ISk,

tropical:) Such as are held in high estimation, precious, or excellent, or the choice, or best, (
S,
K,

pl. in this sense: (
ISd,
TA:) ↓ حَمَامَةٌ, likewise, signifies the choice, or best, of cattle or other property; and so ↓ حَامَّةٌ, of camels: (
K:) or you say إِبِلٌ حَامَّةٌ, meaning excellent, or choice, camels. (

accord. to the
K, حُمَيْمَاتٌ, but this is the
pl.; (
TA;) A live coal;
syn. جَمْرَةٌ: (
K,
TA:) or redness;
syn. حُمْرَةٌ: (
CK, and so in a
MS. copy of the

حُمَامَى: see what next precedes.
حَمَامِىٌّ One who flies pigeons (حَمَام), and sends them [as carriers of letters] to various towns or countries. (
TA.) حُمّى, (
S,
K, &c.,) a
subst. from حُمّ, (
Lh,
L,
K,) imperfectly
decl., because of the
fem. alif [which terminates it], (
Msb,) A fever; a disease by which the body becomes hot: from ا
لحَمِــيمُ: said to be so called because of the excessive heat; whence the
trad., ا
لحُمَّــى مِنْ فَيْحِ جَهَنَّمَ [Fever is from the exhalation of Hell]: or because of the sweat that occurs in it: or because it is of the signs of ا
لحِمَــام [i. e. the decreed, or predestined, case of death]; for they say, ا
لحُمَّــى رَائِدُ المَوْتِ [Fever is the messenger that precedes death], or بَرِيدُ المَوْتِ [the messenger of death], or بَابُ المَوْتِ [the gate of death]: (

TA:)
pl. of the former حُمَّيَاتٌ. (

i. q. دَيْمَاسٌ: (
K:) of the
masc. gender, (
Mgh,
K,) and
fem. also, (
Mgh,) generally the latter; (
Msb;) but some say that it is a mistake to make it
fem., (
MF,
TA,) though
IB cites a verse in which a
fem. pronoun is asserted to refer to a حمّام: (
TA:)
pl. حَمَّامَاتٌ; (
S,
Mgh,
K;)
accord. to
Sb, [not because the
sing. is
fem., but] because, though
masc., it has no
broken pl. (
TA.) See also حَمِيمٌ.
حَمَّامِىٌّ The owner [or keeper] of a حَمَّام [or hot bath]. (
Mgh.) حُمْحُمٌ: see أَحَمُّ.

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.]
آلُ حَامِيمَ and ذَوَاتُ حَامِيمَ, (

S,) آل being prefixed in this case in like manner as in آلُ فُلَانٍ, (
Fr,
S,) Certain chapters of the
Kur-án (
S,
K) commencing with حاميم [or حٰم], (
K,) [namely, the fortieth and six following chapters,] called by Ibn-Mes'ood دِيبَاجُ القُرْآنِ: (
S:) one should not say حَوَامِيم: (
K:) this is vulgar: (
S:) but it occurs in poetry. (
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. (
Sb,
TA.) You say, رَجُلٌ أَحَمُّ A black man. (
S.) And رَجُلٌ أَحَمُّ المُقْلَتَيْنِ A man having black eyes. (
TA.) And كُمَيْتٌ أَحَمُّ [A blackish bay horse]:
pl. كُمْتٌ حُمٌّ; which are the strongest of horses in skin and hoofs. (

contr. meanings. (

TA.)
