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

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]: (

IAth:) or the lover experiences from beauty what is experienced from war. (

K.)

TA.)
b7: الأَحْمَرُ وَالأَبْيَضُ Gold and silver. (

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: (

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: (

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: (

AHn.)
b11: See also حَمْرَآءُ
