aboo-Turáb, (T,) or Ibn-ElFaraj. (TA.) R. Q. 1 دَنْدَنَ It buzzed, or made a buzzing sound; syn. صَوَّتَ, and طَنَّ, (K,) and طَنْطَنَ; (Sh, T, TA;) as also ↓ دَنَّ, and ↓ دنّن; said of the fly, (K,) [and of the bee, and of the hornet, and the like; for] دَنْدَنَةٌ [inf. n. of دَنْدَنَ] (Lth, T, M, K) and دَنِينٌ [inf. n. of ↓ دَنَّ] (Lth, T, M) and ↓ دِنْدِنٌ [a simple subst.] (M) signify the buzzing (صَوْت, Lth, T, M, K) of the fly, (M, K,) or the bee, (Lth, T,) and the hornet, (Lth, T, M, K,) and the like. (M.) b2: and [hence,] He (a man) spoke in a low, gentle, or soft, tone, so that his speech was not understood; (A'Obeyd, K, TA;) [as also ↓ دَنَّ; for] دَنْدَنَةٌ [inf. n. of the former] (A'Obeyd, T, S, M, K) and دَنِينٌ [inf. n. of ↓ دَنَّ] and ↓ دِنْدِنٌ (M, K) signify the speaking in a low, gentle, or soft, tone, (A'Obeyd, T, S,) or in the manner termed هَيْنَمَةٌ, (M, K,) so that the speech is not understood: (A'Obeyd, T, S, M:) or دَنْدَنَةٌ signifies [merely] the speaking in a low, or faint, tone: (M:) accord. to IAth, it is a little above what is termed هَيْنَمَةٌ. (TA.) A poet says, نُدَنْدِنُ مَثْلَ دَنْدَنَةِ الذُّبَابِ [We buzz in our speech like the buzzing of the fly]. (Sh, T.) And it is said in a trad., حَوْلَهَا نُدَنْدِنُ, (S,) or حَوْلَهُمَا, (M, JM, TA,) which is thus explained: the Prophet asked an Arab of the desert, “What dost thou say in the تَشَهُّد? ” [see this word, which means the repetition of a form of words at the close of the ordinary prayers:] and he answered, “I ask of God Paradise, and seek protection of Him from the fire [of Hell]: but as to thy دَنْدَنَة and the دَنْدَنَة of Mo'ádh, I do not approve it: ” and the Prophet said, حَوْلَهُمَا نُدَنْدِنُ; (M, JM; *) i. e. [We speak with a low, or faint, voice] about those two things, namely, the seeking Paradise and the praying for protection from the fire [of Hell]; and on account of them: (JM:) accord. to some, it is from دَنْدَنَ حَوْلَ المَآءِ He went round about the water: [hence it may mean we utter our prayer respecting them with a low, or faint, sound, as though we were buzzing round about them like flies; seeking to enter the one, and to keep outside the other:] As says that it may be from the signification of the sound [of buzzing], or from that of going round about: (TA:) or, accord. to one relation, the Prophet said, عَنْهُمَا نُدَنْدِنُ [From a consideration of them we utter our prayer with a low, or faint, voice;] i. e. our دَنْدَنَةُ arises from them; and is because of them: and hence, (JM,) دَنْدَنَ means also He (a man, JM) went to and fro in one place. (JM, TA.) دَنٌّ A wine-jar: (MA:) a [jar of the kind called] حُبّ: (S:) or [a jar] in form like a حُبّ: (Msb:) or a large رَاقُود [or earthen jar, smeared inside with pitch, long in the lower part], (M, K,) in form like the حُبّ, (M,) but taller; (M; in the K, or taller than the حُبّ;) uniform in make, [tapering to the bottom,] having at the lower end what resembles the قَوْنَس [or tapering top] of a helmet: (M:) or smaller than the حُبّ, having a pointed lower extremity, [so I render عُسْعُسٌ, (agreeably with the TK,) regarding it as a dial. var., or perhaps a mistranscription, of عُصْعُصٌ, which properly signifies the “ os coccygis,”] (M, K,) so that (M) it will not sit [upright] without one's digging a hole for it: (M, K:) IDrd says that it is a genuine Arabic word: (M:) pl. [of mult.] دِنَانٌ (T, S, M, Msb) [and دِنَنَةٌ and (of pauc.) أَدْنُنٌ and أَدُنٌّ, as appears from the following saying of IAar, quoted by Az:] one says دَنٌّ and أَدْنُنٌ and أَدُنٌّ and دِنَانٌ and دِنَنَةٌ. (T.) [See an ex. in a verse of El-Aashà

cited voce اِرْتِسَامٌ.]

دَنَنٌ A bending, or curving, in the back [so that it resembles a دَنّ: see أَدَنُّ]: (M, K:) and a nearness [to the ground] in the neck and breast, (M, K,) and a stooping, (M,) and lowness, therein, (M, K,) by original natural constitution: it is in a man, (M,) and in a horse or the like, and any quadruped: (M, K:) or shortness, and lowness, or depression, of the neck: (R, TA:) or, in a horse, shortness of the fore legs: or, accord. to As, in any quadruped, nearness of the breast to the ground; which is one of the worst of faults: (S:) or, accord. to Az, in a camel, a leaning forward, with shortness of the fore legs: and, accord. to AHeyth, in a horse or similar beast, shortness of the fore legs, and a consequent nearness of the neck to the ground. (T.) دِنَّةٌ A certain insect resembling an ant: (K:) so called because of its shortness. (TA.) دِنِّيَّةٌ The [kind of cap called] قَلَنْسُوَة, of a Kádee; likened to a دَنّ; (K;) a قلنسوة worn by Kádees, as though so called in relation to the دَنّ, because high and round: (Har p. 109:) accord. to Esh-Shereeshee, originally دَنِينَةٌ; a قلنسوة pointed at the extremity, [in my original الاطراف is erroneously put for الطَّرَف,] worn by Kádees and great men: not a genuine Arabic word, but of the dial. of El-'Irák. (TA.) دِنْدِنٌ syn. with دَنْدَنَةٌ: see R. Q. 1, in two places.

A2: Also Herbage (S, M, K) and trees, (M, K,) or dry herbage, (As, T,) become black, (As, T, S, K,) or wasted and black, (M,) by reason of oldness: (As, T, S:) or what is broken in pieces of [the species of barley-grass called]

بُهْمَى, when it has become black and old: or the stems (أُصُول) of old and wasted trees: (M:) accord. to Lth, the stems (اصول) of trees: but the right explanation is that given above on the authority of As. (T.) دَنَادِنُ The ذَلَاذِل [or lower parts, that are next the ground,] of garments. (K.) أَدَنُّ One whose back resembles the دَنّ; (IAar, T;) [i. e.] having a bending, or curving, in the back; (S, M, K;) applied to a man; (S;) hump-backed: (Fr, TA in art. عجر:) and having the neck and breast near [to the ground], (M, K,) and stooping, (M,) and low, (M, K,) by original natural constitution: applied to a man, (M,) and to a horse or the like, and any quadruped: (M, K:) or, applied to a horse, short in the fore legs: (S:) or, applied to a camel, leaning forward, with shortness of the fore legs: (Az, T:) or, applied to a horse or the like, short in the fore legs, and consequently having his neck near to the ground: (AHeyth, T:) As said that no أَدَنّ ever outstripped except that of the Benoo-Yarbooa: (M:) fem. دَنَّآءُ. (M, K.) [See also دَنَنٌ.] b2: Also, applied to a house, or chamber, or tent, (بَيْت, [for which Golius appears to have read نَبْت,]) Low, or depressed, [app. in its roof.] (S, K.)
