1 عَمِرَ,
aor. ـَ (
S,
O,
Msb,
K;) and عَمَرَ,
aor. ـُ (
K) and عَمِرَ; (
Sb,
K;)
inf. n. عَمْرٌ (
S,
O,
Msb,
K) and عُمْرٌ, (
S,
O,
Msb,) both
anomalous, as
inf. ns. of عَمِرَ, for by rule the
inf. n. should be عَمَرٌ, (
S,) but عَمَرٌ is also an
inf. n., (
TA,) and عُمُرٌ, which is the most chaste, (
O,) and عَمَارَةٌ; (
K;) He lived, (
S,
O,) or continued in life (بَقِىَ), (
K,) long, or a long time; (
S,
O,
K; *) his life was, or became, long: (
Msb:) and عَمِرَ he grew old. (
TA.)
b2: عَمَرَ بِمَكَانٍ He remained, continued, stayed, resided, dwelt, or abode, in a place. (
B,
TA.)
A2: عَمَرَ,
aor. ـُ
inf. n. عَمْرٌ, (
Msb,) or عِمَارَةٌ and عُمْرَانٌ, (
MA,) It (a place of abode) became inhabited; (
MA,
Msb;) بِأَهْلهِ [by its people]: (
Msb:) [it became peopled, well peopled, well stocked with people and the like, in a flourishing state, in a state the contrary of desolate or waste or ruined, or in a state of good repair:] and in like manner you say, عَمِرَتِ الدَّارُ,
aor. ـَ
inf. n. عَمْرٌ, the house became inhabited [&c.]. (
MA.)
b2: [You say also, عَمَرَتِ الأَرْضُ The land became inhabited, peopled, well stocked with people and camels and the like, colonized, cultivated, well cultivated, in a flourishing state, or in a state the contrary of waste: see its
act. part. n., عَامِرٌ.]
b3: And عَمَرَ المَالُ,
aor. ـُ and عَمِرَ,
aor. ـَ (
K;) and عَمُرَ,
aor. ـُ (
Sb,
K;)
inf. n. عِمَارَةٌ; (
K; [so in most copies; in the
TA, عَمَارَةٌ, and there said to be
inf. n. of عَمُرَ; but, I think, erroneously;])
i. q. صَارَ عَامِرًا [The property, consisting of camels or the like, became in a flourishing state]; (
K;) the property became much; the camels, or the like, became many, or numerous. (
Sgh.)
A3: عَمَرَهُ, (
Msb,
K,)
aor. ـُ (
TA,)
inf. n. عِمَارَةٌ (
K [so in most copies, but in the
TA, عَمَارَةٌ, with fet-h, which I think erroneous;]) and عُمُورٌ (
K) and عُمْرَانٌ, (
TA,) He inhabited it; remained, continued, stayed, resided, dwelt, or abode, in it; namely, a place of abode: (
Msb:) he kept to it; namely, his property, or his camels or the like, and his house, or tent: (
K:) one should not say, of a man, مَنْزِلِهُ ↓ أَعْمَرَ, with ا. (
Az,
TA.) إِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسَاجِدَ اللّٰهِ, in the
Kur [ix. 18], signifies Only he shall abide in the mosques, or places of worship, of God: or shall visit them: (
TA:) see 8: but
Z says, I know not عَمَرَ as occurring in the sense of اعتمر [he visited]: (
TA:) or shall enter them and sit in them: (
Jel:) or the verb in the above-cited phrase of the
Kur has another signification, which see below. (
TA.)
A4: عَمَرَهُ is also
syn. with عَمَّرَهُ, in the first of the senses
expl. below: see 2.
A5: عَمَرَ اللّٰهُ بِكَ مَنْزِلَكَ, (
Az,
S,
O,
K, *)
aor. ـُ (
TA,)
inf. n. عِمَارَةٌ; (
K;) and ↓ أَعْمَرَهُ; (
Az,
S,
O,
K;) May God make thy place of abode to become peopled, [or well peopled, well stocked with people and the like, in a flourishing state, in a state the contrary of ruined or waste or desolate, or in a state of good repair,] by thee [or by thy means]: (
K, *
TA:) but
Az says that one should not say, of a man, مَنْزِلَهُ ↓ أَعْمَرَ, with ا. (
S.)
b2: عَمَرَ الخَرَابَ,
aor. and
inf. n. as above, [He made the ruin, or waste, or the like, to become in a state of good repair, in a state the contrary of ruined or waste or desolate.] (
S,
O,
TA.)
b3: [عَمَرَ الأَرْضَ,
aor. and
inf. n. as above, He peopled the land; stocked it well with people and camels and the like; colonized it; cultivated it, or cultivated it well; rendered it in a flourishing state, or in a state the contrary of waste.]
b4: And عَمَرَ البِنَآءَ,
aor. and
inf. n. as above, He kept the building in a good state;
syn. حَفِظَهُ. (
TA.) So
accord. to some, in the
Kur, إِنَّمَا يَعْمُرُ مَسَاجِدَ اللّٰهِ, [quoted above,] Only he shall keep in a good state [or in repair] the mosques, or places of worship, of God: (
TA:) among the significations of the verb as here used, are these; he shall adorn them with carpets or the like, and light them with lamps, and continue the performance of religious worship and praise and the study of science in them, and guard them from [desecration by] that for which they are not built, such as worldly discourse. (
Bd.)
b5: عَمَرَ الدَّارَ,
aor. ـُ
inf. n. عَمْرٌ [and عِمَارَةٌ, (
MA,) or this,
accord. to the
Msb, is a simple
subst.], He built the house. (
Msb.) [And] He made the house to be inhabited; he peopled it; (
MA;) [or made it to be well stocked with people and the like, or in a flourishing state, or in a state of good repair.]
b6: عَمَرَ الخَيْرَ,
aor. ـُ
inf. n. عَمْرٌ and عِمَارَةٌ, [
app., He instituted what was good: or perhaps, he cultivated, or promoted, it: or he kept to it; or observed it; or regarded it.] (
Az,
TA.)
A6: عَمَرَ رَبَّهُ, (
IAar,
K,)
aor. ـُ (
IAar,
O,) [
inf. n. عِمَارَةٌ,] He served, or worshipped, his Lord; (
IAar,
K;) he prayed and fasted. (
Ks,
Lh,
O,
K.) You say تَرَكْتُ فُلَانًا يَعْمُرُ رَبَّهُ I left such a one worshipping his Lord, praying and fasting. (
TA.) 2 عَمَّرَهُ اللّٰهُ, (
S,
O,
Msb,
K,)
inf. n. تَعْمِيرٌ; (
S,
Msb;) and ↓ عَمَرَهُ, (
Msb,
K,)
aor. ـُ (
Msb,)
inf. n. عَمْرٌ; (
TA;) God lengthened, or prolonged, his life; (
S,
O,
Msb,
TA;) made him to continue in life; preserved him alive; (
K,
TA;) as also ↓ استعمرهُ. (O and
Bd in xi. 64.) It is said in the
Kur [xxxv. 12], وَمَا يُعَمَّرُ مِنْ مُعَمَّرٍ وَلَا يُنْقَصُ
إِلَّا فِى كِتَابٍ, i. e., No one whose life is prolonged has life prolonged, nor is aught diminished of his, meaning another's, life, but it is recorded in a writing: (
I'Ab,
Fr, * O: *) or the meaning is, nor does aught pass of his, i. e. the same person's, life: (Sa'eed Ibn-Jubeyr:) both these explanations are good; but the former seems more probably correct. (
Az,
TA.)
b2: عمّر نَفْسَهُ He determined for himself, or assigned to himself, a limited life. (
K.)
b3: عمّر اللّٰهَ,
inf. n. تَعْمِيرٌ, He acknowledged the everlasting existence of God. (
S,
TA.)
b4: عَمَّرْتُكَ اللّٰهَ I ask, or beg, God to prolong thy life: (
Ks,
O,
TA:) or I remind thee of God. (
TA,
app. on the authority of
Mbr.) [It also seems to signify I swear to thee by the everlasting existence of God. See عَمْرَ اللّٰهِ.]
b5: أُعَمِّرُكَ اللّٰهَُ أَنْ تَفْعَلَ كَذَا I adjure thee by God, and beg thee by the length of thy life, that thou do such a thing. (
K, *
TA.)
b6: See also 4.
A2: عَمَّرَ خِبَآءً بِمَا احْتَاجَ إِلَيْهِ [He furnished a tent with what he required]. (
Msb in art. بنى.) 3 عَامَرْتُهُ طُولَ حَيَاتِهِ [I lived with him for the length of his life]. (
M in art. بلو.) 4 أَعْمَرَ see 1, in three places.
b2: اعمرهُ المَكَانَ, (
K,) and فِيهِ ↓ استعمرهُ, (
S,
K,)
i. q. جَعَلَهُ يَعْمُرُهُ (
K) or جعله عَامِرَهُ (
S) [He made him to inhabit the place, or to people, or colonize, or cultivate, it]. So the latter signifies in the
Kur [xi. 64], فِيهَا ↓ وَاسْتَعْمَرَكُمْ (
S) And He hath made you to dwell therein: (
O,
Jel:) or hath required of you to inhabit it, or to people it, &c.: (
Z:) or hath enabled and commanded you to do so: (
Bd:) or hath permitted you to do so, and to fetch out by labour, or art, your food [for قومكم in the
L and
TA, I read قُوتكم, and this is evidently the right,] from it: (
TA:) or hath given you your houses therein for your lives; or made you to dwell in them during your lives, and then to leave them to others: (
Bd:) or hath prolonged your lives therein. (Ibn-'Arafeh, O.)
b3: أَعْمَرْتُهُ دَارًا, (
S,
Mgh,
O,
Msb,
K, *) or أَرْضًا, or إِبِلًا, (
S,
O,) and إِيَّاهَا ↓ عَمَّرْتُهُ, (
K, *) I assigned to him the house for his life, (
Msb,
K,) or for my life, (
K,) to inhabit it for that period; (
Msb,
TA;) I said to him, of a house, (
S,
Mgh,
O,) or of land, or of camels, (
S,
O,) It is thine, (
S,
Mgh,
O,) or they are thine, (
S,
O,) for my life, (
S,
Mgh,
O,) or for thy life, and when thou diest it returns, or they return, to me. (
S, O.) The doing so is forbidden. (
Mgh,
TA.) [See also عُمْرَى: and see أَرْقَبَ, and رُقْبَى.]
b4: اعمر الأَرْضَ He found the land to be عَامِرَة, (
S,
O,
K,) i. e., peopled [and cultivated, or in a flourishing state]. (
TA.)
b5: اعمر عَلَيْهِ He rendered him rich; made him to be possessed of competence or sufficiency, to be without wants, or to have few wants. (
K.)
A2: اعمرهُ He aided him to perform the visit called عُمْرَة; (
Mgh,
O,
K;) [said to be] on the authority of
analogy; not on that of hearsay; (
Mgh;) but occurring in a
trad.: (
Mgh,
TA:) or he made him to perform that visit. (
IKtt,
Msb.)
A3: See also 8.
8 اعتمر He visited. (
Msb,
K: in some copies of the
K اعتمرهُ.) You say, اعتمرهُ, (
S,
O,) and ↓ اعمرهُ, (
ISk,
Msb,) He visited him, or it; (
S, O;) he repaired, or betook himself, to him, or it; (
ISk,
S,
O,
Msb;) as also ↓ عَمَرَهُ,
accord. to one explanation of a passage in the
Kur ix. 18, quoted above: [see 1:] but
Z says, I know not عَمَرَ as occurring in the sense of اعتمر. (
TA.)
b2: He performed the religious visit called عُمْرَة. (
O,
TA.) You say اعتمر فِى الحَجِّ [He performed the visit so called in the pilgrimage]. (
S.)
b3: اعتمر أَمْرًا He betook himself to a thing, or an affair; as, for instance, a warring and plundering expedition; aimed at it; purposed it. (
TA.)
A2: Also He attired his head (i. e. his own head) with an عَمَارَة, i. e., a turban, &c. (
S,
K.) 10 إِسْتَعْمَرَ see 2:
b2: and also 4, in two places.
عَمْرٌ and ↓ عُمْرٌ are both
inf. ns., signifying the same. (
S, O.) [See 1.
As such, the former is the more common.] And both of these words, (
Mgh,
K, &c.,) and ↓ عُمُرٌ, (
K, &c.,) [used as simple substs., or abstract ns., in which case the second is more common than the first, except in forms of swearing, in which the former is used, and the third is more chaste than the second,] signify Life; (
Msb,
K;) [the age to which the life extends;] the period during which the body is inhabited by life: so that it denotes less than بَقَآءٌ: wherefore the latter is [frequently] used as an
attribute of God; but عمر is seldom used as such: (
Er-Rághib,
B:)
pl. أَعْمَارٌ. (
K.) Yousay ↓ أَطَالَ اللّٰهُ عُمُرَكَ and عَمْرَكَ [May God prolong thy life]. (
S, O.) In a form of swearing, عَمْر only is used. (
S.) [In a case of this kind, when ل is not prefixed to it, it is in the
accus. case, as will be shown and
expl. below: but when ل is prefixed to it, it is in the nom.] You say لَعَمْرُكَ لَأَفْعَلَنَّ, meaning By thy life, I will assuredly do [such a thing]. (
Msb.) لَعَمْرُكَ occurs in the
Kur xv. 72, and means By thy life: (
I'Ab,
Akh,
Bd,
Jel:) and ↓ لَعَمَرُكَ is a
dial. var., mentioned by
Yoo: (
O:) or the former,
accord. to the grammarians, means by thy religion: (
AHeyth, O:) and [in like manner] لَعَمْرِى, and ↓ لَعَمَرِى, [by my life, or] by my religion. (
K.) لَعَمْرُكَ is an
inchoative, of which the
enunciative, مَا أُقْسِمُ بِهِ, [that by which I swear, so that the entire phrase means thy life is that by which I swear,] is understood; therefore it is in the
nom. case: (
IJ,
TA:) or the complete phrase is وَعَمْرِكَ فَلَعَمْرُكَ عَظِيمٌ [by thy life, &c.: and thy life is of great account]. (
Fr, as related by
A'Obeyd.) You say also لَعَمْرُ أَبِيكَ الخَيْرَ, and الخَيْرِ; the former meaning By thy father's instituting, or promoting, or keeping to, or observing, or regarding, what is good; الخير being the
objective complement of عمر, from عَمَرَ الخَيْرَ,
aor. ـُ
inf. n. عَمْرٌ and عِمَارَةٌ; [see 1;] but in the latter case, الخَيْرِ is an
epithet added to أَبِيكَ [so that the meaning is by the life of thy good father]. (
AHeyth,
Az,
O,
TA.) [See also art. خير.] You also say لَعَمْرُ اللّٰهِ, meaning By the everlasting existence of God; (
S,
O,
K;) عمر being here in the
nom. case as an
inchoative, with ل prefixed to it as a
corroborative of the
inchoative state: the
enunciative is understood; the complete phrase being لَعَمْرُ اللّٰهِ قَسَمِى or مَا أُقْسِمُ بِهِ [the everlasting existence of God is my oath, or that by which I swear]. (
S, O.) This expression is forbidden in a
trad., (
K,) because عَمْرٌ [properly] means the life of the body: (
TA:) [but] لَعَمْرُ
إِلٰهِكَ, meaning By the everlasting existence of thy God, occurs in a
trad. (
TA.) When you do not prefix ل, you make it to be in the
accus. case, as an
inf. n.: thus you say, عمْرَ اللّٰهِ مَا فَعَلْتُ كَذَا (
S,
O,
K) I swear by the everlasting existence of God, I did not so: (
S, O:) and عَمْرَكَ اللّٰهَ مَا فَعَلْتُ كَذَا (
S,
O,
K, [in the
CK اللّٰهُ, but this is a mistake,]) By thine acknowledgment of the everlasting existence of God, I did not so: (
S, O:) or the original thereof is عَمَّرْتُكَ اللّٰهَ تَعْمِيرًا, (
O,
K,) i. e., I ask, or beg, God to prolong thy life: (
Ks, O:) [and it is said in the
S that عَمْرَكَ اللّٰهَ sometimes has this signification:] and in like manner عَمْرَكَ اللّٰهَ لَا أَفْعَلُ ذَاكَ means I beg God to prolong thy life: I will not do that: or it may be a form of oath without و [for وَعَمْرِكَ]: (
Ks:) and you say عَمْرَكَ اللّٰهَ اِفْعَلْ كَذَا and إِلَّا فَعَلْتَ كَذَا [and إِلَّا مَا فَعَلْتَ كَذَا By thine acknowledgment of the everlasting existence of God, &c., do thou so]: (
TA:) or عَمْرَكَ اللّٰهَ signifies by thy worship of God: (
AHeyth:) or I remind thee, reminding thee, of God. (
K.)
Mbr says of this phrase, عمرك اللّٰه, that عمر may be in the
accus. case on account of a verb understood; [such, for instance, as أُذَكِّرُكَ;] or by reason of و suppressed, the complete phrase being وَعَمْرِكَ اللّٰهَ; or as being for [the
inf. n.] تَعْمِير. (
TA.) It may also be [found written] عَمْرَ اللّٰهَ; but this is bad. (
Ks.) Some of the Arabs, for لَعَمْرُكَ, said رَعَمْلُكَ. (
Az.)
b2: عَمْرًا وَشَبَابًا: see قُحَابٌ.
A2: عَمْرٌ (
AHeyth,
K) and ↓ عَمَرٌ (
K) signify Religion; (
AHeyth,
K;) as in the phrases لَعَمْرِى and ↓ لَعَمَرِى (
K) and لَعَمْرُكَ (
AHeyth) [mentioned above].
A3: Also عَمْرٌ (
S,
O,
Msb,
K) and ↓ عُمْرٌ (
IAth,
O,
K) The flesh that is between the teeth: (
S,
O,
Msb,
K:) or the pendent piece of flesh between the teeth: (
Az,
Msb:) or the flesh that is between the places in which the teeth are set: (
TA:) or the flesh of the gum: (
K:) or the flesh of the gum that runs between any two teeth: (
TA:) or what appears of the gum: (
Kh,
Msb:) or (so
accord. to the
TA, but in the
K “ and ”) anything of an oblong shape between two teeth: (
K:)
pl. عُمُورٌ: (
S,
O,
Msb,
K:) which some explain as signifying the places whence the teeth grow. (
TA.) It is said in a
trad., أَوْصَانِى جِبْرِيلُ بِالسِّوَاكِ حَتَّى خَشِيتُ عَلَى عُمُورِى [Gabriel enjoined me to make use of the tooth-stick so that I feared for my عمور]. (
O,
TA.)
A4: أُمُّ عَمْرٍو: see عَامِرٌ.
عُمْرٌ: see عَمْرٌ, in two places.
عَمَرٌ: see عَمْرٌ, in four places.
عُمُرٌ: see عَمْرٌ, in two places.
عَمْرَةٌ: see عَمَارَةٌ.
A2: أَبُو عَمْرَةَ means Bankruptcy, insolvency, or the state of having no property remaining; (
Lth,
O,
K;) which is said to be thus called because it was the name of an envoy of El-Mukhtár the son of Aboo-'Obeyd, on the occasion of whose alighting at the abode of a people, slaughter and war used to befall them: (
Lth,
O,
K: *)
b2: and (
K) hunger. (
IAar,
K.) عُمْرَةٌ A visit, or a visiting: (
S,
Msb,
K:) or a visit in which is the cultivation (عِمَارَة) of love or affection: (
TA:) or a repairing to an inhabited, or a peopled, place: this is the primary signification. (
Mgh.)
b2: Hence the عُمْرَة in pilgrimage [and at any time]; (
S, O; *) i. e. [A religious visit to the sacred places at Mekkeh, with the performance of the ceremony of الإِحْرَام,] the circuiting round the Kaabeh, and the going to and fro between Es-Safà and El-Marweh: الحَجُّ [differs from it inasmuch as it is at a particular time of the year and] is not complete without the halting at 'Arafát on the day of 'Arafeh: (
Zj,
TA:) the عُمْرَة is the minor pilgrimage (الحَجُّ الأَصْغَرُ); (
Msb, and
Kull p. 168;) what is commonly termed الحَجُّ being called sometimes the greater pilgrimage (الحَجُّ الأَكْبَرُ): (
Kull:)
pl. عُمَرٌ (
S,
O,
Msb) and عُمَرَاتٌ or عُمُرَاتٌ or عُمْرَاتٌ. (
Msb.)
b3: Also A man's going in to his [newlymarried] wife in the abode of her family: (
IAar,
S,
K:) if he removes her to his own family, the act is termed عُرْسٌ. (
IAar,
S.) عُمْرَى a
subst., (إِسْمٌ [strangely read by Golius أَسْمَرُ],
S,
O,) or an
inf. n., (
TA,) [or rather a quasiinf.
n.,] from أَعْمَرَهُ دَارًا and the like; (
S,
O,
TA;) A man's assigning to another a house for the life of the latter, or for the life of the former; (
accord. to the explanation of the verb in the
K;) a man's saying to another, of a house, or of land, or of camels, It is thine, or they are thine, for my life, or for thy life, and when thou diest it returns, or they return, to me; (
accord. to the explanation of the verb in the
S and
Mgh and O;) a man's giving to another a house, and saying to him, This is thine for thy life, or for my life: (
Th, in
TA: [in which is added, “whichever of us dies,” ايّنا مات, but this I consider a mistake for إِذَا مَاتَ, “when he dies,”) “ the house is given to his family: ”]) so they used to do in the Time of Ignorance: (
TA:) but some of the Muslim lawyers hold the gift to be absolute, and the condition to be null. (
TA, &c.)
b2: Also [The property, or house, &c., so given;] what is assigned, or given, to another for the period of his life, or for that of the life of the giver. (
K.) [See also رُقْبَى.]
عُمْرِىٌّ, applied to trees (شَجَر), Old; (
K;) a rel.
n. from عُمْرٌ: (
TA:) عُمْرِيَّةٌ, [the
fem.,] applied to a tree (شَجَرَة), signifies great and old, having had a long life: (
IAth,
TA:) or the former, the [species of lote-tree called] سِدْر, that grows upon the rivers (
O,
K) and imbibes the water; as also عُبْرِىٌّ: (
O:) or, accord, to Abu-l-'Ameythel [or 'Omeythil] El-Aarábee, the old, whether on a river or not; (
O,
TA;) and in like manner says
As, the old of the سِدْر, whether on a river or not; and the ضَال is the recent thereof: some say that the م is a substitute for the ب in عُبْرِىٌّ [
q. v.]. (
TA.) الفَرِيضَةُ العُمَرِيَّةُ: see المُشَرَّكَةُ.
عُمْرَانٌ [an
inf. n. of عَمَرَ:
b2: and of عَمَرَهُ:
b3: then
app. used as an
epithet syn. with عَامِرٌ,
q. v.: (of which it is also a
pl.:)
b4: and then as an
epithet in which the quality of a
subst. is predominant; meaning A land, or house, inhabited, peopled, well people, well stocked with people and the like, in a flourishing state, in a state the contrary of desolate or waste or ruined; a land colo-nized, cultivated, or well cultivated; a house in a state of good repair: such seems to be meant in the
JK and A and
K, in art. خرب, where, as in the O in this art., it is said to be
contr. of خَرَابٌ,
q. v.]
b5: It is also a
subst. signifying بُنْيَانٌ [A building; a structure; and edifice: or perhaps the act of building]. (

AO,

TA:) which last [is
app. a
coll. gen. n., of which عَمَارَةٌ is the

tropical:) any such plant, absolutely: (
B:) or any such plant with which a drinkingchamber is adorned, (
S,
K,) called by the Persians مَيْوَرَانْ; when any one comes in to the people there assembled, they raise somewhat thereof with their hands, and salute him with it, wishing him a long life: so,
accord. to some, in a verse of El-Aashà, which see below: (
S:) or it there signifies crowns of such plants, which they put upon their heads, as the foreigners (العَجَم) do; but
ISd says, “I know not how this is: ” or the myrtle;
syn. آس: (
TA:) and عَمَارةٌ signifies a plant of that kind, with which one used to salute a king, saying, May God prolong thy life: or, as some say, a raising of the voice, saying so: (
Az,
TA:) a salutation; (
K;) said to mean, may God prolong thy life; (
TA;) as also ↓ عَمَارٌ (
S,
K) and ↓ عِمَارَةٌ; (
L;) but
Az says that this explanation is not valid. (
TA.) El-Aashà says, فَلَمَّا أَتَانَا بُعَيْدَ الكَرَى
↓ سَجَدْنَا لَهُ وَرَفَعْنَا العَمَارَا [And when he came to us, a little after slumber, we prostrated ourselves to him, and] we put the turbans from our heads, in honour of him: (
S:) but
IB says that,
accord. to this explanation, the correct reading is وَضَعْنَا العَمَارَا: (
TA:) or the former reading means, we raised our voices with prayer for him, and said, May God prolong thy life: or we raised the sweet-smelling plants: &c.: see above. (
S,
TA.)
b2: Also عَمَارَةٌ, (
K,) or ↓ عِمَارَةٌ, (

عُمَارَةٌ Hire, pay, or wages, of, or for, عِمَارَة as signifying مَا يُعْمَرُ بِهِ المَكَانُ [see below]. (
K,
TA.) عِمَارَةٌ [is an
inf. n.: and often signifies Habitation and cultivation; or a good state of habitation and cultivation:
b2: and is also
expl. as signifying]
مَا يُعْمَرُ بِهِ المَكَانُ [That by which a place is rendered inhabited, peopled, well stocked with people and the like, colonized, cultivated, well cultivated, in a flourishing state, or in a state the contrary of desolate or waste or ruined;
app. meaning, work, or labour, by which a place is rendered so; as it is immediately added in the
K that عُمَارَةٌ signifies hire, pay, or wages, of it, or for it; and the explanation which I have here given is agreeable with ancient and modern usage; to which it may be further added, that the measure (فِعَالَةٌ) is common to words signifying arts, occupations, or employments, as زِرَاعَةٌ and فِلَاحَةٌ &c.]. (
K,
TA.)

accord. to modern usage, a public edifice:

O,) but the former is the more common, (
Msb,) A great tribe,
syn. قِبِيلَةٌ عَظِيمَةٌ, (
Msb,) or حَىٌّ عَظِيمٌ, (
O,
K,
TA,) that subsists by itself, migrating by itself, and abiding by itself, and seeking pasturage by itself: (
O,
TA:) or it is called by the former name because it peoples a land; and by the latter, because complex like a turban; (
TA;) and ↓ عَمِيرَةٌ signifies the same; or, as some say, all signify a بَطْن: (
Ham p. 682:) or
i. q. قَبِيلَةٌ and عَشِيرَةٌ: (
S, O:) or less than a قبيلة: (
O,
K:) or less than a قبيلة and more than a بَطْن: (

ـكَمَرِ رِجَالٍ قَتْلَى [Hide thyself, O Umm-'Ámir: rejoice thou at the news of locusts cohering, and the glands of the penes of slain men: (in this
prov., for كَمِّ, in the
TA, I have substituted
كَمَرٍ, which is the reading in variations of the
prov.: see Freytag's Arab.
Prov., i. 431:)] this being said by a man, [it is asserted that] the animal becomes obsequious to him, so that he muzzles it, and then drags it forth; for the hyena, says
Az, is proverbial for its stupidity, and for its being beguiled with soft speech. (
TA.) It is called امّ عامر, as though its young one were called عَامِرٌ, and it is so called by a Hudhalee poet: (
L:) or its whelp is called العَامِرُ: (

prefixed noun [امّ, nor,
